Simple yet Satisfying! (Blog #3)

I picked a back-rest pillow for my "something" to look at it's design. A back-rest pillow is very simple in design and is very comfortable. It's like a chair without the seat. You set it on the back of your bed against the back rest. It looks like someone just added arms to a very fat pillow. This makes it very comfortable for me to sit on my bed without having my back hurt in the process of doing homework for various classes.

I was sitting in my bed doing my homework one night and my back started to hurt. I had to keep changing the way I was sitting all the time. Then my one friend comes down from her room to do homework with me and she brings down this pillow thing and I ask her, "What's that?" It looked like a mutant pillow. She told me that she uses it when she sits up against something to help her back from hurting whilst doing homework. She let me try it out from a day and it kept me from having to move around thus eliminating the time I spent on homework. I was able to finish my work faster.

The back-rest pillow is not too big to carry around if I move to a new location to complete my work. Accompanying the pillow is a handle on the top making it very easy to move to and from some place I am currently working at. I continue to use it for comfort and it has a very soft plush texture to it while still being very firm and supporting my back well.

I looked at this pillow for a long time trying to think if I could possibly make it better. It was hard to think, because it's pretty awesome the way it is. But if I had to change one thing, I would want it to be a little wider so it could support that much more of the back and allow more padding.

I've seen most people use this pillow the exact same way I do, however I saw my friends roommate, who has one, use it very much like a pillow. She laid on it and did his homework that way. I tried it out to see if that was comfortable, and to be honest, i thought it was ridiculously uncomfortable. It was too fluffy for me to be comfortable to lay down on my stomach and have it underneath me.

I love how simple the design of the pillow is. Someone put "arms" and a handle on an extremely fluffy pillow and its like having part of a chair in your bed. It allows me to focus on my homework and less on whether or not I'm comfortable. I think it's neat how something so simple can make a huge difference in something such as doing your blog for this IT class at this college called Juniata College.
