A pillow with arms is also known as a backrest pillow, and it’s one of those things you never knew you needed until you tried one yourself. If you enjoy reading, watching TV or gaming while in bed, this kind of pillow will give your back, neck and arms the support it needs to stay comfortable. We’ve rounded up 10 of the best pillows with arms to help you find the perfect one for your home.
10 Best Pillows with Arms That Are Full of Style
1. Clara Clark Reading Pillow
The Clara Clark pillow is every reader’s dream come true. The backrest is 31” high, so it provides full support. Thanks to the included head/neck pillow and arms, this pillow provides support for your entire upper body:
- Head
- Back
- Neck
- Arms
Plus, the ultra-soft plush and breathable material makes this pillow feel like you’re on cloud nine. Clara Clark’s Reading Pillow has built-in pockets for your books and devices. It also comes with a handy leg pillow for the ultimate in comfort and support.
2. Better Homes & Gardens Furry Bed Rest Pillow
This pillow with arms from Better Homes & Gardens is like a big, soft teddy bear. The faux suede material is ultra-soft, and the neutral color makes it a perfect fit for any bedroom, living room or dorm room.
The built-in faux fur handle makes it easy to carry with you, too, so you can take your pillow wherever you go.
3. Ebern Designs Lorna Pillow
The Lorna Pillow from Ebern Designs is velvety soft and comes in more than a dozen different colors to match your home.
The pillow is made from a polyester blend for easy care. The convenient zipper makes it easy to fill the pillow with the included polyfill, and when the cover needs a good cleaning, just remove it and toss it in the washing machine.
The Lorna Pillow arrives completely deconstructed, so it’s a bit different from the usual pillow purchase. But the vacuum sealed polyfill saves on space, allowing the manufacturer to ship it in a smaller package.
And the pillow is still every bit as fluffy and comfortable as the ones that arrive pre-filled.

Does your living room or bedroom have a boho style? This pillow will be the perfect addition to your space.

9. Sunside Cat Reading Pillow
Looking for a cute pillow with arms? It doesn’t get more adorable than Sunside’s cat reading pillow. And yes, this pillow is made for adults.
We love the adorable smiling cat face and paw prints on each arm. It’s like being hugged by a giant cat (don’t try this at home!).
The backrest on this pillow is surprisingly tall at 22” and from one arm end to the other is about 37.”
Each armrest has a convenient built-in pocket, and the filling can be adjusted to your liking.
The Sunside cat reading pillow comes in three colors: black, pink and white.
10. Sliguy Extra Large Reading Pillow
Sliguy’s extra large reading pillow stands an impressive 31” tall (with the attached pillow) to provide full back support. We love the headrest pillow that comes with this item because it has a curved bottom and a more traditional pillow shape. It’s removable, too, so you don’t have to use it.
Like other backrest pillows, this one has a deep back pocket and pockets on each arm for easy storage of devices or whatever you want.
Because it arrives vacuum-compressed, this pillow will take a few days to expand to its full size. But once it does, you won’t be disappointed by how comfortable and supportive it is.
Sliguy’s pillow also comes in five fun colors: black, dark gray, purple, light gray and navy blue.
