A cushion will not hold a tablet. Your hand ends up doing it.

You know the arrangement. A pillow folded over, the tablet leaned against it, something wedged in behind so it does not tip. It holds for a while. Then the pillow gives, the screen slides down the slope, and you catch it before it lands.

So you hold it instead. From that moment one hand is committed — not the mug, not the page you were going to turn, nothing else — for as long as the thing is playing.

That is the whole complaint, and it is a small one. It is just there every single time.

What the thing actually is

A stand that is itself a cushion. A soft wedge with a ridged ledge along the front and a padded roll behind it. You set it on the duvet, on the sofa or on your lap; the screen sits in the ledge and leans back against the roll.

Nothing clamps and nothing grips. It is stable on a soft surface — a bed, a duvet, a sofa, a lap. Nudge it and it settles.

How it holds the screen

Along the front ledge there is a row of ridges with grooves between them. That is where the bottom edge of the device goes. The photograph above shows a tablet standing in one of them, leaning back on the upper cushion.

That is the entire mechanism. There is no arm to position and nothing to tighten, and both of your hands are free while it works. It takes screens from 4" to 16".

The pockets down the sides

There are side pockets. In the photograph above one of them is holding a phone and a coiled cable, which is the idea of them: the thing you want within reach but not in your hand.

It folds flat

The two halves close on each other and it goes flat. The photographs show it closed, from the side and from the front.

Where it goes

A bed, a duvet, a sofa, your lap. It is meant for surfaces that give a little.

One honest note about the pictures on this page. They are all the supplier's, and every one of them was taken on a sofa or against a plain background. There is no photograph of it on a bed, so there is not one here, and we are not going to describe one to you in words instead.

It takes screens from 4" to 16" (the supplier's figure). A 17" laptop is outside that range.

Size 29 × 24 × 13 cm. Filling: foam. Size and filling are the supplier's figures. We have not measured them ourselves.

It comes in black, grey, blue and pink. Those are the four that exist; there is no other colour.

It is a pillow stand. It is not a clamp and not a mounting arm, and it does not fix to anything.

What we still have not been told is the heaviest device it will hold, or its folded size. We do not have either figure, and we are not going to put a number on something nobody has given us. We have left the weight off this page for a different reason: the supplier's own figures disagree with each other and nobody here has put one on a scale.

The shop is new. Nobody has bought one from us yet, so there is nothing from customers on this page, and nothing made up to stand in its place.
