What is my best bet for reading in bed without back/neck/shoulder pain?

Post date: 2024-04-20 04:25:22

I love to start the day by reading in bed and end it by watching something in bed. My neck and back don't enjoy it. Right now, I sit propped up with a husband pillow, but this seems to round my neck and spine and cause pain. I don't know how to read ergonomically at all, because looking down is apparently bad and I'd be exhausted if I tried to hold a book or tablet at eye level!

Options I'm considering:
- A projector aimed at the ceiling so I can lie on my back (but this precludes snacks/drinks...)
- Prism glasses so I can lie on my back and read (same problem as above, though)
- Some kind of real backrest that turns my bed into a couch? Then I'd need some kind of stand to hold my book/tablet

I'd like to spend as little as possible on this - I'll spend as much as I have to because health is a priority expense, but I don't actually have that much to work with.

Additional question: what is the best reading posture when using transit, waiting in public, or some other kind of non-ideal setup when I don't have a stand or even a seat with a back handy
