Is it possible to sit up and read using these wedges or would something still be needed on top of the mattress for sitting up to read?

This product is designed to raise your head in bed...check their web site for details. To read whilst in bed, you need a back rest. Hope this helps!

No, it only lifts the mattress a few inches, that is nit enough to "sit up".

No, it is not high enough to watch TV or read a book. use to raise my legs while sitting in recliner

The wedges are foam and dense enough to sit under a set of heavy bookshelves without deforming. From the sound of it, but depending on the size and weight of your AC, it might work.

I have a 2 lb Japanese text book, box of tissues, headphones, bag of hard candies, gameboy advance, nintendo 3ds xl, and the 3ds accessories and case in the pockets, so it weighs quite a bit... but it stays up pretty well. So I think books would be fine, as long as you make sure to get the flap far under the mattress. But if your mattress slides on your box spring, it will fall occasionally like mine does.

Not really. The chair lays back quite a bit. When I read from my iPad I have to use a pillow to prop it us so I can see it better.

I find it awkward to use, both sitting down and rising. It is also hard to raise up from a reclining position. It is, however, very comfortable to lay in to read. I always make sure it its near a strong surface, so I can use that to help me push up. The seat is about 18 inches from the floor, but your feet are not directly beneath you making it somewhat difficult to get out of. I hope this helps. I do like it and am glad I bought it.

No, I don't think that it would be possible to read while using the machine. It does come with an area meant to hold an Ipod and it could be possible to place an e-reader on the bezel above that section but it is not designed for it. Plus you get the best workout while using your arms and legs at the same time so it would be hard to reader while exercising.

No. This is more like a plate holder. It's meant for a flat non-moving surface. It also puts the tablet at an angle that would be sub-optimal for reading.

We have it on grass, so not terribly easy to rock on that, but on a hard surface (such as when we move it to the deck) not too hard.You may want an extra pillow for reading, really a personal preference, we find it incredibly comfortable for reading. We love this chair.

Yes you can that is what I have on it right now.I was a little leery because of the spacing, so I put down the cardboard that the foam mattress came in on top of the frame.Every once in a while I have to slide mattress around,but no big deal.They say you do not have to use anything on top but I figure better save then sorry.

I've done both. Laying on the floor is a little more intense, so you may want to start by using it in your bed. I tuck a pillow under the top part and read a book while laying on it. It's amazing.

A person can sit on the edge for a short time, as when getting up to get out of bed. But to sit on side of bed and, for instance, to put one's socks and shoes on, would probably not be a good idea. Bed would need to be very firmly inflated for edge to be firm enough for prolonged sitting. But then there is the risk of over-inflation as I recently caused and the interior baffles which create the ribbed "quilting" burst, leaving one side of bed higher than the other side. I had slightly slid off side and clumsily fell back on. When I quickly bounced up, I heard a popping sound and that was when the baffles on that side broke.

Well, you can, but is stands up with the long axis in the verticle, so unless you have a table which puts the open Kindle at eye level, it is not very useful for reading.

Unless you put a book at each end that is deep enough to span the opening, you will probably have to use bookends. There is no side support.

I think it would depend on the size of the book. I personally don't keep it in the most upright position because it gets a little wobbly.

I have used the bedrest on my sofa and I liked the extra back support while reading. Helps prevent slumping.

Anna: Have not had a chance to put them up yet but would not be using them to read in bed. We are going to use them with timers on the wall. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.
