Ever since I got this I don't play anything without it. Be it handheld gaming or console gaming. It's perfectly made to have your hands in perfect position to play, taking strain off your neck and keeps my hands from going numb or get cold when you play without it due to poor posture. Far as quality goes I bought the cheaper model and it seems well made. Soft fabric but durable, and plenty filled so doesn't wear down n go flat like a cheap pillow. I would've bought the premium model as I liked the seperator for the two colors and metal clip but didn't like any of the cartoony offerings that come on all the premium models. Overall I love it and il buy another once they do custom gamertags or allow custom art.

We love it (we ordered 2) but my 15 yr old cat Benny thinks we bought them for him (he's right)

The perfect pillow when playing the Switch or Steam Deck. Keeps my wrists relaxed and carpal tunnel flair ups are no longer a problem.

These are the best pillows for support you didn't know you needed even if you don't have joint issues or chronic pain. We're definitely buying more.

I bought this one for my wife, she loves it. Uses it to sleep, read, and Olay on her phone very happy with this purchase.

The pillow is awesome!! My hands are comfortable, and it's great for naps. Even my puppers like it. Gonna order a Legendery soon.
Beverly M.
I am absolutely loving my new gaming pillow! It works for me for playing games and reading on my kindle. As you can see, when I'm not using it my kitten, Asher is loving it too!
Brandon C.
I love this pillow, it’s the best for gaming!
Anthony F.
I've always used a blanket for support for well over two decades. I wish I'd come up with the idea! Love it and my fiance loves it as well!
Ryno T.
I like this cover better than the legendary one but I'm currently using the legendary one but it works better than I expected
Evan G.
I ordered a gray one and ended up receiving the white one. It's a really good pillow. Now to get a cover for it!
Cathy M.
This is the third pillow I've ordered. I think I may actually get to keep this one for myself! The first two have been taken over by other family members. The pillow is perfect for reading, gaming, and holding all sizes of cats. Kudos for making the perfect pillow!
Leah T.
I have used this pillow for reading more than gaming, but either way it puts you in the perfect position for viewing with looking downward and cranking your neck. Great product!
Josh W.
I really like the gamer pillow. However, I did receive the wrong color of cover. Ordered blue, but received red. Other than that, it’s great.
Ashley B.
I got this for my boyfriend and he's obsessed! He no longer has wrist or elbow pain. He's amazed at how much better he feels after gaming. 5 stars all the way!

The Valari is perfect comfortable for my arms and back while I sat recliner love seat and or sit up on bed while I am using my iPad on it.. It is easy to hold on my waist while I walked around in the house as well.

It was a Christmas gift and the person i got it for says they're enjoying it

We bought 7 Valaris. One for my husband, who games in all his spare time. The other 6 for our young adult nieces and nephews for Christmas. Then I won one in their contest (lucky me, I got the Boba Cat!) 5 of the kids gave positive reviews, stating everything from it helping them when they had a sore back to "good when sitting on my chair but amazing when I'm reading on my bed". The last just hasn't taken it out of the box yet... cause kids....what are you going to do. My husband is a creature of habits and very hard to impress with anything new. He often flatly refuses to try new things if he thinks what he has "works fine". He has used the Valari consistently since taking it out. He's using it now. He thinks our chiropractor would be pleased, as most of his ongoing chiropractice issues are related to his long hours on his comp at work and controller at home. He feels less strain on those areas with his Valari.
I don't game as much but am currently using this to support my elbows while I type this review. But I'll be honest.. I don't get to use mine much. I find it very difficult to use, in fact. My cats think the Valari is the bomb and they don't appreciate when I move them from it... so I don't. Tonight I filled their bowls with a special gravy based treat so they flocked to the food and I STOLE their Valari!!
When this happens, usually at least one of them will plop themselves on my Valari while I do computer work. It's great- they seem more stable there and it's easier for me to pet them while I procrastinate... I meant, while I pay the bills.
Shipping took longer than expected- as I ordered on Black Friday but we didn't receive them until after Christmas, but the customer service was ON POINT. Since 2 of the kids were only in town for Christmas, I asked them to ship 2 specific colors directly to their apartment and the owner responded quickly and addressed my request immediately. In fact, I've emailed their customer service repeatedly with questions before I bought them and since I ordered- and they've always responded quickly, professionally, and very personably. They take pride in their work and truly make me feel valued as a customer.
Maybe sometime the last kid will actually open his pillow up and try it and I can add more... but great product, great service... not sure what else you might need to know!

Definitely made gaming more comfortable

I have a free couch that’s not very supportive to begin with and wow. This pillow makes all the difference!! I have support in my back when I’m playing games and when I’m just lounging. It’s changed my comfort experience forever. It also helps with the arthritis in my elbows when I’m holding my controller. Pure joy, would buy again.
Quinn M.
I didn’t know I’ve been missing this my whole life!

I'm not a gamer, but with WFH I spend a lot of time working on my laptop and phone from my couch. The pillow supports my arms and devices and keeps my neck from bending uncomfortably all the time. The fabric is soft and the case is easily removed for washing. Which is a good thing as my cats have discovered the perfect little divot created between the pillow and my chest. I use it consistently.
Jaime M.
I got this for gaming and for crochet. I’ve been having tendinitis in my shoulder from crocheting and had to stop for a while. I’ve had this pillow for a week and am able to crochet without shoulder pain. As a bonus, my cats also love snuggling on it with me (though that makes it hard to crochet).
Brian M.
Its very soft and alot comfortable than I was expecting. I primarily wanted this to not hunch my back while playing handheld games but even for just playing your TV is very practical.
Daniel K.
It's a premium boppy pillow. Love it! I have spinal cord injuries and this helps.
Valerie W.
I bought this as a reading pillow to
help me maintain better posture when reading and it’s AMAZING. Yes, it looks like a nursing pillow, but I’ve tried using one of those and this fits better because it’s not made to hold a baby but your own arms as you game/read/whatever. My cats also think it’s the perfect body pillow for them.
Juan M.
Awesome , simply awesome. Game changer for sure!

I live on the east coast of the US and it took almost a month to have it delivered. Pillow came in with very funny smell and the cover had to be washed instantly. After Pillow it comfortable to use.
Matt C.
Matt likes the gaming pillow very much. However, Rosie the dog adores it also. Bit of a competition as to who will get to use it and enjoy it.

I've only had it for 2 days now but I'm loving it. I struggle with getting comfortable with handheld systems. Since the Vita and the 3DS launches, I've tried every which way to get comfy using them for more than an hour. Nothing was working. I would end up with hand cramps, arms falling asleep, neck issues from looking downward, etc. Before this pillow, I had mastered the art of a specific position so weird looking you'd think I was a toddler playing the SNES on a 7" CRT in 1993. My Valari pillow now lets me recline in my chair, watch TV with my wife, and game on my Steam Deck or Switch in complete comfort. Okay let's be honest who has touched their Switch since getting a Steam Deck ;)
I have 1 little gripe with it in that it could be a bit stiffer. Not memory foam stiff, but like 15-20% more stuffing. But that's just my opinion and I will not take away any rating for that.
Overall, 5/5 boppy pillows recommend this product.
Connie T.
I have been using my Valari pillow for about a week now and I love it. It is plush, soft and very comfortable. I am in the older generation so do not use it for what is probably the normal clientele for the Valari; but, I do enjoy playing games on my cell phone in the evening as relaxation and when using the Valari my arms are kept at an even height and I am not bothered with sore arms when held in odd positions with no cushioning. I also use it when I read as it keeps my book at a height for seeing the words clearly and very little need to hold the book with my hands/arms. Bottom line, I am very pleased with my Valari and am glad I purchased it. I would highly recommend it for young and old alike.
Bucky F.
I love this pillow, it’s perfect for sitting on the couch or sitting up in bed. Never knew I needed it
william G.
Love it, it’s really nice and comfortable. My wife asked why I ordered such a giant neck pillow… lol.

I saw the Valari pillow on kickstarter and backed it thinking it's a nice idea even though I'm not an avid gamer and wasn't sure how often I'd use it.
Let me first start by stating that I love it and that you don't even need to be a gamer to enjoy its benefits. I use it to rest my arms while sitting watching tv. Also my laptop sits comfortably on it when I want to work from my couch.
It's become an essential household item. Sadly my partner started using it because it comforts her and brings her warmth, so we're often fighting for it. Looks like I'll need to place another order.
Jay O.
Got my rare valari a couple of days ago and it works perfectly. I have not noticed any manufacturing defects/issues on mine. I am able use a controller on my couch or chair more comfortably using it!

While I’ve posted a photo of my pup enjoying the gaming pillow, I absolutely love it too. It’s the perfect shape and size, being small at the back when it’s around your waist and puffier in the front. This is great for elbow support for gaming, reading, crocheting. It feels like a good, comfy hug around my waist and offers lower back support too where it wraps around. I usually can’t wait to get home and shove myself into a couch corner with my Vilari wrapped around me while I crochet or play Horizon. My boyfriend is super jealous (both of the pillow AND me), so I plan on getting him one next.

So comfortable! I use it whenever I'm gaming, reading, or on my laptop
Jamie K.
I received it as a gift from my sister, absolutely love it! Use it for gaming mostly, but also just lounging around and chilling. Great gift sis!! x
Regina T.
I gave this to my roommate who is an avid gamer as a gift. SHE LOVES IT!! it supports her while playing. This is awesome!
Chris M.
I was a bit sceptical when I first saw the pillow, but once I started using it I realised just how much it helps! Well done Valari!
Sami O.
I use my Valari all the time for couch gaming! Great product, feels great, super high quality!
