The pillow is able to be rolled up and put into the middle of the frame if you ever find yourself needing to use the storage device as a way to prop up your books. The frame is light weight and flexible as well as sturdy so can withstand plenty of weight. When resting your head on the frame the flexibility of the materials adds a springy bounce, this is something I have found adds to the comfort of the pillow. The frame and the pillow both have four magnets imbedded into the structure, this feature give a satisfying feeling when it is attached to the frame.
