The 4 Best Phone Holders For Bed

Whether you’re using your phone to chat, stream, read, or game in bed, the best phone holders for bed free up your hands for more comfortable use. The best style and size for you really depends on what you'll be using your phone for and what kind of bedside setup you’re working with. That said, top-rated phone holders are always made from sturdy materials, utilize grippy rubber or silicone to prevent your phone from slipping, and allow you to adjust the viewing angle so you can always look at your phone in comfort. Any phone holder you choose should also be compatible with your specific phone model (case included), so check the measurements provided by the manufacturer before you buy.

There are a three types of phone holders that are well-suited for in-bed use to consider:

• A gooseneck phone holder holds your phone at the end of a long, flexible neck that makes it easy to tweak the angle of your phone. These often secure to your headboard or bedside furniture with clamps or brackets so you'll want to make sure your furniture isn't too thick to fit.
• A cell phone stand props your phone up for easy viewing and sits on a flat surface like a nightstand or even your bed. If you want to easily charge your phone in the stand, some models have open backs for unobstructed access to the charging port.
• A neck-mount holder can be worn around the neck like a necklace, which means you can easily shift around or even get up while still having a clear view of your phone. Since it’s a device you wear and use mostly hands-free, look for padding at the neck for comfort.

Whether you prefer to keep your phone on the nightstand or headboard, these phone mounts and stands provide options for using your device without holding it in your hand.

The arm is a little stiff at first but becomes very adjustable once you get some use on it. Great product and has a big grip so able to attach to most surfaces with a ledge.”

I love using it in the kitchen when looking at recipes and on my desk while working on the computer from home. Also works great on my nightstand for listening to podcasts or watching a show in bed, and when my alarm goes off in the morning it’s propped up right there. Highly recommend.”
