Press and hang on the back of the couch, arm or chair, or sandwich in between the mattress in the bedroom.
If using on the couch, put something heavy in the back pocket to give some weight to hold in place such as an old remote, etc.
I recently had a fractured knee cap and could not get up to get the remote, phone when someone called, etc. and I hated to always ask my husband to hand them to me. This solved the problem of having them handy.
