    Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

    (Fatwa: 158/158/M=1432)

    It is required etiquette to recite the holy Quran placing it on juzdan, cover, pillows etc. Do not put it at a place, which are trampled by feet but with cover or pillow. (Fatawa Mahmoodiah, Vol. 7, p. 16, published by: Maktaba Mahmoodiayah Meerut)
    It is mentioned in Hindiyah:
    لا يلقى في موضع يخل بالتعظيم . (هنديه 5/324)

    Allah (Subhana Wa Ta'ala) knows Best
