Different Physique Pillows We Favored
White Noise Reminiscence Foam Physique Pillow With Hypoallergenic Zippered Protector for $44: I completely love the fill of this 50 x 14-inch pillow—the shredded foam is the right mixture of construction and softness. If it had been wider, 20 or so inches quite than 14 inches, this pillow could be excellent. However as a result of I’m a side-only sleeper, I like to carry the physique pillow and wrap my legs and arms round it. Since it’s so slender, my knees knock collectively on the opposite aspect.

It comes with its personal customized pillow case, which is nice, as a result of it is not such as you’ll have a ton of spares on this form in your linen closet. —Eric Ravenscraft
Ones to Keep away from
Bearaby Cuddler for $199: Bearaby is finest identified for its weighted blankets, eye masks, and stuffed animals, but it surely makes different sleep merchandise like heated pads and throw blankets, in addition to its physique pillow, the Cuddler. At 75 inches lengthy and eight inches in diameter, and with a filling of plant-based Melofoam, the Bearaby stands proud on this listing, however not for the perfect causes. The Melofoam, an all-natural foam comprised of rubber-tree sap, is in contrast to every other pillow fill I’ve slept on. It is heavier than a stuffed pillow however lighter than reminiscence foam and has a rubbery, bouncy high quality. Its springy fill and thin physique made for a clumsy, if not uncomfortable, aspect sleep. It claims to help joints, neck, and again to alleviate stress, but it surely wasn’t thick sufficient or dense sufficient to supply any actual help. And its extraordinary size made it match awkwardly on the mattress; I used to be by no means certain of contort it to finest match my sleeping physique.

These gaps typically occur the place your limbs relaxation, thus defeating the aim of getting a physique pillow for help. The pillow is barely about 2 inches deep and didn’t appear to ever spring up after I took it out of the field. I needed to shake and knead the fiber to assist make it extra uniform all through the within of the pillow, but it surely did little to assist.
