Body Pillow
|
In talking with my Mom, she mentioned that when she was young she slept with a "bolster," which I think translates more closely to what we nowadays call a "body pillow". It's a long soft pillow you can hug to your body. I'd like to get her one, and I wondered if anyone here owns one and recommends any particular brand? Philly888 |

I have used body pillows for years and always forget "the best one". Have tried many and have finally settled on Body Pillow by Laura Ashley @ BBB. $20.00 and it's not too large and will flatten some with use. When it looses it's fluffyness, I replace it for $20 and have enough cases so we don't have to buy anymore. |

Since my original post this pillow has picked up a few negative reviews, so even though the price is excellent I haven't ordered. The main complaint is that it's too big and fluffy and doesn't lose its fluff - apparently many people are accustomed to body pillows that lose their fluff and/or prefer them that way. I'm still thinking of getting a body pillow ... someday. Philly888 I bought one about one and a half years ago... was a memory foam one from Ortho for about $100. I've like it, but as a side sleeper, it's not substantial enough for me as I like my arm that is on top to not collapse into my body, which it still does too much with the one I got. So I got some kind of synthetic-fill pillow from Costco that is really puffy and put that on top of the body pillow ("BP") for my arm and that works. Where the BP works well though, is between my knee caps. Not too thin or thick. (I don't remember why I got the Ortho one rather than the one Tempurpedic sells... I think they were priced similar.) Anyway, I was in Select Comfort yesterday looking at the air beds (no, I'm not getting one of these, they don't feel right), and they had a BP there that I liked a lot. Fluffier and more substantial than the Ortho or Tempurpedic. I will probably get that, costs about $50. |
