Body Pillow

Body Pillow 

Why use a body pillow? Why not just sleep on your regular, everyday pillow? Well, for starters, body pillows are created to accommodate more than one sleep position. They're designed to offer support and relieve pressure from the neck, head, back, hips, and knees. But that's not the best part! Body pillows can also offer many other unique benefits such as: 

Body pillows are supportive cushions that keep the body in line, reducing acid reflux by preventing you from sleeping on your stomach, side, back or any combination of all three. If you sleep on your side with a body pillow then this can also boost your digestion because, when you sleep on your side the placement of your organs means that it helps keep your stomach acid from traveling up therefore, causing you less acid reflux. If you sleep on your side sleeping with a body pillow will mean that you and your body are more comfortable and more supported when sleeping in this position. 

Sleeping with a body pillow helps improve your sleeping position, a body pillow helps us align our head, neck and back with any sleeping position we end up in, therefore reducing the pressure that would usually be on or shoulders and hips, body pillows support your natural position while keeping blood flowing and easing muscle tension. You may fall asleep in one position but it is very hard to stay in that position that is why sleeping with a body pillow benefits us as it allows for us to sleep in any sleeping position with compromising any of the support that it offers us.  

Sleeping with a body pillow also helps if you have sleep apnea or if you snore whilst sleeping, people who sleep on their back or stomach sometimes may snore because, their tongue and soft palate get blocked therefore, getting in the way of their airways. If you sleep with a body pillow you able to sleep against your body pillow therefore, allowing your airways to open up again thus stoping you from snoring.
