A body pillow is designed specifically for side sleeping. It is about 3 times as long as a standard bed pillow. It is placed in bed running the length of your body so the sleeper may hold it between their knees and between their arms at the same time. This type of sleeping position not only provides incredible comfort but is also a proper way to alleviate pressure from between your knees and arms.

Pregnant women enjoy the extra support a body pillow provides. In this scenerio, the body pillow is between the arms, underneith the belly (elevating it to a balanced position relative to the bed) and between the knees. It is also helpful while nursing, supporting both the mother and baby in various body positions.

Body Pillows can also be used along the headboard, placing it lengthwise across the top of the bed. This gives and extra support while sitting and reading in bed.

We recommend placing a zippered pillow cover over your body pillow. This will protect your body pillow over time and ensure it's use for years to come. They are machine washable by carefully following the instructions provided.

Our Holy Lamb Organics body pillows are filled with pure wool and will never harbor dust mites. This is not true for cotton and down bedding which provide a nesting place for dust mites. Therefore, people who have allergies, low immune systems or are in particular allergic to dust mites can choose wool bedding as a safe healthy alternative to cotton and down bedding.
