These Body Pillows Belong in Your Bed ASAP
Confession: I have had the same lumpy, over-loved body pillow since moving into my freshman dorm years ago. I won’t tell you when I started college, but just know that Vine was still a thing, Miles Teller had yet to grow facial hair, and my body recovered much quicker from a wine night, so it’s been a minute. And although my body pillow and I have seen each other through some good times (the naps!), my neck, back, and hips have been dropping painful hints that it might be time for an upgrade.
In my search for comfort, I scoured the internet for some of the best body pillows and chatted with Kellen Scantlebury, DPT, a Doctor of Physical Therapy and CEO of Fit Club NY, to give you all the deets on the amazing benefits body pillows provide. Yup, we’ve literally got your back here. “We spend five to eight hours a night sleeping, and if we do it in optimal postures and positions we should wake up refreshed and ready to attack the next day," Dr. Scantlebury says. "A good body pillow may be just what the doctor ordered to help you level up your health."
So do yourself and your back a *major* favor and keep scrolling to see our list of body-ody-ody-ody-ody pillows that will have you hitting snooze every morning, plus advice straight from Dr. Scantlebury to your bed. You don’t wanna sleep on this one! Or maybe you do, actually??
You're probably here bc you know you'd sleep better with a body pillow to cuddle. We have body pillow picks straight from a Doctor of Physical Therapy, below.
