Body Support Pillow + Pillowcase - Organic Buckwheat Hull Body Pillow
Body Support Pillow + Pillowcase - Organic Buckwheat Hull Body Pillow
A proper and supportive sleeping pillow is just the first step to a refreshing and rejuvenating night's sleep. Did you know that propping yourself with a body support pillow helps to align the rest of your body so that your entire body can relax and repair while sleeping and not just your neck?
When you sleep on your side, your upper arm will drop forward, pulling your upper body downwards and causing strain in your upper back. By resting your arm on a pillow, your arm doesn't fall forward and your upper back won't be strained.
The same thing goes with your lower back. If your upper leg isn't supported, then it falls downwards, putting strain on your lower back. Putting the support pillow between the knees prevents this from happening.
For back sleepers, placing the body support pillow under the back of your knees reduces stress and strain on your lower back.
The cylindrical design of the Body Support pillow provides additional loft (height) when compared to a standard rectangular pillow, and keeps the hulls in place better for less shifting during the night.

How to use the Body Support Pillow
For side sleepers:
- Hug the pillow between your arms and knees (please check measurements to make sure you choose the right size.)
- Add or remove hulls if necessary to achieve comfortable fit and support.
- Your upper arm and leg should be totally relaxed.
- Our hulls do not compress, keeping your arms and legs aligned and comfortably supported during sleep.
For back sleepers:
- Placing the pillow under the back of your knees reduces stress on your spine.
- Do the slide test by trying to slide your hand under the small of your back. You want to be able to just slide your hand under.
- If there is too much space, then the pillow is too low. Add more hulls. If there’s too little space, then the pillow is too high. Remove some hulls.
- Our hulls do not compress, giving you consistent and comfortable support every night.
