Body Pillow Info

Body Pillows are a great way to snuggle up and relax in your home. While Body Pillows have been around for a long time, they have only recently been recognized as an item that has decorative potential as well.

A Body Pillow is large by design and hard to concele when not in use. It only makes sense that your body pillow should look good when it's laying around and you are not!

In the past, it was possible to cover your body pillow with pillow cases or sheets. Nowdays, you are able to select custom fabrics or even outdoor fabrics, so that lounging has never been more stylish! Browse our selection of over 200 Sunbrella fabrics and customize your Body Pillow to enhance your decor.

HISTORY OF THE BODY PILLOW

The Body Pillow is not a new idea.  The concept of the modern Body Pillow originated in the Far East and was originally called a "bamboo wife".  Also known as a Bolster Pillow, the ancient body pillow was made out of bamboo, by a wife, to comfort her husband in his travels.  These body pillows are still popular in the Far East, and are so common they are often seen in hotels.  Body pillows are reguarly used by small children for sleeping, and this habit carries over into adulthood.  The body pillow is preferable over sheets in these climates due to the heat and humidity.

USES FOR  MODERN BODY PILLOWS

Body Pillows are great to use when sleeping or napping.  But the comforts of body pillows don't stop there!  Body pillows can be used on your bed to add volume and prop up your stuffed bed pillow shams or other decorative pillows.  Consider using your body pillows on the floor in front of the TV, using them to double as TV Pillows.  Your body pillows can also be used as a decorative pillow on a long bench at the foot of your bed or in a hallway.  Use your imagination and use your body pillows in creative ways in your home!
