Body Pillows Offer Support and Spinal Alignment for Side Sleepers, According to WIRED Tests

Side sleepers seeking improved comfort and spinal alignment may find relief in body pillows, according to recent tests conducted by WIRED. The comprehensive review assessed various body pillows, considering factors such as support, cooling properties, and overall comfort.

The Sleep Number Cool ComfortFit Body Pillow emerged as a top pick in the WIRED testing. While the exact criteria for "top pick" was not disclosed, the pillow was highlighted for its cooling properties. For those seeking a more budget-friendly option, the Snuggle-Pedic Body Pillow was recommended as an affordable alternative, according to WIRED.

WIRED noted that body pillows can be a "godsend" for side sleepers, addressing the common issue of constant repositioning and the need for multiple pillows to support pressure points. The length of body pillows allows users to cuddle fully while providing support to their limbs, potentially aiding in spinal alignment.

Other body pillows featured in the WIRED review included the Tempur-Pedic BodyPillow, recognized for its firm support, and the Slumber Cloud UltraCool Body Pillow, noted for its plush feel. Prices ranged from $79 for the Slumber Cloud option to $199 for the Tempur-Pedic pillow, with some pillows available at discounted prices at the time of the review.
