This is the start of hibernation. The headlines include the best pyjama sets, all things cozy, comfy and sleep-inducing. Here's one - guide to the best body pillows.
"Whether you feel like you’re getting great sleep or not, a body pillow can make a dramatic difference. Don’t believe us? Just take a look at these benefits. They can help with recovery after an injury. They can relieve pressure on your joints. They can help support your spine. They can provide relief from arthritis pain. They can reduce snoring. That’s not even a full list. Plus, they’re just plain comforting."
Casper.com tells us the benefits of the body pillow:
Keep everything aligned properly at night
Take the pressure off delicate areas of your body
Stabilize your head at the right height
Can help relieve conditions like sleep apnea
Stop your nighttime tossing and turning
Aid your blood circulation and blood flow
"And recent studies have also shown that using a body pillow can help you relax better. This extra benefit comes from cuddling with them since hugging releases hormones like oxytocin that lower stress.
Body pillows also provide the benefits you usually get from a great regular pillow, such as proper spinal and neck support, so you don’t pinch anything or wake up with aches and pains."
There are types and fills - the U shaped pillow, the J shaped pillow, the hug body pillow. Here's an expression I am unfamiliar with - the "loft." It is the height of the pillow - between 5 to 8 inches to accommodate side sleepers.
