I’ve had body pillows before, but I don’t think I truly appreciated them until I became pregnant…. then they were a MUST to be able to sleep comfortably! And since then, I’ve never looked back. My biggest problem with body pillows has been that they’re too thin or just go flat after using them for awhile… then they’re useless. Or that I need one on each side because I roll back and forth a lot when I sleep!
The full body pillow from Essentia has solved all of those problems. It’s u-shaped to work not only on both sides of your body, but also as a pillow. It cradles you in for cozy sleep and it is thick and heavy and has not flattened AT ALL – and I’ve had it for about 2 months. Trust me–it’s heavy–it’s filled with shredded natural memory foam.
Actually, because this full body pillow is so fluffy and doesn’t flatten (which is GREAT!) and I’m small, I found the pillow part to lift my head too much… but I just flip the pillow over so that end is at my feet! We have a king size bed and sometimes even put this full body pillow in the middle. Then I get one “leg” of it and my husband gets to use the other.
If you love to feel cradled and cozy and are always building a support wall of pillows, this full body pillow will be perfect for you! Our favorite use is on the floor for the kids–they have nearly demanded it 😉 Ryan (my almost-4yo) is always asking for it. Both kids can relax in it at the same time and it’s great for movie nights.
Right now this body pillow is actually in a blanket fort we made for the kids in our porch… indoor winter fun! It’s like a bed for them and we snuggle to read books 🙂
When it arrived, it did have the smell of plastic (because it was wrapped in a bag for shipping) so I took off the removable cover (nice!) to wash a few times. Because the pillow is so heavy, it’s a bit of a struggle to get the cover back on–but that’s a problem I’ll deal with because I appreciate the weight and durability of the pillow! You just melt in to the natural memory foam and it won’t flatten!
You can read more about the natural memory foam that’s used by Essentia on their website–it’s made from hevea milk (rubber tree sap). You can buy this full body pillow for $489 and never need another one!
Essentia has more great pillows, too, as well as mattresses (I’d die for one of those!!!) and organic sheets… so check them out! They were on The Dr. Oz Show as a #1 “hot list” product! They’re having a holiday bonus sale of 15% off with the code Holiday.
