I must say, when I think of body pillows, I can’t fend off my intrusive thoughts about the romance culture surrounding them. That’s definitely a story for another day. But I just want to clarify that when I gush about “loving” this bed accessory, it’s strictly platonic. When they’re not drowning in marriage proposals, body pillows are known to alleviate back pain, provide lumbar support, and induce sweet uninterrupted dreams, according to Spine-Health. They also range anywhere from $20 to $400, depending on what you’re looking for. Usually the higher the price, the more back benefits, durability, and sleeping experience.
