We’ve compiled a list of the best body pillows that you can buy right now so you can prepare for the best nights sleep ever.
Mingfuxin body pillow
J-shaped for full body comfort
This J-shaped body pillow offers full support for your head, back, shoulders, spine, stomach, hips and legs. It’s made from a high-density soft silk-cotton which will keep the pillow supportive even after years of use.

It’s ideal for side and stomach sleepers or even if you want some support whilst you’re lying in bed reading or watching tv.
Bamibi® pregnancy pillow and nursing pillow
Multifunctional with full body support
This body pillow is ideal for pregnancy right through to when you’re nursing. It offers excellent support for backs, shoulders, arms and side for any mum to be. It also has an internal pillow that can be used for feeding or as a nest for the baby to use on the sofa or inside a cot. It has clasps either end of the cushion which will convert it into an anti-roll cushion so you can reduce the strain on your shoulders, arms and back when you hold it in your arms.
Queen Rose pregnancy pillow
U-Shape for extra comfort and support
This body pillow is made using a unique bionic polyethene filling that will provide long-lasting comfort during pregnancy or if you’re a side sleeper.

NOFFA full body pillow
Premium memory foam for a stronger hold
Filled with premium shredded memory foam, this body pillow is more supportive than down or wool versions. It comes semi-vacuum packed so you will need to leave it for up to 48 hours before it’s fully inflated to its original shape. The cover is removable and machine washable, so it is easy to keep fresh. You can use this pillow to sleep, to support you whilst reading or even to help support you and baby whilst nursing.
Utopia bedding body pillow
A pillow that compliments your own natural contour
This soft and durable body pillow has ball fibre filling, which helps to support the shoulders, hips, stomach and back whilst lying down. At 4ft 6 inches it’s big enough to support your whole body whilst you sleep. It’s got a cotton blend outer shell cover so that you won’t sleep too hot. It’s machine washable, and you can tumble dry it when on a low setting.
Pharmedoc full body pillow
Perfect for use in pregnancy or recovery
Forget about multiple pillows; all you need is a C-shape pillow. This full-sized body pillow is ideal for anyone needing a bit more support, such as during pregnancy or even recovering from surgery. It’s made using adjustable polyfill fibre which can adapt to your back and stomach for extra comfort.
The bottom line
When you need a bit of extra support as you sleep, getting a body pillow can be the best way to do that. We love the Mingfuxin body pillow because it offers good all-round support whilst being super comfortable too.
The Utopia bedding body pillow is another good choice. It’s the perfect size for a double or king bed. It can also be machine washed so will always feel fresh and clean.
