Body pillows that will gift you the sleep of your dreams

Side-sleepers rejoice: body pillows are here to give you a great night's sleep.

While body pillows are traditionally used during pregnancy for improved support, it's time everyone took a bit of the comfort for themselves. A body pillow can support your neck and shoulders, your legs and hips, and ultimately give any individual greater comfort throughout the night. While they can look awkward on the bed throughout the day, they're definitely a worthy investment if you're a fussy sleeper.

We've picked out our top body pillows based on their uses and levels of support to help you find the right one.

Best straight body pillows

Sheet Society Full Feather Body Pillow

Get yours for $140

While some body pillows come in interesting shapes to help support different parts of the body, some prefer a straighter shape that they can wrap around or just drape their arms over.

The Full Feather Body Pillow from Sheet Society is another straight option, perfect for side-sleepers. Featuring 95 per cent duck feather and five per cent duck down fill, you can trust in its soft, supportive fill. Cased in 100 per cent cotton japara casing that's also feather-proof, you can also grab one of Sheet Society's many bright-coloured pillow cases to cover it and match it with your bedding.

Elnido Queen Body Pillow

Buy yours for $57.60

The Elnido Queen Body Pillow comes with a simple black case for easy matching with your existing bedding. Designed to support the body, it fits your natural contours as you snuggle against it. It also has memory foam fibre filling for optimal comfort.

Best adjustable body pillow

Dream Science Adjustable Memory Foam Body Pillow

$89.95 on Pillow Talk

This comforting body pillow from Dream Science is actually adjustable, coming with a bag of extra fill so you can plump it up or make it softer to suit your needs. The fill is made from memory foam chips and polyester, and the pillow also comes with a bamboo blend cover, eliminating the need to find a pillow case that'll fit it. 

Best multipurpose body pillow

Pharmedoc C-Shape Full Body Maternity Pillow

Buy yours here!

The shape of this pillow makes it ideal for a range of purposes. Pregnant people will find it supportive during sleep, but it can also be used to support the lower back while sitting, or to tuck beneath the knees if that's comfortable too. Made of adjustable polyfill material that adapts to your shape, you'll be able to find a great position whether you're sitting on the couch or sleeping. You can buy yours now for $64.95.

Best J-shaped body pillow

J-Shaped Full Body Pillow

Available for $47.59

This body pillow is shaped like a 'J', allowing support throughout various points of the body. Following the contoured shape of the body, it can support your neck and shoulders, hips, knees, and pregnant belly if needed. This allows the removal of pressure as you drift off to sleep, a benefit many need, not just during pregnancy.
