If I am watching TV I am most likely sitting on my bed so I thought I should get a large pillow which would allow me to do so comfortably without ruining my mattress or the linens. I found a 10? ?round? memory foam body pillow on a website that stressed the comfort level and the multiple practical uses of their product. Even though the main point the site stressed was the use of the body pillow as a pregnancy aide (positioning for the mother-to-be to improve comfort while sleeping or resting and as a cradle for the new-born child), I thought I could make use of the size and shape of the pillow as a prop to forward on, set behind my back while sitting up in bed, and as a sleeping aide. I bit the bullet and ordered the non-returnable pillow in the hopes I could at least sell it to a friend, or perhaps on eBay or something.

I don?t know how I managed to survive over a year in my apartment without this pillow. I have had it for almost 3 months now and my only concern is whether my constant use of the pillow will warrant me having to purchase another one within a few years. I can lay on my stomach clutching the pillow under my arms and chest in great comfort, I can sit up in bed and against the wall with the pillow providing support for my lower back, and I can wrap around it at night to help me sleep. One unexpected surprise when I received the pillow was that it is 100% memory foam! By this, I do not mean it was 100% memory foam for the first inch and then some sort of filler the remaining 9 inches, I mean it was a huge chunk of memory foam all throughout! It is extremely comfortable and could serve as a home defense devise given its large size and sturdy construction. Hope this article helps those of you who are looking for the perfect body pillow for your home or apartment.
