What is a "body pillow"?

A body pillow is a long, narrow pillow designed to provide support to the whole body while sleeping. It is typically around 20 by 54 inches, or 51 by 137 cm, offering extra comfort for the head, neck, back, and legs. Body pillows are often used by people who need additional support while sleeping on their side or by those who enjoy hugging the pillow for comfort. They are made from various materials such as cotton, polyester, or memory foam, and they can be helpful for relieving pressure on certain parts of the body during rest.
