Making your bed comfortable is about more than choosing the right bedding; it's also about optimizing your sleep position. Depending on how you sleep, you can disrupt your spinal alignment, making it more difficult to fall asleep. Drew Barrymore has found a unique solution: sleeping with a body pillow.
She explained her admiration for body pillows in an interview with People. Barrymore stated: 'I sleep with a body pillow like I’m still pregnant!' She explains: 'Being a mom, businesswoman, and someone whose mind is constantly racing, it can feel not just challenging but impossible. I used to toss and turn throughout the night or stay up staring at the ceiling, unable to fall asleep.'
Choosing the perfect pillow is no easy task, but a body pillow is always a great option for side sleepers. These extra large and long pillows give people who sleep this way something to support your legs and arms as you sleep. This can help keep you in proper alignment leading to a better night of sleep.
Editor's Picks of the Best Body Pillows
This inexpensive body pillow is a smart choice if you want to try a body pillow but don't want to spend too much. The cover is hypoallergenic, and it's similar dimensions to a lumbar pillow, so you can easily make it part of your bedspread.
If you know you want to invest in a top body pillow, this is perhaps your best bet. On test, we loved the Tempur-Adapt memory foam topper, and if this the same material, it will be incredibly comfortable.
This U-shaped body pillow is designed for pregnancy. It has a cooling cover so that you don't overheat, and part of it is detachable, so you can adjust it exactly as you need. Available in 15 colors and three different sizes, it has tens of thousands of 5-star reviews.
For Drew Barrymore, as for most of us, a proper bedtime routine is essential to her high-functioning life. She states: 'We can’t be our best selves without a good night’s rest. Ask any cranky baby — or grownup! Quality sleep is essential. It impacts us mentally and physically, our well-being, and our overall health. It affects how we show up in the world.'
She enhances the possibility of this by sleeping with high-quality cooling bedding alongside her body pillow.
