Frequently Asked Questions About Body Pillow Plushies
Is sleeping with a body pillow healthy?
+
Yes – in fact, many sleep experts recommend it. A body pillow relieves pressure points and reduces strain on your back and neck. With your limbs supported, you’re more likely to stay aligned in a comfortable position, which helps you sleep deeply and wake up refreshed. Explore our body pillow plushies collection designed for maximum support and cozy comfort.
Do body pillows really work?
+
Absolutely. Studies show body pillows help side sleepers maintain proper alignment and reduce tossing and turning. Many customers report waking with less back or neck pain after switching to a plush body pillow.
What is a Japanese body pillow called?
+
In Japan, body pillows are called dakimakura, meaning “hug pillow.” While often linked with anime pillows, the idea is the same: a long, supportive pillow you can hug for comfort. Our plush dakimakura-style pillows take this traditional concept and add extra softness, making them the perfect modern cuddle buddy.
Is it normal to cuddle a body pillow?
+
Definitely! Hugging a pillow or plushie is completely normal—and even beneficial. Surveys show over 40% of adults still sleep with a stuffed animal or plush pillow. Holding one can trigger oxytocin (the “calm” hormone). Read more in our blog Best Body Pillow Plushies for Adults.
Should side sleepers use a body pillow?
+
Yes! Side sleeping is one of the healthiest sleep positions, and a body pillow makes it even better. By hugging the pillow in front and tucking it between your knees, you keep your spine straight and hips aligned. Side sleepers love our Teddy Bear Plushie and Dino Body Pillow for all-night comfort.
How do I pick the right body pillow?
+
The key is matching your pillow shape and firmness to your sleeping style. For simple side sleeping, a long rectangular pillow (5–6 ft) is ideal. For full wraparound support—like during pregnancy—a U- or C-shaped pillow works best. Browse our giant pillow plushies for cozy, supportive options.
