Ever had a restless night, spent tossing and turning, just wishing you had someone to curl up next to you? Or, alternately, have you ever had a different kind of restless night, wishing the person next to you would stop tossing and turning? It's hard finding the perfect slumber companion, but body pillows can provide the snuggly softness of a human and, if need be, function as a barrier between you and the soft human next to you who's keeping you up all night. And hey—they're cheaper than investing in a new mattress.
Looking for a body pillow that does it all? This one by MedCline may just be your best bet, thanks to its adjustable memory foam fill and versatile J shape. “I love pillows made with memory foam,” says sleep consultant Christine Stevens. She points to this one as a favorite specifically for its memory foam fill, calling it “very comfortable.” The body pillow’s versatility extends past the shape, too, since it comes in two different sizes and includes a removable, washable cover. It’s specifically designed for side sleepers and can help alleviate pressure on your neck, spine, and hips throughout the night. A good night's sleep isn’t necessarily as simple as a new coat of paint, but there’s something to be said for a room that exudes tranquility. If painting is out of the budget, you can opt for accessories in calming colors. Popper says that pairing soothing blues or earthy greens with dimmable mood lighting makes it easy to adjust the ambiance in your bedroom.
If you tend to multitask in this space, consider eliminating unnecessary items that might serve as a distraction, such as exercise equipment, work devices and miscellaneous clutter. Devices are on the list, too. They serve as a distraction and can mess with your circadian rhythm. “Leave electronics out of the bedroom, including TVs, tablets and yes, even your phone,” says Christine Stevens, a sleep consultant and coach for exhausted professionals. |
