The body pillow is extremely heavy making it hard to move from side to side. If you have a weak back this could potentially cause you to throw out your back. It's a well made pillow just too heavy and too long for me personally. The return policy is they are not refundable so I was stuck with two body pillows. Gave one to my son. He loves it. Has improved his sleep and minimized his back pain. Just be aware that you can not return them even if you don't use them.
