I bought this body pillow to give my back more support when I had to sleep on my sofa bed for a few months while my bedroom was being remodeled. The firm support of the body pillow helped my back stay in good position during the night and feel better in the morning. The body pillow would be even better if it was a little wider so that I could sleep on top of it rather than just against it. I liked the quality Tempur-Pedic puts into its products and so when I redecorated my bedroom after the remodel, I bought Tempur-Pedic pillows for the bed. The technology to stay cool and comfortable during the night is excellent.
