The body pillow was my birthday present from my husband. We already have other tempurpedic pillows, which we love. I have very sore hips and back due to Fibromyalgia and the pain sometimes effects my sleep. The body pillow is wonderful for side sleep. I have used it a few weeks and my hips have not been sore. I've also slept through the night because the pillow is supportive. It is great for watching TV too.
