As a side sleeper, I’ve always been worried about the effect the sleeping position has on my spine, hips, and shoulders. (I’m no stranger to waking up stiff, either.) To add to that, I’m in a constant tug-of-war battle over the duvet with my partner, just so I can have something to pad between my knees. That all changed when I tried the Simba Body Pillow.
Many of this year’s best mattresses offer features designed to make side sleeping more comfortable, but there are accessories you can incorporate, as well. Body pillows are designed to help side sleepers get comfortable and sleep in a way that aligns their spine. This works by the sleeper hugging the pillow and placing it between their knees, relieving the pressure on the hips and straightening the spine.
