Weighs over 7.5 pounds.
It's super supportive.

Katie: All right, if you want to see a list of my favorite body pillows, just google,
"Mattress Clarity best body pillows."
It'll be the first thing that pops up.
I'm always looking for more to review.
If you have one you want me to check out, just comment below, leave a name, and I'll
add it to my list.
Let's talk about this one.
This is the TEMPUR-Pedic Body Pillow.
Again, if you're familiar with TEMPUR-Pedic, you're going to know there's TEMPUR material
in here.
The dimensions of this pillow, and it comes in one size or body pillow, it's 48 inches
long, 14 inches wide and 5.5 inches tall.
It's filled with the solid piece of TEMPUR material, or 100 percent polyurethane foam,
or memory foam.
All goes by different names.
Essentially, it's really supportive, slow-responding memory foam.
It's also shaped interestingly, if you feel your hand along here you'll notice there's
some ridges, these are called shapeable micro-cushions.
Just a fun name for it.
Basically, it's just little hills and valleys of your pillow.
The outer cover has a zipper that allows you to remove it.
This is a mix of 60 percent polyester, and 40 percent blend of nylon bamboo, and a tiny
little bit of silk in there.
Of course, you've got that classic TEMPUR texture, their name on it.
You can use this zipper to unzip the cover and remove it.
You can machine-wash it but make sure you line-dry it or leave it outside to air dry
so it doesn't shrink.
The feeling is that solid piece of foam, so you're not going to be able to watch that,
just make sure you keep it as clean as possible.
It comes in at full price, $199, and a five-year limited warranty.
Just keep in mind that, TEMPUR-Pedic does not allow any returns.
Here's something I really like about the TEMPUR-Pedic Body Pillow, I love how much support you get.
It's great pressure relieving support with this TEMPUR material, this foam inside.
It's going to conform to your body.
It's not going to fall flat on you.
It's really substantial.
It's also not going to move around in your bed a lot, because it is over 7.5 pounds,
so it's pretty significant.
Of course, I love any pillow that allows you to remove that casing, wash it and keep it
clean, so I love that part about it as well.
If you sleep on your side, you want a little bit of extra height and support, or if you're
pregnant and you want to support your bump, I definitely think this could be a good fit
for you.
I also want to share with you some considerations you should think about before purchasing this
pillow.
The first one is that, it's a pretty significant pillow.
It's over 7.5 pounds.
It's filled with a solid piece of memory foam.
It's not going anywhere, but it's definitely going to take up space in your bed.
Think about your sleeping situation.
If you have a partner, maybe your beds already a little bit tight on space, just make sure
you account for this pillow in here because it's definitely going to take up some room.
I also think that it's a good fit for those side sleepers, people who want a big significant
amount of supportive foam.
If you're looking for something that's a little bit more subtle, I would go towards a down
or down alternative, something that's a little bit more plush.
Of course, the price is $199 at full price, which is not everyone's budget.
Probably my least favorite thing is that there are no returns at all on these pillows.
Let's talk about the best sleeping positions for the TEMPUR Body Pillow.
It's designed for side sleepers and pregnant women in mind.
I think that that's a great idea, because it's a pretty firm, medium firm solid piece
of foam in the filling here in a 5.5-inch height.
That extra loft and extra firmness really tends to be the best fit for side sleepers,
because you need to fill that space between your shoulder and your head if you think about
what it's like to sleep on your side.
I love how conforming it is.
Pregnant women can rest your bump on here and it can really provide some nice extra
support, especially towards the end when your back is probably hurting as well.
Stomach sleepers, you can use this pillow as well, you can sleep on top of it, but it's
going to feel really significant, and probably a lot until your body sinks into it.
Back sleepers, for me personally, when I tried to use it on my back, my body kept pushing
it away.
It couldn't really get on top or rest close enough to this big piece of foam to get comfortable.
Overall, I had a great time reviewing the TEMPUR-Pedic Body Pillow.
I've reviewed a bunch of different TEMPUR-Pedic Pillows, and I love that really nice supportive
TEMPUR material, that solid piece of memory foam.
If that's something that you already know that you'll like, I definitely suggest looking
at this full body pillow for that full support if you're looking for it.
You can put it between your knees.
It'll really help keep your hips aligned.
It's especially a great fit for those of you who sleep on your side.
Of course, what's not to like, can use this long zipper to remove the cover and keep it
clean.
Of course $199 is not everyone's budget, and I totally get that.
There's no return policy.
Once you buy it, you're kind of in it with that investment.
Something to keep in mind.
Definitely, let me know if you've got any questions, or if you want a personal recommendation,
just come and blow.
I'm always checking back.
Thanks.
Hope to see you soon.
