This simple pillow, handcrafted in Los Angeles from organic vegan materials and a buckwheat fill, provides physical support that in turn supports the mind during meditative moments.

Sharper Image Full-Body Pillow
Crafted out of hypoallergenic fiberfill, this horseshoe-shaped pillow is ideal for side sleepers and those suffering from neck or shoulder pain — providing the fully-body spooning support of not one but two humans.
"This body pillow has enhanced my quality of sleep tremendously. I have hip and sciatic nerve pain. By elevating a leg onto the pillow the pressure is relieved in my hip/sciatic to provide me with a good night's rest. The body pillow acts as a nest and is so comfortable and soothing. I highly recommend this product whether you have any pain or not. It's wonderful," one supported reviewer raved.

This comfy-soft yet structurally-firm pillow is engineered to elevate and support your body for enhanced sexual activities that span far beyond intercourse. Plus, the incognito-indigo good can moonlight as lumbar support when propped up against a chair back.
As one reviewer attests, "It's been used every evening. While it does what it is described to do for sex, the other benefits are making the Pillo a must-have. It is the best back support for sleeping and for reading in bed."

Nurse Jamie Age Delay Beauty Pillow
Beauty rest meets neck-and-lumbar support in this chic ergonomic pillow — it works its magic for both back and side sleepers by combatting forced facial lines or creases with its delicate satin fabric and supportive head-cradling structure.
As one well-rested and fresh-faced reviewer raves, "I bought this pillow in purple at Christmas and have used it ever since. Saying I love it would be an understatement. It’s the perfect height, temperature and my face has no lines or puffiness upon awakening. My hair is no longer dry or fuzzy either. I cannot praise this pillow enough. I bought another one!"
