Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Get the quality of rest and support you deserve with Pinzon's luxurious down-alternative body pillow. Generously filled to a medium firmness density, it provides great upper arm and leg support for side sleepers who want to keep a healthy hip-to-spine alignment, as well as stomach support for pregnancy. Use it as a cozy companion to wrap around and snuggle against. Hypoallergenic and generously filled with 100 percent EnviroLoft, a blown polyester cluster fiber, the pillow is designed to mimic one filled with natural down in look, loft, and feel. The white shell is made from pure cotton in a 375-thread-count sateen weave for sumptuous softness, and it's finished with satin piping. The pillow measures 20 by 54 inches and is designed to look superb in any decorative pillow cover. A cover does not come included with the pillow. Along with offering great looks and utility, the body pillow is easy to care for at home in the washer and dryer.

Definition of Sateen: Sateen fabric has a supremely soft, satin-like finish resulting from a four-over-one thread weave. Standard weaves, like percale, use a one-over, one-under stitch. The four-over weave puts more threads nearer the surface, resulting in a softer, warmer surface. Sateen fabrics are most often made of mercerized cotton, but can be made of other fabrics, including cotton blends, polyester, and rayon. Mercerized threads give sateen fabrics a higher luster. Mercerization, named for process-creator John Mercer, involves treating threads with a cold concentrated sodium hydroxide solution. Mercerization also increases strength, dyeability, and resistance to mildew, as well as reduces lint. Sateens can be produced in light and heavy weights, and are ideal for bedding.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very lofty, not firm - not what I expected, April 21, 2008

This review is from: Pinzon 300-Thread-Count Cotton EnviroLoft Body Pillow (Kitchen)

I'm not happy with this pillow, although it is very well made and obviously high quality (thus the four stars). If you are looking for a light and fluffy body pillow, this will suit your purposes well. For me, it was too fluffy and not nearly as dense or firm as I would have liked. When you lay with this one, it seems like it doesn't put any space between your knees, but it is still all billowed up everywhere else! I found it annoying and was unable to continue using it.

I just gave this pillow Pinzon 300-Thread-Count Cotton EnviroLoft Body Pillowto my sister-in-law who is far along in her pregnancy. She has told me this is just what she needed to alleviate some of her lower back issues and helping her with proper spine alignment. Trying to rest and get comfortable is important to her now, so I am glad she is enjoying this. You can call this a maternity pillow, body pillow or just a great gift but I think for mom's to be you can't go wrong with this.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Back & Knee Relief, November 13, 2007

This review is from: Pinzon 300-Thread-Count Cotton EnviroLoft Body Pillow (Kitchen)

I read that many pregnant women buy body pillows for proper back support. I bought because my old back injury was acting up and I thought if nothing else it would make a good pillow to go on the bed for reading against.

I was happily suprised how nice and soft it felt - trust me I went to alot of local stores and their body pillows were like bricks. This one not only was soft - but even thr fabric was really nice - versus the junk out there that has cheap flannel on them.

When I go to bed at night I sort of cradle it between my knees and sleep with my neck onit - like a big banana - its great. I really love the new Pinzon collection - glad to see them going beyond books.

Cheers,
Stef
