Using the Wedge Pillow

Sitting Back

BEST FOR: Reading, watching TV, laptop use, post-surgical recovery
Enjoy comfortable back and neck support when reading or streaming and better posture when working on a laptop. An elevated upper body position can also assist with post-surgery recovery* only if advised by a doctor, helping to improve circulation and reduce swelling.

Sitting Upright

BEST FOR: Reading, watching TV, laptop use, recovery, breastfeeding
Sitting upright on the Wedge can improve posture and comfort while reading, watching TV or using your laptop in bed. This position can also support breastfeeding and post-surgical recovery* only if advised by a doctor. Adjust the backrest placement for lumbar (lower back) or head and neck support.

Lying Down

BEST FOR: Reflux, snoring, pregnancy, postpartum, post-surgery
Opening the airways and helping to prevent stomach acid from rising, a wedge pillow can reduce reflux, snoring, and respiratory symptoms. A wedge can also provide back support during pregnancy or for postpartum mothers, and the slight incline makes getting out of bed easier post-surgery* only if advised by a doctor.
*Wedge Pillow is only suitable for post-surgery use and recovery if advised by a doctor.

Using the Pregnancy Pillow

Configuring into 5 different positions, our Cooling Pregnancy pillow easily adjusts to suit your growing needs.

The half-moon pillows are designed to support your belly and back, and relieve pressure when placed between the legs.

The main body pillow can prevent you rolling back, and help align your body when placed in front.

Using the Leg Elevation Pillow

Easy Elevation

Contoured memory foam comfortably elevates your legs – promoting circulation, easing swelling and alleviating muscle soreness.

Bonus Height Pad

Sky high or slightly elevated? The choice is yours. Level up your support with a bonus height pad for custom comfort as needed.

Combined Support

For additional support when sitting up or reclining, our Cooling Wedge Pillow can be used together with your Leg Elevation Pillow for combined support.

Using the Knee Pillow

To help reduce hip misalignment and back pain when sleeping on your side, place the open curves of the pillow between your knees, with the widest part sitting between your thighs for cushioned support all night long.

What Is a Body Pillow?

Body pillows are uniquely-shaped specialty pillows designed for these specific needs, offering targeted support for your body while you rest.

At Ecosa, we know restorative sleep can be hard to achieve, especially if you require tailored support and pressure relief you just can’t get from a traditional pillow.

Our body support pillows range includes a Cooling Wedge Pillow, Cooling Pregnancy Pillow, Cooling Leg Elevation Pillow and Cooling Knee Pillow for tailored support where you need it most.

What Are Body Pillows Used For?

Unlike traditional pillows, body support pillows are designed to sit or lean back on, be hugged, wrapped around, or positioned between the knees or legs for added alignment and comfort, depending on your requirements.

These specialty pillows can provide enhanced body support to promote spinal alignment, better sleep posture, pressure relief, and comfort — particularly if you sleep on your side, if you’re pregnant, and in some cases when recovering from surgery (only if advised by a doctor).

Should You Buy a Body Pillow?

If you need a tailored sleep support pillow, are experiencing joint or back pain, or simply want to improve the quality of your sleep or chill time, an Ecosa body pillow may help. When deciding if a body support pillow is right for you, the types of body pillows to consider include:

  • Maternity pillows to support your growing bump, hips and back.

  • Post-surgery pillows for gentle support during recovery (only if advised by a doctor).

  • Orthopedic pillows may help relieve joint or back pain.

  • Leg elevation pillows and knee pillows to help reduce pressure and improve circulation.
