Abstract: A body pillow (10) formed as a one-piece body-length soft foam cushion, somewhat irregular in overall shape, designed for resting or sleeping in a prone position, on either the right or left side. Portions of the pillow are interconnected by a full-length, comparatively narrow strip of foam (11) joined to a head section (12) supporting a user's head separately from one arm of the user. An intermediate section (14) of foam at the waist of the pillow supports a user's rib cage in such a way as to avoid an unnatural curvature of the user's spine. The foot of the pillow provides a sizable cushion disposed between the knees and ankles of the user. Design of the pillow provides a resting position allowing bodily appendages underneath the pillow to be free of the weight of those appendages resting above the pillow. The entire pillow may be covered with a one-piece fitted cover of cotton percale or similar material, with a full length closure extending along one side.
