A husband pillow, also known as a boyfriend pillow, gets its name
from its high back and two long arms. The husband pillow looks like the
top of an armchair and is used to prop the user up while sitting in bed
or on the floor. If you are looking for a multi-purpose pillow that you
can use for bed or work, this pillow is one of the best choices for you.
Here are some of the advantages that have made these cushions one of
the most popular.
Orthopedic support
Lower back problems getting your down? Sleeping takes up to 1/3 of your
life. For many people without pillows that provide orthopedic support,
this means that a third of their lives are spent worsening their lower
back pains. To avoid waking up on the wrong side of the bed each day,
you need to sleep with the support that the orthopedically designed
boyfriend pillows provide. The usual design which these pillows have
includes a backrest and arm rests that are similar to a recliner.
However, most new husband cushions can be packed to remove the arms and
head rest so that you are left with a comfortable pillow for sleeping in
at night.
Portable
After the bed comes the office. If you work nine to five jobs at the
office, another great portion of your life is spent sitting in front of
the office desk. There are a variety of stretching exercises that you
can perform in order to keep your body limber in spite of the hours of
stagnant position. One of the best solutions, however, is to ensure that
your back is properly supported even while sitting in your office
chair. There are plenty of husband cushions that work well not just in
bed but even in the office chair or your couch and sofa sets. Choose
husband cushions that come with straps that will allow you to fit the
set into whichever chairs you are using. For long drives when taking a
vacation with family, you can even attach the pillows to your car seat.
Because the usual husband cushion weighs less than seven pounds,
portability is never an issue.
Features and customization
For the lazy Saturday afternoons dedicated to lounging around, the
husband cushions are the perfect companion along with your DVDs or
books. New models include features such as cup holders and small pockets
that will allow you to stay in place and relax without needing to leave
the comfort of the cushion just to reach for a pen, some mints, or a
cup of tea.
Fun designs
There are square pillows, rectangular pillows, and round pillows. The
design options in the husband cushions are equally endless. You can go
for the basic design that features the arm rest and head rest, or you
can opt for the orthopedically designed sets that can help eliminate
lumbar pain and lower back problems. Husband cushions also come in a
wide variety of creative designs - some are shaped like a real human to
give you something to hold onto at night, while others are shaped to
accommodate the entire body.
Husband pillows
Whether as a gift
this coming Christmas for a friend with lower back problems, or a treat
for yourself, the husband pillow is definitely one of the choices if you
are looking for something to provide quick comfort in bed or the office
seat.
