Pillow Construction
The body pillow is 20″ wide and 54″ in length. It has a soft knit outer cover that is made from a combination of viscose from bamboo, polyester, and a little bit of Lycra for stretch. The cover fabric is called “Kool-Flow” and the logo is clearly imprinted on the pillow’s fabric (for better or for worse!). Inside the pillow is a shredded mix of memory foam pieces. The pieces are a proprietary shredded mix of several different types of foams that are leftovers from the processing of larger foam pieces used to make a mattress or mattress topper, says the company. While other Snuggle-Pedic products are adjustable (meaning an individual can reach in and add or remove the filling), the body pillow is sealed. However, if more or less filling is desired- a person can contact Relief-Mart (the maker of the pillow) directly and they will adjust the pillow and re-seal it.Who Makes It?
This body pillow is made by an online health products company called Relief-Mart, Inc. Snuggle-Pedic is a subsidiary of Relief-Mart. The company says all of its products and support products are developed with the supervision of Dr. Rick Swartzburg, D.C., author of the #1 Back Pain Site and MemoryFoamMattress.org. In addition to the body pillow, the Snuggle-Pedic brand also sells an adjustable shredded memory foam pillow, memory foam mattress topper, and mattress that focuses on airflow.Cleaning
Snuggle-Pedic is always really good about including a lot of instructions for and information about their products. The body pillow comes compressed and rolled up, so the company suggests the first thing to do (prior to washing) is to put it in the dryer for 10 to 20 minutes on high heat. Here are additional cleaning instructions from Snuggle-Pedic: To wash the pillow, we recommend washing the pillows in cold water on a gentle/delicate setting. If needed, color safe hydrogen peroxide bleach may be used for tougher stains. Please ensure that the washing machine is well balanced, due in part to when the pillow is fully saturated it can throw the spin cycle off if the load is not in balance. When the pillow is done in the washing machine, feel free to squeeze the pillow to remove [any] excess water that was absorbed as this will help significantly reduce the time needed for drying. For drying the pillow, we suggest starting out on a low heat setting and if necessary, gradually increasing the dryer heat until the cycle takes no longer to dry than a large load of laundry. We recommend following this procedure because each individual’s dryer works at different levels of strength. What is low heat on one individual’s dryer may be medium or even high heat on another. Putting the pillow in the dryer will actually revitalize the pillow, so feel free to do so every so often.Pros
