How to protect your body pillow
As with all pillows, body pillows need protection. This will help the pillow last longer so you won’t have to buy a new one soon. A good way by doing this is to add a pillow cover or a pillow case. When buying protection for your pillow, be sure it’s the same size as the pillow since you don’t want it to be too loose. Most body pillows don’t have any luxurious fabric so it’s a good idea to slip a pillow case over the pillow so it will be softer and therefore be more comfortably. These cases and covers can be washed, this is a great benefit as you don’t have to wash the whole pillow. This will save you money in the long run. It’s advised to wash your pillow case about once a month. And definitely when it begins to smell although every self respecting person will probably never get to that point.
