A plush, human-shaped body pillow designed to simulate the presence of a partner, provides individuals with a sense of comfort and security. Typically featuring an arm that wraps around the user, it offers a cuddly alternative for those who sleep alone or desire additional support. One can find it made of materials ranging from cotton to memory foam.
The rise in popularity of such items can be attributed to several factors, including changing social dynamics and an increasing emphasis on self-care. The physical comfort provided can contribute to improved sleep quality and reduced feelings of loneliness. Historically, such products represent a modern adaptation of earlier comfort objects. These objects are a means of addressing emotional and physical needs in the absence of human companionship.
