Abstract
A body pillow has an elongate body formed around an axis. An outer cover of the pillow includes a stretchy circumferential band of material disposed around the axis and to be spaced from either end of the pillow. Ends of first and second inner pillows are disposed near or under the circumferential band. The user may helically twist the body of the pillow around the axis at the circumferential band. Doing so separates the inner pillows and increases their firmness. An inner side of the outer cover may be made of a stretchy fabric that conforms to the body of the user, while outer side may be composed mostly of nonstretch material to retain the pillows' shape. The twisted and nontwisted configurations of the pillow make it an effective sleeping aid for expecting mothers during different stages of their pregnancies.
