You’ll never realize how important a body pillow is and of course, the body pillow cover or the body pillow cases until you experience being pregnant. With constant trips to the bathroom, back pains and a burgeoning belly, pregnant women would think that getting a good night’s sleep is an almost impossible dream. It’s hard enough to find a comfortable position and when you finally do, the baby will wake you up with a few well-placed kicks.
Sleeping problems can start as early as the first trimester, when the growing uterus begins to put pressure on the bladder. And as the baby starts to grow, women find it more difficult to get comfortable in bed, what with all the extra weight and the mandatory sleeping on the left side.
While it is true that most pregnant women develop sleeping problems, it is not impossible to get a good night’s sleep. Manufacturers have created body pillows and body pillow covers to suit the sleeping needs 
Since you’d be spending most of your time snuggled up with your soft bed buddy, it is important to find that perfect body pillow cover to protect it from dirt and dust. While scouring Bed Bath and Beyond for the perfect pillow case may be good exercise, women in their second or third trimester of pregnancy might find the Internet a better avenue for shopping.
As easy as online shopping may seem, there are still important things that you should remember when buying body pillow cases:
1.Fabric – Just like anything that you place on your bed, the higher the thread count, the better. This ensures that you’d be comfortable having your face buried in the pillow for hours on end. Choose one that is made of light, breathable material. Also, look for designs that have hidden zippers or closures so it doesn’t accidentally rub on your skin.
2.Size – Some body pillow cases are a tad too big for your own buddy. Make sure to check the dimensions of your pillow and compare it with that of the pillow cover. Also, some pillows have weird shapes and it may be extremely difficult to find just the right body pillow cover. This is why buying from the same manufacturer is a good way to make sure that you will get the right size and shape for your body pillow.
3.Easy care – You don’t want to get a body pillow cover that shrinks after a stint in the washing machine. Be sure to check the care instructions to see it is machine washable. A no-brainer you might think but it’s always smarter to pay attention.
It is also good to note that not only pregnant women benefit from body pillows and body pillow cases. Body pillows come in different sizes and designs for different users. A long rectangular body pillow requires a regular case, which is the most common type in the market. Smaller body pillows for kids require smaller body cases that protect it from dust, dirt and sweat.
