Looking to decorate your bed or sofa but need the perfect pillows? Similar in shape, body and lumbar pillows can be confused for one another however they both deliver completely different looks and styles. Take a look at the difference between the two and find out if they are the perfect addition to your home.

What  is a Body Pillow?

A body pillow is a long, narrow pillow that is typically the length of a person's body, designed to provide support and comfort while sleeping. It's larger than a standard pillow, often used to support various parts of the body such as the back, hips, knees, or neck, depending on the sleeping position. People often use body pillows for extra comfort or to alleviate pressure points during sleep.

What is a Lumbar Pillow?

A lumbar pillow is a cushion designed to support the lower back and promote proper spinal alignment. It is typically rectangular in shape and is used to relieve back strain and improve posture. Unlike body pillows, lumbar pillows are a bit shorter and taller than a traditional body pillow. Lumbar pillows are commonly placed on chairs, sofas, or beds to provide additional support while sitting or lying down. They are especially popular for office chairs, car seats, and bedding setups to enhance comfort.

Decorative with Other Shapes & Sizes

Pair your lumbar and body pillows with complimentary shapes and sizes for a balanced look. Euro pillows are very popular due to the versatile and classic square shape. Measuring 26” x 26”, euro pillows are a large square and often used together in a cluster for a stylish look.
