Side sleeper / hugging pillow sewn quickly by yourself

Some of you will already know these beautiful side sleeper cushions. They should relieve the spine and ensure a restful and pleasant sleep. Incidentally, in China they are called "hugs".

Unfortunately these have become increasingly expensive lately and I am also bothered by the rustling of the supposedly low-noise filling.

Some are stiff and find the appropriate reference is not so easy and inexpensive certainly not.


Sewing by myself is not really my thing and so I came up with the following idea:

Today I bought two covers (40 x 80) for a total of Euro 3,50 and sewed them together. In each case a pillow with the appropriate dimensions packed and ready.

I bought the pillows for Euro 4,50 each and now I have a wonderful side sleeper pillow with joint. So I can put my head on it and support my knees down. Rustling does nothing and washable anyway.

Again, an advantage, because the homemade is "dismountable" and fits so much better in a washing machine.
