People who use body pillows, can you sleep without them?

Poll question: People who use body pillows, can you sleep without them?

My husband is ticked that I want to take mine with us camping, but I told him I need it for my back. His response, "I hate people who think they need things they don't really need."

What, like I don't know how my back feels when I sleep without it?!

Some days being married to an unfeeling freeper really chaps my bum.

1. I'm sorry to hear your husbands a freeper

but if you need it you need it.

2. No choice for leaving the husband at home and taking the pillow?

3. I find acceptable substitutes where possible

I use a body-pillow most of the time, but it is quite large and impractical for travel. So I've gotten used to simply requesting an extra bed pillow to tuck between my knees. Once, when I checked in late, I just used a bath-towel.

5. I have made due with a regular pillow but my back still goes out... I

think that it was just too small and I rolled off of it during the night or somthing.

8. If your back goes out for lack of it, then it sounds like necessity

...not luxury.

4. I can't live without my pillows

I don't have a body pillow but I sleep with four standard ones and I can't sleep unless there's tons of pillows.:hi:

6. That would make me mad

What's the big deal about taking it camping, anyway?

I don't like to sleep without mine, either. I started using one when I was pregnant and got used to it, so I still use one.

7. That is exactly how I got hooked on them too! :^D 8 years of sleeping

with one. I can't go without any more. Gone are the days of sleeping flat on my stomach and being able to walk the next day.

9. Have You Tried a Good Air Mattress?

Some of those are really comfortable.

Some freepers make pretty good pillows. Sleep on top of him!

10. We use an air mattress when we camp but I have found I still need to

prop up my hips to keep my back from swaying too much while I sleep :)

12. Your husband is a freeper???

God, I'm so sorry.

No advice on the body pillow. Except take it anyway.
