Bolster pillows can also be used as accent pillows to add a pop of color to your space!

Read on to learn more about the inspiration behind the Cuddling, how to use a bolster pillow, and how we use the most sustainable materials around to create this satisfyingly squashy pillow.
Anywhere Cuddles, Anytime Calm
After hearing how much people like snuggling up with their Cuddler body pillows, we wanted to make a smaller, travel-sized version with the same satisfyingly squashy benefits.
Enter the Cuddling: a soft and supportive bolster pillow that you can bring with you wherever you go — even if that’s just from couch to bed at the end of a long day!
What is a bolster pillow?
A bolster pillow is a small pillow designed to help support and elevate different parts of the body. It can be placed under the knees while sleeping to alleviate lower back pain. Bolster pillows are also commonly used as armrests while working or as headrests while sitting down
The Cuddling can help support your knees, arms, head, or any part of your body that needs a little lift. You can pair it with one of our hand-knitted weighted blankets for a sounder night’s sleep, or add it to your yoga routine for deeper stretches!
Since the Cuddling measures 14” x 7.5”, it’s also just the right size for a travel pillow, whether you’re journeying by plane, train, or car. It’s light enough for easy transportation, but gently weighted to provide soothing, cuddleable calm.
How do you wash the Cuddling?
Since many other travel pillows are difficult to keep clean, we designed the Cuddling with a zip-off, machine washable cover. After your adventures, you can wash the Cuddling Cover cold with similar colors using mild detergent. Tumble dry and warm iron if required — and don’t use bleach!
A Cuddling to Call Home
While it makes a great travel companion, the Cuddling is also right at home in any room of the house! It’s designed to look and feel good, whether you keep it on your bed, couch, or desk chair
Thanks to its inner Melofoam™ and organic cotton base cover, the Cuddling is breathable and soft-to-the-touch. Additional cooling linen covers are available in six colors (Asteroid Grey, Moonstone Grey, Evening Rose, Glass Blue, Rosemary, and Magnolia), making the Cuddling the perfect bolster pillow for summer snuggles.
Is the Cuddling a soft or firm pillow?
The Cuddling is designed to provide soft support that doesn’t fall flat. It sits in a springy middle ground between soft and firm, gently cradling your head, neck, or back for ergonomic pressure relief without sinking.
How to Cuddle Up
Cuddle away the tension of the day! However you like your cuddles, the Cuddling is here to help. Here are a few of our favorite ways to use a bolster pillow:

Small Cuddles, Big Impact
Most bolster pillows that you’ll find in your average home goods store are made of synthetic materials like polyester or memory foam. These materials aren’t breathable and can be uncomfortable, but to make matters worse, they don’t biodegrade — so after they wear down, they end up polluting the environment.
At Bearaby, we’re working to change this by creating stylish, medically beneficial products that are good for people and the planet. We’re proud to say that our Cuddling is made entirely with plant-based, sustainable materials. It’s even completely biodegradable at end of use!
The Cuddling itself is made from our innovative GOLS-certified Melofoam™, which is an all-natural, satisfyingly squashy rubber foam made by tapping sap directly from organic hevea trees. The sap is collected in coconuts and gently steamed to produce a spongey, airy foam
Every Cuddling comes with a fresh white base cover made from 100% organic cotton. Additional Cuddling Covers are available in six soothing shades of organic Belgian flax linen.
Conclusion
When it comes to snuggling up, everyone has their own preferences. Our Cuddling is designed to help elevate your everyday comfort, so if you feel you need a little extra soothing support, it could be a good fit
Sleeping with the Cuddling under your knees can help your back stay comfortable through the night, while sleeping with it between your knees can help you align your spine when side sleeping. The Cuddling is also breathable, cooling, and completely organic for plant-based power naps all summer long.
