Meet the passionate team dedicated to helping Australians achieve better sleep through expert guidance and honest recommendations.
BodyPillow.au was born from a simple yet profound realisation: too many Australians were struggling with poor sleep quality, and the body pillow market was overwhelming with options but lacking in genuine, helpful guidance. Our founder, Sarah Mitchell, experienced this firsthand during her first pregnancy in 2019 when she spent countless hours researching pregnancy pillows, only to find most "review" sites were thinly-veiled sales pages with little real substance.
What started as a personal blog documenting Sarah's pillow testing journey quickly grew into something much larger. Fellow mums, side sleepers suffering from chronic back pain, and shift workers looking for better daytime sleep all began reaching out, asking for recommendations. It became clear that there was a genuine need for an Australian-focused resource that combined real testing experience with educational content about sleep health.
In 2021, we officially launched BodyPillow.au as a comprehensive resource for body pillow education and guidance. Unlike many affiliate sites that simply list products with generic descriptions, we committed to a different approach: creating genuinely helpful content first, and product recommendations second. Our team has personally tested dozens of body pillows in real Australian conditions—from the humid Brisbane summer to the chilly Melbourne winter—to understand how different materials and designs perform across our diverse climate.
Today, our small but dedicated team includes sleep enthusiasts, a registered physiotherapist who consults on our posture and alignment content, and parents who have lived through the sleep deprivation of pregnancy and newborn care. We understand that choosing a body pillow isn't just about finding something comfortable—it's about addressing specific needs like pregnancy support, chronic pain management, post-surgery recovery, or simply improving sleep quality for better overall health.
We're proud to have helped over 50,000 Australians navigate their body pillow purchases with confidence. But more importantly, we're proud of the educational content we've created—guides on sleep hygiene, articles about proper pillow care, and resources for pregnant women navigating sleep challenges. Whether you end up purchasing through our links or not, our goal is that you leave our site more informed than when you arrived.
Every recommendation is backed by hands-on testing and thorough research into materials, construction, and real user experiences.
We clearly disclose our affiliate relationships and never let commissions influence our recommendations. Your trust matters more than any sale.
Our content is specifically tailored for Australian consumers, considering local climate, shipping options, and Australian consumer rights.
We believe informed consumers make better decisions. That's why we invest heavily in educational content, not just product lists.
Our small team brings together diverse expertise in sleep health, product testing, and content creation. We're united by our passion for helping Australians sleep better.
Founder & Editor-in-Chief
Former journalist turned sleep advocate. Sarah founded BodyPillow.au after her own frustrating search for pregnancy pillow information. She oversees all content and product testing protocols.
Product Research Lead
With a background in materials science, James brings technical expertise to our pillow evaluations. He analyses fill materials, cover fabrics, and construction quality across all products we review.
Sleep Health Consultant
A registered physiotherapist specialising in sleep posture, Emma reviews our content for accuracy and contributes expert insights on spinal alignment and pain management.
We don't just read manufacturer specifications and rewrite them. Every body pillow we recommend has been through our rigorous testing process:
We believe in complete transparency about our business model. BodyPillow.au earns revenue through affiliate partnerships with retailers like Amazon Australia. When you click on a product link on our site and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you.
However, our editorial process is completely independent from our commercial relationships. Products are never ranked higher because of affiliate commissions, and we regularly recommend products even when we don't have an affiliate relationship with the seller. Our reputation depends on providing trustworthy recommendations, and we take that responsibility seriously.
