Among the best body pillows, Coop demonstrates how an adjustable memory foam design can transform and customize your comfort with the Coop Sleep Goods Original Body Pillow. Coop Sleep Goods Memory Foam Body Pillow The Coop Sleep Goods Body Pillow is soft, supportive, and perfect for any body type. I found that the shredded memory foam did an excellent job of breathing and not trapping heat, a common problem with solid memory foam. AdvertisementThe bottom lineDespite these concerns, I really like the Coop Sleep Goods Body Pillow. Though one person's favorite pillow may be horrible for others, I strongly recommend that all side sleepers give the Coop Sleep Goods body pillow a try.

CNN —Flame retardants added for decades to thousands of consumer products in the United States may raise the risk of dying from cancer, according to new research. “The new study links PBDEs to deaths from cancer, building a case for the association between flame retardants and cancer mortality being real,” said Trasande, who researches the impact of plastics, flame retardants and other chemicals on children. Flame retardant chemicals also can pass to developing fetuses via the placenta and to newborns through breast milk, past research has found. In some cases, the industry has replaced these chemicals with newer phosphorus-based flame retardants, Trasande said, adding that researchers are now concerned these chemicals may be linked to cancer as well. When reupholstering older couches or chairs, be sure to replace the old foam with flame retardant-free foam.
