The Best Pregnancy Pillow For Side Sleepers

When choosing the ideal pregnancy pillow, various aspects must be considered: size, shape, fabric and filling material. A high-quality pregnancy pillow will offer support to different parts of your body to create an ergonomic sleeping position for optimal restful slumbaer.

We love the bbhugme pregnancy pillow, as it promotes optimal sleeping posture during gestation (lying on one’s left side with knees bent). Available with cooling synthetic fabric or jersey cotton covers.

U-Shape

One of the top pregnancy body pillows we tested, this U-shaped design by ob-gyns was specifically created to ensure safe and restful sleep for pregnant moms. You can position this pillow to support various parts of your head, neck, back, hips, legs or other parts while sleeping – plus it’s easily cleanable after delivery – plus can even double up as nursing pillow after baby comes!

Pregnant people require additional support when it comes to sleeping comfortably during pregnancy, yet not everyone requires full-body pillows that occupy an entire bed. That’s where slimmer, bolster-style wedge pillows come in. They can help support neck, back, belly, hips without taking over space shared between partners. Tests showed shorter U-shaped options work just as effectively while longer leg models like our competition don’t feature ankle support either! This option also features stretchy covers you can remove and wash easily for quick maintenance as well as longer legs that curve around for ankle support – something other options don’t offer!

C-Shape

Pregnancy pillows come in all shapes, sizes and materials imaginable. When selecting your pregnancy body pillow, think carefully about where your discomfort stems from and choose one specifically tailored to those issues – for instance if back pain keeps you up at night, having one designed specifically to aid sleeping on your side might provide relief and promote alignment during sleep.

Similarly, if hip and back pain is the issue, a C-shaped pregnancy pillow can provide targeted support. With its distinctive “C” shape, you can rest your bump against its top curve while tucking its bottom section between legs for optimal hip alignment.

Alternately, you can wrap this pregnancy pillow around yourself while sitting to create a gentle incline that helps relieve heartburn and decrease swelling by improving circulation. Furthermore, its care is easy since this pregnancy pillow can be machine washed.

Wedge

Wedge pregnancy pillows provide smaller support from head-to-toe than full body pregnancy pillows and may be easier for you to carry or place in bed if sharing a room with someone. Also, these wedge pillows take up less space on your bed – ideal if sharing space is an issue in your relationship or parenting journey.

This maternity body pillow boasts a slope design to accommodate pregnant moms’ bodies and ensure they sleep soundly throughout the night. It holds its shape well, quickly rebounding back into place after each use and never collapses, making it suitable for use both at home or while traveling. Plus, its lightweight construction and breathable nature allows it to be washed easily to remove milk/water stains!

The wedge pillow can also be used after giving birth, to aid with acid reflux prevention and breathing by supporting your upper body in a reclined position. Additionally, this pillow offers medium-firm comfort – great for anyone suffering from back pain or sciatica, recovering from surgery or recovering from injury. Available in various sizes to meet the needs of pregnancy.

Convertible

This pregnancy pillow provides the best of both worlds: providing side sleepers with a cozy pregnancy pillow that doubles up as an effective breastfeeding support pillow after baby is born. With its mouldable hollowfibre filling that conforms to body contours for sink-in comfort and hip and spinal alignment for reduced back pain.

Its zipper-off, detachable section easily transforms this pregnancy pillow into an ultra-comfortable nursing cushion, while the remaining portion provides a cocoon-like experience to soothe your bump and promote sounder slumber. Plus, its high density clusters of soft clusters offer comfortable cushioning without disturbing sleep when shifting positions during the night!

A pregnancy pillow’s unique design encourages side sleeping, which is recommended by ob-gyns in order to lower the risk of late-term stillbirth. While similar effects can be achieved using multiple regular pillows, their stability may require more fluffing. A good pregnancy pillow can make bedtime feel like an Iyengar yoga session!
