Pregnancy Pillows

A pregnancy pillow, also known as a maternity pillow, full body pillow or bump support pillow, is designed to make sleeping easier during pregnancy, when a growing bump makes it harder to find a comfortable position. Most midwives recommend sleeping on your side from the second trimester onwards, since lying flat on your back can put pressure on major blood vessels, and a pregnancy pillow is built specifically to support that position through the night. Our range covers three shapes: U shaped pillows wrap fully around the body for support on both sides, ideal for mums who switch sides through the night or share a bed; C shaped pillows offer similar belly and back support with a smaller footprint, suiting those who mainly favour one side; and wedge pillows are the most compact option, sitting under the bump or lower back to relieve localised pressure without taking up the whole bed. Many of these pillows continue to be useful after birth, doubling as a nursing and breastfeeding support that props baby at the right height during feeds. Mums dealing with back pain, hip pressure, restless legs or general bump discomfort from around 20 weeks onwards tend to benefit most, and a removable, machine washable cover is well worth checking for given how much daily use these pillows get.
