Craving a Good Night’s Sleep? These Pregnancy Pillows Have You Covered

C-shaped pregnancy pillows are an incredibly popular option (this one alone has 38,000+ five-star reviews on Amazon!). The contoured shape is especially comfortable for plus-size bodies. This C-shape pillow comes v highly rated by parents and pillow-enthusiasts alike. With a jersey cotton cover, aka the fabric your fave t-shirt is made from, what's not to love?

Glowing review: I'm a big woman, almost 6 ft tall and about a size 20/22 currently. 10/10 would buy this again. It was a lifesaver during pregnancy and it's been even more amazing postpartum...And honestly I don't think I'd be surviving my recovery from an emergency C-section without it. I cuddle with this thing more than I cuddle with my fiancé. You should definitely get it. It's my favorite thing. Other than my cute little boy. Close second, though.  

Not many pregnancy pillows look like something you would find in the bedding section of West Elm. But you don’t have to choose between style and comfort just because you are pregnant. The bbhugme Pregnancy Pillow is cute enough to not hide in your closet and the fabric also has the comfort of your favorite, perfectly worn- in sweatpants. 

Glowing review: I love how it looks, feels and works. I love that it's now part of my "pretty" bed pillows and you can't even tell it's a pregnancy pillow. I won't have to stuff it under my bed after I have my baby. I use it for everything, lounging to watching a movie. I also love how cool it stays. This pillow does not make me hot. I would definitely recommend because it's not bulky but works. I'm excited to try using it for breastfeeding too.

There is a good chance this is your favorite position, as in, sleeping position. Side sleeping comes with some new challenges once your bump starts to grow, thanks to added weight to your back and hips. If you're a side sleeper in need of some sweet relief, then this pregnancy pillow by Boppy was literally made for you.

Glowing review: I've always been a side sleeper with back problems. Now that I'm pregnant I keep waking up throughout the night as I would roll onto my back. Since I got this pillow, even if I do roll onto my back it keeps me mostly tilted to the side and reduces the discomfort, making it possible to sleep more peacefully. I love that it's not bulky and I get just enough support without it putting too much pressure on my back.

There is a pregnancy pillow for just about every letter of the alphabet. And tbh, knowing which one is for you can be super overwhelming (more on that in the FAQ section below!). But the relief from this U-shaped maternity pillow might be just what you need. It has both full body support and a memory foam interior, so essentially it's wrapping you up in a cocoon of comfort.

Glowing review: I was struggling to get a good nights sleep in my second trimester. The tossing and turning would make me be wide awake at 1am every day and I hated it. I used to sleep with a basic king sized cotton pillow to hug and put between my legs, but it was a hassle to flip to each side. I specifically looked for a large U-shaped pillow that was filled with memory foam and this one is perfect! I have had a solid 8 hours of sleep every single night since I have gotten this pillow, it is perfect for turning side to side.

With over 50,000 Amazon reviews, there is clearly a reason why this pregnancy pillow is a bestseller. Scroll through the seemingly endless five-star reviews from well-rested pregnant (and non-pregnant!) customers and you will quickly see just what all the hype is about. Better quality of sleep, pain relief, improved circulation, and support while nursing are just a few of the reasons why this pillow holds the #1 spot on Amazon.

Glowing review: I can’t even imagine my life without this pillow. I bought it because I’m a few months along and I can’t fall asleep or stay asleep. Since getting this bad boy home I haven’t had an issue with either (except it’s much harder to get out of bed when I have to pee now). It supports my hips, my low back, and the middle of my back in ways that even my expensive chiropractic pillow can’t. Even when I’m not pregnant anymore I can’t imagine not using this. I made my boyfriend try it and he was even impressed. Im going to order him one just because he thought it was so comfortable 😂 …please do yourself the favor and bring this home and watch your quality of sleep change forever.

Your tummy and back aren’t the only places that may need support while pregnant. If you are waking up in the morning feeling like you’ve rode for miles on your Peloton that now doubles as a coat rack (we love a pandemic purchase), then you might just be in the market for a knee pillow. Although it's useful for all bodies, many expecting parents have attributed sleeping like a baby while growing a baby to this pillow.

Glowing review: This has helped immensely with hip pain I acquired during my pregnancies. I can use it for one leg or between my legs. Either way, it helps relieve pain I used to get at night.

This pillow will be with you for a good time and a long time, from the very beginning of your pregnancy journey all the way through postpartum. This pillow is like the 3-in-1 shampoo of pregnancy pillows: providing added comfort for your ever-changing pregnancy bod, supporting baby during feeding time (and giving your arms a much-needed break)

Glowing review: I bought this pillow before my little one was born. I held myself back with my first but decided I wouldn't with this pregnancy. It was a life saver for my back and tummy when I couldn't get comfortable. Nursing with this pillow is just amazing. It frees both of my hands when I'm nursing and comfy for her when she dozes off. After my C-section I had severe swelling, this pillow was perfect to elevate my legs…Would definitely suggest this pillow.

Sleeping isn’t the only time you might be calling on your trusty pregnancy pillow. Relaxing on the couch while tearing up at a Hallmark movie (thanks, hormones!), working from home on your laptop, or lounging while reading one of the many parenting books that people tell you are necessary are all ideal times to put that pillow to use. This maternity pillow has you and your bump covered for day and night support.

Glowing review: I started using this on the couch for watching TV but staying off my back, and I absolutely love it. It provides the perfect shape and support for lounging on your side comfortably. While I know its suggested for sleeping use, I highly recommend for couch or lounging use.

Your S.O. might be a teensy bit jealous when you start trading nightly snuggles with them for your Snoogle. Countless reviewers attribute this pillow to relationship problems because it is THAT comfy, thanks to its 60 inches of total-body support without increasing your body heat like your partner. Just make sure you reassure your partner that a pillow could never replace them (but this one might have you actually considering it).

Glowing review: I got this pillow for my wife, because she is pregnant and was having issues sleeping. She is now sleeping better than ever before, and she plans on using it after the baby is born. This pillow has also humbled me greatly. The morning after her first use, when I said goodbye and I love you at 5 am when I left for work, she responded with "I love Snoogle." That's all she said before falling deep into a Snoogle coma.

The “H” in this H-shape pregnancy pillow should stand for “How the hell did I live without this,” because it is just *that* comfy. Although it might not be as popular as the U or C-shape, its unique design could be what gets you through the next nine months. With a convenient adjustable mid-piece, you can change up the pillow’s configuration based on where you need a little extra support. It is literally like a big, cozy hug for your cute preggo self.

Glowing review: I'm currently 10 weeks into my second pregnancy and haven't been able to get comfortable for weeks. This pillow is comfortable, soft and provides support from all angles. I like how I can adjust the middle pillow to fit whichever position my stubborn pregnant body demands.

You will be sleeping like absolute royalty with this Queen Rose maternity pillow. Draped in a super soft velvet cover (how fahncy), this supportive U-shape pillow is made to pamper you by propping you up in a variety of different positions. Bc you know what? You're bringing life into this world and deserve to be treated like a damn queen. All you are missing now is a multi-million dollar palace and a slew of Corgis to follow you around.

Glowing review: I've had this brand of pillow for a few years now, ever since I was pregnant with my second child. It worked absolutely perfectly while I was pregnant, and even better when I was recovering from a C-section! It gives a good amount of support, without being too bulky. The new pillow that I just ordered has the velvet case on it. I wasn't sure if I would like it, but I absolutely love it.
