Pregnancy Pillows for Moms-to-Be

Straight Body Pillow

A straight-body pillow is a long, tube-shaped pillow. It helps support your body while you sleep by keeping your spine in a comfortable position. You can hug it or place it between your legs to reduce pressure on your back and joints.

Benefits of Using Pregnancy Pillows

There are many great benefits to using a pregnancy body pillow.

Improved sleep quality

Sleeping can be difficult in later pregnancy, especially when you feel discomfort throughout the night. A well-made pregnancy pillow will provide support for your body as it undergoes changes. This will not only allow you to feel comfortable all night long but also lead to better quality sleep.

Reduce discomfort

Common complaints like back pain and heartburn are inevitable as your belly grows. A pregnancy pillow can ease this by offering extra support where it's needed most. For instance, a full-body pillow can support your back and belly during the day and during the night. It will reduce strain on your spine and can prevent heartburn by keeping your body in an ideal position.

Promote better circulation

Sleeping on your side is generally better for your circulation. But, maintaining a healthy position throughout the night is easier said than done. A pregnancy pillow can help keep you in a side-sleeping position by reducing pressure on your back and hips.

How to Choose the Right Pillow for Pregnancy

The right pillow can vary from one person to another. But, there are a few things you can consider to help you choose the right pregnancy pillow.

Size is the first thing to take into account. A pillow that is too large will only overwhelm your sleeping area and take up too much space. On the other hand, a pillow that is too small may not offer adequate support for your body.

Choosing the right shape is also crucial, as different shapes support specific areas. C-shaped pillows, for instance, offer great back and belly support for side sleeping. If you're looking for more all-around support, a U-shaped is likely to be the best choice.

Last but not least is the filling material. For something firmer, opt for materials that mould to your body like memory foam. If you're into something softer, microbead materials are great!
