Moms top 10 pregnancy pillows

What are the 10 best pregnancy pillows? More and more mothers use them and although some are skeptical at first about their usefulness, then they can no longer do without them.

Pregnancy is a journey that can be studded with various obstacles and some more or less important difficulties.

One of the most frequent problems is not being able to sleep well or adequately during the night.

In fact, it can be particularly difficult to find the right position when the belly grows. It may not always be natural to sleep on the left side ( recommended following the studies conducted on the benefits of this position )

A pregnancy pillow not only helps you sleep on the right side, it also allows you to sleep better.

The pillows are in fact designed to ease pressure points in a pregnant woman’s body, lift the hips if she sleeps with the pillow between her thighs, and support the neck and stomach when the woman is positioned on her side.

There are many pregnancy pillows on the market, you can find them in specialized shops but they are also easily available online.

What are the most popular pillows for mothers?

Based on the experiences of mothers who have used them, there are three forms of pillows that help you rest better at night:

• C-shaped pillows : These are designed to support the hips, back, neck and stomach.
• U-shaped pillows : they enclose the entire body, so they are particularly useful if the woman likes to switch sides at night, with the only drawback that you could literally knock your partner out of bed, as they are quite large and bulky.
• multifunctional pillows : they can be used for sleeping, or for breastfeeding

Which of the three to choose? There is no right or wrong answer, it really depends on how the woman sleeps, the choice is very subjective.

to give you some ideas, let’s see which are the 10 favorites of mothers.

1. Cuscino total Body Leachco Snoogle chic 

It is one of the most appreciated pillows by mothers all over the world. Leachco is the brand specialized in the creation and design of maternity pillows.

Unlike other pillows that are filled with tiny gel beads, Snoogle is stuffed like a regular pillow

This support is also very useful for pregnant women suffering from symphysis pubis dysfunction and pelvic pain.

The small size also allows the partner to continue sleeping in the bed!

If you have a friend in the United States who can get it for you, it’s there for about $60 to which you have to add another $27 for the pillowcase.

As for the pillowcase, the latest update of this pillow is the “Supreme” version which includes a jersey pillowcase instead of the cotton one which for some may not be very soft.

2. Normal Chicco Boppy Total Body pillow

Also among the C-shaped pillows we find another best seller much appreciated by mothers. This is the Chicco Boppy Total Body .

No words are needed to present the Chicco brand, well known by mothers all over the world. Boppy is perhaps less known than its smaller “brother” dedicated to breastfeeding , even if it is really much appreciated by those who bought it. Both for the convenience of use (it can be washed entirely in the washing machine), for the small size and for the support it offers during sleep. It’s designed to follow the curve of your baby bump, it’s quite soft in the middle where your tummy rests, but still provides the necessary support for a slight tummy lift. After pregnancy, this pillow can still be used for back support or to be folded and placed between the legs for extra sleeping comfort.

3. Chicco Boppy Total Body modular pillow with belly support

The Boppy for pregnancy is also offered in a more complex version which involves the use of several “modules” based on the needs of the woman, in order to obtain different configurations of use.

• Complete configuration: head, belly and legs
• Legs and abdomen configuration: supports the belly, knees and ankles
• Head and Abdomen Configuration: Supports the head, neck, shoulders and belly
• Back Configuration: Supports the back to encourage sideways sleep

4.Red Castle Big Flopsy Pregnancy Pillow

Cushion of the French brand Red Castle specialized in childcare products.

The fabric of this cushion is OEKO-TEX CLASS 100® certified.

It is an international textile label which guarantees the absence of harmful and irritating substances, as well as the absence of endocrine disruptors.

Big Flopsy ™, is suitable for both pregnancy and breastfeeding. Thanks to its large size (170cm) the Big Flopsy ™ offers support and relaxation in all positions.

The cotton pillowcase is removable and, like the cushion, machine washable at 30°.

5. PharMeDoc pregnancy pillow

If you like the shape of the Leachco but want to save money, a valid alternative is represented by the PharMeDoc pregnancy pillow .

The mothers who have used it have been really enthusiastic about it and would not change it for the world!

It is not easy to find it in Italy, it is not always available on Amazon and their shop does not ship to Italy.

6. Baby cuscino gravidanza

Another brand specializing in pregnancy pillows and the like is the British Sanggol.

If you prefer C-shaped cushions (less bulky than U-shaped ones) this is a practical solution and, given the price, also economical.

Moms appreciate it because despite its small size compared to others designed for pregnancy, it still offers the necessary comfort and support, both during pregnancy and while breastfeeding.
Of excellent quality, it is made of hypoallergenic, skin-friendly, baby-safe and long-lasting materials.

7. Queen Rose U Shaped Pregnancy Pillow

It is probably one of the most popular pillows among pregnant women. It is especially appreciated in the third trimester of pregnancy when the belly becomes really bulky and the difficulty in finding the best position to sleep well increases.

The dimensions, as you can see in the photo, are definitely important but necessary for the complete support of the woman’s body. It helps support your back, tummy, hips, head, knees and feet.

The pillowcase is made of 100% cotton and therefore cool even in summer.

Useful for relieving pain and increasing comfort (during sleep) also for those suffering from fibromyalgia, sciatica, gastric reflux, carpal tunnel syndrome, … Queen Rose
is once again a US brand ( the Americans were the first to market pregnancy pillows), but this time their products are easily available, and at a decidedly affordable price, even on Amazon .

8. Koala Babycare® pregnancy pillow

moms are really enthusiastic about it. We talked about it at length here . The reviews on this product on Amazon are really good.

9. Merrymama Nursing and pregnancy pillow in organic spelled husk

If you are looking for a pregnancy pillow that can be very useful during breastfeeding and has the most natural composition possible, the spelled husk pillow from Merrymama is the right one for you.

It turns out to be a valid purchase because, as a mother testifies:

“ relaxes my back during night sleep, can be used on the sofa to maintain a good position, helps during breastfeeding and I’m using it a lot to support my baby during play. ”

10. Babymoov maternity pillow  

The Babymoov pillow has the shape of an hourglass, and given its small size, it can be used as a support pillow during breastfeeding, between the legs as a pregnancy pillow, or to support the baby during a nap.
