Having the best pregnancy pillow is a God-send if you find yourself pregnant and uncomfortable while sleeping. If you have aching joints, neck or back pain after a nights sleep, it's very likely that you need to get a body pillow. Maternity pillows and cushions are especially made for expecting moms to make them more comfortable when lying down, nursing their baby or sleeping. If you're anything like me when you're pregnant, you've probably tried to use a whole bunch of normal pillows tucked under your back, legs and tummy to try and get comfortable. With a full body pillow you don't have to do that anymore, and the best maternity pillows available are body length and usually do this by having you lie alongside them, holding or cuddling the cushion while providing support for your tummy, back and legs too. There are quite a few different pregnancy, nursing and body pillows that come in various shapes and sizes so it’s important to buy a maternity pillow that suits you.

We find it also takes up arguably less space than many of the other larger maternity pillows, and has a removable cover making it easy to clean. The cover itself of contains a 1cm thick memory foam for extra comfort and shredded memory foam inside that. Definitely one of the best firm pillows we've used. Initially when you get it, the pillow comes compressed in a smaller container so you'll need to give it a few hours to expand to it's full size. Because the pillow contains a layer of memory foam in the cover, there's also an initial memory foam smell but this goes away after a day or so. The pillow is fairly thick and quite full, and the contents are packed fairly tight so it retains it's shape well and theres no lumpiness. Lying with the cushion between your legs does a great job to relive the pressure on your lower back and body, and give you that extra comfort you need.

Pregnancy can be a difficult time, especially as an expectant mom gets closer to the birth date of their child. You're often bloated and uncomfortable because of the extra strain put on your body by the weight of your ever increasing belly. This puts enormous strain on your body, especially your back, neck, shoulders and legs and makes sleeping very uncomfortable as you toss and turn through the night to shift your body weight into a position to relieve tension. Maternity and body pillows are made to help take that extra pressure while sleeping during pregnancy off your body, and alleviate the pain. When selecting a pregnancy cushion it's important to look for one that: Is made from quality materials with proper stuffing Is firm and will hold your weight (it needs to keep your tummy off the mattress/floor) Preferably has a washable cover (for easy cleaning) Supports both you tummy and legs U-shaped, often better for since they support your entire body See more Pregnancy pillows on Amazon
