“This pillow was a life saver all throughout my pregnancy. Lightweight, small and easy to use, it provided me with so much support for my growing belly and ensured I was sleeping in a safe position for me and baby.

This body pillow was developed by a registered nurse and mother, specifically for use during pregnancy. It provides comfort and much-needed support, and it’s design also reduces body heat. It comes with a machine washable cover and contains a polyester filling.

What do reviewers say?

“Around 20 weeks of pregnancy, I decided to jump in and give this a try and I’m so glad I did! From day one I have had no back pain upon waking up,” one review said.

“This pillow is amazing. I bought it when I was 3 months pregnant. Sometimes I sleep with it in the front and sometimes in the back. It’s extremely comfortable and supportive either way. I like it better than a regular body pillow because it doesn’t wiggle away from you during the night,” another Snoogle fan revealed.

5. PharMeDoc Pregnancy Pillow

This pillow has a c-shaped design to support the back, hips, knees and neck. Its adjustable polyfill material is designed to adapt to your body and maximise support and comfort. It comes with a cotton jersey pillow cover and is available in a bunch of colours.

What do reviewers say?

“So far, this purchase has been my single greatest move as the husband of a pregnant wife,” one gent posted on Amazon.

“I am currently 24 weeks pregnant and wish I would have purchased this earlier,” one mum-to-be wrote. “I have been having bad issues with my lower back and left leg sciatica pain and numbness since pretty early on in pregnancy. I found myself always falling asleep on my side and waking on my back, in pain. This pillow is a game changer! Because of the shape, I can wrap it in such a way that how I fall asleep is how I wake up and I’m still comfortable. I haven’t had leg pain since using this pillow.”
