Pregnant people need their sleep, but it’s hard to come by when you’ve got a big ol’ bump growing from your midsection.
It’s difficult to get a good night's sleep while pregnant. You can’t sleep on your stomach, and after 20 weeks, you’re also not allowed to sleep on your back. And as a further nuisance, it’s preferred that you sleep on your left side only, to help with blood flow. All these rules get slightly easier with the extra support of the right pillow. I spent my first pregnancy sticking random throw pillows underneath my growing bump, so I was thrilled to look into all types of pregnancy pillows in the last—and most uncomfortable—stage of this pregnancy. In my experience, the comfiest, and most supportive pregnancy-shaped pillow was the Queen Rose U-Shape Full Body Pillow (available at Amazon) .
The Queen Rose pregnancy pillow is our pick for Best Overall.
The Boppy Side Sleeper pillow is easy to tote around the house.
Especially comfortable
Perfect for bedtime
None that we could find
Great firmness and feel
Appealing shape
Easy to lose while asleep
Full-body pregnancy pillows can make you feel cozy and supported but they will most definitely feel like having a whole other person in bed. If you share your bed with a partner, know that a full-body pillow with a big shape and size will be an instant barrier between you and them. But hey, maybe this is a plus!
I’m perpetually cold. However, there are plenty of people on the opposite side of that spectrum, especially when growing another human being. Full-body pillows will up the heat under the covers, and not in a metaphorical way.
Some people are natural side sleepers so the pregnancy may only affect one portion of their body. In that case, a total body pillow may be unnecessary. A smaller model would target the areas you specifically need without taking up space on the bed. Back and stomach sleepers, who are having to make a huge adjustment, will probably appreciate the support that a full-body pillow provides.
