Ultra Comfort Pregnancy Pillow, U Shaped Full Body Maternity Support

By the third trimester the problem is not falling asleep, it is staying asleep. You settle on your side, your top leg slides forward, your hips twist, your lower back starts to ache, and forty minutes later you are awake in the dark stacking ordinary pillows again.

This holds the whole position for you in one piece. The U runs from behind your head, down your spine, around your bump and between your knees, so your head, back, belly, hips and knees are supported at the same time. Turn over and it is already there on the other side.

What it does for you

• Takes the weight off your lower back. The inside curve carries your bump instead of letting it hang forward and drag on your lumbar spine, which is where most third trimester back ache comes from.
• Keeps your hips square. With nothing between your knees the top leg drops forward and rotates your pelvis all night. The lower arm holds both legs level and takes that twist out, which is what eases the hip and pelvic pain that builds up on one side.
• Relieves pressure along the sciatic path. Holding your spine, pelvis and knees in one straight line stops the compression through the lower back and buttock that sends the ache and the pins and needles down your leg.
• Makes side sleeping comfortable enough to stay in. Doctors and midwives recommend sleeping on your side from the second trimester onward. The outer arm stops you rolling onto your back in the night without you having to think about it.
• Eases heartburn at night. Prop your upper body higher on one arm of the U while everything else stays supported, so you are not choosing between your reflux and your hips.
• Fewer times awake. You are not rebuilding a pile of pillows every time you turn over, so the stretches between waking get longer.

Built so it does not go flat

57 x 28 inches with a 9 inch loft, against the 53 x 25 and 7 inch loft most sellers ship. The fill is high grade 7D PP hollow fiber at high density, which springs back every morning rather than packing down into a pancake by week three. The velvet outer cover is hypoallergenic, unzips with double zippers and goes straight in the machine, and a separate breathable inner shell keeps the filling contained. Open the shell and take fill out if you want it softer.
