The best pregnancy pillows for support and comfort, tested

During pregnancy, hormonal changes, pelvic or back pain, stress, and frequent bathroom trips can make it difficult to fall and stay asleep. As the baby bump grows, general discomfort is inevitable. Pregnancy pillows aim to alleviate some of this discomfort by supporting key parts of the body, such as the growing baby bump, back, and hips. Many pillows are designed to encourage an optimal pregnancy sleeping position, which is recommended by the NHS on your side after 28 weeks. This is because research suggests a link between falling asleep on your back and an increased risk of stillbirth, although the overall risk is still very low. One mum-to-be tested 11 maternity pillows to find the best ones for a better night's sleep. The best overall pregnancy pillow is the Bbhugme pregnancy pillow, which costs £159. The best budget pregnancy pillow is the Dreamgenii pregnancy, support and feeding pillow, which costs £48.99. The Snüz SnuzCurve pregnancy support pillow is the best for leg support and costs £84.95. The Simba extra support body pillow is the best for temperature control and costs £109.
