- Shape: To determine the best pregnancy pillow shape for you, it’s important to think about what you need to get comfortable in bed with a growing belly. A U-shaped pregnancy pillow supports your worn-out back and offers a cushioned spot for your belly to rest, relieving the pain-causing stress, while a C-shaped pillow is designed for catching some zzz’s on your side, fitting between your legs to support your back, head, and neck. The pregnancy wedge is a smaller pillow that can fit just about anywhere to offer a boost of support. You can slide it under your lower back for sciatica relief, between your knees for hip comfort, or behind your back for easier sitting.
- Materials: The fabric and inner fill of a pregnancy pillow will have a huge impact on your comfort. For example, if it’s made out of a material that holds heat like memory foam, it may be great for cold sleepers, but would almost assuredly spell certain nightly doom for those who sleep hot. Also, for sniffly parents like some of us at Best Products — allergies are a big concern — you may want a down alternative or need a hypoallergenic cover, and there are fantastic options to help you get comfy.
- Washability: If you can’t buy additional covers for the pillow at a reasonable cost, then you should at least be able to chuck the whole thing in the washing machine. All of the choices in this guide are either washable or have a removable, washable cover.
- Price: Pillows of any kind can get downright expensive. Depending on materials, shape, and even marketing, you could be looking at pillows that cost $100 or more. We understand that might just not be in your budget. That’s why we’ve made sure to include pillows in this guide that are not only wallet-friendly but also wonderfully huggable.
