8 Pregnancy Pillows Moms-to-Be Swear by For Better Sleep

Boppy Pregnancy Pillow Wedge ($20, originally $25)

OK, so this isn't technically a full-body pregnancy pillow — it's a wedge. But leaving it out would be doing you a disservice since so many people love it. The Boppy Pregnancy Wedge is made from firm foam with an angled design that gives you targeted support exactly where you need it. Thousands of people have sworn by it during and after pregnancy, whether you place it under your belly for extra bump support, behind your back to relieve pressure, between your knees to improve alignment, or for extra support while breastfeeding. Bonus: Its compact size makes it super easy to travel with and the slipcover is machine-washable for easy cleaning.

Momcozy Pregnancy Pillows for Side Sleeping ($34, originally $36)

If you're sharing a bed and worried that a giant U-shaped pillow might send your partner rolling off the edge, this popular J-shaped option could be the perfect fit (literally). While it doesn't offer much back support, it's ideal for natural side sleepers who want a little extra support for the head, neck, and belly, plus the proper alignment to keep aches and pains at bay.

Pharmedoc Pregnancy Pillow ($50, originally $70)

This maternity pillow is one of the most popular of Amazon's offerings. Its U-shape provides full-body support, cradling your head, neck, back, belly, and knees all at once. You can flip around at night without needing to readjust the pillow, making it a smart investment for restless sleepers. Though it's the largest option on our list, it's undeniably popular, boasting over 83,000 five-star ratings. As one reviewer raved, "I was getting to a point in my pregnancy where I wanted to cry and dreaded going to sleep. This has completely changed that. I honestly can't wait til I get home so I can sleep!"

Frida Mom Cooling Pregnancy Pillow ($54)

If you tend to get hot and sweaty at night, consider your perfect pregnancy pillow found. It's filled with microbeads that make it possible for air to circulate much more freely than traditional materials like memory foam or polyester stuffing. Plus, it's fully adjustable, meaning you can twist it into a J-, C-, or U-shape, depending on your needs as your belly grows.

Casaluna Memory Foam and Down Alternative Pregnancy C-Shaped Body Pillow ($70)

Next up in the pregnancy pillow alphabet is the best C-shaped option: this top-rated favorite is from Target's Casaluna brand. It gives you balanced support by cradling both the front and back of your body, unlike a J-shaped pillow, which only supports the front. This one's made with firm-yet-supportive memory foam and has a nearly perfect five-star rating on Target's website. As one shopper who gave it five stars said, "The balance of comfort and softness make for the best sleep you may have ever had in your whole life!!"

Newton Baby New and Improved Premium Pregnancy Maternity Pillow ($90)

As this article shows, many people opt for non-organic pregnancy pillows, but if you're someone who's eco-conscious, deals with sensitive skin or allergies, or wants to avoid chemical exposure, Newton Baby is a top pick of ours (and countless others). It's made from breathable organic cotton and supportive memory foam, has a detachable extension that zips off to switch between a J- or C-shape, and comes with a removable cover that you can throw in the wash.

Bearaby Soothing Body Pillow ($199)

We've crowned this body pillow the most versatile for a reason: it truly lives up to the title. While it's an investment, it's one that lasts because it's not just a pregnancy pillow. Side sleepers and anyone with joint pain swear by it, too. Our favorite feature is that it ties into a chic knot design that doubles as home decor, so you don't have to deal with a bulky pillow on your bed or scramble to find storage space. One Amazon reviewer who gave it five stars said, "When I'm not using it, I also knot it as shown on their website, and I've had so many of my friends comment on how gorgeous it looks on the couch."

bbhugme Adjustable Pregnancy Pillow ($209)

Though this pillow is more of an investment than other options on our list, it has some standout features that separate it from the pack. For starters, it's longer than other options on our list, which is ideal for tall folks or anyone who wants full-body support. You can twist it into different shapes (you know the drill), and it's a fan favorite for breastfeeding post-birth. It's filled with breathable microbeads, but the real game-changer, in our opinion, is its adjustable firmness (you can tweak it with the stoppers at the ends to make it firmer or softer). Oh! And it comes in pretty muted colors that won't detract from your home's design scheme.
