The Pregnancy Pillow

A pregnancy pillow is a special cushion specifically designed to support the back, hips, shoulders, head, legs, and, of course, the growing belly of expecting mothers. Most pregnant women will begin to use one to sleep more comfortably in their second and third trimesters.

There are several types of pregnancy pillows, including U-shaped, C-shaped, J-shaped, and wedges. These differ in size, shape, material, and support.

- U-shaped pillows support your entire body including the back, belly, hips, head, and neck.
- J- and C-shaped pillows can support your front or back but not both at once.
- A wedge pillow offers targeted support to your belly, back, or knees.

There are several things you should take into consideration when shopping for a pregnancy pillow.

- Specific physical concerns: First you want to think about what you need the pillow for: Are you experiencing back pain, do you need belly support, or both? Choose a pillow made to give you the comfort you need.

- Materials: You’ll also want to look at the materials the pregnancy pillow is made out of. Opt for natural materials that offer better breathability so you don’t overheat.

- Bed space: Of course, pregnancy pillows that do more take up more space in the bed.

Pregnancy pillows offer needed relief for the aches and pains of pregnancy. They promote spinal alignment, alleviate pressure points, help with circulation, and prevent you from rolling on your back.

If you’re a belly sleeper, using a pregnancy pillow will help you easily transition to side sleeping without putting extra pressure on your hips and shoulders.

Our Pregnancy Pillow is larger and more flexible than most other pillows. The 55-inch by 31-inch pillow can be transformed from a full U-shaped pillow into a J-shaped or C-shaped pillow by detaching one arm, allowing you to use it in several different ways.

Our pillow is also filled more than other pillows on the market, giving more support for your changing body. And if you’re a hot sleeper, don’t worry. The surface of the removable cover is breathable, ultra-plush cotton so you won’t overheat.

Additionally, because our pillow is made of memory foam and a fiber cluster blend, it provides support without losing shape. The fabrics and fill of our pillow are also Oeko-Tex Standard 100-certified, so you can trust in the quality and safety of the pillow.

Taking care of your Newton Pregnancy Pillow is easy! Simply remove the outer cover and machine wash using cold water and non-chlorine bleach or detergent, and then tumble dry on a low setting.

As for the pillow insert, spot-clean it with a mild detergent, and then air dry away from sunlight and heat.

Of course! Although it’s called a pregnancy pillow, it can be used well beyond the nine months you have a bun in the oven. Many will continue to use it as a sleep aid, while others repurpose it as a nursing pillow.
