I'm looking to buy a pregnancy pillow and there seems to be so many different styles out there! Any recommendations??

Hi OP. I've got this one and it's a god send!
Only down fall with this one is when you need to move as it's a bit awkward, but if you don't move much then you'll be fine!
I'm 21 weeks now and I've had it for the last few weeks and I've never slept so well! 🥰

@lockdownpregnancy Does it make you hot at night? I'm concerned that I'm going to be using it over the summer and some of the bigger ones look like they'd make you overheat!

I bought a 9 foot straight one which is good as you can arrange it how you like - if your back's getting hot you can just push it out of the way! But it's soft enough to easily bend into a u-shape or whatever you like.
Means turning over etc is pretty easy too. The only downside with mine is that it has a polyester cover so I'm going to make a cotton one to use with it once it gets really hot. It was super cheap though (about a tenner on Ebay) so I'm not complaining!

This one was recommended to me on here when I asked a couple of weeks ago and I really love it. It is super soft and big enough, but not too big that it takes up all the space in the bed. I really like it and so pleased I got it

I just got a long straight one from argos. I loooove it.

@raindrop84 pregnancy has made me freakishly hot anyway so I just sleep with that pillow and a very thin sheet instead of a duvet.
I've now dug my fab out too as I can't cope with the heat! I don't think it's down to the pillow as I've been getting really hot in bed since before I bought it

I really like my bbhugme one, it was expensive but it’s very versatile.

Slumber down body pillow £15 Asda. It’s as long as the width of my king sized bed!

Dreamgenii has been my lifesaver. It doesnt take over the entire bedroom, and you can tuck the long side inbetween your legs no matter which side you lay. It's so comfy and supportive!

@BeautyAndTheBump1 I've heard good things about the Dreamgenii and like the fact it's not too big. Is the back supportive enough to stop you rolling onto your back in your sleep?

I bought the nana and Dee. I had to turn it upside down though as I like to flip my pillow for my face in the night. It was also a teeny bit short for me but put the head section in between my legs with the long bits up the way supporting my body and it was lovely.
