Maternity Pillows - a --life-- sleep-saver or waste of money?

[Petalouda]

Hello,

I'm 25 weeks and starting to get really uncomfortable at night.

I've just looked at a whole range of maternity pillows.

Are they any good?
Would you recommend any?
What should I avoid?
Am I better off with a bunch of standard pillows?

Thanks! x

Mine came through the post today, its a v shape one so will update tomorrow.

Roll on bedtime :-)

Dreamgenii was totally and utterly useless for me. I am tall and nothing lined up properly on me. I couldn't get comfortable and never once managed to fall asleep using it. Total waste of money and I gave it away in the end.

I think I'm going to go for a Theraline one, just wish they didn't come in such hideous patterns! The plain, ecru one will get dirty so easily, so vomit-style it is!
