Recommendations for a maternity pillow?

Exactly that, I'm looking for recommendations on the best and most reasonably priced maternity pillow.

I suffered with bad SPD in my 2 previous pregnancies. Currently 13 weeks with my 3rd and want to be prepared and have the comfort stuff in place ASAP so it's there when I start to get sore and uncomfortable. I used a V pillow last time with loads of normal pillows between my legs etc but was such a hassle, would rather buy one big one if possible.

Thanks in advance!

I used a giant sausage I got from Costco. It was big enough to put one end between my legs then the upper end under my bump. Saved messing around with multiple pillows

I'm currently using a draught excluder! I am amazed how well it is doing the job.

Furchester - a giant sausage pillow I assume? Grin

Theraline.co.uk
They do a good giant sausage, and a plushy moon is the best feeding cushion going..

I have just bought an Isi Buddy which seems to have multi-function as a between leg/bump pillow (which I've just started using at 20 weeks), then as a feeding cushion and then tummy time and baby prop when they are a bit older.

Plus it is the shape of an elephant (or donkey according to DD). I love it already. DD 2.5 has her eye on it as an addition to her teddy collection too!

I agree completely with Yarpyarp, Theraline all the way. Try preloved.co.uk for second hand ones; the cover is washable too.

Yes, a sausage pillow :o
Although I was so hungry I could have easily slept with a meaty one under the pillow

Dream Genii is working well for me. Cheaper on Amazon than most other places. Helps me keep sleeping in my left side as I'm usually a right side sleeper.
I had a V shaped one before, but I snuggled it so tightly it separated and went floppy!

Theraline! I'm about to sell mine. If you want one and you're in/near London (I don't think I can post it, unless someone wants to tell me how I post something the size of a small dog!) PM me! I found it a total lifesaver and although my DH referred to it as 'The Husband' because it took up so much room in the bed, it was worth every penny
