Which feeding cushion for a size 16?

I'm looking for a c-shaped feeding cushion, and have read reviews for all sorts from cheap ones on Amazon to Widgey and Clevamama. A common complaint about a lot of them is that they are not very generous in size, and I've seen reviewers say that they struggled to fit it around themselves even as a size 12 or 14. Now I'll be at least a size 16 maternity post-birth, with a slowly deflating large belly, and will most likely be having a c-section. Comfort is a priority! Is there anyone who is a similar size to me who can recommend a fairly generous one?

Not the shape you may be looking for, but this one is a 3 parter and I am planning to using it for feeding after birth, and loving it for sleeping!

I used a v shaped pillow. Was brilliant in pregnancy for propping me up comfortably, or sleeping with. And then an excellent feeding pillow for my squishy frame!

I used two or three normal pillows. They were far more comfortable than my C-shape cushion, softer and more squishy, so I could ram them into whatever shape was needed for that feed. (I had problems feeding, so went through lots of different positions).

V shaped pillow here too. Much cheaper. (And still used years later)

I used a V shaped pillow - about £7 from IKEA. Perfect.

Thank you! Nearly unanimous for V-shaped then - I'll take a look at those instead .
