could try a pregnancy pillow x

I have looked, I had a really good one when I was PG with DD (almost 4 years ago) so I can’t find it again now and I just can’t find one I like! And the ones that look half decent are like £60!! Maybe just me but that seems a lot for a pillow hahah

yeah that’s defo too much to pay for a pillow😂i think they do like pregnancy wedge things to lie on ur side with as well, i don’t think there that expensive but i’m not quite sure

I bought a £12 one from Asda that is 12ft long and honestly, it’s the best! My sister bought a Dreamgenii for £69 and lent it to me and it’s a lot smaller (by a couple of feet!) and it’s quite thin!

The asda one is thicker than the genii one and I couldn’t bear spending loads of money on the pillow! I’ve had it from the very beginning of my pregnancy and it’s nearly 10 months old, washes well!

Thanks @Pregnantbam £12 is a lot more reasonable haha I may have to try the Asda one thanks :)

Hi I got a dreamgenii two weeks ago from Amazon, it was cheaper on there than anywhere else. I really like it but as a PP said it is on the thinner side, I just get boiling in the night so needed something lighter or else it gets kicked onto the floor Grin

Just checked it's £35 instead of somewhere like John Lewis where it's more like £50

Tricky! I also get v hot in bed but at the same time I think I need a firm(ish) one as I’ll just end up on my back otherwise it’s my natural sleep position and I’m struggling not being able to sleep on my back 🤦🏻‍♀️😂

Thats why I got the dreamgenii. It has a back support, so when I go to lie on my back (I always sleep on my back) it does kind of make me aware and I have been turning back onto my side. I had a sausage one and just used to go onto my back again. It's so hard though as it is totally personal preference.

Yea I may have to just purchase one trial and error I think
