U shaped pregnancy pillow recommendations

[thingymaboob]

I am now 19 weeks and I'm sleeping with pillow in legs and pillow behind me but at night I keep rolling onto my back which is not comfortable and not ideal as I get bigger. Does anyone have a good U shaped pregnancy pillow, please? I think it'll stop me rolling and provide support for legs. Thank you.

This thread is a few years old now, but if you've come across it while on the hunt for pregnancy pillow recommendations, our guide to the best pregnancy pillow has been recently updated to reflect current availability. It includes a wide range of pillow options, from u-shaped to c-shaped, wedges and whole-body. All tried, tested and approved by Mumsnetters. We hope it's helpful!

Absolutely don't get the dreamgenie it's a horrendous waste of money 🤣

@20viona ha, yes I had one in last pregnancy and came to same conclusion!

Following as wanting one myself. want a nice soft squishy one but hard to try them

I’ve got back and pelvis problems left over from pregnancy. I personally don’t like the U shaped pillows because I don’t find them comfortable under my neck so I’ve got two Kally sleep body pillows. They’re really comfortable and have lasted really well. I’ve just looked at their website and they do a U shaped one

I bought one of these and it did nothing so instead I have two pillows behind my back and 2 pillows between my legs. The pregnancy sausages also take up so much room and can make you hot.

Omg completely agree with the dreamgenie. It gets thrown out of the bed. I just use a normal pillow in between my legs and that's enough.

None a waste of money I found them more uncomfortable than not having one. I tried all night with one as I wanted to persist but I flung it out the bed about 5am as I'd hardly slept at all.

It was also huge and took up half the bed my dh wasn't impressed was like having 3 in the bed 😂 Absolute waste of money.

Mine is just from asda and it does the job!

Just came to say don't bother with a dream genie

This has been a total game changer for me! I have one of the velvet cover ones and it’s honestly brilliant. Takes up a lot of room but it’s stopped me from getting hip and back pain in bed so well worth the money in my opinion :)

I have a BBHugme pillow that I LOVE! It served me well from early pregnancy through postnatal recovery and breastfeeding. I still love it now (my son is 15 months!) - so worth the money in my opinion!

I second this one! Although can’t wait until I can sleep normally again

This.

I bought this one (I think). I chose this as it could be used as a pregnancy pillow, breast feeding pillow and a 'sit up' pillow for baby.
