Bumping for
Also on the lookout & was looking at bbhugme or snuzcurve. No expert on any I keep changing my mind!
Neither are cheap :-(

Sorry, it's not cheap, but I'll talk about my bbhugme to anyone who asks! It's so much more than just for sleeping at night. I used it for breastfeeding and sitting up comfortably in bed or on the sofa post partum, to get comfortable when I've had a bad back, just to watch telly or read in bed, it's SO comfy. DP also uses it....when he can.
On my second pregnancy now and it hasn't left the bedroom since Jan 2021. An extra bonus is that it just looks like a bolster pillow so looks nice across the bed when made and doesn't scream 'im a pregnancy pillow'

You might be able to get one on vinted or market place and wash the cover?

Another vote here for the bbhugme. It is a bit of investment but as others have said it really is worth every penny. I bought mine new but in hindsight I should have got one on eBay because you can wash the cover. I’m 26 weeks now and it’s a lifesaver. Not just for sleep but on the sofa too and for sitting upright.

Also they are more of a bean bag than a pillow so it never goes flat and you can adjust the rubber rings at either end to make it longer and softer or push them in for a really firm pillow.

I have the olive green one, it looks nice on the bed and I can see me continuing to use it post pregnancy too.

i have seen them on eBay at ‘buy it now’ for half their retail price if that helps at all.

Another vote for bbhugme. They aren't cheap but definitely worth the money. I use mine in a u/v shape around my head and upper body and it keeps me sleeping on my side very comfortably.

I ended up just buying a V shaped pillow from ASDA ... placed one end under my bump & the other between my legs ... when sat up I positioned it behind me ... did all this after wrestling it off DP! Now baby is born; it's basically his Hmm

Another vote for the bbhugme. My daughter is 14 months old and I still use it in bed, much to my partners dismay 😂
