How to choose the right pregnancy pillow

Preg­nant women dur­ing the entire peri­od of ges­ta­tion face cer­tain incon­ve­niences, which are espe­cial­ly aggra­vat­ed in recent months. More­over, the most incon­ve­nience occurs when the expec­tant moth­er tries to sleep, because the num­ber of posi­tions that can be tak­en with a big bel­ly is lim­it­ed. For­tu­nate­ly, today there are spe­cial pil­lows for preg­nant women, designed just to improve the com­fort of rest.

It’s impor­tant to know how choose a preg­nan­cy pil­low. It should be made of hypoal­ler­genic filler and nat­ur­al fab­rics. In addi­tion, the fab­ric for the cov­er must also be durable, because the pil­low can be used even after the birth of the child — which means that it must be ready to serve you for a long time. Nat­u­ral­ly, it makes no sense to over­pay for import­ed items, because domes­tic seam­stress­es do their job just as well.

The main types of pil­lows for preg­nant women

In order to under­stand which pil­low for preg­nant women is bet­ter, you need to ana­lyze all their main vari­eties. There are options U-, FROM-, I-, G-, G-forms, and “Boomerang”. Such prod­ucts are designed to sup­port the entire body or its indi­vid­ual parts that expe­ri­ence some dis­com­fort — the low­er back, the stom­ach itself, and so on.

How­ev­er, the best preg­nan­cy pil­low is, with­out a doubt, a U‑shaped pil­low. They pro­vide sup­port to the body from all sides and are best suit­ed for those who are accus­tomed to fre­quent­ly change their body posi­tion dur­ing sleep. In addi­tion, they can be used in every­day life — to unload the cer­vi­cal spine or even as an addi­tion­al piece of fur­ni­ture. These pil­lows use holofiber (springy hypoal­ler­genic fiber), which is an excel­lent ther­mo­stat and allows air to cir­cu­late freely. Anoth­er filler offered by our store is arti­fi­cial swan down. Com­plete­ly hypoal­ler­genic, but soft­er, unlike holofiber.
Nat­u­ral­ly, with­out excep­tion, all pil­lows are made tak­ing into account phys­i­o­log­i­cal struc­tures, that is, they are able to pro­vide sup­port for all mus­cles that are in ten­sion at the same time.

The largest pil­low of all offered — “G” shape pil­low, per­fect for a large bed and will be able to sup­port the expec­tant moth­er from all sides. One edge of such a pil­low is placed under the back, and the oth­er — between the knees. At the same time, even a big tum­my will be incred­i­bly com­fort­able — of course, if you are used to sleep­ing on your side. If you often turn over in a dream, then such a pil­low will also come in handy, because both of its edges have the same length. But asym­met­ric pil­lows will not pro­vide you with such con­ve­nience, since they will have to be con­stant­ly turned over. For small and frag­ile women, the G pil­low can seem real­ly huge. How­ev­er, they will also find appli­ca­tion for it in the last stages of preg­nan­cy, because dur­ing this peri­od swelling in the legs is often annoyed and you want to put your legs high­er. The dis­ad­van­tages of such a pil­low are also present — its size will not fit into any bed. A small bed sim­ply does not fit such a “giant”.

Pil­low shaped bagel — this is per­haps the most ver­sa­tile prod­uct. After all, with its help you will pro­vide your­self with high-qual­i­ty sup­port when sleep­ing on your side, and by twist­ing the prod­uct in a cer­tain way, you can even enjoy it while sit­ting down on your stom­ach.

A pil­low is good for a small bed. Boomerang. This prod­uct can right­ful­ly be called mul­ti­func­tion­al, because with its help you can orga­nize a com­fort­able sleep and rest, and sub­se­quent­ly use it when feed­ing the crumbs. In addi­tion, this pil­low is com­pact in size, which means it will be com­fort­able for petite women and fit into a small bed.

Pil­low Har­mo­ny (G form) will pro­vide preg­nant women with a com­fort­able sleep due to back sup­port and a grow­ing tum­my, and will also allow you to orga­nize a bed with­out a head­rest. This prod­uct will also be the best solu­tion for a small bed.

Pil­low Cush­ion ( in form I)also good for small bed­rooms. Despite its com­pact­ness, this prod­uct will pro­vide a rest­ful, full-fledged sleep to a tired expec­tant moth­er.

Rules for choos­ing pil­lows for preg­nant women

It is clear that when decid­ing on such an impor­tant pur­chase, you should not only know where to buy a pil­low for preg­nant women, but also how to choose it cor­rect­ly. First of all, the filler plays a huge role — it must be antimi­cro­bial, envi­ron­men­tal­ly friend­ly and hypoal­ler­genic. A good option is holofiber — it is light­weight, unde­mand­ing in care and has an excel­lent abil­i­ty to keep its shape. In addi­tion, these pil­lows eas­i­ly fold into the most com­pact form. The sec­ond, no less high-qual­i­ty and pop­u­lar filler option is arti­fi­cial swan down. It is soft­er, max­i­mal­ly adapts to the shape of your body.

Of course, for qual­i­ty bed­ding, it is impor­tant not only what is inside it, but also what is out­side. The qual­i­ty of the cov­er also plays an impor­tant role. After all, very often pil­lows for preg­nant women are used in the future for feed­ing the baby. Thus, the cov­er should be easy to remove, pro­vide soft tac­tile sen­sa­tions, and main­tain a com­fort­able tem­per­a­ture for the human body. As a rule, nat­ur­al mate­ri­als are cho­sen for sewing cov­ers — coarse cal­i­co, satin, cot­ton.

How to use a preg­nan­cy pil­low cor­rect­ly

A pil­low can be placed behind the back if the lum­bar region needs unload­ing. If the prob­lem area is the legs and the blood cir­cu­la­tion dis­turbed in them, then the prod­uct can be placed under the legs. In the event that you put your arms and shoul­ders on the pil­low, then in this way unload the area of ​​​​the neck and shoul­ders. It can also be placed at the back to pre­vent you from rolling onto your back (this is espe­cial­ly impor­tant for preg­nant women in the last weeks), or you can place one end of the pil­low between your legs, there­by help­ing to relax the spinal area. How­ev­er, each of the avail­able forms of pil­lows can be used in its own way. At the same time, the most func­tion­al is the U‑shaped pil­low.
