Sleep is often one of the first things to suffer during pregnancy. By the third trimester, side-sleeping is highly recommended, but hip aches, lower back pain, and heartburn can make restful nights feel impossible. While you might already be hunting for the best mattress toppers or the comfiest maternity pyjamas to find relief, a standard pillow just won’t cut it anymore. This is where investing in the best pillows designed specifically for your changing body makes the world of difference.
As a parent to both a toddler and a newborn, I’ve tested dozens of options across two pregnancies to find what truly works. Midwife Leah Hazard agrees: “Pregnancy pillows can be great tools for preventing and easing the discomfort that can be part and parcel of any pregnancy, from backache to pelvic-girdle pain and leg cramps.”
