The best pregnancy pillows around

As your bump gets bigger, finding a comfortable sleeping position can get tougher, but pregnancy pillows can help.

Their distinctive shape is designed to help you find a comfortable position for you bump and can also help support your back during the night.

How to choose the right pregnancy pillow

As with any purchase, there are different options to choose from and a range of prices. What you spend largely depends on what you need. If it’s mildly uncomfortable for you at night, you can go with a simple V-shaped pillow to give you some back support for as little as £5. 

If you are suffering at night and need something more, there are higher end options offering a more deluxe shape and design to support your back, bump, pelvis and hips for a more comfortable night’s sleep. You will need to raise the budget for one of these as they can cost up to £50. Although more expensive, it’s worth remembering that a pregnancy pillow can double up as a handy nursing pillow when breastfeeding.

Here are our pick of some of the best pregnancy pillows around.
