Had been searching for a body pillow for a while and decided to buy this one as a treat to myself- wish I had bought it sooner! It offers fantastic all around support for a guaranteed great night’s sleep.
I’m not pregnant but do sleep on my sides so was making do with some of my decrotive pillows but this being longer and it staying in place throughout the night offers me the perfect support when I turn over on either side as I sleep- I haven’t slept this well in years!
4 stars because the head section is a little too thick for my personal preference as I’m used to sleeping on a thinner pillow.
Ordered for my partner who was struggling with support while sleeping during pregnancy. It may get in my way bit in the bed but helps her sleep loads better. So it’s a great purchase all round.
One side of it detaches by zipping it off which is great. My partner would recommend it.
It improved my sleep at first but its not that supportive as I dislike the detachable pillow but I kind of wish it was more of a full U pillow and could be abit more firm as its easily deflates and doesn’t really keep me from rolling on my back which is common for me.. quite big but not as big as I thought as I am 5ft 2 and was hoping for a huge firm pillow. Overall its okay but could be better.
This pillow has been a lifesaver during pregnancy and has really helped me get in a comfortable position to sleep. It has aided my sleep position and stopped me rolling onto my back. The no-pillow/detachable section is a really good feature so your arm can rest in front of you without it having to go over or under the pillow. I would highly recommend…worth the money!
This is amazing. I’d been recommended this by a friend (she is on her second pregnancy and this is my first) I started using it about 4 months and thought I wouldn’t see the benefit of it but its so comfy and having something to support my legs and bump is amazing. It also stops me rolling onto my back in the night which is really good. Very easy to remove the cover to wash too.
I was unsure which pillow to get, opted for this and I have to say it was the perfect choice for me. Keeps me cool, does not take up too much room in the bed. Firm which is perfect as others I tried are to soft. Really has helped me sleep so much better, easy to get comfortable. Would definitely recommend.

I love this pillow it is so versatile and huggable. I’m pregnant and have also hurt my back and this pillow will flex to suit the support I want. I use it on the sofa as well as to sleep on and the detachable side pillow is great as a normal pillow in its own right too. Totally worth the money for me!
Bought this pillow on my 20th week of pregnancy, quite late cause I didnt really believe that it would be so helpful. It did change everything though. Completely in love with it. So comfi, good quality of the material and of the pillow its self, like described,and it was this purchase that made my sleeps so much better. Order received in just a few days with no kinf of complications. Totally recommend! Very
Great pillow for pregnancy, started using from 12 weeks and now 22 weeks and I am very glad I purchased this one, it’s easy to wash and put back together, and it has a removable part which is great as the side can be used separately. For the price I recommend it, it’s less exspensive than some other pregnancy pillows but still very good quality!
It’s very comfortable. Back pain relief with full back support while sleeping. You can also place the pillow between legs to ease the pain and sleep well. Really worth to buy this during pregnancy to feel comfortable while sleeping. I have ordered this for my wife and she is fully satisfied with the product and having nice sleep in her pregnancy time.
Love this pillow! I bought my first pregnancy pillow from mamapillow, what a pile of s***t, it was terrible and more expensive than this. This came and it’s lovely and full, great support, really comfortable, I’ve slept so much better since having this!! It’s really good for back sleepers who need something to stop them turning on to their backs in pregnancy.
I’ve been using this pillow for a few weeks now and it’s amazing. One of my relatives has similar health issues as me and she was also struggling to sleep. She is just as impressed as I am and wishes we’d bought them a lot sooner. We have various health conditions between us – including Psoriatic and Osteoarthritis, Degenerative Disc Disease and protruding discs – and haven’t had an uninterrupted full night sleep in years.

Brilliant pillow for pregnancy. I think it’s even helped delay severe SPD symptoms as I didn’t have this pillow in my first pregnancy and suffered from severe SPD from 22 weeks. In this pregnancy I have the occasional twinge but no SPD so far and I’m 29 weeks. However, caution to anyone with sensitive skin. Since using this I’ve had a flare up of eczema on my face, legs and arms (anywhere touching the pillow) due to the pillow cover not being cotton. I initially thought it was perhaps hormonal but realised it the pillow cover. I’ve had to cover it with a cotton bed sheet.
Arrived in less than 24 hours of placing the order. Well packaged, when removed from shrink wrap it immediately became very full (no need to wait 48hours) doesnt smell chemically at all like I’d read in some reviews. Perfectly stuffed throughout… and the comfort/support it gives already is amazing! Havent slept using it yet but I cant wait! Looks big on a double bed but not an issue with the two of us and the pillow, also I’m 5 ft 6 and length wise this is perfect. 5* purchase!!

I have already got 2 children and am in my first trimester of my 3rd.
I bought this pillow “early” because my husband had damaged a ligament in his shoulder and I thought great we will get multiple uses out of it.
It is a lovely pillow, great quality and very comfortable, the children love it too and set it up i their reading corner when we are not using it.
I will definitely use it for sleeping as the weeks/months go on.
It is a bonus that is is washable and you can remove one of the sides, seems like it will make an ideal feeding pillow both for in bed and on the sofa!
Well worth the money!

I bought this because I have herniated discs in my back and wanted a bit more support.
It’s ok, it’s functional, and the best bit is how you can unzip it and use the two parts separately.
But really, it still seems cheap and not that great quality. Don’t know how long it will provide support.
If I were you I’d keep shopping around for maybe a memory foam one.
I purchased this pillow at the beginning of my pregnancy when I had to change my sleeping position from belly down to a side. It is a perfect pillow, firm enough to support the back but soft for the head. The cover is easy to remove and washed well. I am very pleased and cannot recommend it enough.
Suffer from a spinal issue and waiting for an operation, bought this to make my time comfortable until my op day. I love it, it cradles you and keeps you really secure and let’s me have a great sleep. Love it so much, my son has just ordered one for my elderly father. I will be using this after my op and will be buying another in the future.
Quick delivery, and I followed the instructions so left to plump up for 48 hours before using.
It is quite large, but my hubby has enough space in our double bed. I have slept much better, and it stops me from sleeping on my back. The only draw back is the zip section, where I can detach the additional pillow. When sleeping it digs into my boobs! And they are sooo sore already.
This pillow is great. Have to say I was worried about paying the price in case it was limp and not much support but I have been using it every night and it’s a good support. I was also worried it would take up all of the bed but it’s a nice fit. Def recommend 🙂
Love this product. I am 20 weeks pregnant and was suffering hip pain. With this I no longer have the pain and I am also not concerned that I will roll and sleep on my back, sleeping on you back is not advised in the third trimester so this gives me piece of mind when this arrives.
Just got to that awkward stage of pregnancy where I can’t get comfy as usually sleep on my front. This pillow is very supportive and as it’s full body it stops me rolling onto my back/front. I love that one side can be unzipped and taken off so my partner can still give me a cuddle in bed too. Very happy with this pillow overall.
The pillow was well made, but unfortunately did not work for my sister. She has fibromyalgia which causes her a lot of pain, especially at night. We hoped this pillow might help but it made her pain worse. I know from reviews that it has helped many, but with fibromyalgia everybody experiences it differently. I would have used it myself but the cover is polyester and I’m allergic to it.
It might be a bit too early to tell whether this pillow makes a difference to my sleep quality and is therefore woth the spend, but I definitely feel very comfortable when waking up. I feel that this pillow might be too high up for my head, though I am hoping that it will flatten out once I’ve used it enough. I love that I’m able to rest my legs on it, though as a result it’s making the bed look untidy due to it’s large size.

This pillow is fantastic. So well stuffed and amazing quality easily removable washable covers. It has allowed me to lay in bed fully supported and finally have some sleep. Have recommended it to so many people now.
This is one of my greatest investment during my pregnancy. It’s big and very comfortable. IT has a detachable side which I use in the lounge during the day. Worth the price.
I waited a little while to write this review, so that it could be an honest representation of how I felt. I found from around 18 weeks pregnant I struggled to get comfortable and sleep on a night, since getting this pillow I’ve found it has been easier to get comfortable.
Best thing I could ever do is spend my money on this pregnancy pillow.. I have been suggesting with back problems for last 20 years and I just couldn’t sleep or get comfortable since I got pregnant.. it has made a huge difference to my sleep quality.. It took me a while to spend all that money, but it is definitely worth every penny..
Bought for my daughter… she absolutely loves it and uses it both day and night.
It was a little more expensive than others on the market. However, my philosophy is you get what you pay for. It is well made, lightweight and a great product. Can also be manipulated to be used to support baby sitting up when he/she arrives.
I purchased this pillow at roughly 20 weeks pregnant. The pillow has supported my ever growing stomach; also helps with my access weight and additionally helps ease pressure on my joints. The pillow lies between my knees, slightly under my tummy and my head rest on top. This position helps me get to sleep very quickly. Really happy with the purchase. I really am comfortable every night and look forward to my sleep. Well worth the money.

For all pregnant women, this is a must. I am a man and I agree you would ask who do I know.
My wife bought this through my account. She was not able to sleep until she bought this. I was not able to sleep either.
Since we bough this, the level of support it offers is exceptional and both of us have been able to sleep sound and sweetly.
There other factors that helped us, a firm mattress helped too, but that alone was snot enough. With this we were able to sleep.
Would recommend as it’s very versatile, it’s amazing for napping, reading or working on your laptop, but I would like to emphasise that it is not necessarily best for sleeping for everyone as it takes up a lot of space if you’re sharing bed with your partner and it certainly doesn’t replace a good quality pillow underneath your head for the best spine alignment.
This pillow is large enough which is a reason I bought it. It does take reasonable amount of space despite its large size. It’s useful to have the other part detachable and I used it both with and without it. It took me sometime to figure out what a comfortable position with this pillow is but that comes with time. I used it before and during pregnancy and would still continue if the head support was better – it’s just not as comfortable as a regular pillow. I’d say that after 12 months use the quality is much lower as it was when brand new but I guess that’s expected from a pillow.
I have been using this pillow for a week now to help me sleep more comfortably while pregnant, and I have been loving it. The two sides are slightly different, which give more options to get comfortable.
Really like how big this pillow is as it provides support all over. I use the the small pillow one side and bigger bit other side in bed so that when i roll over i don’t have to take the pillow with me. It’s also a great support for sitting, supports back, and big enough to put other parts under your legs.
The major downside for me is that you can only wash the cover on 30 degrees which means it doesn’t get rid of germs to use with my newborn, the amount of spillages etc it needs to be able to be washed on 40.
Also the zip has broken on the larger pillow and I’ve only had it a couple of months.

I ordered this product when I started getting terrible joint pain around 12 weeks of pregnancy. I have hypermobility so was almost guarenteed to get pain at some point. The pillow is incredibly comfortable and supportive, even when just relaxing in bed before going to sleep. My joint pain has reduced after only a few nights of using it! I’m not sleeping quite as well as before I started using that but it could be that I just need a little longer to get used to sleeping on my side (I’ve always been a stomach or back sleeper). I will definitely continue to use it and recommend it to anyone.

I have osteoarthritis and use this as a support in and on my bed. Very comfortable especially when sitting up with main cushion behind me as gives lots of support and doesn’t slip like regular pillows. Was purchased mainly to support one of my legs at night with the removable cushion, but maybe a little too high to work completely well. Good purchase though.
Got this at 23 weeks pregnant (currently 25) and wish I’d bought it sooner. After waking up with pelvic pain and constantly waking up on my back, this has helped to make my nights sleep a lot more comfortable (just need to kick my husband out the bed now!) It took a bit of getting used to, and it can be very warm sometimes all wrapped up, but I honestly couldn’t sleep without it now!
I am towards the end of my second trimester. I bought this nearly a month ago as was struggling with sleep. It has helped though not immensely. The back does feel supported. The bump support is detachable which is good so you can position it as you like but I think had it been a little longer would be better.On the whole I guess it has helped improve sleep.

Absolutely love this pillow. I was struggling to get comfortable at night, tossing and turning. Since I started using the pillow I’ve been getting a full night’s sleep. It supports your whole body and stops any hip pain. I have been used to sleeping on my back until being pregnant but side sleeping isn’t a bother now with my trusty pillow! Definitely recommend!
This is how I have slept my whole life, on my side while cuddling plush toys or another pillow or yes my husband. None are as comfortable as this pillow, which I can cuddle with my whole body including my stubby legs, all the while very comfortably supporting my head. Unbeknownst to me I have been searching for such a pillow for all my life. This pillow is my OTP, my one true pillow.
I love the easily detachable arm which I can also use to prop me up while reading. I also use it as padding space to ensure there is space by my head for my cat who also loves this pillow and will sleep on the detachable arm. If there was not enough space for my fat cat by my head, undoubtedly he would try to share my pillow and sleep on my face and I would be unable to breathe in my sleep. Dear reader, this pillow is not only helping me sleep but you could even go so far as to say it is saving my life.
Please note I am not, to the best of my knowledge, pregnant.
Good pillow, best pillowcase for a pregnancy pillow I have ever seen – well made and doesn’t rip (at least so far). The pillow is comfortable, offers a lot of support and so far the quality is very good.
I have not used this for pregnancy. I have lupus and joint hypermobility and therfore suffer from a great deal of joint pain that can make sleeping and generally getting comfortable almost impossible. I cannot recommend this body pillow enough. Since buying i’ve had a better quality of sleep, have been more comfortable and have been able to sleep in positions that before would not have been possible. It is a great size (i’m almost 5ft10in) It has a detachable arm (which the other half has swiped to use as a pillow as its so comfy) and you can make It into pretty much any position you need to for support. Also It doesen’t flatten, It stays plump and so maintains your comfort all night. I wouldn’t be without It now and only wish i’d found It sooner.

I am so glad I ended up buying this pillow! In my second trimester I started getting hip and lower back pain which would just not go away. This pillow allows me to find a comfortable position and to lay on my side without rolling around too much. I also use it for sitting on the sofa to give extra support to my lower back. Would definitely recommend.
Ok, I bought this pillow for my wife, not for pregnancy reasons as she is not pregnant. My wife usually sleeps with a normal pillow between her legs for comfort. It arrived on due date and was well packed. It was also vacume packed.
Once re leased fom the vacume pack it should be left for 48 hours to take its shape and regain it’s softness. Her views on the pillow is, very comfortable, great night sleep, soft and nice on the skin. Should have bought this year’s ago.
Product is very supportive and soft at the same time. The removable arm is very good to have as it has a dip for your arm to slot into and supports your knees, allowing a comfortable sleeping position. It’s also great that the cover is washsble. Time will tell if the cushion maintains its firmness. I would recommend a king size and above due to how much space it takes up. Partner loves it.
The pillow is mega comfortable and does fluff up bigger after a day or so. It has helped with some aches and pains although is not a miracle item. I feel supported but I read a lot of reviews saying it would stop me rolling on my back it does sometimes but other times the pillow slips away and I end up on my back so don’t expect it to work 100%.
I was majorly unimpressed by the amount of packaging it came in the sheer volume of plastic it was wrapped in was ridiculous and I actually hurt my back trying to get it out of all the plastic.
Overall though I love the pillow it has helped to make me more comfortable during pregnancy.
What an amazing pillow! This pillow is soft to hug and yet gives me enough support for my growing bump. What I really like about this pillow is that it supports the bump and the back at the same time. I had another body pillow before this one but this one is way better. I had recommended this to a friend of mine who is pregnant and she is really happy with it too. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who’s looking for a pregnancy pillow and also anyone who’s looking for a body pillow.
Bought this for my pregnant wife who had trouble sleeping at night, she was unable to find a good position and figured we’ll give this a try!
Box arrived, well packaged and she immediately found it comfortable and versatile especially since you can unzip part of the pillow. She’s had great nights of sleep so far with it as it keeps her body in position and supports her during the night
Highly highly recommended to any pregnant wome
It’s actually not too big so it doesn’t take up too much space in the bed. My partner cuddles it too whilst I’m using it
It gives me support so I don’t roll over on to my back so much, which means I have a better sleep as I don’t keep waking up every 5 mins worrying that I’m laying on my back!
Great purchase.
The pillow is a great price considering the amount of comfort it provides to my partner. She suffered from severe nausea the whole of the 1st trimester and this pillow helped her tremendously to get as comfortable as possible. It provides support to the front and back of her body. Great that you can take the cover off to clean.
I imagine it will only provide more comfort further into the pregnancy as the baby gets bigger. Would definitely reccomend
This pillow has literally changed my life! I was struggling to sleep due to not having enough support around my bump and back then I purchased the pillow and honestly slept properly for the first time in what feels like months. I love the fact the back support curves to your body shape. I don’t think I’ll ever be able to sleep without it!
My husband bought this for me for christmas. I’m only 16 weeks pregnant at the moment so not too big, but have been really struggling with my sleep.
Until… I got this pillow! I am absolutely obsessed with this and use it in bed for comfort and support and whilst I’m on the sofa! It holds its shape extremely well, and supports me exactly where I need it. My husband finds it so comfortable I’m sure he wants one too!
Highly recommend for any pregnant woman!

Amazing, comfortable, I can’t imagine going through a single night without it.
I used to sleep 12 hrs a night – before I got pregnant, then it gone down to about 2 but after buying this pillow I can honestly say my sleep is so much better and longer.
It will stay in my bed even after my baby arrives.
Definitely recommend this product.
I have never had trouble sleeping before I was pregnant, but when I got to 16 weeks I couldn’t stop tossing and turning in the night. I started only being able to sleep in stretches of 2-3 hours, being awake for long periods in between, which made me really tired for work. Since I got the pillow, I’ve managed to sleep straight through for 9 hours which is a huge game changer! I have recently started getting back pain in the day, but this disappears when I lay in the pillow. My husband says he’s going to keep using it after the baby is here as he likes the support it gives his back in the bed!
Have used this for a month now. This does provides the support you need between your legs, behind your back and under your baby bump when sleeping on your side. It has helped fractionally with my hip pain in the mornings when getting up. However during the night I do get hip pain from sleeping on one side so that I have to change sides to manage it. Maybe just a downside of pregnancy. Good thing is, the way the pillow is designed, you don’t have to rearrange it when changing sides. It has helped with getting better sleep but not completely for me but then I’ve always been a light sleeper. Looking forward to using it for nursing, the versatility is definitely a plus! My Hubby looks at it with envy!
Bought to help with sleep problems caused by joint pain and has made a significant difference. Given as a gift the recipient has provided very positive feedback and is very happy, overnight pain has improved and the support is very helpful. The pillow seems good quality and the consistency is sufficiently firm but not hard and is adjustable. Fits well in a small double bed without any sensation of overcrowding.
It saved my sleeping! I have been using it from about 6 months of pregnancy and it definitely is worth to have it. Helps to support knees and belly little. I hope I’ll use it for breastfeeding too once the baby comes. I’m 164 cm and size fits well.
I took it with me even when we went to a hotel.
I appreciate that it has supports on both sides, so when I roll over from left to right – it is still there.

I have recently been getting hip pain but I think I need to have a bit of test to see how I can use the pillow to support effectively.
I’d recommend this for back sleepers and whilst it does take up quite a bit of space in bed, I am able to fall asleep a lot quicker using this!!! I can also see myself using this after our bubba is here so I think it’s going to be more useful than just during pregnancy.
I purchased this after abdominal surgery, I need added suppor under my legs, this has been a lifesaver.
I’m getting better now, so use has switch to being a long bed buddy to stop me rolling over onto my tummy, I love cuddling into it, it’s supportive & soft. The material covering the cushion is very soft against your skin.
It’s weighty so not easily pushed out of bed.
Excellent product! I had a cheaper pregnancy pillow with my previous pregnancy but it didn’t provide anywhere near as much support as this one! I’m so glad I invested. I’m currently 20 weeks and already suffering with lower back pain so I can see that I’m going to get my use out of this product for sure! Much comfier sleep than I was getting previously. Thankyou Pharmedoc!
I have bought this pillow for my wife and this is what she said:
“I wanted to share this as Im truly impressed by the utility of this pillow! My husband bought it for me as I was complaining too much of waking up at night due to discomfort while pregnant. My problem is that I just love sleeping on my back and no matter what I do I always wake up in this position. It wasn’t a problem at first, but as I progressed through my pregnancy, I realised that it has a massive impact on my sleep! I would wake up 4-6 times per night with discomfort and slight back pain… I knew it has to stop. That’s when I started using Pharmedoc U-shaped pillow and suddenly I stopped waking up at night so often. The pillow provides great support for my back and it prevents me from rolling in bed so I wake up in the same position. The pillow has a detachable element that you can place in between your legs or completely remove, which is great if you want to have a bit more freedom of movement at night. I would highly recommend this product to every mum to be suffering from lower back pain and frequent waking up at night”
I like this product however I feel the shorter side could have been longer for extra leg support I’m 5″8 and struggle to get the support I need without upzipping it
Easy washable and soft though
For my partners purpose it is just about right; both in size & comfort; the fact that you can ‘adjust’ the filling is an added area of flexibility but we’ve not needed to do this.
Used in a 5ft bed it’s not overwhelming or obtrusive and the design (especially where the left arm area has been left void) is well thought out.
Bedding, pillows etc. is an area we all must need to give more thought to & invest in ourselves, after all we spend much of our lives sleeping so why not make it that little bit more comfortable?!
This product for the little it costs therefore represents fantastic value for your wellbeing!
Since hitting the 2nd trimester of my pregnancy I have really struggled to find a comfy position to get to sleep, waking up in the middle of the night with numb hands from sleeping on my side. I received this product yesterday and after using it for the first time I had the best night sleep I’ve had in such a long time, no more waking up with numbs hand
Recived my pillow today and it so happens in hospital. I’m not pregnant I use it as a back support and I have to say the cover is so soft and the pillow is just amazing. The positions you can put it in I’m a reader and it has a reading position and it beats any of the other pregnancy pillows I’ve used when I was pregnant. I’m so gratful I found this.
My husband bought this for me in my second trimester. It is super comfortable and encouraged me to sleep on my side. The U-shape is great to have pillows on both sides so that I don’t have to worry about moving the pillow around every time I roll over. I’ll probably keep using it after pregnancy too!
Update: it’s been 8 weeks since I delivered my baby, and I am still using this pillow – too comfortable to switch back!
I really like this pillow, it’s been great for the first 6 months of my pregnancy so far. There is room to put your arm under so you don’t get a dead arm. Comfy, squishy and helps me sleep.
This is the first pregnancy pillow I have ever used, so I don’t have anything to compare it to, but I did a lot of research before buying.
The pillow comes in a very small box, which is great for delivery. You then need to leave it for 48 hours to puff up to full size. Perhaps this is why some reviewers thought it was a bit flat? It was hard to wait the 48 hours as by this point I was desperate for a better night’s sleep but I think it was worth it.
I find the pillow really comfortable. I like the soft jersey fabric and the volume/consistency of the pillow. I like that it is one piece, before when I went to the toilet in the night I would then have to rearrange five pillows before I could get back into bed. I find that I am less likely to roll onto my back in my sleep. I like that I feel supported from all sides.
I was concerned beforehand that it was so big my partner would be pushed out of the bed but that is not the case.
The only thing I’m not so sure about it the detachable arm. I think it will give the pillow more versatility in the long run perhaps but I think I would prefer it if both sides of the pillow were the same. (Sometimes I still have to swap sides because my hip has gone numb)
Overall I am really happy with my purchase, I think it’s really good value and I suspect I will use it long after my pregnancy ends!
Great pillow for pregnancy. Took me a second to get used to it but now I think I’ve found the best way to sleep on it. Could use a bit more firmness in the part designed for your head but overall it’s a great product to reduce strain and get some sleep. Adjusting to my body during pregnancy has taken some time but this definitely helps! Also I would throw the cover in the wash quickly before using. It was a little itchy at first but I have very sensitive skin. Once I washed it it’s been totally soft and no problems whatsoever. Recommended!

It’s also a perfect support when you read or watch Tv on your back so I’m sure it will be an amazing tool for breastfeeding when the little one comes.
All in all amazing product I already recommended to all my pregnant friends!

It does the job for me! So I am happy but my assumption is that it depends on the size of a person in many ways. So someone could find it not working properly.
I am further writing it after a week only, so I can’t say much about durability of this product.
Bought for my daughter as she was suffering from hip pain and general discomfort when pregnant. Has helped considerably in bringing relief and has enabled her to sleep more comfortably. The detachable extension is a good addition as can be placed where most helpful. Overall a good buy.
Pillow is thinner than it looks on the pictures. Ample for a slim, 5 foot tall but can feel a little on the small side if you are 5 foot 8 and semi heavy built.
Feels well made and clean and like it will last. Fluffs up properly after 2 days but still doesn’t seem that big or fluffy. Perhaps it’s meant to be that way.
