U-Shaped Full Body Memory Foam Maternity Pillow

From around 22 weeks, lying on your back can restrict blood flow through the vena cava — the main vein running along your spine. With blood volume up to 50% higher during pregnancy, supported side-sleeping isn’t just more comfortable, it’s medically important for both you and your baby.

Our U-shape maternity pillow gives you exactly that support — cradling both sides of your body so your spine stays in neutral alignment all night.
