After the Baby Arrives: What to Do With Your Pregnancy Pillow
You don't have to put it away when the baby arrives. The weeks after birth, when you're still sleeping on your side and still want something to lean into, are part of what our U-shaped pillows are built for.
Later on
No bump required. Built for pregnancy, which makes a full wraparound more than enough for everyday side sleepers.
Sitting up in bed is a separate job. The Back & Lounge Support Pillow is built for sitting up, not for lying down.
One thing to know
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission puts it simply: pillows and babies don't mix.
Looking after it
The rule across the line is the same: the cover washes, the pillow doesn't. How to Wash a Pregnancy Pillow has the rest.

FAQ
Q · How long will I use it?
There's no set week to start, and no date we can give you for stopping. This is about how long the shape fits your nights, not a promise about a pillow's lifespan.
Q · Can my partner use it?
If they sleep on their side, yes. No bump required.
