Pregnancy Pillow or Regular Body Pillow?

A straight body pillow lies beside you. A pregnancy pillow is shaped to rest against more than one place at once.

What a straight body pillow does

A straight pillow touches you just where you happen to line up with it.

What a pregnancy pillow does instead

A U surrounds you; an E works from three points of support with one side open. Either way, the shape reaches more than one place at a time.

In between: the contour pillow

The Adjustable Contour Body Support Pillow is 41 inches of contour with fill you can add or take out — support at the back, hips and knees, without a full-size body pillow taking over the bed.

It was built as everyday body support. If you're pregnant and want full-body support for sleep, start with the Classic U-Shaped Pregnancy Support Pillow — or the E-shape if bed space is tight.

The honest part

Targeted doesn't mean lesser — it means the problem is one region, not the whole line. If a full-size pillow would spend most of its length unused on your bed, the smaller one is the honest buy.

FAQ

Q · Can I use a regular body pillow while pregnant?

Yes, if it's working. A pregnancy pillow earns its place when the improvising stops working.

Q · How is the contour pillow different from a regular body pillow?

A straight body pillow lies beside you; this one is cut to the side-sleeping line, so it rests against your back, hips and knees at once. Its fill is adjustable too.
