Among a lot of the advice you’ll get during your pregnancy you’ll probably hear, “Sleep now because when that baby comes you won’t sleep a wink!” is one that’s often repeated (by literally everyone you know). There will be some chuckling, and some forced smiles on your part.
After baby is born and that baby becomes a toddler you’ll look back on the whole ordeal and realize something: Sleeping while you’re very pregnant really isn’t that much better than sleeping with a newborn. You will want (and need) to modify your sleeping positions. You’ll need to support things you never thought you’d need support for, you will need to wake up a half a dozen times to go to the bathroom, and your heartburn will keep you in upright positions – until the weight of the baby makes you feel like you’re suffocating.
The fact is, the pictures with peacefully sleeping pregnant women are just not reality. But you have to sleep. And if you can improve it in any way, you have to jump at the chance. That’s where a pregnancy pillow comes in, providing that much-needed support for your hips, belly, and other areas that are out of whack thanks to the not-so-pleasant aspects of pregnancy. So, we’ve rounded up 25 top-rated pregnancy pillows that can help you get a restful night’s sleep for the first time in months. Our picks are listed below in alphabetical order. Ratings information is based on Amazon reviews and is current at the time of this writing.
1. Babymoov Mom & b – Ergonomic Maternity Pillow and Positioner
Current Rating: 5.0
Getting comfortable presents quite a challenge for some women in pregnancy. Weird shaped pillows that make no sense to other people become your best friend while pregnant. This is one such pillow. You can use it for belly support or back support, neck support or in between your knees. And once you’ve had your bundle of joy, you can even use this as his pillow for nursing or just practicing to sit.
Key Features:
- Removable and machine-washable cover
- Filled with microbeads for support and comfort
- 22″ W x 12″ H
2. Blue Coast Collection–Bath Pillow for Tub with Konjac Sponge
Current Rating: 4.2
You can’t take a hot bath – or at least not a very long one, because you can’t raise your body temperature or you’ll run the risk of baby brain damage. But you deserve to unwind, and doing so before bed is one way to get your body ready to crash out. (Pro-tip: if you’re desperately missing a hot bath, take a thermometer with you and get out before your temperature reaches a level unsafe for baby. It will be a short soak, but sometimes it’s better than nothing.) This pillow is a sponge style, so you don’t have to worry about getting it wet, and the comfort is far superior to the inflatables you may have seen.
Key Features:
- Strong suction cups to secure to tub
- Includes Konjac sponge
- 10-year warranty
3. Bluestone – Pregnancy Pillow
Current Rating: 3.7
This full body pillow supports your body all over, making it easier to relax. You can change the positions of this pillow to make it support you lying on your side or on your back, siting upright, or reclining. And chances are, you’ll need to re-position yourself a lot, so this is a great multi-function pillow.
Key Features:
- Filling is a polyester hollow fiber
- Removable and machine-washable cover
- Satisfaction guaranteed
4. Body Pillow by Snuggle-Pedic
Current Rating: 4.7
This may appear to simply be a body pillow, but the fact that this is memory foam means it’s going to provide perfect support for a baby belly. Your bump will get the support it needs and sink comfortably into it without putting any pressure on the baby or your back. And because it’s not maternity-specific, when you’re no longer pregnant it’ll be easy to find a use for a good quality pillow like this one.
Key Features:
- Filling is memory foam
- Cover is machine washable and 43% bamboo, 56.4% polyester and 0.6% lycra
- Limited 20-year warranty
5. Boppy Bump and Back Geo Circles Pregnancy Support Pillow
Current Rating: 4.3
Two of the biggest complaints for pregnant side sleepers are the lack of support on their back and for their bump. This pillow takes care of both of these problems and because the two supports are connected, you won’t have to worry about a little squirming knocking your pillows off the bed. It will also help you sit in the corner of the couch with your feet up by supporting either side and making your lounge time all the more relaxing.
Key Features:
- Removable, machine-washable cover
- Panel connecting two pillows stretches and will still fit as your bump grows
- Filled with 100% virgin polyester fiber

- Filled with 100% virgin polyester fiber
7. Boppy Slipcovered Pregnancy Body Pillow

10. Cozy Bump Maternity Pillow
Current Rating: 3.8
This may seem a bit extreme, but if you’re a tummy sleeper, it could be just the thing that gives you a decent night’s rest. (And since it’s plastic, at least you won’t have to worry about clean up if your water breaks. Or if baby kicks and you leak a little. Or you sneeze. Or cough. Or laugh too hard. Whatever the reason – we’re not judging.) You can inflate the pillow to the firmness that you prefer, and the ring around the belly hole has its own adjustment so you can deflate as your baby grows.

- Max capacity is 300lbs
11. Dream Premium U Shape Comfortable Pregnancy Pillow

This maternity pillow will offer your whole body support and give you the choice of pillow case: a 100% soft cotton or 100% jersey fabric.

12. EARTHLITE Pregnancy Massage Cushion & Headrest
Current Rating: 4.5
This is pretty much the Rolls Royce of maternity pillows. If you’re really struggling with your comfort or are just in dire need of a massage, this pillow may give you the kind of relaxation your body needs. This provides spaces, not just for your face and stomach, but your breasts, as well. And considering how much they’re likely to grow and how sore they can become during pregnancy, this is definitely a design win.

- Professional grade – designed for a masseuse
- 41″ L x 21.5″W x 8″ T
13. Hiccapop Pregnancy Pillow Wedge for Maternity
Current Rating: 4.7
If you don’t have the luxury of a king-sized bed (or man who will willingly head to the sofa), you may not be able to use a full body support pillow. If that’s the case, this is a great solution for you. This one, compact wedge pillow can support your stomach as it grows and you start feeling that extra weight in your back, and that support could prevent you from suffering intense back pain. And should you need the support more directly on your back, you can wedge it back there, too. You can even pop it between your knees to ensure good circulation.
Key Features:
- 2 sided for soft or firm support
- Perforated foam layer to keep pillow cool
- Lifetime guarantee
14. Leachco Back ‘N Belly Contoured Body Pillow
Current Rating: 4.1
This pillow is symmetrical and will provide equal support for your stomach and your back, no matter what side you choose to sleep on. Noteworthy: you will get the most blood flow and nutrients travelling to the placenta (and therefore to your baby) if you sleep on your left side. But tossing and turning with this pillow will not require you move any pillows around, and that will save you a lot of nightly frustration.
Key Features:
- 2 color choices
- 51” L x 33.5” W x 8.75” D
- Removable, washable cover
15. Leachco Snoogle Mini Compact Side Sleeper
Current Rating: 3.9
This full body pillow is a bit more compact than Leachco’s other full body pillows. This means you may be able to get the full support you need without taking up the entire bed doing so. And your hubby will definitely thank you for that! Just be warned, this compact design means it is not exactly the best fit for the taller Amazonian Goddess.
Key Features:
- 2 color choices
- 27.8″W x 21.8″H x 7″D
- Removable washable cover
16. Leachco Snoogle Total Body Pillow
Current Rating: 4.2
This pillow is a slightly more unique shape with a sharp hook that will better fit your neck and shoulder without allowing any empty, unsupported space. While the pillow case is a sham-style cover that you can remove and machine wash, the pillow itself is spot clean only.

- 60″L x 24.8″W x 7.2″D
- Removable, washable sham cover

Current Rating: 4.8
This is another compact pillow that will wedge into key places and offer your changing body additional support just where you need it.

21. PharMeDoc Pregnancy Pillow with Jersey Cover
Current Rating: 4.2
We know at first glance this looks just like the PharMeDoc pillow listed above, but there are a couple key differences that make these pillows, albeit similar, stand apart. The most notable difference is the size. This pillow is for a slightly taller person who needs a bit more length in the C shape. And if you prefer jersey material to a cotton, this is the pillow for you.
Key Features:
- Includes removable jersey cover
- 62″L x 29″W x 6″D
- Lifetime warranty
22. Queen Rose Pregnancy Body Pillow
Current Rating: 4.8
This pillow may be similar to others on our list, but it also includes specific care instructions you’ll appreciate that will make your pillow last years to come. The extra-soft filling will allow you to rest comfortably and is free of the off-putting smells several of its peers have at first purchase. If you note the instructions, you’ll leave it exposed to the sun at least once a month, and that will ensure its fluff and can prevent mites and bacteria.
Key Features:
- High-density Bionic-Polyethylene filling
- 100% velour removable cover
- 30-day money-back guarantee
23. Restorology Full 60-Inch Body Pregnancy Pillow

24. SUPERDADY Full Body Pregnancy Pillow
Current Rating: 4.4
This pillow is filled with a premium polyester that will hold its shape but is soft enough to add a comfort to your sleep that you will value all night. While you lie on your side, this pillow will support your neck and stomach and promote circulation while preventing back and hip pain. And as your baby grows, these are benefits that will become increasingly more crucial to your sleep.
Key Features:
- Removable, hypoallergenic pillow case
- 63″L x 25.5″W x 7″D
- 100% satisfaction guaranteed
25. Web Linenes Inc – Junior Size – Total Body Pregnancy Maternity Pillow
Current Rating: 4.1
We love the simplicity of this design, because maternity pillows sometimes seem to over-complicate (and overprice) the most basic design. This is just one really long pillow; it’s like a padded tube that you can flop around and position however you want. You can turn from side to side without having to move your pillows, and having the ability to shove this soft pillow under your stomach with ease is invaluable.
Key Features:
- 2 color choices
- 2 size options
- Money-back guarantee
