Butterfly Maternity Butterfly Maternity Pillow
A compact Australian-designed bump-and-back pillow for side sleeping that doubles as a feeding cushion.
MamaLoop mums pickWe researched this — not used by usNot sponsored
From 28 weeks the advice is to settle to sleep on your side, and a pillow that supports your bump and stops you rolling onto your back makes that easier. This one is a compact wedge-style design with a front wing for the bump and a back wing behind you, rather than a huge U that takes over the bed. It is one of the most-reviewed pregnancy pillows on ProductReview, where owners mostly praise comfort and how easy it is to turn over. Later it works as a feeding cushion. The trade-offs: it costs more than many full-body pillows, some people find it too small or that it shifts in the night, and a few early ones arrived under-filled.
