Why is a Pregnancy Pillow a Pregnant Mama’s Best Friend?

Because it’s got your back (literally), plus so much more…


Pregnancy is a beautiful journey, but it often comes with its fair share of physical challenges, especially when it comes to getting a good night’s sleep. For many mamas-to-be, from the second trimester onwards, a pregnancy pillow can be an absolute game-changer. This isn’t just any pillow; it’s a comforting companion designed to support your changing body and help you rest easier. Let’s dive into why a pregnancy pillow is about to become your new best friend and why it will continue to support you even after baby arrives.


The Struggle for Comfortable Sleep


As your baby bump grows, finding a comfortable position to sleep in becomes an increasingly difficult mission. Tossing and turning with standard pillows often just isn’t enough to get comfortable or stay comfortable. Pregnancy pillows, specially designed with your body’s changing shape in mind, offer targeted support exactly where you need it.


The Dreamgenii Pregnancy, Support & Feeding Pillow

Recommended by UK Midwives and Loved by Mamas


Among the many options on the market, the multi-platinum award-winning and patented Dreamgenii Pregnancy, Support & Feeding Pillow stands out as a top favorite especially recommended from 20 weeks gestation.


Unlike bulky pregnancy pillows that take up half the bed, the Dreamgenii moulds snugly to your body without overwhelming your sleeping space - great news for partners sharing the bed!


Its unique design includes:

  • A soft bump cushion providing crucial support when sleeping on your left side

  • A back cushion to prevent rolling onto your back

  • A leg support to comfortably elevate your upper leg, reducing pressure on knees, hips, and the bump


Why Left-Side Sleeping Matters


Sleeping on your left side is widely recommended during pregnancy because it optimizes blood flow between you and your baby, ensuring your little one gets the best supply of nutrients and oxygen. The Dreamgenii encourages this position comfortably and safely, helping you switch easily between sides without fuss.


Supporting Pelvic Girdle Pain (PGP)


If you’re experiencing Pelvic Girdle Pain (PGP) - a common issue affecting up to 1 in 5 pregnant women - the Dreamgenii can be a real relief. PGP causes pain and stiffness in the pelvic joints, making everyday movements like walking, climbing stairs, and sleeping difficult. This pillow supports you in getting into comfortable positions that reduce pain, making those nights a little easier.


Many health professionals recommend products like Dreamgenii to help manage PGP, thanks to its thoughtful design and proven benefits. In fact, it’s the only patented pregnancy pillow recommended by UK midwives.


A Pillow That Grows With You


The benefits of the Dreamgenii don’t stop once baby arrives. This versatile 2-in-1 pillow doubles as a cozy feeding support cushion - perfect for comfortable breastfeeding or bottle-feeding sessions. It truly grows with you and your baby through the early stages of motherhood.


What Mamas Are Saying


Zerin Watkins, a proud Dreamgenii fan, shares:

"This is one of the best pregnancy pillows I’ve ever had. I’ve actually got rid of all my others! It isn’t bulky or space-consuming like some pillows. I would recommend this product to my pregnant friends because it has helped me so much. Super comfy, easy to wash, and perfect for soothing my first daughter to sleep. It really helps keep you on your side."


Joanne Knott adds:

"How I’ve gotten to full term with my third pregnancy and only discovered Dreamgenii now, I do not know! I’ve been using it for a couple of weeks and noticed such an improvement in my sleep. Not only do I fall asleep quickly, but I wake up feeling comfortable."


Available in Style and Comfort


The Dreamgenii comes with super soft, 100% jersey cotton covers in three calming colours - Grey Marl, Beige Marl, and White - to add that extra cozy, snug feeling to your sleep space.

What is Pelvic Girdle Pain (PGP)?


PGP, previously called Symphysis Pubis Dysfunction (SPD), affects many pregnant women at any stage during or after pregnancy. It involves pain and stiffness in the pelvic joints especially the joint connecting the left and right pubic bones. This can lead to challenges walking, climbing stairs, and finding comfortable sleeping positions.
