Pregnancy is a beautiful journey, but let’s face it—it comes with its fair share of discomfort. From backaches to restless nights, many expecting mothers struggle to get the sleep and support their bodies truly need. That’s where HerPillow Co. pregnancy pillows come in—a game-changing solution for restful sleep, total-body comfort, and prenatal wellness.

💖 Why Every Mom Needs a Pregnancy Pillow
As your body changes, so do your comfort needs. A high-quality pregnancy pillow is more than just a cushion—it’s an essential tool to:
Support your belly, hips, back, and legs
Promote healthy side sleeping
Reduce pressure and swelling
Improve circulation
Prevent tossing, turning, and back sleeping
Enhance relaxation and overall sleep quality
At HerPillow Co., we design our pillows with mama in mind—using breathable fabrics, full-body contours, and machine-washable covers to make comfort easy.

🛏️ How to Use a Pregnancy Pillow (Step-by-Step)
There are several types of pregnancy pillows (C-shaped, U-shaped, wedge, and full-length), and each is used a little differently. At HerPillow Co., our best-selling pillow is U-shaped for full-body support from head to toe.
Here’s how to use your HerPillow Co. pregnancy pillow for the best results:
---
🔄 1. Start Sleeping on Your Side
Doctors recommend sleeping on your left side during pregnancy. This position improves blood flow, reduces pressure on your liver, and supports the growing uterus.
> 💡 Pro tip: If you’re not used to side sleeping, don’t worry! Your HerPillow Co. pillow makes it easy and natural.

🧸 2. Align the Pillow with Your Body
Lay the U-shape pillow along your body so it wraps around both your front and back:
The top curve goes under your head and neck
One side supports your belly
The other side cradles your back to prevent rolling
You can also place the bottom curve between your knees to keep your hips aligned and relieve pelvic pressure.

🪑 3. Use It While Sitting or Lounging
Your HerPillow Co. pillow isn’t just for bedtime! Use it to support your back while:
Sitting on the couch
Reading or watching TV
Working from home
Breastfeeding or bottle-feeding your baby postpartum
The ergonomic design helps reduce strain on your spine, neck, and shoulders.

🌙 4. Adjust for Each Trimester
Your body changes quickly during pregnancy. Here’s how to adjust your pillow as your bump grows:
1st Trimester: Use it as a cozy body pillow or wrap it around your back for light support.
2nd Trimester: Begin sleeping on your side and use the full pillow to support your belly and legs.
3rd Trimester: Maximize full-body use—hug one side while the other cushions your back and hips.
