🛏️ Pregnancy Pillow vs. Regular Pillow: What’s the Difference?

Published by HerPillow.store | Designed for Real Moms, by Real Moms

Pregnancy brings many changes to your body — and your sleep. If you’ve been stacking regular pillows between your knees, under your belly, and behind your back, you’re not alone. Many moms try this before realizing there’s a better solution: the pregnancy pillow.

So what’s the real difference between a pregnancy pillow and a regular pillow? Let’s break it down.

🛋️ Regular Pillows: What They Can (and Can’t) Do

Regular pillows are great for everyday sleep, but when you’re pregnant, they often fall short.

✔ Provide basic head/neck support

✔ Can be placed under your belly or between your knees

❌ Constant slipping & adjusting through the night

❌ Not designed to support your hips, back, and growing bump all at once

❌ Usually too small to keep you comfortably in a safe sleeping position

In short, regular pillows can help a little — but they weren’t built for pregnancy.
