Side Sleeping During Pregnancy

As your body changes during pregnancy, the way you sleep can change too.

For many women, side sleeping becomes the most comfortable position, and from 28 weeks it is the recommended sleeping position during pregnancy. The right pillow height can help keep your head and neck comfortably supported, while adjustable height gives you flexibility as your body and sleeping position change.

Good neck support can also help reduce shoulder and upper-back tension by keeping the head and neck in a more neutral position while you sleep.

The Posture Form Pillow is made with breathable NexGen memory foam, is suitable for both side and back sleepers and can be adjusted to better suit your body type and preferred sleep position.

Support for Hips, Knees and Lower Back

Extra support around the body can make side sleeping feel more comfortable during pregnancy, especially when hip pain, lower-back discomfort or sciatica are affecting sleep.

The Peanut Pillow is useful for more targeted support, including behind the lower back. The Big Peanut gives you more surface area and is especially useful between the knees, under the legs or around the hips.

Positioning support between the knees or along the legs can help maintain more comfortable hip and pelvic alignment, relieve pressure through the lower body and reduce unnecessary twisting through the lower back.

For anyone who does not want a full-length pregnancy or body pillow taking up most of the bed, both Peanut sizes offer a more compact and easy-to-position alternative.

These pillows can also remain useful after pregnancy for nursing, recovery, lower-back support and ongoing hip or leg comfort.

FAQs

What type of pillow is best during pregnancy?

There is no single pregnancy pillow that suits everyone.

For side sleeping, it can help to have the right pillow height under your head and neck, plus extra support between the knees, under the legs or around the lower back depending on where you need more comfort.
What is the best pregnancy pillow for side sleeping?

For side sleeping, look for comfortable support under your head and neck as well as around your hips, knees and legs.

The right combination can help support neutral spinal alignment, reduce muscle tension and make side sleeping more comfortable as your body changes.
Is the Posture Form Pillow suitable during pregnancy?

Yes. The Posture Form Pillow is suitable for side and back sleepers and has adjustable height, making it easy to personalise to your body type and sleep position.

Good head and neck support can also help reduce neck, shoulder and upper-back tension during pregnancy.
Should I put a pillow between my knees when sleeping on my side during pregnancy?

Many side sleepers find a pillow between the knees more comfortable because it helps support the legs and hips and can reduce pressure through the pelvis and lower back.

The Big Peanut is well suited to this because its larger shape gives you more surface area between the knees and legs.
Can a pregnancy pillow help with sciatica?

A support pillow can help make sleeping more comfortable when sciatica is affecting your hip, lower back or leg.

Placing support between the knees, under the legs or around the hips can help reduce twisting and pressure through the lower body, although the best position will depend on what feels right for you.
What is the difference between the Peanut Pillow and Big Peanut Pillow?

The Peanut Pillow is smaller and better for targeted support, including behind the lower back.

The Big Peanut is wider and gives you more surface area, making it especially useful between the knees, under the legs or around the hips while side sleeping.
Is the Big Peanut a pregnancy pillow?

It was not created exclusively for pregnancy, but its larger curved shape makes it a popular option during pregnancy.

It gives you targeted lower-body support without the size of a full-length body pillow.
Do I need a full-length body pillow during pregnancy?

Not necessarily.

Some people prefer a full-length pregnancy pillow, while others find smaller pillows easier to position, cooler and less bulky in bed. The Peanut and Big Peanut give you more compact options.
Can a pregnancy pillow help with hip or lower back discomfort?

Pillows can provide extra cushioning and support around your hips, knees, legs and lower back, which may make side sleeping feel more comfortable.

The best position depends on what feels right for your body.
Can I keep using these pillows after pregnancy?

Yes. The Posture Form, Peanut and Big Peanut pillows can continue to be useful after pregnancy for sleeping, nursing, lower-back support and recovery.

Their smaller, repositionable shapes also make them easier to keep using long after pregnancy than a full-length body pillow.
