Why you need a pregnancy pillow that's adjustable

When it comes time to choose a pregnancy pillow, also called a maternity pillow or body pillow, it’s easy to get overwhelmed by the many options.

Today, there’s a huge variety of pregnancy pillows with different filling material and different levels of support. These pillows come in many shapes and sizes, targeting certain sleep positions or pregnancy symptoms, like back pain and pelvic pain.

As a mom-to-be, we know that you already have a lot to think about, and when it comes to choosing a pregnancy pillow, all you really want is to get comfortable and finally get some sleep.

Why adjustability matters in a pregnancy pillow

The problem with most pregnancy pillows is that they are filled with materials like foam or cotton stuffing, which provides static, one-size-fits-all support.

However, the truth is that no two bodies – and no two pregnancies – are alike. As your belly grows and your body changes, it can be hard to find a comfortable position for sleep and rest. Sleep challenges can change from month to month, and even from hour to hour. Pregnancy is unpredictable, and new aches, pains, and symptoms can pop up without much notice.

When you buy a pillow with only one level of static support, you might get frustrated when your needs suddenly change, and it no longer provides the comfort you need. This can lead to spending money on multiple pillows that take up space and can only be used for a short time.

One pregnancy pillow designed for all your changing needs

That’s why when the three founders of bbhugme, all chiropractors and moms, set out to design the ideal pregnancy pillow, they focused on making one with adjustable firmness.

Our pillow is filled with ultra-fine EPS microbeads, which mold to the curves of your body for the ultimate pressure-relieving comfort. The pillow features a soft jersey cotton cover, which is intentionally longer than the microbead-filled inner pillow.

The cover is secured in place with our BPA-free silicone Pebbles at each end. By sliding the Pebbles toward the center of the pillow, the inner pillow becomes firmer. By pulling the Pebbles out and loosening the inner pillow inside the cover, the pillow becomes softer.

We know how important sleep and comfort is to your health and well-being during all trimesters of your pregnancy. You deserve a pregnancy pillow that will meet your needs every step of the way.
