How to Choose A Pregnancy Pillow<\/h2>\n

A high-quality pregnancy pillow is a great investment. But there\u2019s no point rushing and buying just any pregnancy pillow you can find! To get the most of it, you want to make sure you are getting the best one that fits your needs and lifestyle. Here are some important things to consider when choosing a pregnancy pillow:<\/p>\n

Type<\/strong><\/h3>\n

As mentioned, pregnancy pillows differ in styles.<\/p>\n

Wedge pillows<\/strong><\/em> are the most popular ones. The greatest advantage of a wedge pillow is it doesn\u2019t take much of space. It also makes a perfect traveling essential for pregnant moms. The downside however, is it only supports a small portion of your body and you still need additional pillows (especially for your head) for better comfort.<\/p>\n

Full-length pregnancy pillow<\/strong><\/em>, on the other hand, runs along the length of your body. It can either be straight-type or flexible. With a full-length pillow, you can sleep comfortably without the need for an extra pillow. The downside is that it takes up more space in your bed and is not ideal for back sleepers.<\/p>\n

Modern pregnancy pillow designs feature total body support \u2013 they can either be U-shaped<\/em> or C-shaped<\/em>. These types require no additional pillows, support more areas including the head, neck and legs, and are are more comfortable to use. They are the most expensive type of pillows however.<\/p>\n

Prioritize safety and comfort<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The best pregnancy pillow should be soft enough to give you maximum comfort but at the same time, firm enough to provide better support. Consider looking for a pillow that has the ability to change its shape to support your body and your baby\u2019s weight. Also, the changes your body go through during pregnancy may cause you to be more sensitive to allergens. If you have asthma or allergy sensitivities, a hypoallergenic<\/em> pillow<\/em> may be best for you.<\/p>\n

Consider the size of your bed<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Another important thing, the pillow should fit to your bed. If your pillow is too big, chances are, your hubby will be sleeping on the couch! Take your preferences too. Some women like smaller pillows while others enjoy the snuggly feel of big ones. Choose the one that suits you.<\/p>\n

Consider your body size too<\/strong><\/h3>\n

U-shaped pillows are great for women bearing twins and those who have larger bellies, while C-shaped pillows are ideal for plus-sized mommies. While a larger pregnancy pillow is okay, many petite women prefer pillows that they will not swim in.<\/p>\n

The filling<\/strong><\/h3>\n

What\u2019s inside your pregnancy pillow determines the level of comfort and support you will receive. Pregnancy pillows make use of varying types of filling. The best fillings available today are hollow fiber<\/em> and expanded polystyrene<\/em>. Both of them are hypoallergenic<\/em>, retain their shape, resistant to mold, mildew and germs, waterproof, and do not absorb smell. Organic fillings<\/em> are available too. If you want to keep your pregnancy as natural as possible, pregnancy pillows featuring organic fillings are a great option. Additionally, your pillow shouldn\u2019t have any smell or make screeching sounds.<\/p>\n

Pregnancy pillows are no ordinary pillows. They are scientifically designed to give you and your baby better support and comfort while you sleep, which all benefit the physical, emotional and psychological aspects of your pregnancy. But pregnancy pillows are not created equal. Truly, there are a few that stand out because of their quality and innovative design. With these tips however, you\u2019re likely to find the best pregnancy pillow that will give you the best support and comfort.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
