Using a U-Shaped Pregnancy Pillow: Where Each Part Sits

Here is where each part of the shape sits, and what to do before you use it.

It takes room

It takes up real space — a wraparound shape has to. On a queen with a partner, expect it to reach into their side.

Where each part sits

  • Back — one side runs the length of your back
  • Hips — the shape carries past your waist
  • Knees — the other side sits between your legs
  • Legs — and continues down past them

When you turn over

Both sides are the same length, so a single continuous shape works the same whichever way you're facing.

Before you use it

Unpack it and give it 24 hours to expand, with a shake or two along the way. Judge the loft after that, not before.

The honest part

A pillow supports the position you choose — it does not prevent normal movement. And it's support for how you rest, not treatment for how you feel. For questions about pregnancy sleep positions, follow the guidance of a qualified healthcare professional.

Where to go from here

55-Inch vs 65-Inch covers the two lengths, and U-Shaped vs E-Shaped compares the two shapes. It Arrived Flat explains the 24 hours after unboxing.

FAQ

Q · Do I still need my own head pillow?

Most people do. Both sizes cover your back, hips and knees — not your head. Both are built on the assumption you'll keep using your own pillow up top.

Q · 55 or 65?

More coverage, or less footprint. Go 65 if you want the shape to reach further down your legs. Go 55 if you'd rather it took up less of the bed.

Q · It's been a day and it still feels too firm, or too soft. What now?

Open the zip on the inner casing and adjust the fill — out to soften, in to firm up. Each product page explains what's inside.
