Why are pregnancy pillows helpful?
Pregnancy pillows can help expecting moms feel more comfortable and supported across their back, hips and bump! They are also great for encouraging safe side sleeping and as a result often one of the first items an expecting mom purchases! As you can imagine, when a mom-to-be's body begins changing during pregnancy, especially into the second trimester there can be quite a lot of discomfort. 85% of pregnant women report having difficulty falling asleep or having disrupted sleep during pregnancy! A good pregnancy pillow can help with falling asleep faster, or staying asleep longer, promoting a deeper, more restful night's sleep.

What sets pregnancy pillows apart from just using regular pillows?
One of the key differences with The Sleepybelly is that it comes with three detachable and adjustable pieces, so the pillow can be easily configured to support an expecting mom in the way which provides them the most relief. Another key difference when compared to regular pillows is that The Sleepybelly is made from a dessicated latex material which is spongier and more supportive than regular cotton or polyester filling; this is designed to prevent back sleeping and encourage the recommended side sleeping position by not compressing to be totally flat when laid on top of.

How can moms-to-be find sleep positions that work best for them and are safe for them and their growing baby?
We get this question a lot! We worked with Jess Kostos from The Mama Physio who helped us by preparing a list of positions that are great for expecting moms using The Sleepybelly! You can find that link here: https://www.instagram.com/p/CZIDicgh3zx/?igsh=dnVoOHBmcHlwd3Zw
