7.5/10 overall

£44.00

A full U-shaped body pillow that supports both sides of the body at once, so you don't have to flip a pillow when you turn over.

Most pregnancy pillows are C- or J-shaped, which support one side of the body and need to be flipped or repositioned when you roll over in the night. PharMeDoc's U-shape wraps around both sides simultaneously — back support on one edge, front/knee support on the other — so turning over in bed doesn't mean losing your support setup, which matters more than it sounds for the number of times most people shift position overnight in the third trimester.

The trade-off against the more compact Dreamgenii is size: a U-shaped pillow takes up genuinely significant bed space, effectively displacing a partner to the edge of a double bed. For couples with a larger bed, or where the pillow will mostly be used solo, that's a fair trade for not having to reposition. For anyone tight on bed space, the C-shaped Dreamgenii is the more practical fit.

What we liked

  • Supports both sides without needing to flip or reposition
  • Removable, washable cover
  • Doubles as a large nursing/propping pillow after birth

Where it falls short

  • Takes up a large amount of bed space
  • Bulky to store when not in use
  • Not ideal for smaller beds or where a partner needs the space
