U-Shape Full Body Pregnancy Pillow
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.

How we scored it

Comfortable once positioned, though the sheer size takes adjusting to.
Bulk & Washability
How much bed space it takes up and how easy it is to wash and store.
Cover is washable, but the pillow itself is large and awkward to store.
