Pregnancy is an incredible journey, but as your body grows and changes, getting comfortable at night can become a little more challenging.
Your bump gets bigger, your sleeping positions change, and you may start noticing more pressure through your back, hips, knees or pelvis. A supportive maternity pillow can help you create a more comfortable sleeping position by giving your body extra support where you need it most.
But with so many different pregnancy pillows available, how do you know which one is right for you?
At Growbright, our maternity pillow range is designed to provide targeted support throughout pregnancy - whether you need support for your bump, back, hips, knees or your whole body.
Why use a pregnancy pillow?
As pregnancy progresses, finding a comfortable sleeping position can become increasingly difficult. Side sleeping is commonly recommended later in pregnancy, but simply lying on your side doesn't necessarily mean your body is properly supported.
A pregnancy pillow can help support your changing body by filling the gaps between your body and the mattress, helping you settle into a more comfortable position.
The right pillow can be used to support different areas, including:
-
Your growing bump
-
Your lower back
-
Your hips and pelvis
-
Your knees and legs
-
Your entire body
The key is finding the right level and type of support for your body.
1. Premium Body Support Pregnancy Pillow
Best for: Full-body support
If you're looking for one pillow that can support you from head to toe, the Growbright Premium Body Support Pregnancy Pillow is designed to do just that.
This full-length pillow can be positioned in different ways depending on where you need support most. Place it in front of your body to support your growing bump, behind you to provide back support, or between your legs to support your hips and knees.
Its supportive Ergofill inner provides cushioning while still giving your body support, while the soft TENCEL™ and spandex cover is designed to feel comfortable against your skin.
Try it:
Place the pillow along your front and tuck it between your knees for a cosy, supported side-sleeping position.

2. Belly Support Pregnancy Pillow
Best for: Supporting your growing bump
As your bump grows, you may notice a feeling of pulling or heaviness when lying on your side.
The Growbright Belly Support Pregnancy Pillow is specifically designed to gently support your bump while side sleeping. Its memory foam capsule filling provides soft but supportive cushioning, and the fill can be adjusted to change the height and firmness of the pillow.
Position it underneath your bump while lying on your side to help provide additional support where you need it most.
Try it:
Lie on your side and position the pillow underneath your bump, adjusting its height until your belly feels comfortably supported.

3. Knee Support Pregnancy Pillow
Best for: Hip, knee and leg support
Sometimes it's not your bump that's making sleep uncomfortable — it's what happens further down your body.
When side sleeping, placing a pillow between your knees can help keep your legs in a more comfortable position and provide additional support around your hips and knees.
The Growbright Knee Support Pregnancy Pillow is ergonomically designed to sit comfortably between your knees while helping support alignment through your legs and spine.
Try it:
Place the pillow between your knees while lying on your side, keeping your hips and knees comfortably aligned.

Which pregnancy pillow is right for you?
Still not sure which one to choose? Think about the area where you need the most support.
| If you want to... | Try... |
|---|---|
| Support your whole body | Premium Body Support Pillow |
| Support your growing bump | Belly Support Pillow |
| Support your hips and knees | Knee Support Pillow |
And remember - you don't necessarily have to choose just one. Some mums find that combining pillows gives them the flexibility to support different areas of their body as their pregnancy progresses.
For example, our Belly Support + Knee Support Bundle combines targeted bump support with a knee pillow, while the Premium Body Support + Belly Support Bundle provides both full-body and dedicated bump support.
Your comfort can change throughout pregnancy
One of the most important things to remember is that your body isn't going to feel the same throughout pregnancy.
What feels comfortable at 20 weeks might feel completely different at 30 or 35 weeks. Your bump continues to grow, your preferred sleeping position may change, and you may find that you need more support in different areas.
That's why having a maternity pillow that can adapt to your needs can be so useful.
Whether you need a little extra support under your bump, between your knees, behind your back or around your whole body, the right pillow can help make your sleep space feel a little more comfortable.
Create your most comfortable sleep setup
Pregnancy comes with enough changes - your bedtime routine doesn't need to be complicated too.
Start by thinking about where you're feeling the most pressure or discomfort, then choose your pillow based on the support your body is asking for.
From targeted bump and knee support to full-body comfort, Growbright's maternity pillow range is designed to help you feel supported as your body grows and changes.
Because growing a little human is hard enough. Getting comfortable shouldn't have to be.
