Pregnancy & Maternity Sleep Support
Sleep comfortably through every trimester.
Hip pain, back ache, and that restless feeling of never finding the right position — the Cuddle Buddy was made for exactly this.

Made for every stage of pregnancy
Your body changes fast. The Cuddle Buddy adapts with you — from the first bump to the final weeks.
The tube shape fills the gap between your knees and keeps your hips stacked, reducing the pelvic pressure that builds overnight.
Tuck the pillow under your bump to take the weight off your lower back. Especially helpful from the second trimester onward.
Keeping your knees apart and hips aligned takes pressure off the sciatic nerve — one of the most common pregnancy complaints.
When to start — and how to use it
Getting comfortable early
Many customers start using theirs from week 8–12. Even before the bump shows, side sleeping with knee support leads to better quality rest.
The bump is growing
This is when most customers notice the biggest difference. The Body Pillow supports the belly from below and keeps the hips from dropping.
Getting through the final stretch
Sleep is hardest now. Wrapping the pillow under the bump and between the knees helps enormously. Many say it’s the only way they sleep.
Real reviews from pregnant customers
I am 34 weeks and this pillow has been an absolute lifesaver. I can finally sleep without waking up every hour to reposition. My hips stopped aching after the very first night. I have already recommended it to three friends who are pregnant.
I bought this at 20 weeks and wish I had got it sooner. The hip pain was keeping me awake every night. Now I sleep through.
Third pregnancy and I finally have a pillow that actually works. Compact enough to not take over the bed, supportive enough to make a real difference.
My midwife actually suggested getting a support pillow between the knees. This one is perfect — firm enough to stay in place, soft enough to be comfortable.
The right pillow for pregnancy
Most pregnant customers choose the Body Pillow for full-length support. The Mega is a great option if you want something more compact.
Full-length support from shoulder to knee. Tuck under the belly or wrap between your knees for all-night relief.
Great for targeted knee and hip support. Ideal if you share a bed and want to keep things compact.
Four ways the Cuddle Buddy supports you through pregnancy
Keeps hips aligned
Stacking your knees keeps your hips level, reducing the grinding pressure that causes hip pain overnight.
Supports the bump
Tucked under the belly, it takes the weight off your lower back and lets your muscles finally relax.
Bead filling moulds to you
Unlike foam, the micro-bead filling shifts and conforms to your shape, so it stays comfortable even as your body changes.
Works after baby too
Customers use theirs for breastfeeding positioning, post-natal recovery, and general sleep support long after birth.
Frequently asked
Which size is best for pregnancy?
The Body Pillow (105cm) is our most popular choice for pregnancy. It is long enough to support from your shoulder to your knees. If you prefer something more compact, the Mega (50cm) is excellent for knee and hip support.
When should I start using it?
Many customers start as early as 8–12 weeks. Even before the bump is showing, side sleeping with knee support leads to better quality rest and can help prevent hip problems developing later.
Can I use it after the baby is born?
Absolutely. Many customers continue using theirs post-natally for breastfeeding support, recovery positioning, and general sleep. It is also great as a prop for newborns during tummy time under supervision.
