The reason a U-shape beats a C-shape: it supports both sides at once. When you roll over at 2am you do not have to wake up, drag the pillow across the bed and rebuild the whole arrangement.

Why it works
- Supports five points at once. Head, back, bump, hips and knees, without stacking four separate pillows.
- Holds you on your side. Both arms of the U stay put, so you are supported front and back on whichever side you settle on. Ask your doctor or midwife what sleeping position is right for you.
- Holds its loft. Filled to stay supportive rather than flattening out after two weeks.
- Two covers. Velvet for softness and warmth, cooling for anyone running hot or due in summer.
- Removable cover. Full-length zip, machine washable. Not a given at this size.

Common questions
Will it fit in my bed with a partner?
It is a full body pillow, so it takes real space on a double. On a queen or king there is room for both of you; on a double, expect to negotiate.
Can I use it after the birth?
Yes. Most people go on using it as a feeding support pillow, propping baby at the right height instead of hunching over.
Does it come vacuum packed?
It ships compressed and takes around 24 hours to return to full loft. Give it a day before judging the firmness.
