The second most common is the other way round: behind the small of your back, either in bed or propped in a chair, which is where a lot of people end up using it postpartum.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is also the one piece of sleep kit that fits in a hospital bag, so it tends to get packed even by people who already own a full-length pillow.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn sleeping position: ask your doctor or midwife what is right for you. We're not able to give medical advice, and guidance on sleeping position in pregnancy is something they should be answering, not a product page.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eChoosing regular or plus\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwo sizes. Regular is the standard cushion. Plus gives you a wider surface, which suits a bigger bump, a longer torso, or anyone who wants to use it more as a back support than a bump support.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you are torn, plus is the safer choice: a slightly larger cushion is easy to position, and a slightly small one gets pushed out of the way at 3am. There is no measurement table on this page because we don't have dimensions for it that we can stand behind, and we'd rather say that than invent them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo sizes: regular and plus\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRemovable cooling cover\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne shape, no left or right\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eMaterials \u0026amp; care\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCover is removable and machine washable.

If you want support while you're standing and walking rather than lying down, that's a belly band, not a pillow.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCommon questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill it stay put when I turn over?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt moves with you rather than staying where you left it, which is the trade-off for something this small.
