As a mom-to-be, we know that you already have a lot to think about, and when it comes to choosing a pregnancy pillow, all you really want is to get comfortable and finally get some sleep.
At bbhugme we offer both a Pregnancy Pillow and a Nursing Pillow. Below, we will explain the differences between our two products and how their unique features can help you through these exciting (but often uncomfortable) times.
The Pregnancy Pillow was the first product developed by bbhugme. Our founders, three female chiropractors, couldn’t find a good enough body pillow to help the pregnant women they treated, so they decided to develop a pillow that offers the perfect combination of comfort, support, and adjustability.

While many pregnancy pillows are filled with foam and come in a bulky, static shape, the bbhugme Pregnancy Pillow is filled with pressure-relieving microbeads that allow you to customize the pillow to the shape and firmness your body needs, whether you're sleeping or sitting.
As a full-body pillow for side-sleeping, the pillow offers unique 5-point body support in the most critical areas: belly, lower back, pelvis, knees, and ankles. You can also use it in U, J, and L-shapes depending on the support and comfort you need.
Many moms also find that the bbhugme Pregnancy Pillow provides great support for feeding. The long length makes it easy to wrap around your body to support you on all sides and brings your baby up to the level of the breast. The size also makes it great for feeding older babies and twins!
However, if you want a dedicated nursing pillow that's smaller and more portable, keep reading to learn more about our Nursing Pillow.
Following the success of the Pregnancy Pillow, bbhugme’s founders decided to design another pillow that is smaller, more portable, and designed specifically for feeding. As mothers themselves, they understood the need to be able to comfortably feed your baby anywhere and anytime.
The bbhugme Nursing Pillow is both smaller and narrower than the Pregnancy Pillow, which makes it easy to transport in its travel bag, whether that’s on an overnight trip or just a walk to the café.

In addition, our Nursing Pillow can be tied around your waist by securing the fabric ends behind your back. This allows you to bring the pillow and your baby up to the correct height on your body, which is important for establishing a good latch (if you’re breastfeeding) and for reducing the strain on your shoulders and neck that can be caused by hunching over. The extra-long fabric ends make the pillow suitable for many different body types.
Both our Pregnancy and Nursing Pillows feature adjustable firmness. By sliding the two Pebbles, you can make the pillow as firm or as soft as you need. With our Pregnancy Pillow, this allows you to adjust your support as your body changes. With our Nursing Pillow, the adjustable firmness allows you to adapt the pillow depending on your feeding position and what's most supportive for you and your baby.
Both our Pregnancy Pillow and Nursing Pillow come with a removable, washable cover and two Pebbles for adjusting the firmness. To help keep your bbhugme pillows fresh and extend their longevity, we also offer extra Covers and Pebbles in a range of beautiful styles and colors.

As a mom-to-be, we know that you already have a lot to think about, and when it comes to choosing a pregnancy pillow, all you really want is to get comfortable and finally get some sleep.
Why adjustability matters in a pregnancy pillow?
The problem with most pregnancy pillows is that they are filled with materials like foam or cotton stuffing, which provides static, one-size-fits-all support.
However, the truth is that no two bodies – and no two pregnancies – are alike. As your belly grows and your body changes, it can be hard to find a comfortable position for sleep and rest. Sleep challenges can change from month to month, and even from hour to hour. Pregnancy is unpredictable, and new aches, pains, and symptoms can pop up without much notice.
When you buy a pillow with only one level of static support, you might get frustrated when your needs suddenly change, and it no longer provides the comfort you need. This can lead to spending money on multiple pillows that take up space and can only be used for a short time.
One pregnancy pillow designed for all your changing needs
That’s why when the three founders of bbhugme, all chiropractors and moms, set out to design the ideal pregnancy pillow, they focused on making one with adjustable firmness.
Our pillow is filled with ultra-fine EPS microbeads, which mold to the curves of your body for the ultimate pressure-relieving comfort. The pillow features a soft jersey cotton cover, which is intentionally longer than the microbead-filled inner pillow.
The cover is secured in place with our BPA-free silicone Pebbles at each end. By sliding the Pebbles toward the center of the pillow, the inner pillow becomes firmer. By pulling the Pebbles out and loosening the inner pillow inside the cover, the pillow becomes softer.
We know how important sleep and comfort is to your health and well-being during all trimesters of your pregnancy. You deserve a pregnancy pillow that will meet your needs every step of the way.
