10 Best Maternity Pillows UK 2024 | bbhugme, Little Chick and More

One of our favourite selections that is filled with polystyrene beads, this pillow will mould to your shape no matter the size of your bump, while keeping you as comfortable and as snug as possible, although its materials (polystyrene beads and a cotton cover) will stop you from overheating!

Moreover, the design of the cotton cover enables you to tie it into a tight doughnut shape for storage when you aren't using it. Although it's a good size for a full body maternity pillow, it will store easily due to its compact shape!

We love this wedge pillow from Little Chick, its shape adapts perfectly to provide some targeted support to your bump while you sleep. Moreover, you will notice a slight curvature on its edge for optimal comfort. 

It fits the criteria for a great wedge, being compact and lightweight. It is sold with a bamboo cover and you can easily store this wedge or take it on the go with you to provide comfort when you need it!

This model from Bamibi actually has two pillows in one - a traditional smaller size pillow that you can use to support your back or head, and a larger body pillow that you can keep under your bump and between your legs to sleep soundly. 

The body pillow has a button at the bottom to clasp it shut into a snug doughnut shape, which can be used once the baby has arrived to keep them safe in a baby nest, just as with the model from Niimo.

Sort of between a full body and a C or U type pillow, this design from Dreamgenii is designed specifically with the idea of keeping a pregnant sleeper in a comfortable position in mind. Although it can be used for both sides, it is targeted to encourage you to sleep on your left side, in the recovery position. 

Although it provides both front and back support, it is more compact than a two-sided C or U type pillow, making it ideal for those limited on space. We recommend looking at the measurements before making your purchase just to ensure that it will fit you and your bump because of its unique shape!

Although not strictly speaking a maternity pillow, this body pillow from Snuggle can definitely be used for comfort throughout your pregnancy due to its ample size and level of support.

It comes with a soft bamboo pillow cover and is filled with shredded memory foam meaning that it will adapt to your shape and movement. We would note, however, that it is dense to the point of being a little heavy to move around, which might be a negative for later stages of pregnancy. 

This U shaped pillow will completely enclose you in its velvety embrace, with a shape that is designed to mould around your body and provide support where it is needed when you're lying back.

We are a fan of the pillow as a fully enveloping option, and it will certainly keep you warm during the colder months. However, if you are looking for a firm option, you may find that you want to purchase additional stuffing for this pillow, and we also note that the cover is a little tricky to maintain. 

This design from Bamibi is designed to take you from the later stages of pregnancy up to the first few months of baby's arrival! A traditional body pillow, you can sleep with it supporting your bump and legs, and then when baby arrives you can use it for nursing or keeping baby stable!

The case comes with a clasp at the bottom to allow you to shape it into a snug doughnut, making a tightly fitting baby nest to stop the baby from rolling around. We love a product that is multi-functional and this pillow fits the bill!

For those looking for something a little more malleable than a traditional polyester filling, we recommend this full body pillow filled with theraline micro pearls, that will fall into place and adapt to your unique shape. 

It has a jersey cotton cover with plenty of stretch. It may be best for people who are naturally side sleepers already, as it can be a little too soft for those who need more encouragement to remember to sleep in the recommended position. 

This maternity pillow will provide support to your tummy and legs specifically with its crescent shape. It comes with a cute star patterned cover, that can be removed and machine washed. 

It is slim, and so will not take up too much space on your bed. Some may find it to be slightly too soft, however, due to the density of the polyester packing. It may be therefore the most comfortable for the later stages of pregnancy. 

This wedge is dense in terms of its filling as it is made of a core of rebound cotton (similar to memory foam) and more classical polyester. Its size makes it ideal for easy storage and it won't take up too much space in bed.

However, we would prefer for this pillow to come with a removable cover as washing it can become complicated. It is also not ideal in terms of its density - probably best for the early stages of pregnancy but might be more uncomfortable as your bump grows.
