Bellybean Maternity Pillow (page 3 of 4)

So comfortable for a usual tummy sleeper! I put a normal pillow between my knees and there is no pressure anywhere! My lower back used to hurt all the time and this completely stopped it. I still toss and turn but it's easy to because you don't have to rearrange the belly bean every time. Worth the money!

I had terrible pelvic pain since my belly got bigger, bought a body pillow and also put pillow around my waist but didn't help. Bellybean is a life saver!! I read all the positive reviews here but I doubted what this small pillow can do to help my pain and I was wrong! I shouldn't have waited so long before getting this pillow!! It's so easy to move the pillow around my belly and my back to the correct position, you don't have to bring the whole pillow with you when you switch side, and the best thing is the pillow is washable, it'll become fluffy again once you washed it. I used bellybean combine with my body pillow and my pelvic pain was gone!! Highly recommend this pillow to all pregnant women!!

I was really struggling with throbbing hip and glute muscles, I got to 20 weeks pregnant and started trying everything, not being used to sleeping on my side before, this was a big change for me. We bought an extra thick mattress topper for our bed, a faux sheep skin to sleep on for the hip area, did a few sessions at an osteopath, did yoga and stretching, extra pillow between my legs (pillow would always end up on hubby side of bed!), all i can say is thank goodness i gave this a whirl. It seems to somehow take the pressure off my hips and red...

I got this pillow around 20 weeks pregnant I am now 32 weeks pregnant and have been sleeping amazing and a lot of has to do with the pillow! So amazing and comforting, love resting my bump and having some back support.

I used a body pillow for my first pregnancy but my hips became a problem in my second and I was turning over every 40 minutes all night. Trying to roll over with the body pillow and rearrange the bedding was tedious and painful. The belly bean was great for me as you don't need to move it during the night. My sister in law has a bad back from a car accident and found it helpful too. The cushions aren't overly stuffed which suited me as I'm only 159cm.
Doesn't need moving during the night.
Cost but definitely worth it

I was one of the lucky 'Popped out from 5 weeks onwards' pregnant ladies. Now, 2 days from 40 weeks pregnant, and this is still the single BEST purchase (regardless of price) I made. It's supported my tummy and back throughout the entire pregnancy, and ensured sleep. Later in the pregnancy, due to reflux (oh THAT's fun...) I added a few extra pillows to my back and neck to prop myself up on an angle, and again, the bellybean worked wonderfully with this set up. I really can't recommend this enough, it's fantastic!
Don't need to move it in your sleep, supportive, easy to clean, easy to use

I absolutely love my new Bellybean! I'm currently 27 weeks with bub # 2, and only wish I had had this through both of my pregnancies.

The cushions on either side are not so stuffed with padding that it makes your bump uncomfortable, and the flat part in the middle makes it super easy to roll over in the middle of the night without having to take a whole body pillow with you. I also love that it prevents me from sleeping flat on my back, which was waking me up at night before I got my Bellybean.

Expensive? Yes. But totally worth it.
Soft, comfortable, easy to roll over, prevents back sleeping
Haven't found anything yet

8 months after having my baby, I am still using this pillow! It really helped me especially in the last months of pregnancy...I found it a bit too warm (live in all year round,hot, humid, tropical weather) if used for sleeping on my back cushioned between the pillows....just as well...as you're not encouraged to sleep on your back in the 2nd and 3rd trimesters. Really great for belly support for side lying position. I never got sore backs and slept well in the night all throughout the pregnancy.....not sure if its completely attributed to the p...

I bought a belly bean which arrived about 15 weeks into my pregnancy. It was such a wonderful product and made a huge differnce. By the end of my pregnancy I was dragging it everywhere with me, even using it when sitting on the couch as it made me so much more comfortable.

I have read some reviews about the belly bean loosing shape or not beng large enough for the late stages of pregnancy. I am about 5.9 and my daughter was 3.66kg on delivery (just above average)I used the belly bean all the way though and even took it to the delivery. I wa...

I had high hopes for this feeding pillow, going by all the positive reviews on the Bellybean website, I bought this pillow initially to use whilst I was pregnant & to use it in bed as my heavy bump would hurt my back in some positions & I wasn't getting good sleep...this pillow didn't help at all! It wasn't shaped right, the whole point of the two joined circles is that the shape is meant to be beneficial (somehow!), no matter how you position it, whether you use one or both of the circles, in any position. It didn't work, i could never get com...

unfortunately I was hoping for a somewhat larger pillow that provided more support. I found it quite ineffective. I bought the bellybean pillow as it was a good price and seemed to look like what I wanted. However for my second pregnancy I bought another much larger pillow and felt that it was more supportive.

I love it! I bought it after I read all the reviews on this website. And yes, this is a life safer. I can just turn around without having to carry my pillow with me, it really improved my sleep. The only thing is that I think it's overpriced for what is. In the end, it's only 2 pillows connected together.
Comfy
pricey

Before using this pillow I was waking up during the night in agony from pain in my hips. I tried using other pillows, but found they were too bulky and didn't stop me from rolling onto my back.

The Bellybean pillow was EXACTLY what I needed - it isn't bulky, it supports my back so I can't roll over onto it, and also allows me to kind of sleep on an angle, so that I'm not constantly putting all weight onto my hips.

It doesn't interfere with my husband's sleep and it doesn't overheat your body during the night.
compact, not bulky, good support, posted extremely quickly
A bit expensive, but worth every cent!

I bought the bellybean maternity pillow after searching for a pillow to help me sleep. At almost 6 months pregnant now, I am having trouble sleeping and constantly have a sore back and am unable to get comfortable at night.

I found the bellybean does provide some back support, and prevents you rolling onto your back at night but the front section of the pillow doesn't do anything for me other than pushing onto my belly and making me feel ill and hot. I've been using it for a few weeks now, persevering in the hope that my body would get used...

I eyed off the BellyBean for several weeks before finally giving in and purchasing it. I did find it quite expensive and that's why we didn't purchase it straight away. I had been sleeping very badly, rolling onto tummy and having a very sore lower back so I decided to give it a shot. I was impressed for a few weeks but after 35 weeks my belly was large I still felt like I was squashing the baby just as much as if I was straight on the mattress. I find it lost it's shape (middle part lengthened) but perhaps with a wash and dry it could compact ...

Being smaller framed, once pregnant I started waking up to a sore back, neck, legs...you name it! I saw an advertisement for the belly bean in a magazine, and thought I'd give it a try. Best investment I made for myself! Gone were the nightly spasms, the back pain etc. Also, it didn't take up lots of room in the bed.

Often, we think about the baby and everyone else around us. I know this was a little on the expensive side, but I felt that I really needed to spoil myself, and if it worked, then......and it did! Much better than the whole bod...

When I first got this, early in pregnancy, I was very happy with it despite the exorbitant cost. It helped keep me very comfy at night and was not as hot as a body pillow. Half-way through the pregnancy though, I was already too big to lie with it on each side, I felt like it squashed me and my belly - and I'm a petite person and I wasn't carrying twins or anything. Wanting to get use out of still, I took the cushions out of the cover, and used one in front and one at the back - but it's a hefty price for two 35cm round cushions that I could ha...

The Bellybean has been great, stops me from rolling on my back, gives support to my bump and really locks me in to position when going to sleep.

My husband brought me a body pillow when i first fell pregnant, which i hated and have only ever used twice, i heard about belly bean from a friend and decided to get one and try it, i haven't slept without it since it arrived! Even took it on the plane where it was a god send DH used one end and i used the other to get some much needed sleep! I slept without it last night because i forgot to peg out cover and had the worst night sleep!
Would recommend this to every pregnant woman!

Nice and compact and easy to travel with, the Bellybean maternity pillow is fantastic as you don't have to move it when you roll over.

It fits snugly under your tummy and back, supporting them while you sleep and stopping those pains and aches that are common in pregnancy. I received this a couple of days after being crippled with a muscular sprain in my side. It saved my sanity! I woke up the next morning virtually pain free.
Compact, don't have to move when you roll over, provides instant comfort. Easy to wash.
A bit more expensive than other pillows on the market

A perfect compact pillow that is supportive for tummy and back at the same time. Loved it after first use.
does not take up to much room in the bed.
small enough to take traveling.
easy to remove cover for washing.
practical and useful.

It is a good alternative to a body pillow as you can use it for leg support as well as cuddle it (ideal for tummy sleepers like me who need that feeling of security but haven't been able to sleep on their tummies since week 15!).
Versatile... I didn't like having my tummy rest on it as I felt squashed, but instead I use one section between my legs and I cuddle the other section.
I was a bit disappointed at first as I found the pictured way to use it wasn't comfortable, but once I realised I could use it more like a body pillow without the heat I was happy.

As soon as I saw an ad for this in a pregnancy mag I knew it was exactly what I was looking for. Being forced to sleep on your side isn't the best, and I was wanting to avoid that 'dragging' feeling of the weight on my middle as I got bigger. I like to tuck the other side behind my back for that added support. You can also use it to put one half between your knees and have the other half under your belly. It also saves having to move a pillow from side to side if you turn a lot.
Versatile. They also shipped it really quickly.

Has made my sleeping experience during late pregnancy 110% better and reduced my hip and back pain during the day substantially. Bought product second hand so didn't have the high cost for new. Haven't tried other maternity pillows so can't compare but I am very happy with this one.
lightweight, can take travelling, washable cover, supports you when you roll over either way or onto your back and stays in position all night, not bulky and hot.
expensive if buy new

Highly recommended if you are having problems sleeping on your side at the end of your pregnancy. I have lent mine to friends and they all loved it too.
I love sleeping on my back but obviously couldn't towards the end of pregnancy, so this product was perfect for me. I found it to be comfortable and didn't take up a lot of room so there was room for nubby in the bed!
A bit expensive, but I still would buy it.
