S.O.S. Sleep-on-Side Pregnancy Pillow

4.5 stars. It is a GAME CHANGER for third trimester sleep when I was waking up on my back and stress about it too much to fall back asleep. I sleep SO well every night and I love that I don’t have a giant bulky pillow between me and my hubby. The only issue which is a major problem is this Velcro on the back support scratches me horribly and woke me up several times the first night until I put a t-shirt over the whole thing to protect myself from the Velcro. Works perfectly since then but a design flaw I wish I didn’t have to fix.

I tried this pillow at about 20 weeks when I started noticing some new aches and pains. Unfortunately, I didn’t love this pillow system. The wedge was tricky to position on the bed to then shimmy into place. Once there, it still didn’t seem to add relief to my small bump. In fairness, maybe people like this more in the third trimester with a bigger bump. Rolling over in bed and having to move the pillow mid-snooze was the deal-breaker for me. I only lasted 4 nights with the pillow and every night it would end up on my floor because I tossed it off the bed in the middle of the night. Now (at 23-weeks), I have the bbhugme pillow and I am SO much happier with it! I love the full-body support and that the firmness is adjustable. It rolls with me in bed. It’s expensive but can also be used to help with nursing when baby arrives. I also hear good things about U-shaped pillows if you have a king-sized bed to fit it. Avoid the SOS Pillow and try something else. .

This is really great! I tried one of the body pillows that wraps all around you, and it was very comfortable but I would still wake up on my back. The triangle part of this pillow is firm enough that it stops me from rolling over in my sleep. This doesn't look like much, but it's comfortable, it works, and I can fit it in my suitcase for our babymoon!
