From The Manufacturer

When you’re expecting you may notice you need as much support for your growing belly as you do your back. The Back ‘N Belly Original provides equal support for back and belly at the same time. There’s no need to reposition pillows during the night, simply turn from side to side and your body pillow is a custom fit. The inner contours were designed to follow the natural curved shape of your body. The Back ‘N Belly Original comes with a sham-style removable cover.

Expert Reviews


What reviewers liked

Extra Support: Expectant mothers need more support than normal mothers. And this pillow is able to provide that much support needed for your growing tummy, back and hip. You can get support only by turning one side from another.
Leachco makes the Back ‘N Belly Contoured Body Pillow, which provides equal support for the back and tummy at the same time with its hourglass inner curve design, which also helps align hips for better spine positioning.
This body pillow helps align your hips for neutral body positioning that eases the aches and discomforts of pregnancy.
- Heavy
The pillow is light weight and easy to move. Comes with a pillow cover included.
Inner contours for better posture and comfort. Supports the back. Washable cover.
Moms-to-be appreciate that they can switch sides without completely rearranging the pillow, too. As with a few of the pillows on this list, this maternity pillow comes with a removable cover that can be tossed in the laundry with the rest of your bedding.
This pillow is symmetrical and will provide equal support for your stomach and your back, no matter what side you choose to sleep on.
-
It also aligns the hips for neutral joint positioning and ideal for sciatica, gastric reflux, congestion, fibromyalgia, and carpal tunnel syndrome.
There are little ‘wings’ on the inside of the sides, which provides additional support to your weighty belly at all times of the pregnancy period.

What reviewers didn't like

Little bit short for tall person. A bit expensive.
This particular pillow is not machine washable, however, and it weighs seven pounds, making it quite substantial and not easy to move around.
The material in this pillow tends to make some consumers hot while sleeping. As with many body pillows, it becomes somewhat difficult to pry yourself out in the middle of the night if you need to get up and use the restroom.
- Heavy
Limited cover color choice. Allow extra space on the bed for pillow room.
One downside with this pillow due to its size is how although the cover is removable and washable, it is difficult to put it back in place since it has no zipper, so you might ask some help there.
There is another flaw with the pillow that it tends to get a bit warm, no thanks to the 35% cotton, 65% polyester combination in the pillow case fabric.
