Wellness Editors Favorite Sleep Products of 2024
Of all the pregnancy pillows I tested, my favorite was the Frida Mom Adjustable Keep-Cool Pregnancy Pillow. This lightweight cylindrical pillow is filled with microbeads for good airflow and to keep you cool. It is also fully adjustable and can be molded into a U, C, L or I shape. Because it’s moldable, it’s also less in the way if you’re sharing a bed, compared to a full-body pregnancy pillow.
If you don’t like a softer option, this may not be the right choice for you. I found this pillow suited me and my needs best for most of my pregnancy, but it may be more suitable during the second trimester as your belly grows and needs some support when sleeping on your side.
I liked that this pillow wasn’t too big and that you could easily maneuver it as you changed sleeping positions throughout the night. I also appreciated that the pillow did not overheat and stayed comfortably cool all night long. I even caught my husband napping with it once, so if you’re generally a side sleeper, you might enjoy this pillow too.
