BASICS: I bought my Dreamgenii early on in my second trimester after I was beginning to find sleeping uncomfortable, mainly because of sciatica. I purchased it from Mamas and Papas for £45, which is probably at the top end of what they retail for (especially once the £5 postage is included) - more out of laziness than for any other reason. M&P took a nightmare 4 weeks to deliver it, but that's another review.... The Dreamgenii is marketed as a pregnancy support and nursing pillow (more on the latter later...) that's non-bulky, doesn't restrict movement or take up half of the bed whilst supporting bump, back and knees.

Having gone through my first pregnancy without a hitch and I naively thought that all my pregnancies would be like that. Wrong! I fell pregnant with our second son and by the 20 week mark I'd already had enough! I'd been diagnosed with sciatica and I permanently felt in agony, everywhere hurt! My hips and pelvis in particular were causing me trouble and it was impossible to get comfortable in bed. I spotted the dreamgeniii in Mothercare on offer, down from £45 to £39.99 and I'd heard positive things about it so thought it was worth a try. My poor long suffering husband was that fed up of my moaning that even he agreed that it was worth £40 to get me to shut up. ...  Read the complete review

As you grow during your pregnancy you will find it harder to get comfortable in bed. With this in mind once I entered second trimester I treated myself to this pillow. The pillow is in a y shape with a small amount of padding at either side at the top which should support your back and keep you in the best position. The tail of the y is used to support your bump and knees. Ideally you should sleep on your left side as this promoted better blood supply to the baby. As I was quite small size 8-10 pre pregnancy the small amount of top padding was sufficient to keep me in place. Now I am in third trimester the padding is fairly easy to roll over. ...  Read the complete review

The dreamgenii Pregnancy Support and Feeding Pillow is designed for helping both with restful sleep in pregnancy, and more comfortable support for you and your baby whilst feeding postnatally. How does it claim to aid pregnancy sleep? - The dreamgenii pillow is designed to support you whilst you sleep on your left hand side, which is thought to help with optimal foetal positioning (getting your baby into a good position for an easier labour), and also to aid blood flow to the placenta. It does this by having two supports - one for your back, to prevent you rolling over onto you back or right hand side, and another for your bump. There is also a longer piece ...  Read the complete review

I bought this pillow from Mothercare for about £40, as a mixture of back ache and pelvic pain from SPD was making it extremely difficult to sleep. I'm really glad I bought this pillow. So far it hasn't lost it's shape or padding and definitely helps me to get comfortable. The curved front section tucks nicely under the bump to stop the weight from pulling down on it and becoming achy, and also curves through between my legs - which helps to keep my hips in line and also helps to keep me cool by stopping my legs from touching. Because the pillow is flexible the curved bit between your legs can be moved to be as high up as the top of your thighs, or can be left ...  Read the complete review
