As if getting a good night's sleep wasn't hard enough, trying to get rest while pregnant or suffering from back pain is even more challenging — until now.
The PharMeDoc Pregnancy Pillow is a C-shaped full body pillow that supports the back, hips, knees, neck and head, whether you're pregnant, recovering from surgery or experiencing back pain while sleeping. And over 18,000 well-rested customers gave it a perfect five-star review. The pillow normally retails for $110, but you can get it for $48 right now — that's more than 50 percent off the original price.
The pillow is made with 100 percent cotton jersey material that's been double stitched for added durability. The best part is the cover can be unzipped, removed and tossed in the washing machine for easy cleaning. You can adjust the pillow to suit your sleeping style, but you can also use it to sit upright in bed while reading, watching TV or working on your laptop.
This is the perfect gift for pregnant women who often experience discomfort while sleeping, especially during the third trimester due to weight gain and the pressure a growing baby can put on muscles and joints, according to Sleep Foundation. But pregnant women aren't the only ones who could benefit from this versatile body pillow. It's also helpful for those suffering from back and neck pain or recovering from surgery, along with people who just need a little more support while they sleep.
One reviewer says the shape of this pillow stands out against the rest. "The support this shape gives is seemingly unrivaled," the reviewer wrote. "I had purchased a couple of other support-style pillows before this one, but where this one really shines above the others is this: you don't have to maneuver to keep it in place. It's just there. You can elevate your feet, or you can tuck it in between your legs. You can rest on your back, or you can flip to your side (and still have belly support). It's an extremely versatile shape."
Side sleepers could benefit from the added support this C-shaped pillow provides. According to the American Sleep Association, side sleepers should have a firm surface that contours to their body to ensure proper spinal alignment.
Mattresses help with this as well — according to Michael Magnuson, founder of Goodbed.com, “The most important role of a mattress is to hold your spine in a proper neutral position while you're sleeping." But if you're not quite ready to invest in a new mattress, this body pillow might be just the thing to hold you over in the meantime.
One reviewer shared how the pillow has become an essential item with multiple uses in their household: "It quickly turned into a comfy circle-like pillow that my 9-month-old daughter could lie on while watching her favorite kid channel on TV. The U-shape provides extra support on her neck. It also made sleep much more tolerable for my wife who really needs support for her back and her legs at the same time. Oftentimes, I also use it along the wall to prevent my little one from bumping her head..."
This pillow deal won't last long, so add the PharMeDoc Pregnancy Pillow to your cart for just $48.
