Both of our best-selling pregnancy pillows are multi-use which means they share some similar functionality. Our Widgey Plus sleep and pregnancy pillow tends to be favoured by women that are struggling to get comfortable in bed at night and are finding their sleep is compromised. Though troubled sleep can be a common symptom in pregnancy, many women find that a long body pillow can help to align the hips and spine, helping to keep you in an optimum position for sleep. What’s more, a pregnancy sleep pillow encourages you to adopt a safe sleeping position by preventing you from rolling onto your back or front. The Widgey Classic pillow (the one that is shaped like a horseshoe) has a firmer composition and it is this pillow that is recommended time and time again by midwives and other obstetric professionals for feeding. Similarly, it is the firmness of this pillow which makes it the preferred choice for women suffering with pregnancy backache. Many women buy both of the pillows to cover all of their pregnancy and feeding needs as we offer nursing pillows, baby pillows, pregnancy pillows, breastfeeding pillows and many more.
Both the Widgey Plus pregnancy and sleep pillow and the Widgey Classic feeding pillow can be washed. Our pregnancy pillows are unique in that both the inner pillow and the outer cushion cover can be washed as we offer the best quality feeding and nursing pillows. We recommend washing on a delicate or wool cycle before hanging out to air dry when the weather permits or in an airing cupboard or near a radiator in colder months. Our pillowcases are removable and machine washable on a warm wash, no hotter than 40 degrees. We offer spare covers for your pillows, so you can always have a cover on your pillow!
Many people ask us why our pillows are more expensive than some of the cheaper alternatives available. The image below is probably the easiest way to see the main differences. The Widgey Classic pillow is also wider than most of the pillows you will find on the market. This offers greater support where you need it most. By providing more room for you to place your forearm and elbow you are less likely to hunch your shoulders while feeding your baby, and therefore, will suffer less neck and shoulder aches. For the best quality pillows to comfort you when you need it most; prices are very reasonable. Widgey Pillows are stuffed with one large piece of filling that is moulded to fit the shape of both the pregnancy pillow and the feeding pillow. This keeps the pillows firmer and allows them to retain their shape for longer by preventing ‘clumping’.
We offer a range of spare covers for both the Widgey Plus Pregnancy Body Pillow and the Widgey Classic Feeding Pillow. These are particularly handy for keeping your pillow clean and hygienic. There will be inevitable spills during feeding time and that’s’ why we always recommend having at least one additional pillowcase for you nursing or feeding pillow so that you can protect your pillow while you wash the other. Our pillowcases are made from super soft cotton jersey so that they are gentle and kind to baby’s delicate skin. We stock a range of pillowcases in our signature star print in a number of colourways as well as a plain grey marl, grey stripe and on-trend monochrome pineapple print. We also have a very cute cow character print. Our spare pregnancy and feeding pillowcases are also useful for parents who like to match their baby products to their nurseries or interior decoration; so we offer you both comfort, high-quality and large variety to choose from to fit to your personal taste.
We are so confident about the quality and performance of our award-winning maternity, pregnancy and feeding cushions that we offer a lifetime guarantee.
