Any pregnant woman who years to sleep stomach down will love the convenient cutout design of the Back & Bump Cozy Bump Maternity Pillow.
You are probably not going to spend an entire night sleeping on the Back & Bump Cozy Bump Maternity Pillow, as doing so would be something of a balancing act and would require zero position adjustment to boot. But for the pregnant woman looking for temporary relief of lower back pain or who just wants to enjoy the feeling of resting face down for a little while, this unique pregnancy pillow is a great purchase.
The body-length inflatable pillow features a large cutout circle offset above the middle its 72-inch length, and into this hollow space goes a pregnant belly. Thus the woman can lie face down in the same position she enjoyed for all those years when she wasn't growing a new human in her womb.
The Cozy Bump Maternity Pillow is great for use while an expectant mom watches TV, reads, gets a massage, or just relaxing for a while. As noted, it's not a great choice for use in bed at night, because of the risk of rolling off and because, unlike other pregnancy body pillows, this one doesn't allow for any uses but the facedown prone position.
But the pillow has been evaluated and approved both by OB/GYNs and chiropractors, and is a great choice for occasional daytime use. Note that you will need to procure an air pump separately, or else plan to really develop your lung capacity.
One woman who got the Cozy Bump Maternity Pillow at 32 weeks of pregnancy said it provided her "instant back relief," while another said she "truly recommend[s] this for any woman that desperately misses tummy [rest during] pregnancy."
Today called the Cozy Bump Maternity Pillow a unique way to try to "relieve lower back pain," while an All About Baby's World said it can also help ease hip and pelvic pain.
Pros: Allows for stomach down resting, relieves back pain, packs down small when deflated
Cons: Not suitable for all night slumber, some units suffer from tears and punctures
