Premium Sleep & Body Support
The original full-body support pillow — designed for pregnancy, side sleeping, postpartum recovery and everyday hip and back comfort. Trusted by customers across the UK since 2014.
The packaging is really nice and well designed. So much so that I am now using it as underbed storage for my summer clothes. It zips up into a nice storage box shape and keeps everything dust free.
The pillow was vacuum packed but not so much that it was completely flattened like a rock. I did allow time for the pillow to reach its full shape before using and putting into the zip up pillowcase included with the purchase.
I have now been using this for just over a week and I am not disappointed. I suffer with fibromyalgia and struggle to find a comfortable sleeping position so cuddling up to this really helps to relieve the pressure on my legs and supports my body.
I also hurt my back on Sunday and the only comfortable position I could get into whilst recuperating, was using this to wrap around me to support my neck, shoulders and arms whilst resting in bed. It felt like a wrap around arm chair.
This would be a great addition if you need to remain propped up whilst sleeping.
Note, there is less padding in the bottom half of the J shape. I assume this is intentional as it wouldn’t be as comfy between the knees if it had the same amount of padding all the way around.
I decided to try out the J pillow and in just one night I feel so supported. Usually have constant pain while I sleep but oh boy, so glad I tried it. If you love to support your knee while you sleep on your back or to slot your pillow between your knees whilst you sleep on your side . This body pillow is great for you. Head to toe suppprt, you feel cocooned and hugged. Does what it says on the tin. PS the cover is so amazing - got the green leaves one. Love this pillow
Very comfy and has helped me to sleep well since the beginning of my pregnancy. Would highly recommend it.
This pillow has definitely made my sleep more comfortable being pregnant. I would recommend it
It feels great!
I absolutely love this pillow. I suffered with back, hip and shoulder pain due to an autoimmune condition. This pillow gives great support and a great nights sleep. I couldnt be without it now
Just brilliant. ..best thing I have ever bought (and I buy a lot ! )....I'm not pregnant ...I'm a 60 yr young woman who is always having problems with back hip or something that makes me uncomfortable in bed ...but mostly because I share my bed with 10 dogs ! ...who quite frankly are pushing me over to the very edge of my king size bed ....I don't have problems with my husband ...He sleeps in another room ! I've fallen out several times as I'm literally on the edge ! ...saw this pillow and thought ..wow ...that will create a barrier and I might get my half of the bed back ! Well yes it worked ...its wonderful. ..but better still ...It arrived well packaged punched it into shape as it's vacuum packed and put it in the bed ...its huge ! Got into bed and OMG it's the most comfortable pillow in the world ...It is like sleeping in one huge big hug ! I always slept with a pillow between my knees to help hip pain ...This does that easily as the edges slip into place . The top part of the pillow is the shape of a normal pillow and with my duck down pillow on top it's the same as sleeping on two pillows . I can't recommend this enough ...not just for reclaiming your half of the bed from partners or dogs ...but for the comfort .....the pain relief and the brilliant nights sleep and for waking up in the best hug ever .
Good product, value & service.
Use to prevent sleeping with neck at acute angle. Comfortable and nice cover.
Muy cómoda.
Oreiller très confortable, ferme et souple. Excellent produit d'une très bonne marque. Je le recommande volontiers à tous ceux qui n'arrivent pas à trouver d'emblée la bonne position pour la tête.
The wife had her first full nights sleep in what feels like forever so I'm delighted.
I bought this as Id just had surgery on my stomach and was finding sleeping incredibly difficult as I usually sleep on my side and was struggling to stay asleep on my back. This helped me to protect my stomach so I could lay on my side and rest properly as I was incredibly bloated after.I think Id buy one that just goes between my legs and under my belly for night time as this one is giant and takes up the majority of our double bed so wasnt great for both me and my husband in the bed. Id definitely recommend this though, especially if youve had surgery due to Endometriosis.
Great maternity pillow - I started using it around week 16 of my pregnancy and I am now 25 weeks... And I can't sleep without it!!It took me a few days to get used to it but now I love it. This pillow helps me be perfectly positioned in bed: I put one of the "pillow legs" between my legs to help my hips be aligned. The other side of the pillow stays on my back and prevents me from rollick back and lay down on my back at night.the side of the pillow where you place your head does not have much cushioning, so you need to use your own head pillow on top for your head (I read it in other reviews and knew what to expect).One thing I would highlight is that I feel it has lost a little bit of firmness in the 10 weeks I have been using it, but it still does the job. I am so happy wh it that I've been recommending it to other pregnant friends/colleagues.
The product is perfect for my pregnant wife to get a good nights sleep
Full-Body Support
A U-shaped body pillow wraps around your entire body — supporting your head, back, hips, bump and knees simultaneously from both sides.
Most body pillows are vacuum-packed to cut shipping costs. The problem is that vacuum packing crushes and deteriorates the fibres before you even open the box — leaving you with a pillow that flattens quickly and never fully recovers its shape.
Sanggol® pillows are never vacuum-packed. Ever.
Why it matters
Who It Helps
The U-shaped pillow was designed to do more than just support pregnancy. Here's who it helps most.
Supports your bump, hips and lower back from the first trimester through to your due date — helping you maintain a safe side-sleeping position all night.
Read the guide →Keeps your spine aligned, knees separated and shoulders supported so you wake up without the neck, hip or shoulder pain that side sleeping without support causes.
Read the guide →Cradles your body while feeding, resting or sleeping after birth — reducing strain on your back and shoulders during recovery. Doubles as a nursing pillow too.
Read the guide →Keeps your hips stacked, lower back supported and knees separated — reducing the pressure points that cause pain and stiffness when you wake up in the morning.
Read the guide →The wraparound support distributes your weight evenly, reducing localised pressure points that cause pain — helping people with fibromyalgia find a comfortable position and sleep for longer.

Most body pillows look similar online. The difference is in what you can't see — the filling, the packaging, the construction and how long it actually lasts.
Got Questions?
Everything you need to know about U-shaped body pillows before you buy.
Not at all. While U-shaped pillows are popular during pregnancy, they are equally beneficial for side sleepers, people with hip and back pain, those recovering from surgery or illness, and anyone with fibromyalgia or chronic pain who needs full wraparound support. Many Sanggol® customers who are not pregnant use their pillow every night for years.
The Sanggol® U-shaped pillow fits comfortably on a double, king or super king bed. It can work on a single bed but leaves limited space for movement. If you share a double bed with a partner, the pillow will take up a significant portion of the space — many couples find a J-shaped pillow is a better option in that situation.
A U-shaped pillow supports both sides of your body simultaneously — ideal for full wraparound support and pregnancy. A J-shaped pillow supports one side only — better for side sleepers sharing a bed or those who want targeted support without bulk. A C-shaped pillow wraps around your front — ideal for bump support, nursing and postpartum recovery. Not sure which is right for you? Take our free quiz.
You can start using a U-shaped pregnancy pillow from the first trimester. Many women begin using one as early as 8–12 weeks when discomfort starts to affect sleep. By the second and third trimester, when your bump is larger and hip and back pressure increases, a U-shaped pillow becomes essential for comfortable side sleeping.
Absolutely. The Sanggol® U-shaped pillow is designed for use long beyond pregnancy. After birth it supports your body during postpartum recovery, provides comfort while breastfeeding or bottle feeding, and continues to work as a full-body support pillow for everyday sleep. Many customers tell us it becomes a permanent part of how they sleep.
Yes. Hip and back pain during sleep is almost always caused by poor spinal alignment and pressure points. The U-shaped pillow keeps your hips stacked, your spine neutral and your knees separated — eliminating the root causes of overnight hip and back pain regardless of whether you are pregnant. It is particularly effective for people with sciatica, arthritis and fibromyalgia.
Yes. The pillowcase and cover that come with your Sanggol® U-shaped pillow are fully machine washable. We recommend washing at 30–40°C on a gentle cycle. The pillow inner itself should be spot cleaned and aired regularly. Having a spare pillowcase means you always have a clean cover ready — we sell additional covers separately.
Because Sanggol® pillows are never vacuum-packed, the premium goose-down alternative filling arrives undamaged and maintains its loft and support significantly longer than vacuum-packed alternatives. With normal use and regular airing, a Sanggol® U-shaped pillow will remain supportive for several years. Every pillow is backed by our 24-month guarantee when you subscribe to our mailing list.
