A pregnancy pillow that is more than meets the eye
Pregnancy pillows try to do everything all at once. An all-surrounding hot mess, pregnancy pillows have become bulky and stiff, taking over the bed and keeping women trapped in one position. The goal for this pillow is to be lightweight and streamlined. Its adaptable shape can target the areas a woman specifically needs (because we are all not the same) while keeping breathability high and temperatures low.

From the outside, this pillow looks like a typical, plush body pillow. But the choice of material and the inner structure tells a story of high adjustability and support.
Materials
Dual sided fabrics:
The stretchy jersey knit nylon fabric allows for high adaptability to the curves of a body. It conforms and cradles. The nylon material is smooth and naturally cool to the touch.
The cotton sateen has little stretch allowing for the pillow to keep its shape. It creates structure and support so that the pillow never falls flat or loses shape. The sateen is a breathable woven that allows for heat to escape.
Innovative filling:
The micro EPS bead filling is plush, adaptable, quiet and lightweight making it easy to lift and adjust the pillow.
Simple on the outside but on the inside is a combination of two pillows working together to create effortless support and comfort.
Rest against the stretchy jersey for conforming comfort or rest against the structured sateen for extra support and propping.
