Testimonials
“Just had the most wonderful night's sleep after getting the Dreamgenii pregnancy support and feeding pillow. My husband is also pretty pleased, as I didn't push him out of the bed with my usual huge collection of random pillows and cushions. I think this pillow is going to be my new best friend for the next few months. It's even coming to the hospital with me! ”

“1) There are lots of pregnancy products that you can live without but this is NOT one of them. I just wish I had got it sooner. As soon as you have a bump you need one! You are supposed to get used to sleeping on your side (better for the baby in the later stages) and this fantastic pillow helps you stay comfy all night whilst supporting your hips (by resting between your legs) and your growing bump (by providing a ledge to snuggle against) and preventing you rolling on your back (with the padded extension which gently encourages you back onto your side). It takes up less room in the bed than any set of improvised padding that you could set up yourself, and was certainly the one thing that let my husband and I continue to share the same bed beyond 6 months! I was so fidgety before, but this has been a great help, even in these last few generally uncomfortable days I can get a good night sleep. Highly recommended !!!
2) Well worth the money to get a good night sleep. The back, bump and leg part provides good support and molds and flexes very easily to fit exact the support you want that night. Much better than the large pillow I was trying to use before to do the same thing
3) I bought this for my first pregnancy and i loved it. Began using it from 4 months till the day i gave birth. Many a nights i would have slept properly only because of this pillow. I had a huge tummy and this pillow supported it and legs very well. I would recommend an additional pillow cover to be bought (even though i did not) so that it will be easy to use the pillow while one is being washed.
4) I bought this for my 7 month pregnant wife who has found it to be a blessing when trying to get comfortable in bed. The 'side' pillows are supportive for the 'bump', while preventing her from rolling over on to her back while sleeping.We weren't sure how easy it would be for her to turn over from one side to the other due to the 'tail' pillow section, but it has proved not to be a problem at all.We would definitely recommend this product to others
5) I found this pillow really useful. It makes sleeping at night much more comfortable and stops me rolling onto my back. It also isn't too bulky so doesn't take up too much space in the bed!

“My new dreamgenii pregnancy pillow arrived yesterday and I have had the most refreshing nights sleep for several weeks and for the first time I woke on my side, what a wonderful, comfortable design!”

“Ive been using the dreamgeni pillow for a couple of months now and its just so easy and comfortable to use, I wish I had discovered it with my previous pregnancies!
Prior to using the pillow, I was tossing and turning a lot at night, finding it hard to get comfortable in bed with my ever growing bump!
The dreamgenii helps you to have a sound nights sleep by supporting your bump, and preventing any problems caused by lumpy mattresses, it prevents you from rolling about onto your front or back too. It encourages you to sleep in the optimum position for pregnancy, encouraging maximum blood flow to the baby.
The longer part of the pillow is great for stopping my knees from rubbing together and becoming sore from lying on my side.
It is quite bulky, and does require some co-operation from my partner as it does take up half the bed-but hes just glad that Im not waking him contantly during the night anymore by shuffling around so it is worth it!
The dreamgenii can also be used as a nursing support pillow-Im really looking forward to using it for that purpose too and shall let you all know how I get on with that one in a few weeks once baby decides to put in an appearance!
All in all though, as a pregnancy pillow I would certainly recommend it, its simple to use, fantastic quality and its made a massive difference to me sleepwise. It deserves top marks!”

“I wholeheartedly believe in the overwhelming benefits of the 'Dreamgenii' and have started giving them as gifts to my friends (including midwifery colleagues). Each one of them has commented on how well they can now sleep after using the pillow and how they too plan to give them as gifts to friends or recycle them. I would have no hesitation in recommending the 'Dreamgenii' pillow to friends/clients/midwives alike. ”

“This is one of those items you don't realise how much you need until you have one!!”

“I was given this pillow by my midwife to try out during my last pregnancy, having suffered previously from severe SPD. My middle daughter immediately renamed it 'flag pillow' because of it's unusual shape..but don't let the dream genii's looks deceive you; it really does help with the sleep discomfort that is so common in the late stages of pregnancy.”
“This pillow has given me the best night's sleep since I became pregnant. At first I thought it was a bit expensive but well worth the money - would recommend it to all pregnant women.”
“I was very impressed with the pillow and the extra comfort you get. You get a good posture to sleep in. Definitely worth every penny. ”
“The dreamgenii pillow works brilliantly well, making breastfeeding much easier by supporting the baby at the right height. I found breastfeeding really tough to begin with and the pillow made a big difference to my success. The little maternity pillow supports your lower back and anchors it so doesn't slide about, like the crescent-shaped pillows. I'm still using it several times a day, every day and my son is over 8 months old now. This would be at the top of my list of presents I”
FROM Client AD
“I was overweight before I became pregnant, but by 3 months I had already grown a fair bit bigger. I found it really hard to get to sleep and even harder to get comfortable and kept waking throughout the night.
Finally I couldn't take any more & bought the DreamGenii Pillow. It's the best decision I've ever made & I seriously couldn't live without it now.
I'm normally quite a restless sleeper at the best of times, but I now find I hardly move about and tend to sleep throughout the night (I'm now 5 months pregnant).
It's such a simple design, but works perfectly. It is seriously everything you could need. I know of others who have gone for the wedge pillows, but they find them harder to use as their bumps get bigger.
I would honestly recommend this to any mum, whether first or fourth timer!”

“Review: dreamgenii Support Pillow
.
Natalie writes
Just over two weeks ago, I admit to squealing in excitement when I saw that my dreamgenii Support Pillow had arrived. I know a number of people that love this pillow and with quite a few uncomfortable nights under my belt already in this pregnancy combined with early backpain, it was all I could do not to race up to bed and go to sleep there and then. It was just after 1pm
What is it?
The dreamgenii Support (and feeding pillow) is a revolutionary support pillow that aids restful sleep by supporting your back, tummy, and legs and encourages you to sleep on your left side and discourages you from rolling onto your back. You can use it as a nursing pillow once your baby is born but for this review, its purely from the support angle as I'm still pregnant! Its won a lot of awards and is even recommended by midwives.
Who is testing it?
Moi, almost 5 months pregnant with second child, slim framed, already with quite a protuding bump which I am carrying all to the front. I am a bit of a mover in the bed and dont like to be too hot.
Setup
Straight forward. You lie on the back support with the long bit in front of your tummy and then tucked between your legs (around the knee).
In use
Normally it takes me a while to settle, but the first time I used it, I was literally asleep in minutes as I seemed to be wrapped in this snuggly cocoon. It was the best nights sleep Ive had for ages! Its funny but even though I still shuffle around a bit, I very quickly got used to moving the leg support in a seamless fashion. Baby 2, like the bambino though, does love kicking like a maniac when I first settle myself onto the pillow
I realised that although I have quite a bump already, I must be really slight as I dont cover all of the back support so I do find that I need to pull it in behind me a bit. The pillow is soft, yet firm and so far it doesnt make me feel too hot. Ive had over two weeks of brilliant sleep and very long lie-ins at the weekend. Deeeeeep sleep!
Before this pillow, I seemed to find that I could not go to sleep on my left - now its the only side I settle to sleep on. I do still slip onto my right side occasionally and it actually feels very comfortable still. It scores extra brownie points for being surprisingly compact - it doesnt hog the bed unlike the boyf (tee hee). Its also a very good pillow - I am leaning against it in bed right now The bambino loves it too and sits enveloped in it - my friends child loves hers too!
Any negatives?
With this kind of sleep, you must be kidding me! I fell asleep for three hours yesterday afternoon when I should have been working. It was like I was drugged (I wasnt) but it was a fantastic deep sleep!
