SLEEPING POSITIONS DURING PREGNANCY

Why is side sleeping medically recommended for pregnant women?

After the first trimester, as the baby grows, back sleeping is not recommended as the major vein, the inferior vena cava which follows the right side of the spine, can become compressed by the weight of the uterus.

The inferior vena cava carries blood back to the heart from the lower half of the body. Its compression may compromise the circulation to the baby and your lower limbs.

Side sleeping on the left side is therefore recommended by the medical profession during the second and third trimesters.

The Side Snuggler supports side sleeping during pregnancy

 As your pregnancy progresses your normal sleeping positions will no longer be recommended or comfortable.  Sleeping on your left side will increase the amount of blood and nutrients that reach the placenta and your baby.  The Side Snuggler helps maintain side sleeping throughout the night, ensuring more restful, quality sleep.  The Side Snuggler can also be adjusted to create an elevated sleeping position, recommended to ease many pregnancy discomforts, such as heartburn.

PREGNANCY SLEEPING PROBLEMS & SOLUTIONS

Heartburn & pregnancy

Heartburn can get worse later on in the pregnancy when the growing uterus creates pressure on the stomach. If you have heartburn during the night, you will need to elevate your upper body.

The Side Snuggler pillow will elevate your upper body to reduce your discomfort. Separated support zones with zip access allow you to independently adjust soft polyfill in the neck and head area for the desired height, density and feel to perfectly suit your comfort and support needs. If you need more height try an upper body support pillow or sleeping on a bed wedge.

Shortness of breath & pregnancy

In late pregnancy you may experience shortness of breath as your enlarging uterus takes up more space, resulting in pressure against your diaphragm (the muscle just below your lungs). The Side Snuggler Pillow may offer some relief by elevating your upper body and facilitating a side sleeping position. Separated support zones with zip access allow you to adjust the filling in the neck and head area for the desired height, density and feel to perfectly suit your comfort and support needs. Alernatively, try an upper body support pillow.

Back Pain & pregnancy

The extra weight you carry during pregnancy can cause back pain and pain in you legs, plus your growing tummy will cause spinal twisting when lying especially if it is unsupported.

The Side Snuggler will help aleviate back pain by sleeping on your side.  A pregnancy pillow under your abdomen will also help, as will a pillow between your legs to help align the hips.

Side Snuggler is adjustable to suit any body shape and sleeping prefrence.

Generously filled: Side Snuggler is intentionally overfilled to cater for average to large persons.

For smaller physiques simply delete some of the filling to ensure your head is aligned comfortably for your shape and to help alleviate neck pain.

Create your perfect pillow

Separated support zones with zip access allow you to independently adjust soft polyfill in the neck and head area for the desired height, density and feel to perfectly suit your comfort and support needs.

Specially angled nook cavity allows shoulders to snuggly mould to pillow's form allowing your neck to be supported.

The best of both worlds: Memory foam & polyfill combination

SideSnuggler's pressure-diffusing memory foam spans the full pillow width and blends with layers of super-soft polyfill to cradle the neck and support the head evenly for desired spinal alignment. Luxurious memoryfoam with soft polyfill.

Includes tailored Latte coloured overslip. (champagne satin extra)

For ultimate comfort and beauty rest, optional Charmeause Satin Overslip provides cosmetic benefits.  Satin reduces friction and drag on delicate facial tissue, which can cause facial wrinkles and creases.

A significant aid in the management of pain for patients with neck, back and/or shoulder injuries.

Side Snuggler is great for pain management:

SideSnuggler’s arms support and elevate the injured upper shoulder/arm thus minimising load to the lower shoulder.

The unique nook design provides complete neck support as well as a cavity for the shoulder to move during the night, thus preventing the pillow from being pushed away during sleep, ensuring the spine remains therapeutically aligned.

Helps to alleviate snoring!

Side sleeping is also the preferred position to help minimise light snoring as it allows the soft tissues to fall clear to the airway’s side, thus reducing the chance of soft tissue vibration (snoring sound) from inhaled air, which is more common with back sleeping.
