Details
This innovative modular pregnancy pillow system offers targeted support for your bump, back, and hips, helping relieve common pregnancy discomforts such as back pain, pelvic pressure, and hip soreness. The adjustable design allows you to position the pillows exactly where you need them most, supporting comfortable side sleeping — the recommended position during pregnancy.
Unlike large full-body pregnancy pillows, the Sleepybelly system is compact and flexible, so it fits easily in your bed without taking up too much space. The separate support wedges stay securely in place with an adjustable band, giving you customised comfort that moves with you throughout the night.
Soft, breathable covers add an extra layer of comfort, helping you stay cool and cosy while you sleep.
- 1 x Sleepybelly long back support pillow (case included)
- 2 x Sleepybelly side-wedge support pillows (case included)
- 1 x Vacuum seal transport bag
Remember – you’re sleeping for two. Being pregnant isn't always a comfortable experience, especially when it comes to sleeping. Sleepybelly’s award winning, adjustable dual-support design provides support for your belly, preventing the feeling of being pulled forward, while the back support helps stop you from rolling onto your back. This is why Sleepybelly is considered one of the best pregnancy pillows Australia has to offer.
Prevents The ‘Feared’ Back Sleeping Position
After the first trimester of your pregnancy, experts recommend you avoid sleeping on your back. That advice alone can be enough to keep you hyper-aware of your sleeping positions, stopping you from drifting into a restful sleep. The Sleepybelly pregnancy pillow prevents you from rolling onto your back allowing you to rest both your body and your mind.
Adjustable Support That Grows With Your Belly
Your body changes dramatically from your first trimester to your third trimester. Sleepybelly’s unique design is easily adjustable to provide you optimal support throughout your entire pregnancy. You don’t need to buy multiple pillows for each trimester. The Sleepybelly Pregnancy Pillow is designed to adapt through every stage of pregnancy and post-partum as a feeding pillow.
Converts To A Versatile Breastfeeding Pillow
The 3-piece adjustable design allows the Sleepybelly to transition from a comfortable pregnancy pillow into a supportive breastfeeding pillow for both the newborn and infant stages. It can be used to support you, the mother, in the side-lying feeding position, or to support your bub while cradle-feeding, football-feeding and more! Unlike other maternity pillows which are single-use, this clever design means you’ll get longer term use out of The Sleepybelly.

Opening and Fluffing Up Your Sleepybelly
In order to ship the Sleepybelly to you, we vacuum seal the pillow to protect it, as well as making shipping and handling more convenient.
Unfortunately the desiccated natural latex fibres inside the Sleepybelly – used for enhanced support and comfort – don't love this process ?
It is completely normal for your Sleepybelly to need to be fluffed up and aired out for 24 hours after arriving.
The desiccated natural latex fibres used inside the Sleepybelly can often have a strong scent when they first arrive (being pregnant your sense of smell can be elevated, so this may be more unpleasant for some at first). Freshly manufactured natural latex needs time to breathe. Simply open up your pillow, fluff it up and let it air out for 24 hours.
Sometimes the latex has been compressed for a while and requires a little love to get it to its original shape. Don’t worry, this is completely normal and it won’t affect the comfort levels of your pillow!
You may need to give your Sleepybelly a good massage to break apart the compressed sections, then shake the pillow to spread the fibres evenly around the pillow.
24 hours after you’ve fluffed and aired your Sleepybelly it will ready for your first comfortable night’s sleep!
FAQs from the Sleepybelly website -
Sleepybelly has been designed to not just support your belly during your pregnancy but also to reduce the stress of accidentally rolling onto your back during your sleep.
The Sleepybelly is made from premium materials to help ensure a comfortable, more restful sleep.
1. Premium Air-Layer Cover
A removable, breathable and machine-washable cover made with a unique bamboo/polyester blend. Protected with an antibacterial shield to provide you with ongoing quality sleep.
2. Anti-bacterial fabric
The unique weave and treatment of the fabric means that dust-mites and other nasties have a hard time getting comfortable which keeps the Sleepybelly fresher and cleaner for longer between washes.
3. Activated Latex Pillow
Our activated latex cushion provides the perfect balance between support and comfort. The shredded composition provides cooling and anti-bacterial benefits.
Can I wash the Sleepybelly?
Yes, you can wash the air-layer cover in a warm to cold machine wash. We also recommend an additional pillow case so that you don't miss a night of rest while your Sleepybelly pillow case is drying.
The Sleepybelly pillowcase is machine washable. We recommend a warm to cold wash. The pillow itself is not machine washable but is protected by an Anti-bacterial fabric.
Is the Sleepybelly safe for front sleepers?
Yes, the Sleepybelly can be used for front-sleepers. The wedge support for your belly, prevents you from rolling onto your front in your sleep.
Is the Sleepybelly safe for breastfeeding?
Yes, the Sleepybelly can be used for breast feeding after you've given birth. Simply use the wedge support pieces to prop up your newborn while you're feeding.
At what stage in my pregnancy should I buy a pregnancy pillow?
Most mums purchase a pregnancy pillow around the 20-week mark. However, this is a personal choice! One of the unique things about Sleepybelly that sets it apart is that it is completely adjustable. Unlike other pregnancy pillows the middle strap is adjustable so that you can receive optimal belly and back support as your move through your pregnancy.
We recommend purchasing one when you start feeling any discomfort at night or start to worry about sleeping on your back. Osteopaths and maternity healthcare specialists suggest that a pregnancy pillow can be helpful in providing support and comfort after the first trimester.
Is it safe during pregnancy?
Yes the Sleepybelly pregnancy pillow is safe to use during your pregnancy. It provides important back, side and tummy support while the internal latex material molds to your body.
Will my Sleepybelly shrink or stretch in the wash?
The premium air-layer external case of the Sleepybelly is machine washable (recommended on a cold to warm setting) and should not shrink or stretch out of shape. We do recommend not to tumble dry the case after washing.
What is the 'anti-bacterial shield' fabric?
The external air-layer fabric is woven with an anti-microbial fabric making it difficult for nasties like bacteria, mould, viruses and dustmites to cling onto and grow within the fabric. The anti-bacterial shield keeps your Sleepybelly fresher and safer for longer, although regular washing (just like a normal pillow) is recommended.
Our fabric is a Bamboo/Polyester blend and isn’t treated. It gets its antimicrobial protection through the naturally occuring Bamboo Kun which is the natural antimicrobial agent found in bamboo.
Our fabric is also OEKO-TEXT Standard 100 certified, meaning it has been tested to ensure it contains no nasties!
Why is latex better than regular polyester pillow filling?
The shredded latex material within the Sleepybelly's internal cavity provides the best support you can get, along with a host of other benefits.
Sleepybelly's premium internal shredded latex material is:
- Naturally hypoallergenic
- Is denser and heavier allowing you to feel the quality supporting your back and tummy
- Has great airflow for temperature regulation allowing your body to cool itself as you sleep
- Moulds to your growing body, giving you support and relieving pain and pressure
- Lasts longer than other pillows
- Reduces noise, squeaking and rustling in the night
Why does my pillow feel lumpy out of the box?
Often the natural latex fibres don’t exactly enjoy the vacuum seal process required for shipping and can arrive lumpy or clumped together. Don’t worry, this is completely normal and it won’t affect the comfort levels of your pillow at all!
You may need to give your Sleepybelly a good massage and shake to separate the latex fibres within the pillow. It will then puff up and expand over the next 1-2 hours as normal.
