Relvay makes a pregnancy pillow. We also tell you below when you should not buy one.
The short answer
The BellaMoon 3-in-1 is a 1.4 m C-shaped pillow in three zip-together parts: a 75 cm centre and two 40 cm ends. For pregnancy sleep you mostly use it whole, as a C.
- Suits you if you like a C-shape and want a nursing pillow later.
- Think twice if you share a small bed.
- The baby uses are a separate decision. Judge sleep first.
Who is the BellaMoon 3-in-1 pillow for?
It is for side sleepers who want a C-shaped pillow around them now and a nursing pillow later. It is less of a fit if bed space is tight or you hoped to use the parts on their own every night.
4:05 a.m.
I was 33 weeks. I had bought the pillow because three in one felt like the smart buy, and I had spent the evening zipping and unzipping the ends to see what I could make. By four in the morning I had used exactly one setup: the whole C, wrapped around me, the same as any other C pillow.
Tom was on the last strip of the mattress, and I had a regular pillow stuffed under my bump on top of it all because the curve ran in front of me, not under me. Three parts, and I still needed a fourth.

A pillow with three uses is only good value if one of them is the one you need tonight.
How do the BellaMoon sections fit together?
Three filled sections join with hidden zips into one C about 1.4 m (55 in) long. The centre is 75 cm (about 29.5 in) and each end is 40 cm (about 15.7 in).
Centre section, 75 cmThe curve of the C. In sleep it runs along your front or your back.
End section, 40 cmZips to one end of the centre. Holds your head side or your knee side.
End section, 40 cmThe same size, on the other end. Unzip both and the centre stands alone.
BellaMoon describes the filling as 100% polyester with a balanced medium firmness, and asks you to massage and plump it by hand when it arrives, because it ships vacuum packed. The covers are organic cotton and come off for washing.
The zips give you options. They do not change how the whole C sleeps.
Which BellaMoon sections would you actually use?
For adult sleep, the maker lists the full pillow as a body pillow and a nursing setup for the mother. The other setups are for a baby, which this review does not cover.
| Setup | Who it is for | Maker lists it? | Our take for pregnancy |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full C, all three zipped | You, for sleep | Yes, as a body pillow and adult sleep pillow | The main reason to buy it |
| Nursing setup | You, after the birth | Yes | A later bonus, not a sleep feature |
| Centre alone | You | Not as a named sleep setup | Your own experiment, no maker guidance |
| One end alone | You | Not as a named sleep setup | Your own experiment, no maker guidance |
| Sitting support, lounger | Baby | Yes, with supervision warnings | Outside this review |
So for pregnancy nights, picture the whole C on your bed. If you like the idea of using a single section under the bump or behind the back, know that you are inventing that setup yourself. It may work, but nothing in what we read tells you how it should sit.
On the baby side, BellaMoon says never to leave a baby unsupervised with its pillow and not to use it for unsupervised infant sleep. If those uses matter to you, read the maker's own guidance on them separately.
What does the BellaMoon cost to live with?
Care is simple and the price is mid-range for a C pillow. Returns and stock depend on the store, and most stockists are in the UK and Ireland.

Patterns change the look, not the pillow. The prints we saw share the same size, sections and care, so pick the one you like.
Is the BellaMoon 3-in-1 worth it?
It is worth it if you want a C pillow now and plan to use the nursing setup later. If you only care about pregnancy sleep, judge it as a C pillow and nothing more.
Reported strengths
- Sections zip apart, covers off for washing
- Organic cotton cover
- Nursing setup for after the birth
Watch out for
- A full C takes real bed space
- No maker guidance for single sections in bed
- Stock and US shipping vary

Three or four ticks? It is a sound pick. For how C and U shapes compare, see C-shaped vs. U-shaped pregnancy pillow.
Charlotte kept the C for nursing later. For sleep she wanted something that held her bump and back without wrapping the bed, and kept a plain pillow between her knees. Tom got his side back.
Frequently asked questions
How long is the BellaMoon pregnancy pillow?
About 1.4 m (55 in) as a C. The centre section is 75 cm and each of the two end sections is 40 cm.
How do the BellaMoon sections attach?
With hidden zips. You can zip the ends off the centre section to change the setup.
Can you use one BellaMoon section on its own in bed?
The maker lists the full pillow for adult sleep and a nursing setup, not single sections for sleep. You can try it, but it is your own setup, without maker guidance.
Can you wash the BellaMoon pillow?
Yes. Remove all the covers and machine wash them at 40°C, then air dry. Check the label for anything specific to your version.
What is the BellaMoon filled with?
The maker lists 100% polyester filling with a medium firmness. It arrives vacuum packed, so plump it by hand before the first night.
If you only need bump and back support
Relvay does not make a C-shaped pillow, a pillow with zip-off sections, or anything for nursing or babies, so this is not a BellaMoon alternative like for like. What we make is a small 3-Piece set: two wedges for the bump and back joined by a strap, used with a regular pillow between your knees.
Two wedges for bump and back, joined by a flat strap, about as wide as your torso. Keep a regular pillow between your knees. $79.99, 90-day returns.
Probably not for you if
- You love sleeping inside a C-shape.
- You want a nursing pillow from the same purchase.
- You want head, back and knees in one pillow.
Made for you if
- You share a full or queen bed.
- You only ever needed the bump and back held.
- You want 90 days from delivery to decide.
