Relvay makes a pregnancy pillow. We also tell you below when you should not buy one.
The short answer
The Yana 360 Body Pillow is a large U-shaped pillow with a choice of shredded gel memory foam or shredded natural latex fill and a removable cover. It suits people who want full wrap-around support and have bed space and budget.
- Confirm the fill: latex and gel feel and weigh differently.
- Confirm the size: published widths differ between sources.
- Read returns first: full refunds only for unopened pillows.
Which Yana pillow are you actually looking at?
Most pregnancy reviews mean the Yana 360° Body Pillow, a U-shaped pillow sold with two fill options. Yana also sells covers and other pillows, so check the exact name and fill before you compare reviews or prices.

I asked a chatbot for the best pregnancy pillow and Yana was in the answer. Then it was on two best-of lists. By the third mention I almost bought it just because it kept coming up.
Then I noticed something. None of those places had told me what was inside it, how to wash the inside, or what happens if I sleep on it for a week and hate it. Showing up a lot is not the same as being checked.
Being mentioned everywhere is not a test. The listing, the care label and the return policy are the evidence.
What is the Yana 360 made of, layer by layer?
Yana lists the classic cover as 40% bamboo, 30% cotton and 30% polyester velour, and the fill as either shredded natural latex or shredded cooling gel memory foam. Some layers are not described.
| Layer | What Yana publishes | Still to confirm |
|---|---|---|
| Classic cover | Bamboo 40%, cotton 30%, polyester velour 30%. Removable. | Whether the bamboo is viscose or another process. |
| Eucalyptus cover (sold separately) | Tencel Lyocell from eucalyptus, $89 | Percentages and its own care steps. |
| Fill option 1 | Shredded natural latex, sold as firmer and more durable | Weight of fill, any blend. |
| Fill option 2 | Cooling gel memory foam, described as latex-free | Foam certification. None listed. |
| Inner shell and zip | Not described on the product page | Material and whether it opens to adjust fill. |
| Certificate | OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100, number SH025 181998 | Which part it covers. Check the number on the OEKO-TEX label checker. |
If you have a latex allergy, the gel version is the one to ask about, and get "latex-free" confirmed for the cover and inner shell too, in writing.
How big is the Yana pillow, and will it fit your bed?
It is about 55 inches long. Width is where sources disagree: the product page lists 18 inches, while one independent review lists 55 by 28.5 by 8.15 inches and 10 to 16 pounds depending on fill.
The 18-inch figure may describe one arm of the U rather than the whole pillow. Ask Yana which it is before you plan your bed around it.
| Bed (US width) | Your half | A U pillow about 28.5 in wide |
|---|---|---|
| Full, 54 in | 27 in | Wider than your half |
| Queen, 60 in | 30 in | About your whole half |
| King, 76 in | 38 in | Fits with room |
The reviewer who tested it also called it heavy and hard to adjust, and listed couples sharing a small bed among the people it suits least.
How much care does the Yana pillow take?
The cover is easy: Yana says to wash it warm with a gentle detergent, use non-chlorine bleach only when needed, and tumble dry low. The inside is the work: the product page does not give insert care, and one review says the inner shell is spot clean only.
- Routine: wash the cover as needed. A spare cover costs $49 (classic) or $89 (eucalyptus).
- Spills that soak through: plan on spot cleaning the inner shell. Do not put the filled insert in the machine unless Yana tells you it can go.
- Weight: 10 to 16 pounds of shredded fill is a lot to wrestle back into a cover.
- Ask before you buy: can the insert be aired, topped up or opened?
What do Yana's return terms mean for trying it?
Yana offers 45 days, but a full refund only applies to unopened, unused pillows, which it defines as still vacuum-sealed. Once you open it, the best case is a partial refund minus a $20 restocking fee for body pillows.
You also pay return shipping, and the original shipping is not refunded. Damaged items reported within 15 days with photos can be replaced. In practice, you cannot sleep on it for a week and get all your money back.
That is not unusual for filled pillows, but it changes the decision. Confirm size, fill and care before you cut the seal, not after.
What do reviews and best-of lists really show?
They show that some reviewers like its firm, dense support and washable cover, and that size, weight and price are the common drawbacks. They do not show independent lab or clinical testing.
- Liked: firm, supportive feel that still bends; removable cover; two fill choices.
- Watch for: large footprint, heavy, hard to reposition, $199 or more.
- Disclosures: the review we read says it receives free products and earns affiliate commissions.
Yana's own page calls side sleeping "the doctor-recommended position" and says the pillow eases pressure on joints and improves circulation. No study is linked for the pillow itself. An AI answer that repeats a best-of list is repeating that list, not testing the pillow.
Who is the Yana pillow a good fit for?
It makes sense if you want a big U pillow that wraps you front and back, you have a queen or king bed to spare, and you are happy to confirm size and fill before opening it.
| If you need | Yana 360 | Consider instead |
|---|---|---|
| Full wrap, both sides, big bed | A reasonable candidate | Other U pillows at lower prices |
| Latex allergy | Only the gel version, confirmed in writing | A pillow with a full written material list |
| Full or small queen bed | Likely too wide | A smaller C pillow or a compact wedge set |
| A real sleep trial | Opened = partial refund only | A seller whose window covers opened pillows |
Monica, in the end, wrote down the width, the fill and the return rule for her top three, and dropped two of them before she opened anything.
Frequently asked questions
Is the Yana pillow good for pregnancy?
Yana designs and markets the 360 Body Pillow for pregnancy and reviewers like its firm U-shaped support. Whether it is good for you depends on your bed width, budget, any latex allergy and whether you can accept its return terms.
What is the Yana pillow filled with?
You choose between shredded natural latex and shredded cooling gel memory foam. Yana describes the gel version as latex-free.
Can you wash the Yana pillow?
The cover, yes: warm wash, gentle detergent, tumble dry low. Yana's page does not give insert care, and one review says the inner shell is spot clean only. Ask before washing the insert.
How big is the Yana 360 pillow?
About 55 inches long. The product page lists 18 inches wide, while one review lists 28.5 inches wide and 8.15 inches thick. Confirm with Yana which measurement is the overall width.
Can you return a Yana pillow after sleeping on it?
Not for a full refund. Full refunds within 45 days are for unopened, vacuum-sealed pillows. Opened, undamaged pillows may get a partial refund minus a $20 restocking fee, and you pay return shipping.
If a big U pillow is not right for your bed
Relvay makes a different kind of pillow, so treat this as an option, not a comparison win. If the Yana's width, weight or price is the problem and you mainly need bump and back support, a small strapped wedge set is the other direction. It does not wrap your knees or head, and you keep your own knee pillow.
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.
Stay with a U pillow if
- You want head, knees, bump and back in one piece.
- You have a king bed or sleep alone.
- You want something to hug.
Look at a wedge set if
- You share a full or queen bed.
- You mostly need bump and back support.
- You want a return window that covers opened pillows.
