We tried a U-shaped pillow first and my husband ended up on the edge of the bed every night. These two wedges hold my bump and my back and leave the rest of the mattress alone. He's back on his side and we both sleep through.
Relvay Hand Massager
Two small wings that connect to each other — one under the bump, one against your back. Because they are strapped together, the set turns when you turn instead of sliding apart — and it does not take over the whole bed.
- ✓Everything stays where you put it — the two wings strap together, so the set turns with you instead of sliding apart at 3 a.m.
- ✓It does not take over the bed — it holds the bump and the back from two small points, so your partner keeps their side.
- ✓You are not trapped inside it — one side stays open, so turning over and getting out of bed do not mean climbing over a pillow.
- ✓It adjusts as the bump grows — the strap sets the distance between the two wings, so the fit changes with you.
- ✓Takes pressure off hips and lower back — support under the bump and behind the back at the same time, on the side you already sleep on.
CHOOSE YOUR SET
This is a sleep-positioning pillow, not a medical device. It is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any condition. If your pregnancy is being monitored for any reason, ask your own midwife or doctor which sleeping position is right for you.
WHY THIS SHAPE WORKS
Two shapes dominate this category and they fail for opposite reasons. The giant U and C pillows hold you by surrounding you — to reach the bump they have to cross the bed, and to hold your back they have to be the thing you are lying against. Ordinary bed pillows are small enough, but they are loose: they slide apart the first time you turn.
The missing piece was never size. It was that nothing held the two halves together. Here the belly wing and the back wing are attached, so they behave like one pillow that happens to leave your bed alone.
SIZE, FILL AND FABRIC
We will publish exact dimensions, fill weight and fabric composition here as soon as we have measured them ourselves and have the spec in writing.
We are not going to publish numbers we have not measured ourselves, and we are not going to call the cover breathable or cooling until we have the fabric spec in writing. That is the single complaint that repeats most across this whole category.
HOW TO SET IT UP
- Lie on the side you already sleep on — either side works.
- Slide the wide wing under the bump, up toward the ribs. Not under your head.
- Bring the second wing to your lower back so it meets you, rather than propping you upright.
- Set the strap so the two wings hold their distance, then leave it. Loosen a notch every few weeks as the bump grows.

Three things change the first night you sleep on it
You stay on your side
The two wings are strapped to each other, so the set turns when you turn. The support you fell asleep on is still there at 4 a.m.
Your hips and lower back stop carrying it alone
The bump is held from underneath and the back is braced at the same time, so the weight is spread instead of loaded onto one hip all night.
There is still room for two
Two small wings instead of one giant loop, so your partner keeps their half of the mattress. You can reach over, and getting up at 2 a.m. does not mean climbing over a pillow.
COMPARE BEFORE YOU BUY
Three ways to hold a pregnant body. One of them leaves you the bed.
Relvay winged pillow
Giant U or C pillow
Two ordinary pillows
*Compared against the two shapes customers say they tried first: full-body U/C pregnancy pillows and ordinary bed pillows.
HOW THIS PAGE WAS WRITTEN
We started from the reviews, not from a catalogue.
Almost nobody finds this category first. They find it second — after a full-body pillow arrives, takes over the bed, and gets folded into a closet somewhere around week 30.
So before choosing anything, we read what people wrote after they had already bought something else. The complaint that repeats more than any other is not about comfort. It is about space, and it is about the pillow moving. One reviewer put the whole problem into a sentence: everything has to stay where you put it.
That is why what we looked for was not the biggest pillow on the market. It was the one where the two halves are attached to each other — and where, if we cannot verify a claim, we say so on the page instead of writing it anyway.

Everything a pregnant night throws at you
The bump has nowhere to rest
(side-sleeping with nothing underneath means the belly hangs off your spine all night)
Hips that ache by 3 a.m.
(the top hip rolls forward and the joint carries the load until morning)
Pillows that slide apart
(the support you fell asleep on is not there when you wake up)
Waking up flat on your back
(nothing behind you, so you drift over - in customers own words, a no-no when pregnant)
Getting swallowed by the pillow
(the U and C shapes surround you, so turning over becomes a project)
A partner on the edge of the bed
(a full-body pillow takes up a whole person’s width of mattress)

Two wings and the strap between them
Why the shape you already tried could not do this — and what changes the moment the two halves are attached to each other.
1. The belly wing
- Sits under the bump so its weight is not pulling on your back
- Small enough to stay inside your own half of the bed
- Goes under the ribs — not under your head
Why it matters:
A side-sleeping bump with nothing under it hangs off the spine all night. Supporting it from below is the whole job.
2. The back wing
- Meets your lower back so you are not drifting flat
- Leaves one whole side of you open
- Does not push your head up the way a stacked pillow does
Why it matters:
This is the part ordinary pillows cannot do. A loose pillow behind you moves the first time you turn.
3. The strap between them
- Holds the two wings at a fixed distance from each other
- The set turns with you instead of coming apart
- Loosen it a notch as the bump grows
Why it matters:
This is the piece people underestimate. Connected, the two wings behave like one pillow. Loose, they are just two pillows again.

HOW TO SET IT UP IN 4 STEPS:
Questions people ask before they buy
Will it fit my bed?
It is built to sit inside one person’s half of the mattress rather than across the middle — that is the entire point of the shape. It holds you from two small points instead of wrapping around you, so your partner keeps their side of the bed.
Will it still work at nine months?
The strap sets the distance between the two wings, so the fit is meant to open up as the bump grows. Loosen it a notch every few weeks rather than buying a bigger pillow.
Is it hot to sleep on?
This is the complaint that comes up most often about every pillow in this category, so we are not going to skip it. Until we have the fabric spec in writing we are not calling anything here breathable or cooling.
Does the strap scratch?
Customers of similar pillows report the fastener catching them when they toss and turn. The strap on this set is meant to be set once and left alone, so it sits between the two wings rather than against your skin.
I am plus size. Will it fit me?
Honest answer: we do not know yet. This is the most under-served group in this category and we would rather say nothing than promise a fit we have not measured. If it does not work for you, the 90-day refund covers it.
Can I still sleep next to my partner?
Yes — that is the reason this shape exists. It holds you from two small points instead of wrapping the middle of the bed.
What position should I be sleeping in while pregnant?
That is a question for your own midwife or doctor, not for a pillow shop. What this pillow does is make the position you have chosen easier to hold through the night.
What if it is not right for me?
You have 90 days from the day it arrives. Sleep on it, decide, and if it is not right for you email support@relvay.com with your order number and we refund you in full. Shipping is $2.50 standard in the US, free on orders over $80.
