Review: Kit for Kids Heat Regulating Cuddle Me Pregnancy Pillow to improve sleep

After I ran a competition for a Kit for Kids support pillow last year, one of the pregnant ladies who won emailed me to say how much she loved her prize. It didn’t surprise me. I was already a fan of using a maternity pillow from my first pregnancy.

When I’d made it to 16 weeks then, I went on a shopping spree, feeling I needed some treats after a tough first trimester. For the first time ever Daddy T and I met up in Harrods on a Friday after work, and I came out with large bags filled with maternity tops and trousers, Miu Miu flats, pregnancy-friendly skincare products, and the very important maternity pillow.

I used it up until the very last day of my pregnancy, and it made it so much easier to sleep on the side and cope with the back pain. My only complaint was that I got incredibly warm when sleeping with the pillow in summer. I was pregnant through a couple of heat waves, and I sometimes woke up with a completely wet bed and pillow.

I’ve now been very lucky to receive a sample of the Kit for Kids Heat Regulating Cuddle Me Pregnancy Pillow, and this has a different material from other maternity pillows I’ve seen and it appears to be a much better choice for warm nights. It’s long and I can move it around to find a comfortable sleeping position, and it supports my back, knees and bump. I also like the fact that it’s white and comes with a detachable cover, which is easy to remove and machine-washable.

My new best friend!
