If you're looking for a quality nursing or pregnancy pillow, this could be a pick for you. Theraline’s Original Pregnancy & Baby Feeding Pillow is a malleable, easy to wash and very comfortable nursing pillow. The microbead filling conforms to the shape of your body during pregnancy, adjusting as your bump grows and body changes. It offers good back support when sitting and really helps with pelvic pain, plus it can used as a nursing pillow.
For mums-to-be suffering pregnancy pains and aches, Theraline’s Original Pregnancy & Baby Feeding Pillow is a godsend. It’s comfortable and can be used in a number of different ways – for support when sleeping, as a back brace or a prop for swollen feet. The pillow is also a great post birth; it’s long enough to support arms, back and baby during feeds.
The cover can be removed and washed, and the pillow’s micro bead filling enables you to shape it according to how you want to use it, and it will remain stable once positioned (like memory foam). As a purveyor of ultimate relief, this product is worth every penny!

Would you recommend this to other mums?
It's a simple yet great design. It's big enough to fit and mould to your personal body shape. With the material used, the pillow is soft in texture and firm in volume making it extremely comfy to use. It makes breastfeeding so much easier and more comfortable. With a removable cover, it's easy to wash and keep clean whilst also giving you the option to buy patterned/coloured alternative covers.
How did this product make your life easier?
It helps support your body making you and your baby more comfortable during feeds. I only wish I had this product during my pregnancy, as any pregnant woman knows that as your body is changing and when you're gradually blooming, it becomes increasingly more difficult to find a comfortable sleeping position, thus meaning many sleepless nights. However, this pillow would have been brilliant to use in bed to help support the baby bump and give good posture when trying to sleep.
Would you choose this product to win?
I believe this is a fantastic product, a necessity to add to your baby list. It is well worth what you pay for, especially if you buy it early to mid-pregnancy, as you can get plenty of use out of it even before your baby has arrived. It's good quality, comfortable and easy to use with a simple yet modern design.
What changes would you make to this product?
The only criticism I have about the Theraline pillow is that due to the nature of the pillow and its size it's not very good for transporting around. Even the packaging it comes in is fairly large so to store it or to travel with it would potentially be a minor issue. Overall though it serves its purpose and is a good value for what you get!
Tested by mum Amy Rudd for the M&B Awards 2017:
Would you recommend this to other mums?
I would highly recommend the Theraline pillow to my family and friends as the different uses you get from the pillow are fantastic. My husband also uses the pillow when feeding and nursing the baby. The pillow is easy to store as it is soft and flexible, the design of the pillow allows for it to be shaped around my body when laid in different positions. The pillow is very easy to use and can be used in different situations and positions.
How did this product make your life easier?
This pillow allows me to have a good night’s sleep as it helps support my bump and supports me to sleep on my left side. The pillow has really helped with my feeding as it supports the weight of my baby and makes feeding more comfortable. Both I and my husband use the pillow to comfort and nurse the baby as it provides that extra comfort for baby and adult. As the pillow helps to support the baby when being fed or comforted it allows for a hand/arm to be free.
What changes would you make to this product?
The only thing I would change about this product is the fact it only comes with one cover. I feel two covers would be beneficial to allow for the pillow still to be used whilst being cleaned. I feel the other features of the pillow don't need changing and I would recommend to family and friends to buy this pillow to see them from bump to birth.
Tested by mum Cadey Ryley for the M&B Awards 2017:
Would you recommend this to other mums?
I really love this product and use it on a daily basis. I have used similar pillows before but they have never been as comfy to use as this one. The texture is really soft and light so easy to manoeuvre for comfort for me and my baby. I also really like that you can remove the cover so it's easy to wash which is important when it's being used for feeding.
How did this product make your life easier?
It makes my life a lot easier because I can position the baby comfortably without having to struggle to prop myself and her with several couch pillows like I used to. I can just wrap this round myself and place the baby upon it, it's not heavy so doesn't make you hot and uncomfortable either. I wish I had purchased one for my first child.
Would you choose this product to win?
The microbeads inside this product to me are different from other similar products on the market. It moulds perfectly to myself and the baby making us both comfy and also takes a lot of pressure of my back. It feels like a really stable, well-made product that you'd expect to weigh a lot but it's so easy to lift I usually can do it with one arm while positioning my baby.
What changes would you make to this product?
The only thing which I'd maybe suggest this product is to offer different lengths. My partner is quite a large framed man and he can't use it when he's holding our daughter as it doesn't go wide enough to go round his frame. Maybe they should produce a range of lengths which it can be marketed in.
Tested by mum Rebekah Maddock for the M&B Awards 2017:
Would you recommend this to other mums?
I would recommend this product because it helped with easing the pain in my legs and hips during pregnancy. It can be put into lots of different positions so can be used by all shapes and sizes. The build and design is of high quality and the removable cover is a great feature. It really helped when breastfeeding as supported baby really well. Great for supporting young babies.
How did this product make your life easier?
It makes life easier as helped me sleep better during pregnancy. It is light so easy to move around and can mould into different shapes. Has been a godsend when breastfeeding, supports both me and baby. Baby finds it very comfortable when feeding and the removable cover makes it easy to keep clean. Really good to support young babies.
Would you choose this product to win?
You can use it during pregnancy and when baby is born. It is a good value for money and the quality is fantastic. It stands out because it isn't like a normal pillow due to the microbead filling, which makes it good to mould into different shapes. It is also good to support young babies.
What changes would you make to this product?
I don't think there's much that would make this product any better. Maybe more cover designs/colours for people to choose from. Or maybe a set containing a smaller pillow as well, so that you could have the small one to support your neck and then you can use the long one under your legs at the same time.
Tested by mum Rebecca Wilcox for the M&B Awards 2017:
Would you recommend this to other mums?
I absolutely love this Theraline pillow and wish I had found it for my first pregnancy and baby. This product is extremely versatile, it can be used by mum, baby or mum and baby. The pillow comes with mixed instructions and guidance (words/pictures) which explains clearly how to use it. It is easy to transport around the house (I had a c-section) and was extremely useful during my early recovery.
How did this product make your life easier?
The versatility of the Theraline pillow makes my life as a mother better, due to the special technology used within the pillow it does not lose its shape like more traditional support pillows allowing for the pillow to be personalised to the user. It can be used for mum and baby, I have found this useful post-c-section for sleeping and supporting myself and baby when breastfeeding in a variety of places and positions.
Would you choose this product to win?
This product is very different to pregnancy and feeding pillows I used in my first pregnancy. Its versatility means it's suitable for mum, during pregnancy as a sleeping aid, post-pregnancy for comfort and support and as a breastfeeding mum this pillow moulds around me and the baby for supported and comfortable feeding. The pillow doesn't lose its shape due to the special filling which moves and changes shape.
What changes would you make to this product?
I think this product is wonderful, appropriately priced, versatile, flexible and extremely user-friendly. I have found this one of the most useful products as a breastfeeding mother as I can mould the pillow to me and my baby in a variety of positions and locations.
