Boppy Side Sleeper Pregnancy Pillow
Best for: Small beds, couples, travel, anyone overwhelmed by a U-shape
The compact one — bump and back support from two small pillows, for people who refuse to surrender half the bed.
Full U-shapes solve pregnancy positioning by burying you in pillow. The Boppy Side Sleeper takes the opposite approach: two connected pillows joined by a stretch center panel that sits at your bump and your back, encouraging side sleeping without a wraparound. It's the cheapest and most portable option here, and the panel is designed to stretch as the bump grows. Cotton-spandex slipcover and shell are both machine washable.

How our prices work
We show the price at our recommended retailer as at our last check of that offer (2026-11-10) and, when Amazon reports one, its list price for comparison.

Frequently asked questions
Does it really keep you on your side?
It supports the position rather than enforcing it — a pillow at the bump and one at the back make rolling supine less comfortable. The recurring complaint is that the stretch panel loosens overnight and the pillows drift, so expect to reposition.
Boppy Side Sleeper or a full U-shape?
Bed space decides it. A U-shape gives more total support but takes half a queen; this gives targeted bump-and-back support and leaves room for a partner. If you're already sleeping badly because of a crowded bed, compact wins.
Will it work after pregnancy?
Less than a U-shape or a straight body pillow — the two-pillow shape is specifically about bump-and-back positioning. Boppy sells separate feeding pillows for the postpartum phase.
Is this the product involved in the Boppy recall?
No. Boppy's 2021 CPSC recall covered newborn loungers, a separate product line that was permanently discontinued. Pregnancy pillows were not part of that recall.
