During pregnancy all sorts of things change, including the way you sit and lie down. Where you used to plop down comfortably anywhere, it now takes a lot more care. Especially in the second and third trimester, many women look for a position in which they can truly relax, with a book, a tablet or simply a cup of tea.
Why sitting becomes harder work
As your belly grows, your centre of gravity shifts and your body asks more of your back. At some point, lying flat no longer feels pleasant for many pregnant women, and half sitting against a pile of loose pillows tends to collapse quickly. A position in which you sit slightly more upright, with good support for your lower back, is then a relief for many women.
How a reading pillow helps
The Bline reading pillow measures 65 x 45 x 50 cm and is filled with memory foam that moulds to your body. This gives you firm support for your back, while the armrests take the strain off your arms and your book. A handy detail: the side pocket holds your book, phone or tablet, so everything stays within reach when you close your eyes for a moment.
- Sitting upright with support, even when lying flat no longer feels good
- Memory foam that moves with your body
- A removable cover made of 250TC cotton, washable at 30 degrees: nice and fresh
- A side pocket for your book, phone or a bar of chocolate
"I can sleep again"
One of our customers wrote in her review: "I can sleep again. During my third trimester I sometimes felt short of breath." With the reading pillow she found a position in which she could rest comfortably again. Messages like this make us happy, but we stay honest: every pregnancy is different. What works wonderfully for one person may suit another less. That is why you can try the pillow at home for 30 days.
Not a medical device
A reading pillow is a comfort product, not a medical device. If you experience problems during your pregnancy, such as persistent back pain, pelvic pain or shortness of breath, always discuss this with your midwife or doctor. They know your situation and can advise you personally.
Lovely after pregnancy too
The reading pillow remains useful after the birth. Think of sitting upright during night feeds, relaxed reading when your little one is finally asleep, or simply watching Netflix in bed. And because the cover is removable and washable, the pillow moves effortlessly into the new, slightly messier chapter of your life. Many customers order a second cover right away: very handy when the first one is in the wash. When you buy a pillow, you also get 33% off the cover.
The reading pillow is available from 69.99 in five colours: white, beige, blue, grey and black. From 50 euros we ship free of charge within the Netherlands and Belgium. Curious?
