One continuous shape
One horseshoe, so both sides are held at once
A single continuous shape rather than a set of separate pillows. Your head goes on the curved bridge at the closed end, one arm of the pillow runs along your front and the other along your back, and the open end sits between your knees. Everything is already in place the moment you lie down.
- One continuous U shape, front and back together
- Head, front, back and knees all on the same piece
- Nothing to stack, wedge or line up first
The shape
Contoured inner edges, not two straight tubes
The two arms are not plain bolsters. Their inner edges narrow to a waist about two thirds of the way along, which leaves a keyhole shaped gap between them. That gap is the part your body settles into, and it is what makes the pillow sit around you rather than beside you.
- Two long arms joined by a curved bridge
- Inner edges contoured to a narrow waist
- Rounded, fully filled ends on both arms
Sitting up
Turn it round and it becomes a back rest
Off the bed the same shape works upright. Put the closed end against the headboard and sit inside the horseshoe. The curved bridge is behind your back and the two arms come forward either side of you, so your elbows land on the pillow rather than on the mattress. Same piece, just facing the other way.
- Closed end goes behind you against the headboard
- Both arms come forward as elbow rests
- No second cushion needed to sit up in bed
With a baby
Sit inside it while you hold your baby
With the horseshoe around your waist the two arms come forward across your lap. Your forearms rest on them while you hold your baby, so the weight of your arms is carried by the pillow instead of held up. It is the same job a separate nursing pillow does, on the piece you already have.
- Both arms come across your lap as forearm rests
- Baby rests on the front arm of the pillow
- One pillow instead of a separate nursing cushion
The same bed, set up two ways
Nothing in the room changes. The only thing that changes is what is on the mattress.
- Three ordinary pillows pushed into place, one under the bump and one at the knees.
- They flatten and slide apart, so a gap opens where the pillow was.
- Each one has to be pushed back into place again.
- One continuous horseshoe, laid out once, running from the head down to the hips.
- The same piece runs down the front and the back at the same time, so the top leg has something under it.
- Nothing to stack, and one cover to unzip instead of four pillowcases.
