PERFECT POSTURE: CATCH SOME ZZZ'S

PERFECT POSTURE: CATCH SOME ZZZ'S

Written by: Jess Farmer

Sleep can feel like a distant dream during and post pregnancy. You might find yourself tossing and turning, waking up to pee for the hundredth time, or struggling to get comfortable with a growing bump. The Cushy Puff is here to help—soft, snuggly, and designed to support you through it all.

TRIMESTER ONE: FINDING YOUR FLOW

Your body is working overtime, and you might feel exhausted, sick, or just not yourself. Tender boobs, mood swings, and endless bathroom trips don’t make it any easier. And to top it all off, your hormones are all over the place make sleep unpredictable. The Cushy Puff is perfect for this stage, giving your lower back some much-needed love, offering gentle support where you need it—whether under your belly, between your knees, or behind your back—and helping you settle in for a more restful snooze.

TRIMESTER TWO: THE SNUGGLE PHASE

Now your bump is getting bigger, and side sleeping is a must—but that doesn’t mean it’s comfy. Hips ache, your back might feel the strain, and just rolling over can seem like a mission. Many women also experience round ligament pain, a sharp, stretching sensation as the uterus expands. SI (sacroiliac) joint pain can also start to set in, causing discomfort in the lower back and hips. The Cushy Puff hugs your body, keeping your spine happy, your belly supported, and your knees cushioned so you can find that sweet spot and drift off. Placing it behind your back also helps prevent rolling onto your back, ensuring you stay in the best position for blood flow and comfort.


TRIMESTER THREE:THE FINAL STRETCH 

Sleeping comfortably at this stage? Hmph! Your belly is heavy, your back is sore, and don't even begin talking about leg cramps, restless legs, and constant midnight bathroom trips. The weight of your bump can strain your lower back and pelvis, while shifting hormones contribute to muscle aches and discomfort. Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) can also make it hard to stay still, leading to disrupted sleep. The Cushy Puff props you up just right, easing the pressure, supporting your growing belly, and helping to reduce strain on your lower back, hips, and SI joint. By placing it between your knees or under your bump, you can create a cosy nest that relieves pressure and makes sleeping (and even lounging) a little easier.

TRIMESTER FOUR: A SOFT LANDING

Baby’s here 💕, and now sleep is… well, different. Whether you’re recovering from birth, feeding around the clock, or just trying to grab a moment of rest, the Cushy Puff moulds to your body, offering comfort and support exactly where you need it. It’s perfect for easing postpartum aches, C-section recovery, and even supporting your arms and back while nursing or bottle-feeding. As your body heals and adjusts, the Cushy Puff continues to be your go-to for extra comfort and relaxation.

A SOFTER WAY TO SLEEP

Pregnancy and postpartum come with plenty of challenges, but getting comfy shouldn’t be one of them. The Cushy Puff Pregnancy Pillow is your cosy companion, here to help you rest, recharge, and soak up every moment of this wild, wonderful journey.
