Debenhams has made a major price cut on an item celebrated as essential for pregnant people. It’s also being praised by those suffering from neck and back pain, as it helps them get a peaceful night’s sleep without discomfort. The retailer’s Long Bolster Pillow Teddy Fleece Body Neck Pregnancy Support Cushion, typically selling for £40, is now available for a mere £13.99.
Customers have a choice of seven different colour options, ensuring the pillow can be tailored to their personal tastes and complement many different home decor. Crafted from plush teddy fleece fabric, this pillow offers notable support for the neck and head while doubling as a “comforting body pillow to ease tension in your back and hips.”
Measuring an impressive 4.5ft (137cm) long, it caters to a range of people seeking additional support. Pregnancy pillows make it easier to remain in a side-sleeping position, which is the safest position for pregnant women to sleep in (especially by the third trimester). A pregnancy pillow will help you stay comfortable while preventing turning onto your back or stomach overnight.
Although marketed primarily as a pregnancy pillow, the item has also gained praise from people across various age groups who have found it helpful with their back problems. The Mirror reports that online reviews have been quick to pour in, especially as the product now boasts a 65% discount.
Satisfied shoppers have shared their opinions online, with one commenting: “It’s really good quality. It has medium/firm support, which is perfect for me!”
Another customer described it as: “So cosy, comforting, soft and fluffy!” A third wrote: “So warm and cosy so glad I brought this. Would recommend it!”
Someone else’s review highlighted: “I suffer hip pain, and this pillow helps to keep my hip aligned, which gives me great relief so I can get a good night’s sleep. Nice and warm and cosy to cuddle up to on the cold nights.”
However, the product didn’t meet every customer’s expectations. One dissatisfied shopper claimed, “Great for the price but not the best quality or plumpness. It was fairly flat on arrival and hasn’t improved since. I guess you get what you pay for!”
Another buyer expressed their disappointment, warning: “I bought it when the price dropped but not happy with it. It’s too soft and l was expecting it to be firmer. Tried to get comfortable with it, but in the end, l gave up.”
For those still in search of a comfy cushion, alternatives are available at competitive prices. Amazon offers the Nuliie U-Shaped Pregnancy Pillow for Sleeping at £29.99, boasting the convenience of swift delivery within a few days of ordering.
Over at Dunelm, customers can find the Teddy V-Shape Cushion priced at £22. Available in a selection of colours, it measures slightly less in length than the Debenhams option at 84cm so could work for smaller spaces – or for snuggling against in the sofa.
