The passionate team behind Australia's trusted pregnancy pillow resource
Pregnancy Pillow Australia began in 2019 when our founder, Sarah Mitchell, experienced firsthand the overwhelming challenge of finding the right maternity pillow during her second pregnancy. After spending countless hours researching online, reading conflicting reviews, and ultimately purchasing three different pillows before finding one that actually worked, she realised there had to be a better way for Australian mums.
What started as a simple blog post comparing the pregnancy pillows Sarah had tested quickly grew into something much larger. Other expectant mothers began reaching out, asking for advice and recommendations. It became clear that there was a genuine need for honest, comprehensive information about maternity sleep products specifically tailored to the Australian market.
To provide Australian expectant mothers with trustworthy, research-backed guidance on pregnancy sleep solutions, helping every mum-to-be find the comfort and rest they deserve during this transformative time.
Today, Pregnancy Pillow Australia is run by a small but dedicated team of mothers, sleep enthusiasts, and health researchers who share a common passion: helping pregnant women sleep better. Our team has collectively tested over 50 different pregnancy pillows, from budget-friendly wedges to premium full-body support systems. We understand the nuances that make one pillow perfect for side sleepers while another might be ideal for those dealing with severe sciatica or pubic symphysis dysfunction (SPD).
We take our testing seriously. Each pillow we feature undergoes a rigorous evaluation process that considers factors like filling quality, cover breathability, ease of washing, durability over time, and most importantly, actual comfort during pregnancy. We consult with midwives, physiotherapists specialising in prenatal care, and sleep specialists to ensure our recommendations are grounded in both practical experience and professional expertise.
Unlike many review sites, we don't simply aggregate Amazon reviews or regurgitate manufacturer specifications. Our team members actually use these pillows during their own pregnancies and recovery periods. We track how pillows perform over months of use, noting how the filling holds up, whether covers remain soft after multiple washes, and how well the support maintains its shape as pregnancy progresses through each trimester.
We also recognise that every pregnancy is different. What works brilliantly for a first-time mum carrying a single baby might not suit someone expecting twins or dealing with pre-existing back conditions. That's why our interactive quiz and detailed comparison tools are designed to match you with pillows suited to your specific situation.
As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases made through our links. This affiliate relationship allows us to maintain this resource and continue testing new products as they enter the Australian market. However, our recommendations are never influenced by commission rates. We've declined opportunities to promote higher-commission products that didn't meet our standards, and we've enthusiastically recommended budget options that offered minimal financial benefit to us but excellent value to our readers.
Our goal has always been simple: to be the resource we wish had existed when we were searching for our own pregnancy pillows. Every guide we write, every comparison we create, and every recommendation we make is driven by a genuine desire to help fellow Australian mums-to-be get the rest they need during one of life's most physically demanding experiences.
We invite you to explore our guides, take our pillow-matching quiz, and reach out with any questions. We're always happy to hear from our readers and learn about your experiences with the products we recommend.
