Our team reviewed dozens of pregnancy pillows to find organic and nontoxic options that are comfortable, supportive, and safe for you and your growing baby. These are our top picks.
Counting sheep or counting kicks to the bladder? Anyone who’s been pregnant knows the difficulty of getting that much-needed sleep during those crucial months. From the increased movement (it’s practically science that fetuses love midnight karate) to the diminishing real estate (oof!), it’s almost impossible to get comfy enough for a full eight hours by the third trimester.
According to a 2021 study, pregnancy pillows can improve sleep quality, especially if you’re new to side sleeping. While they aren’t a silver bullet, pregnancy pillows can offer significant support to a pregnant body. Since side-sleeping is an ideal position for optimal circulation, getting that extra support for your neck, hip alignment, and growing belly is essential.
Why consider nontoxic or organic pillows?
Unlike traditional box store pillows, organic pregnancy pillows are made with nontoxic materials and free from harmful chemicals, so you can focus on getting quality rest for yourself and your baby. That’s right: organic and nontoxic means no off-gassing or strange smells (or weird fillers). Quality materials also offer more support, as they are crafted carefully and, sometimes, even made to order by smaller brands.
Our methodology & criteria:
- ORGANIC | Each of these brands uses non-toxic and organic materials for pregnancy pillows — no toxic chemicals or off-gassing!
- COMFORT | Comfort is key — our editors have personally tested these pillows and scoured online reviews to find the best of the best so you can have optimal comfort during your pregnancy.
- PRICE | Each of the brands we’ve included offers a fair value for the pillow’s cost. We considered durability, longevity, and ease of cleaning. These pillows can last beyond pregnancy and make great body pillows for after pregnancy, too.
- SOCIAL GOOD | The brands below have a variety of social good and environmental initiatives and are brands we love to support.
While you’re probably busy stocking up or creating a registry of essential items for your new baby, don’t forget about yourself: here are our favorite organic maternity clothes, nursing bras, and the best natural prenatal vitamins.

1. Bearaby
Best For | An ergonomic body pillow for before, during, and after pregnancy
Nontoxic & Organic Materials | GOLS-certified Melofoam™, GOTS-certified 100% organic cotton cover
Price | $199–$328
From one of our very favorite weighted blanket brands comes this squishy ergonomic body pillow—perfect for before, during, and after your pregnancy. Called “The Cuddler,” Bearaby’s newest innovation is made of GOLS-certified Melofoam™ (basically an all-natural rubber foam that is soft and conforming). What we love most is that, in addition to the white organic cotton cover, you can select covers in warm and cozy colors to match your bedroom or baby nursery. The only downside (which isn’t really a downside) is that it’s quite large at 75” x 8” — our editors wish they could carry it with them everywhere!
Customer Review | “So pleased I finally purchased this. I was intimated by the high cost and after months of looking – I finally decided I was worth this. The best purchase. While I don’t sleep with this, I do use for lounging. It supports my joints- hips, shoulders and back. I don’t get up off the sofa aching. The versatility and lots of different shapes you can make this into. Very supportive- a perfect blend of support and softness.Highly recommend!” – Kathryn P. (Read all reviews.)

5. Yana
Best For | Neck & back pressure relief pillow
Nontoxic & Organic Materials | Bamboo, cotton, natural latex

The Yana 360° Body Pillow is one of those pillows that actually does what it promises. Its U-shaped design supports your whole body at once, which means less shifting around at night and more consistent comfort. It also helps take pressure off your neck, back, hips, and knees, and during pregnancy, that full-body support can make all the difference when side sleeping feels like a struggle. You can have your pick between a cooling gel fill if you tend to sleep hot or natural latex if you want something a bit more supportive — both options are made with OEKO-TEX certified materials that are free from harmful chemicals. With a soft, washable cover and a shape that holds up over time, Yana is an easy, low-maintenance upgrade for better sleep when you’re expecting.
