Sleeping Mum’s Guarantee

Your first night with your new Sleepybelly

  • August 23, 2022

Opening and fluffing up your Sleepybelly for the first time.

In order to ship the Sleepybelly to you, we vacuum seal the pillow to protect it, as well as making shipping and handling more convenient.

Unfortunately the desiccated natural latex fibres inside the Sleepybelly – used for enhanced support and comfort – don't love this process 😞

It is completely normal for your Sleepybelly to need to be fluffed up and aired out for 24 hours after arriving.  

The desiccated natural latex fibres used inside the Sleepybelly can often have a strong scent when they first arrive (being pregnant your sense of smell can be elevated, so this may be more unpleasant for some at first). Freshly manufactured natural latex needs time to breathe. Simply open up your pillow, fluff it up and let it air out for 24 hours.

Sometimes the latex has been compressed for a while and requires a little love to get it to its original shape. Don’t worry, this is completely normal and it won’t affect the comfort levels of your pillow!

You may need to give your Sleepybelly a good massage to break apart the compressed sections, then shake the pillow to spread the fibres evenly around the pillow. 

24 hours after you’ve fluffed and aired your Sleepybelly it will ready for your first comfortable night’s sleep!

(Hint: the vacuum seal bag is also perfect for packing away your Sleepybelly if you’re travelling or putting it away into storage).

Choosing your configurations

One of the things our customers love the most about the Sleepybelly is how versatile it is. We suggest trialling a few different configurations over the course of 2-3 weeks to find what works best for you.

We’ve also found that what works best for our mums-to-be in the earlier stages of their pregnancy changes to a different configuration later in their pregnancy. Check out The Mama Physio’s guide to pregnancy pillows here.

 

Sleepybelly laying on bed with labels of which part supports your belly or back

1. Dual wedge configuration - for those who like to roll and side sleepers

This position provides belly support for those who like to sleep on both sides.

2. Long back support with belly support - for back sleepers

This position works best for those who wake up on their back in the night. The long back pillow prevents you from rolling completely onto your back in your sleep but allows you to lay so that you’re not completely on your side - which tends to be uncomfortable for back sleepers.

3. Long back support with belly support - for those with sore back or hips (pelvic girdle pain)

This position is great for the side sleeper as it provides belly support, back support and provides support between your knees to help with back pain or hip pain.

Queueing While Pregnant

Queueing While Pregnant

Standing in long queues can be tough during pregnancy due to increased weight, swelling, and fatigue. Prioritising comfort and rest is essential for your wellbeing and your baby’s health. Polite, respectful phrases can help you confidently ask for a seat, making those waits less stressful. Most people are understanding when approached kindly.

Carrying small essentials like a portable folding seat, compression socks, supportive footwear, and a pregnancy support belt or pillow can significantly ease discomfort while waiting. Planning outings to avoid peak times, using priority services, bringing a support person, and practicing deep breathing are effective ways to manage queueing stress.

Sleepybelly’s maternity products, including their award-winning pregnancy pillow and soft pyjama set, provide practical comfort designed to support your changing body throughout the day and night.

Tiny-Space Pregnancy Comfort

Tiny-Space Pregnancy Comfort

Living in a one-bedroom or studio apartment during pregnancy can be challenging, but thoughtful layout tweaks can create a comfortable, supportive space. Prioritizing ease of movement and reducing strain helps both your wellbeing and your baby’s health.

Creating a dedicated relaxation nook with supportive cushions and multi-functional furniture maximizes comfort without crowding your space. Using items like the Sleepybelly Pregnancy Pillow offers adjustable support for your bump, back, and hips.

Sleepybelly’s maternity products are designed for compact living, providing practical comfort that fits perfectly in tiny spaces. With these simple changes, you can enjoy a cozy, strain-free pregnancy environment no matter the size of your home.

pregnancy swimwear

The Maternity Swimwear Fit Guide

Finding the right maternity swimwear is crucial for comfort and confidence during pregnancy, as your body changes around the bust and belly. Swimwear with adjustable straps that can be customized as you grow, along with wide or supportive cross-back designs, helps reduce shoulder strain and keeps you secure. Built-in shelf bras or soft underwire alternatives, combined with removable padding, provide gentle yet effective bust support tailored to your changing shape.

Choosing breathable, stretchy fabrics like nylon-spandex blends or bamboo-infused textiles ensures you stay cool and dry while allowing freedom of movement, with added durability against chlorine and UV damage. Styles such as tankinis and ruched designs accommodate your growing bump and offer convenience, while UPF protection helps shield your skin from the sun. Complementing swimwear with comfortable, breathable maternity pyjamas, like those from Sleepybelly, supports relaxation and recovery after time in the water. Overall, focusing on fit, support, and quality fabrics allows you to enjoy your pregnancy with ease and style.
