Not sure if that is the correct name, but it is ment to help make you comfortable while you are sleeping.

Anyone know where you can get them?

you can get a 'V' shaped pillow from Argos for about £6 - not as glam as the grobag one but a more budget option! I never managed to use it while preg, but it's great for breastfeeding

I had the £6 pillow from Argos too, very good and agree it is useful for breastfeeding. Now it is handy to help sit dd up.

The V-shaped pillows are great. I used mine through three pregnancies, breastfeeding and as a support cushion when my boys were learning to sit!

Try to get one with removable cover for washing.

Thanks to everyone for all the advice.

Brought the V shape pillow from Argos in the end and looking forward to a comfy nights sleep.

Can I just revive this to ask a couple of questions?
I want to get a pillow for breastfeeding. They seem to come in 2 sizes - just over a meter, and nearly 2 meters. Gut feeling is 2m is way too big - any experience on this.

Also seem to come in polystyrene (?sp) balls or wadding as 2 different stuffings - any idea which is best.

I like the sound of £6 in argos - is this the larger or smaller size & what's the filling, does anyone know,? thanks!

I've got the standard size one from grobag. Its lovely but still very big so I'm glad I didn't get the super size one - tends to take over the bed but then I'm using it for pg rather than BF at the mo. Never had one with fibre filling but balls seem to work great. Have to say that I find it much more comfy sitting up reading against this one that I do when stack pillows up but then there is a big difference in price and I'm sure the argos one will work just as well.
