9 Products to Make Your Pregnancy Sleep Much Dreamier

There are quite a few things to make sleep all the more dreamy, potentially, but we’re starting with a great pair of bed sheets, because hot flashes = no fun. Crafted from high-quality European flax linen, these sheets offer a combination of softness, breathability and durability. The linen fabric is naturally breathable, allowing for optimal airflow and temperature regulation, both of which can help prevent overheating during pregnancy. The softness of the linen gets better and better with each wash, and what’s more, airy linen is actually known for its hypoallergenic properties—so if you have pregnancy-prompted skin sensitivities or allergies, these sheets are sure to be your snuggle bud from here on out. They’re available in Full, Queen, King and California King sizes and offered in 22 amazing colorways, too!

Tossing and turning throughout the night is a hallmark in pregnancy, and when your body is all out of whack, turning to an ergonomic pillow can help. Designed specifically for therapy and relief, this pillow aligns the hips, pelvis and spine, promotes proper posture and relieves pressure on these tender areas. The pillow’s contoured shape and medium-firm density lend pseudo-prescription-strength support without compromising on comfort (i.e. you won’t be struggling to straddle it). It’s also crafted from high-quality materials, polyester fiberfill with a breathable cotton-blend cover, so it’s soft and cool to the touch. If you’re sleeping hot during pregnancy, that’s a huge benefit. Just take advantage of the removable and machine-washable cover, because if you’re sweating top to bottom (super common), it’s bound to get sweaty, too.

If your pre-pregnancy pajamas are no longer cutting it, meet Kyte Baby’s Tank Set, crafted from incredibly soft and breathable bamboo fabric (three degrees cooler than cotton, for reference), which provides exceptional comfort and helps regulate body temperature. In other words, the separates are fantastic for all the pregnancy-related fluctuations. The loose and relaxed fit of the tank top and shorts allows for unrestricted movement and accommodates a growing belly with ease. And, for what it’s worth, the tank set’s minimalist and stylish design adds a splash of chic to anyone’s nighttime repertoire. We like it in Fog, but the rest of the neutral and pastel core palette is equally posh. All available in sizes XS to 3XL—yay!

Yes, you read that right. Whether you’re in your first trimester and have increasing hormone levels to thank for your frequent trips to the bathroom (read: that extra blood flow to the kidneys means more pee) or you’re well into your third trimester and your growing uterus is putting lots of pressure on your bladder, your need to pee is going to ebb and flow throughout your pregnancy. And you’ll definitely feel it at night. That’s why the Loona, a compact and portable bedside urinal that eliminates the need to leave the bed or navigate to the bathroom in the middle of the night, is kind of everything. The urinal’s ergonomic shape and leak-proof seal prevent any haphazard spills or messes (the snap-close lid guarantees it), and since it has a large capacity and easy-to-use features, you can quickly and discreetly go and then get back to sleep without fully waking up.

Now, about that heartburn… Before defaulting to antacids, there’s certainly no harm in trying some elevated sleep first. The shape of Avocado’s iconic wedge pillow provides an inclined position, allowing gravity to keep stomach acid down and reduce the likelihood of acid reflux and heartburn episodes. Crafted from organic latex, which is breathable and hypoallergenic (sensing a trend here?), it’s also supportive and responsive—so your head, neck and spine are all kept in proper alignment while the unique curves of your body are cared for. Every person has a personalized experience with this pillow, pregnant people, especially! You can even pull double duty with this one and prop up your legs to reduce swelling and improve your circulation—something that could help with restless legs syndrome if you’re dealing with it.

Speaking of RLS, by then end of your pregnancy trip, it’s normal to have strange, fidgety feelings in your legs, and it can make getting through the night tough. A leg massage can leave your aches and pains feeling happily pacified. Infused with natural ingredients known for their calming and soothing properties, such as lavender, chamomile and magnesium, this aptly named Sleepy Body Lotion promotes relaxation and eases muscle tension. The gentle, non-greasy formula absorbs quickly into the skin to provide lasting moisture and nourishment. Use it before bedtime, and indulge in a self-care routine that not only hydrates your skin, but also creates a sort of spa-like atmosphere conducive to sleep. Get it in a four or eight-ounce jar and choose from lavender, vanilla or sweet orange scents, or unscented if that’s more your thing.

Has your nose been running or felt stuffy ever since you got that positive test result? Yup, it’s another one of those weird pregnancy symptoms. When the nasal congestion and dryness makes breathing at night next to impossible, investing in a high-quality humidifier is a great idea. A humidifier adds moisture to the air, relieving congestion, soothing dry nasal passages and promoting easier breathing. It’ll also help reduce allergens and irritants, creating a more pleasant sleep environment. This top-fill humidifier offers unreal convenience and impressive ease of use, starting with the fact that you can simply pour water into its top without having to fill and maneuver a heavy water tank or reservoir. The adjustable mist settings (three different levels) are ideal for customizing the most appropriate humidity level for you, but you can also use the auto mode humidity sensor, which does all the work for you and makes adjustments—in real-time—for optimal comfort. You can even add a soothing night light for extra zen.

Even when all the physical disruptions to sleep are mitigated, you still might have anxiety and stress keeping you awake into the night.
