5 Rhiannon  · I’ve used mine for two pregnancies now and love it. I bought an extra case when they dropped a new colour out and it’s completely waterproof, so good!
5 Emily  · This pillow is so good I’ve gifted it twice! Absolutely life changing - my friends love it.
5 Steph  · So comfortable, has made a huge difference to my quality of sleep.
5 Don W.  · Easy to travel with just took it to Whitsundays and it fitted into my suitcase easily
5 ilda h  · Worth it – Super comfortable, practical and easy to wash and use. Recommend
5 Hayley A.  · Best pregnancy pillow – So comfy and supportive! The size is great too - doesn't take up half the bed space like some other maternity pillows.

Didn’t like the pillow, it was pressing on my belly which made it very uncomfortable. They have a 90 days return policy. I contacted them to return the product, they sent me a label and then I never heard from them, never received a refund ! Tried to email them, live chat, their form on their website but they are just ghosting me. I will be at the next Faire to claim my refund as promised. Really not honest people or company.

I had purchased another larger pillow (body wrap around) and it just didn't work for us. We met the butterfly team at the expo and they did a great job explaining why I didn't need a larger pillow. Super happy with the product, incredible service from the team and happy to support an Australian business. I've only used the pillow for sleeping but I can see how it will be useful when baby comes. Show details ·  1

I am currently pregnant and honestly this pillow has been a lifesaver. I have tried a few different pregnancy pillows, but none of them compare to the Butterfly Pillow. The shape supports exactly where I need it, especially through my hips and bump, and it has genuinely helped me sleep so much better. One of my favourite and best purchases this pregnancy!!

I LOVE my Butterfly Maternity Pillow, it was my lifesaver during pregnancy and helped me be comfortable while sleeping. It’s now amazing being used as a nursing pillow.

I genuinely cannot rave about the butterfly maternity pillow enough! I purchased this pillow after seeing other reviews and with growing hip pain I thought ‘I have to try this!’. Instantly I was sleeping better, tossing less and waking less! I’ve travelled on planes, long car rides and slept in different beds, all feeling comfortable and supported… Read more

thanks to this pillow. Now I’m nursing this pillow has also been a game changer! Helping to prop myself and baby up when needed. Absolutely zero regrets purchasing and I will forever recommend to everyone I know!

This pillow has made such a difference in my quality of sleep! I love that it doesn’t take up the whole bed and that I will be able to use it as a breastfeeding pillow once baby arrives!

EDIT: FAULTY PRODUCT ISSUE RESOLVED! My own pillow fortress was better! – EDIT: Leaving my original review below in case anyone has same issue, however after posting this review, Tahlia reached out to me and we managed to establish that my pillow was faulty. There was not enough stuffing and therefore was offering barely any support (see pics below) Tahlia was very helpful and resolved the issue without hassle. New… Read more ·  1

pillow is much better! Excellent customer service, thanks Tahlia : )

I’d been avoiding trying to spend so much money on one pillow I’d only use for a few months, but as sleeping became more uncomfortable and the nights more restless, I finally gave in and bought one of these. Not really sure of the point of it, there’s hardly any filling in it so it barely offers any support, and it’s tiny. I guess it kind of feels nice around my lower back when I’m sat up in bed reading, but it’s completely superfluous when sleeping, have gone back to using my normal pillows as I was before spending $160 on this. Def not worth the money, with an expensive little one on the way I would definitely recommend spending your funds on something else more useful

Good for bump support – This maternity pillow provides decent support for my baby bump whilst sleeping, and I like that it’s double sided to make rolling over easier. Petite women may find the two halves are a little far apart initially. I’m 5 months pregnant (with a pretty sizeable bump as it’s my third pregnancy) but I do have to push the two halves in closer… Read more ·  1

throughout the night to get continued support. This pillow also has not helped my hip pain. I thought the fact this pillow raises your torso slightly from the mattress may relieve some pressure, but it hasn’t helped and I’m on the look out for a different option to address that, as a pillow between the knees is also not sufficient. I’ll still use this pillow for travel, as it’s nice and small. I’d recommend it for women just looking for some bump support and something to discourage them from rolling on their backs, however if you’re experiencing pregnancy aches and pains, a larger pillow may be more supportive and helpful.

Game changer in such a little package!!! Truly a miracle of comfort and targeted relief – Earlier in my pregnancy when I was shopping for pregnancy pillows I totally overlooked this little gem- seduced instead by the big fancy C and U shaped pillows that enveloped my whole body- convinced that this smaller pillow couldn’t really have much impact. Boy was I wrong! By about 28 weeks when I really started to feel my pregnancy with all its… Read more ·  1

aches and chronic back pain (which the other pillows provided no relief for) I became a little more desperate to find support that would provide targeted relief and I remembered seeing the huge amount of positive reviews for the butterfly pillow and finally ordered one.

I still don’t understand how it can be so effective but it is nothing short of a miracle how much this pillow has supported my sleep and reduced my back aches. It is so incredibly comfortable, you have to try it to believe it- and provides soft yet firm support in all the areas impacted by my growing belly. It holds me in place for side sleeping and I no longer worry about rolling onto my back as it creates a soft barrier so this isn’t possible. Also to confirm what many reviews have said- it’s designed so that rolling into your other side is effortless and doesn’t require shifting of props which often would wake me up. My back and belly feel so beautifully cushioned and this cushiony support is not something I have to keep rearranging the pillow to create. It is an amazing design- so simple that I still can’t quite fathom how it is so effective and comfortable.

I now take it with me when I am going somewhere where I’ll know I’ll be sitting for a while (like to the movies) and I place it around my lower back and no longer get any of the back aches I was starting to get through prolonged sitting. It’s size means it is super easy to cart around and travel with unlike my huge c shaped pillow that I bought earlier.

Overall this pillow is a true miracle of comfort. One you must try yourself up believe. I have gone from a cynic to a convert!!! I only wish I had trusted all those positive reviews about it and purchased it earlier. I will use it long after my pregnancy is over too as I imagine it would be a super lovely supper even without my bump!

If you are looking for ‘the one’- in the sea of pregnancy pillows on offer- then don’t go past the butterfly. It is worth every cent.

An absolute must for during pregnancy, it’s small but mighty - the pillow supported my bump and back and also helped me to stay sleeping on my side, I am now 10wks PP and I use it to help support my body and baby during feeding every day and every night. Show details

From the moment I first used the Butterfly Maternity Pillow, I felt a noticeable difference in my comfort and rest. It gives gentle lift and holds my bump in place when on my side, and I feel less pressure on my spine overnight. Rolling from one side to another is smooth, & don’t find myself fighting with the pillow or having to reposition it. I… Read more

also want to special mention the knee cloud.. absolute game changer for me! My husband often tries to steal it.

Will use both products even after pregnancy, they have now become my sleep essentials.

I also love that the company is a local family run business, makes it feel less like a transaction and more like a community.

I’ve been using the Butterfly Maternity Pillow for a few weeks now, and honestly, it’s been such a big help, especially as a working mom. After long hours at work, I usually come home with back and hip pain, and sleeping comfortably was getting harder the further along I got. This pillow gives just the right support without being too bulky it… Read more

props me up nicely and keeps me from tossing and turning all night. What I really like is that it’s easy to move around and adjust, so I can use it on the couch after work or in bed at night. I’ve noticed I wake up less stiff and actually feel more rested, which makes a huge difference when you still need the energy to juggle work and family. For me, it’s been worth it.

Doest work gives me very bad back pain after using – Don’t like this, very uncomfortable. Not sure where are these positive reviews come from. gave it a try multiple times but ended up with back pain. I don’t have back pain if I don’t use it. Not worth the money Show details

Do not buy – I purchased this pillow based on all the positive reviews however it has been the absolute WORST thing I have ever bought. After 3 nights of use I have the most horrific back pain I have had in my entire life. In addition I have had the worst nights sleep since the start of my pregnancy. The pillow is also very expensive considering the quality.… Read more

It feels very flimsy and the covers feel like they are made of cheap fabric. I’m terribly disappointed and will be requesting a refund.

Could be better – It's ok, not the best, it's uncomfortable at times, some better designs in case could be better, not worth the price. Only thing going for it is as space taking as other maternity pillows

I was a bit sceptical at first due to the price , however it was worth every penny! This pillow has helped me get sleep and alleviate my hip and back pain! Would highly recommend! Even my puppy loves it just as much as I do! Show details

It took me a while to actually invest in a pregnancy pillow, thinking I will not need it, and boy was I wrong! The second I received my butterfly pillow I tried it and felt instant relief on my spine and hips. So grateful! The orange/rust colour is gorgeous too! Thank you! Would love to get more covers for it. Xx Show details

I bought the maternity pillow back in 2020 for my first child, used it again in 2023 for my second child and just had a feeling it might be useful again (even though we had completed our family). So up into the cupboard it went. Fast forward to last month when I had to have some breast surgery. The pillow (twisted twice to make it more narrow)… Read more

has been the perfect neck pillow to support my head in the hospital bed and while sleeping elevated at home for the last few weeks.

This pillow has literally changed my sleep! I was actually surprised at how much better it got once I started sleeping with my butterfly. Not only am I way comfier but I also have the peace of mind knowing I’m not going to keep waking up on my back! Got one for my pregnant friend too and she had been through 3 other pillows and said this once was the best by far xx Show details ·  1

My Favourite maternity pillow – I’m obsessed with my butterfly pillow I have tried so many over my 3 pregnancies and this is by far my favourite its compact and doesn’t take up the entire bed it’s so comfortable and ensures I don’t roll onto my back in the night. I got it in sage green and love the colour it goes perfectly with my bed linen.

The cost is worth the comfort – I already had the double sided long body pillow (big U pillow) and it was great for my first trimester but honestly after the 2nd night receiving the butterfly pillow at 19weeks I haven’t looked back. It has been the perfect size in the bed and allows me to toss from side to side freely while supporting my tummy and back! I’m confident I’ll be using it long term! Show details ·  1

I wanted to try the pillow again. My initial pillow did not have enough stuffing in it and I had seen another reviewer say the same thing but this new one is so much better! I definitely feel much more supported so far so good (at 23weeks) and I hoping it will help all the way into my 3rd trimester! If not, at least to help with feeding baby. If anyone has a problem I would totally mention it within the 90days to either get a refund or new pillow the team are so lovely! I would recommend this pillow now! See if it’s right for you, if not get the refund. Thank you so much Tahlia! :)
