Boppy Pillow Review
A firm, versatile nursing pillow that takes the strain off feeding but asks a little patience finding its position.
Little to no strain on the arms and makes for an enjoyable feeding.
Our researchMore Than a Nursing Pillow
The Boppy is best known as a nursing pillow, but parents also use it for infant support and seating or simply to help a baby relax — this review focuses on its core nursing role.
Our research found the pillow is very supportive and helps mothers position the baby just right, taking little to no strain off the arms for an enjoyable feeding experience.
That support comes at the cost of some flexibility: the Boppy is fairly firm and can take a bit of effort to position on your body. That same firmness pays off elsewhere, though, giving a child a comfortable, stable place to rest during a bottle feeding.
Construction is simple and durable, with a polyester center wrapped in a 90/10 cotton-poly blend surface. It ships without a cover, but a wide range of slipcovers is available separately for parents who want to match their nursery.
