“The Belly Bed offers a variety of sleeping positions which are not available on a conventional bed. This helps to get a better night’s sleep and assists overall in coping with the demands of pregnancy.”

The Belly Bed was a Godsend, it allowed me to sleep on my belly without putting any pressure on the baby and the leg rest helped relieve the pain in my legs – I could literally see my legs change before my eyes. While using the bed I slept soundly right through the night.
I have tried all kinds of ways to get comfortable in the past including the pillows and none of them offered the flexibility of the Belly Bed. If you’re pregnant and finding it hard to rest – get one. You can’t put a price on being relaxed and rested during pregnancy and it’s the best money I’ve ever spent.”

I am not sure how I would’ve coped throughout my pregnancy had it not been for the support that this bed allowed me in terms of a temporary relief from my pregnancy related ailments. This is one of those prized inventions that is worth its weight in gold and truly does work, try it, you won’t be disappointed.”

I suffered with severe pelvic, hip and lower back pain. I also experienced numbness in my hips and legs along with pins and needles. I was in agony day and night. At one point I was hospitalized, put on pain medication and a pain management plan involving various physical therapies.
I was also told that my blood pressure rose to 143/95 (normally 110/70) and I needed to rest.
After a week of using the Belly Bed, I found some much needed pain relief and sleep which enabled me to stop using pain medication. The pain slowly began to decrease and within three weeks of using the bed I was almost 100% pain free.
Needing more rest to bring my blood pressure down, I spent a lot of time lying on the bed. The adjustable pressure of the bed and cavity allowed me to rest comfortably for extended periods on my belly and side, something which I would not have been able to do in a normal bed. I slept comfortably for 8 to 9 hours every night because of the Belly Bed.
During this pregnancy, I gained over 20kg (I now weigh 90kg) as well as my increased blood pressure. The weight gain could have been work related stress or the result of my pregnancy. However, by sleeping and resting on the Belly Bed, after four weeks, my blood pressure returned to normal at 110/70.
I am now pain free and feeling fantastic. I believe the bed played a large role in enabling me to rest and help my blood pressure return to normal. I’m not sure how I would have coped in the last few months of my pregnancy without the Belly Bed as it has totally changed my pregnancy, making it an enjoyable experience. I wish I had used the bed earlier as it has been a life saver for me and I would recommend the bed to all pregnant women.”

FAQS
Always inflate the main compartment of the bed first (Position 1 on the dial) before the cavity cushion or leg rest.
Always check that the air outlet valve is closed (turned clockwise) before inflating the bed. Secondly, check the pump is pushed correctly into the pump housing case. Make sure the dial is on Position 1.
The sides of the bed should be firm to touch (to the point where you find it hard to pinch the vinyl material). The bed should be firm to lie on, if in doubt cease inflating the bed and test bed out before inflating with more air. (Avoid over-inflation).
No, you must always leave the dial on Position 1 when sleeping. Never leave on Position 2 or 3. (The Position 2 setting is to be used for inflating/deflating the abdominal cavity and the Position 3 setting is only to be used when inflating/deflating the leg rest). Once the compartment(s) have been adjusted to the required height, the dial is to be turned back to the Position 1 when resting or sleeping).
Deflate any remaining air that might be left in the leg rest. Ensure that the dial is then returned to Position 1.
This could be one of two reasons, primarily the cavity cushion has not been inflated high enough, causing back discomfort, if so, inflate more air into the cavity cushion until strain is relieved. Or secondly you need to ensure that the leg rest is totally deflated. If the leg rest is slightly elevated (when lying on your belly) this may cause slight strain on your back. Once adjusted always check the dial is then returned to Position 1 when resting.
We recommend that you always use a bed sheet as this allows you to move more comfortably when changing positions on the bed. We recommend the belly bed sheet which has been designed for maximum comfort.
We recommend that you air your Cavity pillow out in the sunshine every now and then. To clean, follow cleaning instructions on pillow label.
Firstly remove the comfort pillow and deflate all air from the cavity cushion and leg rest using the hand held remote. Secondly release the air valve to deflate the air from the main compartment. Once all air is deflated, fold one side of the bed into the middle, do the same to the other side. Fold both ends into the middle and fold in together one more time. Pack bed into Belly Bed carry bag (included) for storage.
