How This 7-Month Pregnant Teacher Finally Got Her First Pain-Free Night of Sleep in Months
Sarah Mitchell, 32, couldn't remember the last time she'd woken up without her hips screaming in pain.
At seven months pregnant with her second child, she'd been surviving on 3-4 hours of broken sleep per night—not because of morning sickness or bathroom trips, but because no position felt right anymore.
Side sleeping, which every doctor and pregnancy book recommended, had become torture. Her hips ached from supporting her growing belly all night. Her lower back throbbed constantly. And the pregnancy pillow she'd spent $100 on? It helped for about an hour before she'd wake up in pain again, desperately trying to find a comfortable position that simply didn't exist.
"I felt trapped in my own body," Sarah says quietly. "I was so exhausted, so uncomfortable, that I stopped enjoying my pregnancy entirely. I was just trying to survive until delivery."
But what made everything worse was the constant, nagging memory of how good it used to feel to sleep on her stomach.
The One Position Every Pregnant Woman Desperately Misses
Before pregnancy, Sarah was a dedicated stomach sleeper. She'd fall asleep on her belly within minutes and wake up refreshed, her spine perfectly aligned, her hips pressure-free.
Now, that position was completely off-limits.
"Around 14 weeks, my doctor told me I couldn't sleep on my stomach anymore," Sarah remembers. "I tried anyway—just for a few minutes—but the pressure on my belly was uncomfortable and honestly scary. What if I was hurting the baby?"
So she resigned herself to side sleeping like millions of pregnant women before her.
Left side. Right side. Pillow between the knees. Pillow behind the back. Readjust. Flip over. Readjust again.
Night after night, she'd wake up with her hips aching, her lower back stiff, and her sciatic nerve sending shooting pains down her leg.
"I started dreading bedtime," she admits. "I knew I'd spend hours tossing and turning, never quite comfortable, always in some level of pain. I was exhausted during the day, short-tempered with my toddler, and honestly questioning how I was going to survive two more months of this."
Her husband suggested she try sleeping in the recliner. Her mother-in-law recommended more pillows. Her best friend sent her a link to a $200 pregnancy body pillow with 5-star reviews.
Nothing worked.
The pain was getting worse, and Sarah was running out of solutions.
The $1,200 She Almost Spent on Temporary Relief
By month six, the hip and back pain had become unbearable. Sarah wasn't just uncomfortable at night—she was in pain all day long.
She started researching pregnancy chiropractors, desperate for relief.
The first chiropractor she called offered a "pregnancy wellness package": $120 per session, recommended twice weekly for the remainder of her pregnancy. Quick math: $1,920 for eight weeks of treatment.
"And that's just to manage the pain," the receptionist explained cheerfully. "You'll still need to continue treatments since you're side sleeping every night."
Sarah felt her heart sink. She didn't have an extra $2,000 lying around for treatments that would only provide temporary relief.
The chiropractor also recommended a prenatal massage therapist ($95 per session), a specialized pregnancy support belt ($67), and possibly physical therapy if things got worse.
"I left that consultation feeling defeated," Sarah says. "I knew my body was struggling, but I couldn't afford thousands of dollars just to feel slightly less miserable. And even if I could, none of these solutions actually fixed the real problem—I still couldn't sleep in a position that relieved the pressure on my hips and back."
That night, lying awake at 2 AM with her left hip throbbing, Sarah started crying.
"I felt so guilty," she whispers. "I was supposed to be glowing and happy, enjoying these last weeks with my baby. Instead, I was miserable, exhausted, and in constant pain. I just wanted one night—just ONE night—where I could sleep the way my body was designed to sleep."
The Facebook Comment That Changed Everything
Two weeks later, Sarah was scrolling through a pregnancy support group on Facebook when she noticed a thread that caught her attention:
"Has anyone found ANYTHING that actually helps with hip pain at night??"
The comments were filled with commiseration. Hundreds of pregnant women shared the same story: expensive pillows that didn't help, chiropractor bills they couldn't afford, sleepless nights spent trying to find a comfortable position.
But one comment stopped Sarah cold:
"I know this sounds weird, but I've been sleeping on my STOMACH again using an inflatable maternity mattress, and it's completely eliminated my hip and back pain. First pain-free sleep I've had in months. Wish I'd found it sooner!"
Sarah read the comment three times.
Sleeping on her stomach? During pregnancy? That seemed impossible—and potentially dangerous.
But the woman explained: "It's called the Lunafy Maternity Mattress. It has cutouts for your belly, chest, and face, so you can lay completely face-down without any pressure on your baby. All the weight distributes to your hips and shoulders instead—exactly like sleeping on your stomach pre-pregnancy."
The replies poured in from other women who'd tried it:
"This thing saved my pregnancy. Finally sleeping through the night!"
"My chiropractor actually recommended this to me. Completely eliminated my sciatica pain."
"Wish I'd known about this during my first pregnancy. Would have saved me thousands in massage therapy."
Sarah clicked the link, skeptical but desperate.
What Pregnancy Support Pillows Can't Do (And Why Your Hips Are Still Screaming)
As Sarah researched the Lunafy Maternity Mattress that night, she learned something that finally explained why expensive pregnancy pillows hadn't helped her.
The problem isn't that you need MORE support—it's that you're sleeping in an unnatural position that your body wasn't designed for.
Think about it: When you sleep on your side, all your body weight is concentrated on one hip and one shoulder. That's not how your spine is supposed to rest. It's not how your hips are designed to bear weight.
Pregnancy pillows try to compensate by propping you up and supporting your belly from below. But they can't change the fundamental physics: Side sleeping forces your entire body weight onto pressure points that aren't meant to carry that load for 8 hours straight.
This causes:
- Hip pain and bursitis from concentrated pressure on one joint
- Lower back strain from your spine twisting to accommodate your belly
- Sciatic nerve compression from your pelvis tilting unnaturally
- Shoulder stiffness from bearing upper body weight all night
"I thought I was supposed to suffer through this," Sarah says. "Every pregnancy resource said 'sleep on your left side' like it was the only option. No one told me there might be an actual solution to the pain—not just ways to manage it slightly better."
The Science of Stomach Sleeping During Pregnancy
The Lunafy Maternity Mattress works on a brilliantly simple principle: If you remove the pressure on your belly and breasts, you can safely sleep face-down throughout your entire pregnancy.
Here's how it solves the problem:
Pressure Distribution: When you lie face-down on the mattress, your weight distributes across your shoulders, hips, and thighs—exactly the way your body is designed to rest. The cutouts ensure zero pressure on your belly, so your baby is completely safe and comfortable.
Spinal Alignment: Face-down sleeping naturally aligns your spine in a neutral position. No twisting, no tilting, no unnatural curves. Your vertebrae stack properly, relieving pressure on your lower back and sciatic nerve.
Hip Relief: Instead of grinding one hip into the mattress for hours, your weight distributes evenly across both hips. The pressure that caused your bursitis and soreness simply disappears.
Natural Position: Your body recognizes this position. If you were a stomach sleeper before pregnancy, your muscles and joints know exactly how to relax in this position. You're not fighting against your natural sleep habits—you're finally honoring them again.
Sarah's First Night: "I Cried When I Woke Up"
When Sarah's Lunafy Maternity Mattress arrived, she was nervous.
Would it actually work? Would it feel safe? Would her belly fit in the cutout?
That evening, she inflated it on top of her regular mattress (it took less than 3 minutes), then carefully positioned herself face-down.
"The second I laid down, I gasped," Sarah remembers. "It felt like coming home. My body just... relaxed. For the first time in months, nothing hurt."
The cutout cradled her belly perfectly—no pressure, no squishing, just gentle support. Her face rested in the cushioned opening, allowing her to breathe easily. Her hips and shoulders bore her weight evenly, exactly as they had before pregnancy.
"I thought I'd need time to adjust," she says. "But within five minutes, I was asleep. Deep, real sleep—not that half-awake, constantly-shifting, trying-to-find-comfort sleep I'd been surviving on."
She slept for six straight hours.
When she woke up the next morning, she laid there in disbelief, doing a mental scan of her body:
Hips? No pain.
Lower back? No stiffness.
Sciatic nerve? Completely silent.
"I started crying," Sarah admits. "I'd forgotten what it felt like to wake up without pain. I'd accepted that I'd just suffer through the rest of my pregnancy. And suddenly, after months of misery, I felt... normal again."
Her husband found her still lying face-down on the mattress, tears streaming down her face.
"Are you okay? Is something wrong?" he asked, alarmed.
"Nothing's wrong," she said, smiling. "For the first time in four months, nothing's wrong at all."
Week One: The Transformation Begins
That first pain-free night wasn't a fluke.
The second night, Sarah slept for seven hours without waking once. The third night, she fell asleep in under ten minutes—something that hadn't happened since her first trimester.
By the end of the first week, the constant background pain she'd been living with had vanished.
Her hip bursitis, which had made walking painful during the day, improved dramatically. The lower back stiffness that made getting out of bed a slow, careful process disappeared. Even her sciatic nerve, which had been sending shooting pains down her leg for weeks, went completely quiet.
"I felt like myself again," Sarah says. "I had energy during the day. I was patient with my toddler. I actually started enjoying my pregnancy instead of just enduring it."
Her husband noticed the change immediately. "You're smiling again," he said one morning. "I didn't realize how much pain you'd been in until I saw you without it."
But the most remarkable change was emotional.
"I'd been so anxious about labor and delivery," Sarah explains. "Not because I was scared of childbirth, but because I was so exhausted and in so much pain that I couldn't imagine having the strength to get through it. Once I started sleeping properly, that anxiety disappeared. I felt strong again. Ready."
Month Two: Sleeping Better Than Before Pregnancy
By her eighth month of pregnancy, Sarah was sleeping better than she had in her entire second trimester—and possibly better than before she got pregnant.
"I'm serious," she laughs. "Even when I could sleep on my stomach before pregnancy, I'd still wake up occasionally with a stiff neck or a sore shoulder. With the Lunafy mattress, I wake up perfectly comfortable every single morning."
The cutouts aren't just functional—they're ergonomically designed to support optimal sleep positioning. The face cutout eliminates neck strain. The belly cutout is sized to accommodate every stage of pregnancy. The breast cutout relieves pressure for women experiencing tenderness or engorgement.
Sarah started bringing the deflated mattress with her on overnight trips. "It folds down small enough to fit in a backpack," she explains. "I inflated it at my parents' house during a weekend visit, and my mom was amazed. She said, 'Where was this during my pregnancies?'"
She also started recommending it to other pregnant women—her colleagues at school, women in her Facebook group, even her own doctor.
"My OB was initially skeptical when I told her I was sleeping on my stomach," Sarah says. "But when I explained the mattress and how it works, she got really excited. She said, 'This could solve so many of my patients' sleep problems.' She now recommends it regularly."

Jessica T., Age 29
"I was spending $240/month on prenatal massage just to manage my hip pain. Bought this mattress as a 'last attempt' before giving up on sleep entirely. Used it the first night and canceled all my remaining massage appointments. This thing WORKS. My hips don't hurt for the first time in 3 months."
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Amanda R., Age 34
"Physical therapist here, currently pregnant with my second. I recommended side sleeping to all my pregnant patients for years—until I experienced how painful it actually is. This mattress is the only thing that's allowed me to sleep through the night. I'm now recommending it to every pregnant patient I see."
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Rachel M., Age 27
"I've tried THREE different pregnancy pillows, spent over $200 total, and still woke up in pain every night. This was $79 and solved the problem completely on night one. NIGHT ONE. If you're on the fence, just buy it. You're going to wish you'd ordered it sooner."
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Priya S., Age 31
"My sciatic nerve pain was so bad I could barely walk by 7 months. My doctor said I just had to 'tough it out' until delivery. Started using this mattress and within one week—ONE WEEK—the sciatica was 90% better. Now at 38 weeks and still sleeping comfortably. Absolute game-changer."
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Nicole B., Age 36
"Third pregnancy, first time I've been able to sleep on my stomach past first trimester. Honestly teared up the first night because I'd forgotten what pain-free sleep felt like. My chiropractor asked what I'd changed because my hip alignment improved dramatically. I'm telling every pregnant woman I know about this."
Why This Works When Expensive Solutions Don't
After using the Lunafy Maternity Mattress throughout the rest of her pregnancy, Sarah finally understood why expensive pregnancy products had failed her.
Pregnancy pillows address symptoms, not the cause.
The cause of your hip pain, back pain, and sciatica isn't lack of support—it's sleeping in an unnatural position that concentrates all your weight onto pressure points your body isn't designed to handle.
Adding more pillows doesn't fix the physics of side sleeping. It just makes you slightly more comfortable in an uncomfortable position.
Chiropractic care and massage provide temporary relief, not lasting solutions.
These treatments reduce inflammation and realign your joints—which feels amazing for a few days. But the moment you sleep on your side again, you're recreating the same pressure and misalignment that caused the problem in the first place.
You're treating the effect without changing the cause.
The Lunafy Maternity Mattress changes the actual position you sleep in.
It doesn't try to make side sleeping more tolerable. It eliminates side sleeping entirely—safely returning you to the natural stomach-sleeping position your body prefers.
When you remove the root cause of the pain (unnatural side sleeping), the symptoms disappear automatically. No ongoing treatments needed. No expensive adjustments. Just consistent, pain-free sleep, night after night.
The Choice Sarah Almost Didn't Make
Two months after delivery, Sarah still uses her Lunafy Maternity Mattress occasionally.
"After months of perfect sleep, I got used to sleeping on my stomach again," she laughs. "Sometimes I'll inflate it even though I'm not pregnant anymore, just because it feels amazing."
But looking back, she realizes how close she came to suffering through the entire last trimester.
"I almost didn't order it," she admits. "I'd wasted money on pregnancy pillows that didn't work, and I was scared to spend more on another product that might not help. I came so close to just accepting that pain and exhaustion were part of pregnancy."
Finding the Lunafy Maternity Mattress didn't just give her better sleep—it gave her back her pregnancy.
"Those last two months were beautiful," Sarah says, her voice soft. "I wasn't just surviving anymore. I was actually enjoying feeling my baby move, nesting, preparing. I had the energy and patience to savor those final weeks instead of just desperately waiting for them to end."
She pauses, then adds: "Every pregnant woman deserves that. You shouldn't have to choose between pain and sleep. You shouldn't have to spend thousands on treatments that only help temporarily. This mattress costs less than one prenatal massage package—but it works every single night."
How Much Does It Cost?
The Lunafy Maternity Mattress is regularly priced at $144, but is currently on sale for only $79, and provides pain-free sleep throughout the remainder of your pregnancy and postpartum recovery.

- Physical therapy: $100-150 per session, often multiple sessions needed
