My Brest Friend Deluxe vs Super Deluxe: Which Nursing Pillow to Choose

You've chosen a My Brest Friend nursing pillow. Good. Now it's down to two: the Deluxe and the Super Deluxe. They share the same firm, flat, wraparound shape, so you can't really go wrong. The differences are small but real, and they matter more depending on how you'll feed and how your back is holding up.

Short answer: most parents are happiest with the Deluxe ($88.99) for everyday feeding. Choose the Super Deluxe (from $98.99) if you want more back support, you feed for long stretches, or you're recovering from a C-section. Free tracked shipping across Canada either way.

What they share

Both pillows are built on the same core, and it's the part that matters most:

  • The same firm, flat feeding surface that keeps baby level instead of letting them sink toward you.
  • The same patented wraparound shape that clips around your waist and stays put.
  • The same 6-inch backrest so you sit back rather than hunch forward.
  • A removable, machine-washable slipcover and a front pocket for small things.
  • The same fit: approximately 28" to 44" waist.

So whichever you pick, you get the design lactation consultants reach for. The rest is about comfort extras.

What the Super Deluxe adds

Three things, and whether they're worth the difference depends on you:

  • A thicker, higher front cushion. It lifts baby closer to the breast, so you lean down less. If you're tall, or your back complains after a long feed, this is the one that helps.
  • Enhanced lumbar back support. More padding behind you. Useful for marathon cluster-feeding days and for anyone recovering from birth.
  • A waterproof liner built into the cover. Leaks and spit-up hit the liner, not the foam. It keeps the pillow fresher over the long haul.

There's also a small built-in tracker to remember which side you fed from last, which sounds minor until it's 3 a.m.

Which should you choose?

Choose the Deluxe if: you want the proven My Brest Friend design at the everyday price, and you don't specifically need extra back support. This is the pick for most parents.

Choose the Super Deluxe if: your back is a priority, you'll feed for long stretches, you had or are expecting a C-section, or you just want the most supportive, longest-lasting option. Recovering from a C-section? Our C-section guide explains why the wraparound design helps.

Common questions

Is the Super Deluxe worth the extra money?
If back support matters to you, or you'll be feeding often and long, yes. The thicker cushion and lumbar support genuinely reduce hunching. If you want a straightforward everyday pillow, the Deluxe already does the main job well.

Which is better after a C-section?
The Super Deluxe. Its higher cushion lifts baby to you so you lean less, and the added lumbar support lets you sit fully back. The strap keeps baby's weight on the pillow rather than on your incision. Follow your own care provider's guidance.

Do they fit the same?
Yes. Both fit an approximate 28" to 44" waist. Measure just above your hips, tape loose, before you order.

Can baby sleep on either one?
No. Nursing pillows are for supervised, awake feeding only, never for sleep.

Are the covers washable?
Both have removable, machine-washable slipcovers. Wash warm on gentle, air dry. Spot-clean the foam only.
