The real difference: firm and strapped vs soft and free
My Brest Friend wraps around your waist and clips at the back. Its firm, flat foam keeps baby level at breast height, and the strap stops the pillow from sliding away from you mid-feed.
The Snuggle Me Organic Feeding Support has no strap. Snuggle Me describes it as having narrow ends that tuck behind your back or side and a thick centre that brings baby right to you. The fill is polyester fibre, so it has a softer, more cushioned feel than foam.
Materials
This is where Snuggle Me stands out. The cover is organic cotton, and the brand says the polyester fill has no added chemicals or flame retardants. If natural materials are high on your list, that's a real plus.
My Brest Friend's strength is structure. Firm foam holds its shape feed after feed, and the built-in back support (with extra padding on the Super Deluxe) helps you sit up rather than hunch over. Our guide on how to use the My Brest Friend nursing pillow shows how to get the fit right.
Washing and care
Snuggle Me says the whole feeding support is machine washable: cold, gentle cycle, dye-free detergent, washed by itself, then air dry flat until damp and tumble dry on low. My Brest Friend works differently. The slipcover goes in warm on gentle, no bleach, then air-dry, and the foam is spot-clean only.
