The Best Nursing Pillows

A person nursing a baby and using the Luna Lullaby Nursing Pillow.

The right nursing pillow will help support a breastfeeding baby, making nursing more comfortable for parents and babies alike.

Over the past nine years, we’ve interviewed 11 breastfeeding experts, conducted online research, and tested almost two dozen nursing pillows with four focus groups of nursing mothers.

After our latest round of testing, we continue to recommend the Luna Lullaby Nursing Pillow, the Blessed Nest Nesting Pillow, and the My Brest Friend Twin & Plus Nursing Pillow, and we’ve added the Boppy Uplift Nursing Pillow to our lineup.

It’s important to know that the pillows in this guide are not safe spots to allow a baby to sleep; the only safe place for an infant to sleep is on a firm, flat surface, like that in a crib, a bassinet, or a playard. In September 2024, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) released a federal mandatory standard that reiterates the safety hazard of allowing a baby to fall asleep on a pillow, and companies including Boppy and My Brest Friend state that these pillows should be used only for feeding.

Everything we recommend

The Luna Lullaby Nursing Pillow is a notably soft and, well, pillowy option. Marki Williams/NYT Wirecutter

The Nugget Is the ‘Original Play Couch.’ Costco’s Version May Be Better.

Image
If you’re a parent of a child under 10, you’ve probably heard of The Nugget, the beloved play sofa that launched a thousand (well, at least 20) competitors. I’ve only recently discovered the category; but now that my eyes are open, play-cushion sets seem to be everywhere — even at Costco. I’m inherently skeptical of any product that claims to solve a need that I’m unaware of having. But, last summer, a junk collector hauled away our sofa, whose base had finally broken clean in half from eight years of my son’s intense, anime-inspired dance-jumping. It turns out we could’ve used a play sofa — and saved our couch  (as well as our cushions). The Nugget , the first play couch to widely popularize the concept, experienced viral popularity during pandemic lockdowns in 2020. It is also a Wirecutter favorite . Its modular design is simple: There are two long, hinged cushions and two triangular bolsters, all with removable, washable covers. And while The Nugget is arguably the most popu...

We Bought a 450-Pound Mystery Pallet Packed With Returned Goods From Amazon and Beyond. Here’s What We Found Inside.

Image
When I convinced my bosses at Wirecutter to spend over $700 on a 450-pound, 6-foot-tall cardboard box filled with hundreds of mystery products that had been returned to Amazon and other retailers, I assumed that what we’d find inside would be a revealing snapshot of what shopping looks like today. Anyone can buy these pallets stuffed with discarded products. For months, I’d watched content creators on social media giggle in excitement as they’d pull packages one by one from their own surprise boxes and rip them open, ceremoniously revealing a bevy of weird and wonderful items. A sparkly diamond ring! A cozy custom blanket emblazoned with the faces of a young couple! Some sexy (unworn) lingerie! I was certain that my own box would be a mix of great stuff, mediocre stuff, and some downright lousy stuff. My Wirecutter colleagues and I would use the items we found to meditate on product quality, manufacturing, and the retail life cycle. And we’d likely discover something interesting an...
