Boppy is probably one of the most popular names in the feeding pillow industry. It has received the American Baby Best of the Year award 7 times in the last 8 years and costing anything from £30 to about £50 they’re not cheap, but there is a large following of Boppy fans.

The Boppy pillow is a donut shaped ring cushion, suitable for breast or bottle feeding. It is quite small so can easily sit on the mother’s lap and is meant to adjust to pretty much anyone’s size to fit around them. I didn’t find it very comfortable around me, it squashed a bit and makes me feel restrictred, but it was fine on my lap.

Amazon have a sale on eight Boppy Pillows at the moment, with prices ranging from £5.15 on separate covers to £46.79 for the most expensive pillow with cover.

I haven’t personally tried one of these, but they do look pretty sturdy and donut like, and who can dislike a donut?  The pillows range in price from the cheapest at £31.65 to the most expensive at £46.79 and the covers range in price from £5.15 to £8.99.

The latter, the Teddy Bears Boppy Pillow with Velour Slipcover, is £46.79 at Amazon, reduced from £49.99 – s o just a 6% price cut. The feeding pillow is a ‘snug and secure fit that adapts to the shape of every mum.’ It can be machine washed and dried and the slipcover is soft velour on the one side and cotton on the other.

The other end of the scale has the Kites Boppy Cotton Slipcover which has been reduced from £12.99 to £5.15, a 60% saving. This fits the Boppy feeding pillow, obviously, and is made of cotton.

You could, for example, get the Crazy Cars Pillow and Cover for £37.17 instead of £49.99 and add a spare pillow to it or just enjoy the cheaper price on the pillow itself.
