I’m a mom of five who managed to give birth to three summer babies. That’s three pregnancies reaching their home stretch amidst the summer heat and the bonus challenges of swelling, sweating, and sleep issues. At least newborns are adorable in their summer swimsuits?
I have been there! So it’s no surprise to me that “how to stay cool during pregnancy” becomes one of the top searches by moms every summer.
So, how are real moms surviving the season? And what actually works to bring comfort when your body feels like it’s running a few degrees too hot at all times?
We tapped into the lived experiences of moms who’ve braved summer pregnancies and discovered one consistent theme: cool, breathable, ergonomic support isn’t a luxury—it’s essential. That’s where the Momcozy Cooling Comfort Collection comes in. Designed with both moms and babies in mind, this newly-launched lineup offers smart solutions that make summer feel so much more manageable.
Whether you’re pregnant, newly postpartum, or trying to keep your baby cool through sticky July naps, here are some real-life tips, plus the products moms are turning to for relief.
Real mom tips for staying cool through summer pregnancy

1. Find your anywhere-anytime comfort – One mom swears by her quick “cool-down” routine with loose pajamas, a chilled drink—and the Momcozy Cooling Pregnancy Pillow. With temperature-regulating fabric and full-body ergonomic support, it’s not just for sleep. Use it while reading, lounging, or simply catching your breath on the couch. Wherever you rest, it helps you relax without overheating.
“I used to wake up drenched in sweat. This pillow totally changed my nights—it keeps me cool and supported.” – Alyssa, CA
2. Rethink your bedding – Bulky bedding in the summer? Skip it. Moms recommend light, breathable layers to stay cool and comfortable.The Momcozy Cooling Comforter delivers instant cool-touch relief and promotes healthy airflow—perfect for pregnancy, postpartum, or even family snuggles. Pair it with the Momcozy Cooling Knee Pillow for extra support where your body needs it most.
“I could finally sleep without flipping my pillow every 20 minutes!” – Megan, TX
3. Better alignment means better sleep – Side sleeping is recommended during pregnancy, but it can strain your hips, knees, and lower back. The Momcozy Cooling Knee Pillow helps reduce back pain, ease leg cramps, relieve sciatica, and improve circulation. Designed for comfort and cool relief, it supports better alignment and deeper sleep—especially in the third trimester. The cooling fabric offers instant relief for overheated nights.
