The pregnancy cushion from maxVitalis was delivered adequately protected in a sturdy cardboard box.
The sustainability of the packaging is another positive aspect. MaxVitalis has taken care to avoid unnecessary packaging waste. In order to pack the product safely and as compactly as possible, only the necessary material was used. Plastic was only used in the form of a plastic sleeve, which was unavoidable for vacuum packing the cushion. Although the use of plastic is not very desirable, the cushion was shipped in a very compact and therefore more environmentally friendly way.
The contents of the package were complete and corresponded exactly to the product description.
The product is largely self-explanatory, which makes it intuitive and easy to use. Nevertheless, general information about the cushion can be found on a leaflet. It is particularly noteworthy that the information on this leaflet is available in seven other languages, which makes the product attractive to a wide range of customers. The label on the inside of the cover also contains care instructions for washing the cover.
To summarise, the packaging and contents of the maxVitalis pregnancy pillow are convincing. The packaging is functional and protects the product effectively. The complete contents of the pack, the clear instruction leaflet in several languages and the care instructions on the cover label make for a very good first impression.

The pregnancy cushion from maxVitalis has a very attractive design. The cover in plain anthracite looks modern and appealing. The material is also soft, which ensures a high level of comfort and gives the cushion a pleasant feel.
The cushion also shows its best side in terms of workmanship. The seams are very wellfinished and all materials are pleasantly soft to the touch.
The stability of the pregnancy cushion is another plus point. Despite its softness, it provides very stable support for the whole body, especially for the back and legs. This stability is crucial for the relief and comfort that the pillow is intended to provide during pregnancy.
The sustainability of the product should also be emphasised. For efficient and environmentally friendly transport , the pillow is rolled up tightly and packed very compactly under vacuum. The product page on Amazon states that the pillow has been tested for harmful substances, even if it is not clear exactly which harmful substances the pillow has been tested for. The washable cover also speaks in favour of a long service life, as it is easy to clean and therefore easy to care for.
All in all, the pregnancy cushion from maxVitalis makes an excellent first impression. The combination of aesthetics, functionality and sustainability makes the pillow a highly recommended choice.

A frequent criticism is that the cushion is very large and difficult to stow away when it is no longer needed. It is also occasionally noted that the filling could be a little denser in order to fully fulfil the promised ergonomic benefits.
Many people like the fact that the pillow offers a comfortable firm ness and is suitable for different positions such as sleeping, reading or relaxing. The soft texture of the cover and the high quality of the material, which has no chemical odour , are particularly positively emphasised. The removable and washable cover is also seen as a practical advantage.
In our practical test , we were able to confirm that the size of the cushion can be a disadvantage when stowing it away. However, the ergonomic support of the pillow and the versatility of use were considered excellent.
Prices of up to around € 270 are charged on the internet for equivalent products. Very affordable products are available from around €17 . The pregnancy pillow from maxVitalis is therefore currently in the lower price segment with a price of €39.99. For the quality and performance received, the price-performance ratio is very good.
