Doomoo Buddy vs Softy: Which Multi-Functional Pillow Fits You?

Compare the Doomoo Buddy and Softy on size, support and conversion options to decide which multi-functional pillow suits your pregnancy, nursing and lounging routine.

Quick answer

Choose the Doomoo Buddy if you want one large pillow that supports pregnancy sleeping, nursing and lounging, and can later become a baby cushion or toddler pouf with a Relax Cover. Choose the Doomoo Softy if you mainly need a compact waist-wrapped pillow for feeding and simple baby lounging, and you prefer a smaller footprint.

Length and support: what the 180 cm and 150 cm measurements mean

The Buddy measures 180 cm, while the Softy measures 150 cm. That 30 cm difference is the main reason the Buddy works as a pregnancy pillow: the extra length lets you wrap or tuck it around your body for side-sleeping support. The Softy is shorter, so it wraps around an adult waist more neatly for breast and bottle feeding, but it gives less full-body coverage during pregnancy.

Neither pillow has a published firmness rating in the catalog, so base your choice on how you plan to use it rather than on a firmness claim. If you need firm, structured back support, neither model is sold as an orthopaedic pillow; if you want soft, flexible support that you can reshape, both are designed around flexibility and softness.

The Relax Cover changes the long-term value

Both pillows can convert into a baby cushion or a toddler pouf with the Doomoo Relax Cover, which is sold separately. That conversion is what makes the Buddy a genuine 3-in-1 pillow and the Softy a 2-in-1: the Buddy starts as a pregnancy pillow, moves to nursing, then to lounging; the Softy starts at nursing and moves to lounging.

Because the cover is an add-on for both, factor it into your budget if you plan to use the pillow beyond the nursing stage. Without the cover, each pillow stays a nursing and lounging cushion.

Where each pillow is the weaker choice

The Buddy's larger size is a trade-off in small flats or shared beds: 180 cm of pillow takes up more room when not in use, and it is heavier to move between rooms. The Softy's smaller size is easier to store, but it will not give the same full-body wrap during pregnancy, so it is a less complete pregnancy pillow.

If you already own a dedicated pregnancy pillow and only need a feeding pillow, the Softy covers that job with less bulk. If you want one pillow to do everything from pregnancy through toddlerhood, the Buddy's extra length and 3-in-1 conversion are the reason to pay more.

Trade-offs to weigh before you choose

Pregnancy support vs compact feeding: The Buddy's 180 cm length makes it a usable pregnancy pillow; the Softy's 150 cm length is better suited to waist-wrapped feeding. If pregnancy sleep support is your priority, the Buddy is the stronger fit. Decide whether pregnancy sleeping is a must-have or a nice-to-have before comparing price.
3-in-1 vs 2-in-1 conversion: Both convert to a baby cushion or toddler pouf with the separately sold Relax Cover, but only the Buddy also covers the pregnancy stage. Count the Relax Cover as an extra cost if you want the conversion.
Space and storage: The Buddy takes up more room on a bed or sofa and is less portable; the Softy is easier to store and move between rooms. In a small flat, the Softy's smaller footprint may matter more than the Buddy's extra length. Measure your usual feeding spot before choosing the larger pillow.
