Can't sleep without it!

| I bought this pillow at 14 weeks pregnant, I'm now 25. I've travelled without it and am always kicking myself for not bringing it along with me. 3 pillows do not substitute having this thing, even 3 comfortable pillows and a good mattress. When I sleep without this, I end up on my back (I'm a chronic back sleeper), then I have major aches and pains. This pillow is the only thing that allows me to comfortably sleep on my left side, which they say is best for the baby, and best for you. An added bonus is that I don't snore anymore (my husband thus loves it too). The cost of this pillow is high, and there is a cheaper version on Amazon, but I read the reviews and the other/cheaper version had a scratchy pillowcase and was a firmer pillow overall. This one is synthetic down, so you can move it around to suit your needs. I also sleep with it upside down that what is pictured here. It gives better leg support, and I didn't want to give up my normal down pillow. (I know, fussy fussy) I personally think that it's worth every penny. If you can get a good night's rest, it makes your pregnancy that much easier. Another thing that I've found helps with sleeping on your side is one of those featherbed mattress toppers. You can get them for under $100 at Bed Bath and Beyond. It helps with the added pressure on your shoulders and hips that pregnancy adds. |
WOW!!!!!

| I love this pillow. My husband got me this as a gift, and it is one of the greatest gifts I've ever gotten! It got me through two pregnancies and is working it's way through my third. It has really helped relieve my lower back and hip pain. I sleep like a baby. |
Absolutely Best Body Pillow Ever!

| I purchased this pillow when I was pregnant with my first child 3 years ago. I use it upside-down, with the curved part supporting my knees and then use my regular pillow for my head. But it is so much more useful than you might think. I also put it in a horse-shoe shape and prop it against the head board for reading. I use the same shape to provide my upper body with an elevated sleeping position when I have a cold. For new mommies, this is a great breastfeeding suport pillow with endless configurations to support you and baby. The pillow case is super soft, like that very old t-shirt you love that has been washed a million times. The polyester synthetic down fill allows for amazing longevity - it retains it's shape and when a part of the pillow gets a little flat you can really just fluff it all back into place in about 30 seconds. I recommend an extra pillow case or two since the special shape of this pillow would make it hard to go out and buy a regular case and you will use it so much you'll want the extra cases. I am very picky when it comes to sleep support - get this pillow!! |
Best pillow ever!

| I purchased this pillow at a baby expo, so I got to try it out before I bought it. I found it to keep my hips,back and head well aligned which greastly reduced my aches and pains. I even bought my 11 year old son the smaller version of this pillow, and he never sleeps without it. My husband loves this pillow, because I don't take up the entire bed anymore with my tossing and turning to find a comfortable position. In fact, I've caught him napping with it. |
Don't Wait To Buy This!

| I waited until I was 23 weeks along to get this and wish I would have bought it earlier! I was tossing and turning in bed with 3 regular pillows before this and wasn't sleeping well through the night. This pillow is soooo comfortable and soft! I fell asleep right away with it. I agree with some other posts that it is difficult to turn over with in the middle of the night, but it really hasn't bothered me. I had more trouble moving over with the 3 regular pillows that I was using before. With this pillow I sleep longer in one position, and now I find that I only turn over once during the night. I have to uncover myself, turn over with it, and put the covers back over and then I'm done and fall right back to sleep. In my opinion, this is the best pillow to buy. I saw the Snoogle in the store and didn't like the material as much as this. It's worth the money! |
