opinions on this body pillow

I am in need of something to help get comfy at night.. has anyone used this or found a body pillow that works better?

 

That looks really comfy. I just use a regular body pillow because it's easier to move in the night. That one looks like you might have to really wrestle yourself out of it. Or maybe I'm just jealous that you get to have a cool fancy new pillow!

 

I have it and I LOVE IT! It is absolutely enormous - takes up 3/4 of the bed, so hubby sleeps in the other room (he hates the thing). But I sleep through the night, every night. It's easy to turn over in. And to get out of it, I just flip one of the "legs" up in the air. My only complaint is that the cover is not very soft on your face, so I loop a flannel pillow case over the head area.

 

Well.. I want to make sure its not a waist of money.. kwim? its $54 that I could spend elsewhere if its not worth it.. ya.. the wrestling to turn over is what I was worried about.

 

I used one pretty much exactly like that and I could not have survived without it. Mine was from Walmart and much cheaper than that one though.

 

I used something very similar. It was called a "snoogle." Honestly, it saved me. It really helped to support my back and stomach. I liked the fact that you can contort it into various positions to fit your needs. Once I started using it, I was able to get comfortable and sleep better. It's quite large...my DH called it the Great Wall of China.

 

you know, I have one but a little different. I think it's very comfortable but you can get the same comfort with a pillow under the belly and inbetween your legs. so if you don't really have the money for it, I wouldn't waste what money I do have on it. Otherwise if you can afford it, than get it. It is very comfortable

 

when i sleep alone I use my snoogle, when DH is sleeping in the bed it is to small for snoogle... so I am surrounded by pillows instead. Otherwise DH ends up snuggling the snoogle by accident...

The snoogle is the one I used as well. Couldn't have lived without it!

 

I actually hated this one. It is absolutely huge and by the time I got it I was absolutely huge. That didn't go together very well. It was too tall to fit under my belly for support so the part where it sticks out in the middle was just in the way. It was really too bulky to use another pillow with it but I couldn't get comfy with it as the pillow. I used it a few nights and went back to the boppy one. I liked the boppy pillow and now they have one that is half of that pillow which I think might have been the most useful. I just put one of the cheap wedges on the other side for when I rolled over which wasn't very often as there was a baby in the way when laying on my right side.

 

i have this one and personally i really like it

 

I also had the Snoogle and loved it - even for about 4 weeks post partum...

I still will ocasionally use my Snoogle if I throw my back out - a few nights with it and my spine rights itself again!

 

well.. I think that settles it.. it must be as comfy as it looks.. I am gonna have DH grab it for me tomorrow.. TY so much.

 

I wish I would've had something like that when pregnant with my twins. I slept with 2 body pillows...one in front and one behind me for stomach AND back support. It was the ONLY way I could get any sleep.

 

Hi, my mom bought this pillow for me and it was pretty expensive, but I would NOT recommend it. IT is way tooo heavy! It is so big you can barely move the thing. And if you are on bedrest like how I was you have to be able to move as easily as possible cause you don't want to strain yourself. It is way tooo heavy, trust me! Now is serve as a nice blockade for my crawling twins so they won't go out the front door.

HTH and good luck!

I have a similar one called the Comfort U. It doesn't have all the indentations that that one has. It's okay. I don't like it for under my head, so I end up jamming a feather pillow at the top of the U. The lower "legs" of it are too firm to have between my knees. Sigh.... So now it's in the corner and I have 5 regular and king pillows arranged around me.

Keep us posted on how you like it.

 

I would have never survived my pregnancy without it! I loved it once I got really big I had to have the support behind my back too and surpisingly you can just flip over in it and you are in the same position but on the other side . I still use it now on the floor to prop the babies up if I am giving them a bottle at the same time and I used it to lean on when I was nursing a lot. You will want it to use for the first month or so after the babies are born to support your belly until everything goes back to normal. For me it was one of my smarter purchases.
