Leachco Snoogle Total Body Pillow - Grey

But I *LOVE* it! Admittedly, I was not an immediate fan. I already have a very comfortable mattress and was sleeping fine—had no trouble staying on my side and was having no pain—but in my enthusiasm to do ALL THE PREGNANCY THINGS, I tried to use this much sooner than I actually needed it (at 20 weeks). At that point, the Snoogle just got in my way, felt restrictive, and truthfully wasn't that comfortable.All that changed when I hit 30 or 31 weeks. Suddenly no comfy mattress was going to help me. I was nervous that the Snoogle that was so underwhelming at first would continue to disappointment, but NO. This is when the magic kicked in. Suddenly that thing just felt perfectly molded to my body. Whatever support I need, it provides. It has kept its shape perfectly—if anything, just becoming more comfortable as I've broken it in. The removable, washable cover has been a godsend for those sweaty summer pregnancy nights. I have had so little pain in this pregnancy, and I 100% credit the Snoogle for that.Some have mentioned that washing the cover can cause tearing and that getting it back on is a pain in the butt. I've washed mine multiple times in 10 weeks with no rips, and though the first time restuffing the case took more time than expected, each time since has gotten progressively faster and easier—even at 39 weeks!It's true my husband hates the "wall" between us (honestly, I don't think it's really THAT bulky in our queen size bed). He seems convinced that this thing will be put away the second baby is born. But I can totally see myself keeping it close to use as a nursing aid early on... so he may have to deal with it a little big longer!If you're stuck between other shapes and brands, I highly recommend this pillow!

I have been having back pain for years. Bought a very expensive memory foam mattress years ago, and it helped a little, but it never completely erased my lower back issues. Some mornings I'd be in near tears as I'd try somehow to roll out of bed and then have to take deep breaths to push away from the bed into a standing position. I tried traditional body pillows but the stuffing just wasn't right and I'd often wake up with the pillow pushed to the side (must have done it in my sleep). Same for just a regular pillow placed between my knees. Or else, I'd end up just throwing one leg over the pillow, which twisted my back and led to pain in the mornings as well. When my friends became pregnant, they raved about both the U and C body pillows, so I figured "why not." Purchased both to see which would work. The U pillow cushioned so well. I felt cradled and secure, but I sleep with my hand by or under my head and could not get comfortable because the stitching was so tight at the top. There was no give at all and I also couldn't rest my head properly without my neck flexing. However, the C pillow works perfectly. Since I've been using it, I have not had a single morning of lower back pain. When this eventually goes flat, I'm buying another one and will continue to do so until the company goes out of business.

I bought this to help with two pregnancy related issues that started showing up around 18 weeks for me: (1) hip pain from sleeping on my side, and (2) rolling over onto my back during the middle of the night (which isn't good starting in the second trimester).I've been using this pillow for a little over a week, and it has definitely helped with both issues. I have no more pain in my hips and it keeps me from rolling completely onto my back in the middle of the night. As an unexpected bonus, it allows me to sleep comfortably while "leaning" my back on it, which is a pleasant compromise between sleeping on my side vs. back. It also allows me to switch sides without having to readjust the pillow, which is less disruptive to my sleep.I'm fairly short at 5'1", and it's very easy to adjust the curvy parts of the pillow to fit me comfortably. This could easily be done in the opposite direction for someone who is on the taller side.The only reason I don't give it 5 starts is that the materials themselves are cheap for what you pay for the pillow. There doesn't seem to be anything special about the stuffing, and the pillowcase is 100% polyester. The case is scratchy against my face. I've resolved this by putting a soft t-shirt over the cover where my bare skin touches the case, and that works fine. But for such cheap materials, this pillow should be less expensive. It doesn't seem like it will last long, but I'm hoping it will last long enough.

This is the most magical invention for a pregnant woman, or for anyone who suffers from back pain/shoulder pain after a night's sleep. At first, I wasn't convinced about the hype surrounding this magical pillow, but then I caved in and bought it. I was just starting my second trimester and I am a back/side sleeper. I notice I had back pain when I slept on my back, and my shoulder was killing me when I slept on my side. Several people recommended this product to me, and I didn't want to buy it because I thought it would take up a ton of space in my bed and that it wouldn't work for me. This pillow arrived, I rolled it out onto my bed, completely skeptical of its power to heal, and then I rolled into its comforting embrace, falling asleep immediately. My bed is a "full" and it fits me, the pillow, and my husband. This truly is a magical invention. As my belly grows and pulls on my back, I am supported by my pillow's straight and curved edges. If you have any hesitation, I hope I am making it vanish, because this is seriously the best thing that I have bought for my pregnancy (I'm 20 weeks along). Good luck, mamas/people who are having trouble sleeping!!
