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 eight decorative pillows (ranging from euro down to accent size) and two sleeping pillows on my king-sized bed. At no point in my pregnancy have I had a problem finding pillows to prop up my legs and my tummy or back. But having to use four different pillows all placed just right in order to sleep at night just gets aggravating. Even more aggravating is trying to get everything back into position after your second or third trip to the bathroom in the middle of the night, in the dark, while trying not to wake your hubby. Add in the inevitable 2-3 position changes throughout the night where you are again fighting with all of those pillows and the multi-pillow set-up gets old fast. My poor hubby eventually got tired of my tossing and turning and bought one of these for me. I scoffed as I curled into my snoogle for the first time, then promptly fell fast asleep. After that first night I was sold. The snoogle makes it super easy to change position in the middle of the night because it cradles you perfectly no matter how you lay on it. I keep the open side of the "C" towards my hubby so I can snuggle him easily. This position provides great back support. Keeping the snoogle tucked between my legs (like the lady in the picture) really helps alleviate the pelvic pain that kicked in during the third trimester. I keep my normal sleeping pillow above the top of the snoogle for those times when I want to sleep on my back. My head rests on the sleeping pillow and my shoulder blades are on the snoogle so I'm propped up at a comfy angle and my belly is not total dead weight on my bladder. Sleeping facing the closed back of the "C" is also a great option when I want to ease the pressure on my tummy by resting it on the snoogle. I've also curled it up and used it as a backrest so I could sit upright in bed. It's versatile. General thoughts on the product itself. The pillow is somewhat firm which is good because it needs to be able to provide ample support. The cover is not the softest but that really doesn't bother me. I haven't tried to pull it off for washing yet so I can't speak to how easy/hard that is or how the material wears over time. Before actually owning a snoogle I thought it was a pretty silly idea. But having one has improved my sleep quality and quantity so much. It was totally worth it.

I love this Pillow! It stays in my bed in the same form; open side turned towards the edge of the bed so it is easier for me to get out which maximizes my sleep. I have had it since I found out I was pregnant at 4 weeks as I was very disturbed at night, thanks to those crazy hormones :) This pillow helped me relax and now it is my buddy every night. My husband wants one too as it is really comfortable. I am 16 weeks now and I only sleep with this pillow more on my left side as recommended by my doctor. I sleep like a champ! Of course after 4-5 pee breaks during the night; I still manage to dose off after each time. I always keep the bottom portion in between my knees for extra support which helps with any pressure or leg cramps. I think I will continue to use this pillow after I have my baby as it really is comfortable and contours to my body... hehehe *** I wish it came with an extra pillow case, it would only be fair for the price of this pillow... just a suggestion ***
