not what we expected
quality was ok, but wasn't what we expected, wouldnt work right for my wife. she is 5'4" and petite (except for the belly now...lol) but you could take two regular pillows for much less money and put them in front and back and achieve better results.
This was what I needed
I am in my fourth month and I haven't slept well in weeks, partially because I have always slept on my back and I am trying not to do that. I read several good reviews for this type pillow on other web sites and then found it here most economically. It does come from a 3rd party vendor, which made me nervous as I have had a bad experience in the past. However, this vendor couldn't be better - providing quick shipping, information on shipping tracking and a return shipping label in case you are not satisfied.
I thought the pillows would be large, but they are more dense and less gigantic, which left more room on the bed for my husband than I expected.
I have had the pillows for one night and I slept well for the first time in weeks... the spacing on the velcro straps was a little difficult, but that is because it is not intuitive - you can't really "eyeball" it, you have to try different settings, and a setting that seemed way too small for my expanding middle turned out to be perfect, and then I felt like I was sleeping on a cloud. Even if I never use it again (unlikely), last night's sleep was worth the money. Additionally, the pillows "forced" me to stay on my side, which was one of my goals.
This is a great little product for me.
Nice, but you could make a nicer one yourself
I promised myself after my second pregnancy, with the next baby I'd treat myself to a maternity pillow. Four months into this pregnancy, I took the plunge (so tired of achy sides and not being able to sleep well).
I didn't want to wait 2-3 weeks to get one in off of Amazon, so I snagged the last of 5 that were on Overstock.com (they also have this same pillow for $29.99) and periodically get more instock.
This pillow is a good concept. The quality is very disappointing to say the least. The velcro tabs on the bottom of the middle panel are just about useless. You're better off just shoving the pillows to where you want them than trying to get this velcro to hold the place. The pillow is merely very thin and cheap cotton fabric stuffed with regular craft polyfill. I atleast expected to be getting something resembling the quality of two regular type pillows with some type of panel attaching them together. I think you're better off buying two comfortable single size pillows of your choice and nicely stitching a panel between the two to hold them together. Carry handles are nice.
On the upside I found new cases for maternity pillows from The Company Store on ebay for a steal. They fit this perfect and make it look a ton better.
It is nice having something that stays in place to support the preggie belly and back. I just expected better quality than this, esp. when other places say these retail for $50!
