Customer Reviews

My Wife Loves This Pillow Whether Pregnant Or Not!
I bought this brand of the "pregnancy pillow" because it seemed to allow the most flexibility in shape. My wife tells me that she would give this item 5 stars primarily because it is flexible, firm but soft. She has no complaints and sleeps better with this than without.

ADDENDUM: It's now been 7 weeks after my wife has given birth to our son, and my wife still prefers this pillow to our Tempurpedic $200 pillow! In fact, I actually have stolen it from her and find that it's pretty comfortable for anybody, pregnant or not!

Best decision ever
I bought this pillow at a local store after the first truly horrible night of sleep I had while pregnant (legs went numb, feet were swollen, couldn't get comfy, baby was practicing to swim the English Channel etc). That horrid night of (lack of )sleep was immediately followed by one of the best nights of sleep I have had in years. I was totally comfy, I didn't have to sleep on my arm (so my shoulder wasnt all crunchy feeling) I didnt wake up with a sore hip from the baby pressure, no stiff neck. It was wonderful.
The only downsides to it are as follows: I havent been able to find a spare cover for it- so when you have to wash the one it comes in you have to do it that day. Sometimes if the zipper may poke you a bit- I found that this was easily fixable in under 5 seconds though.
Worth every penny!

Definitely Helps
Since early in my pregnancy, I had been sleeping hugging one pillow to rest my belly on with a second pillow in back of me to keep me from rolling onto my back in my sleep. When I hit week 30, this was not enough support.

I just bought this pillow at a local store and used it for the first time last night. First impression: very comfortable. I set aside all of my normal pillows and used only this, similarly to the picture shown here, only I had the top part (that the woman is hugging) shorter, and a longer bottom part on which I rested my tummy. I am 5'5" with a long torso. It fit me fine. When I turned over in the middle of the night, I just extricated my legs, turned over, and hugged the long part instead. Both directions worked for me, and I didn't wake up on my back with dead legs! I give this product four stars because it really, truly gave me the support I needed to help me rest. It is very comfortable, support-wise, and it takes up far less room in the bed than my previous double-pillow arrangement.

On the down side, I do have some complaints. The cover is 100% cotton, which sounds great, but it is extremely coarse and rough. I tossed an empty pillow case over the part I rested my head on, but I wish that I had the whole thing covered in a higher-quality, smoother, softer, gentler pillowcase. It chafed my thighs a bit. I also hate that the interior is 100% polyester. I can really tell. It made me sweat a lot. It's not hot because it's a big pillow, it's hot because it's polyester. Fortunately we're heading into autumn, but I don't think that I could use it if it were high summer. Of course, we don't have air conditioning or anything, so we just suffer it out in the heat. If we had AC it might be okay. Just something to consider if you are thinking of buying this in the summer. Considering the low quality of materials that go into this pillow, I would have expected it to be less expensive.

I thought about giving a three-star rating, but decided that I couldn't rate the pillow that low if I wouldn't be without it. It really did improve the quality of my comfort, rest, and sleep. I just wish it were made of higher-quality materials.
