Snoogle Chic Jersey - Snoogle Replacement Cover with Zipper for Easy Use - 100% Cotton Knit - Sand Review

This item was very poorly made. I was afraid that it wouldn't even stand up to a wash, or putting it on the pillow. The zipper was very cheap, the fabric was thin and scratchy. It did not match the description online (or the packaging that it came in.) I immediately returned it. Now, I just wrap my pillow in a jersey sheet and it is much preferable.

I had read many reviews on how the pillow cases for the Snoogle were very difficult to put on.I was worried at first about this in purchasing this item.I was pleasantly surprised when I received this item and found that the pillow case was actually 2 pieces.It was quite easy to put on.I basically rolled each side of the pillow case like you would with a sock and slipped it on.No problems at all and without difficulty!

I truly love this pillow but I have some issues. First, my husband and I have a queen size bed and this pillow cuts into his side greatly. Second is the way that the pillow case is put on and off, it really is a struggle to make this big pillow squezze into the pillow case. Other than that, love the pillow.

Preggle® Comfort Air-Flow Body Pillow - Ivory/ Khaki Review

Preggle® Comfort Air-Flow Body Pillow - Ivory/ Khaki
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I tried several other pregnancy pillows before I ended up with this one. This is the only one out there that I could find that wasn't made to go under your neck/head as well as between your knees. I have problems with neck pain and headaches and needed to be able to use my regular pillow. I am currently in my last month of pregnancy and having been using this pillow every night since about 4 months. I would not be able to sleep without this pillow. With any body pillow it is hard to roll over with it but at this point I am so huge that the rolling over at all is a task anyway. I have had a lot of hip and back pain throughout my pregnancy and this pillow is the only reason I am able to get any sleep at all at night because he it provides excellent support for my both my back and hips.

The air flow strap on it was more hassle than it was worth and was usually in the way more than anything so within the first few weeks of using the pillow I made my own replacement cover (without the extra strap thing) for the pillow out of an old sheet and it works much better without that thing. Although the air-flow strap was a bit of a nuisance I still give this pillow 5 stars and would recommend it to anyone who wants to be able to use their own pillow under their head and still have a contoured body pillow to put your arms around and the curve to go between your knees. This pillow is also excellent for putting behind you to allow you to lie on a backwards angle without actually lying on your back. I bet this will also come in very handy once baby boy arrives to provide support during breatfeeding, either way I'll be holding on to this pillow long after pregnancy as it is the most comfortable body pillow I have ever owned and tried quite a few over the years!

Serenity Star Pillow - Transitional Body Maternity Pillow Review

Serenity Star Pillow - Transitional Body Maternity Pillow
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I was a bit skeptical, to be honest. I really did not think spending this much money on a pillow was a good idea, but let me tell you, it was. I'm pregnant, and up till now, I've been having hip/back pain to the point where I'm limping in the mornings. It's been 5 nights since I started sleeping with this pillow and I woke up this morning with NO pain what so ever. This pillow is a dream pillow, and I really feel bad for anyone, pregnant or not, who does not sleep with this pillow. I can't imagine sleeping with out it now. I will probably won't take it apart to use as a nursing pillow when my child is born because I don't ever want to sleep without it again.

The con: I'm tall. I'm 5'9 and my feet do not reach the end of the pillow. I like my feet supported when I'm side lying. So when I have a pillow like this that I sleep with underneath my legs, hips, belly, etc., I like it to go all the way down to my feet. It doesn't. It's fine if my knees are bent, but I sometimes like to stretch my legs all the way out, and then my feet hang off. I have had other pregnancy pillows in the past and they were all the same way. The good thing about this company (Moonlight Slumber) is that they make custom size pillows. I didn't realize that until after I ordered it. But, I suggest you go to their website and look at more information about the pillow, and if you also are tall and want your feet supported, spend a few extra bucks and get a custom sized pillow.

This pillow is worth every penny. I have slept soundly and pain free for 5 nights, and there is no price tag one can put on that. I have no regrets.

This particular body pillow is useful, but I think you can find comprable ones for less money.I removed the cover to wash it and was never able to put the pillow back in.The "air flow" feature isn't exactly that, but once the cover came off I found the pillow to be just fine without it.The pillow actually helps with my carpal tunnel issues caused by pregnancy and I can use it to more or less sleep on my back without causing my blood pressure to go up.All in all, I'm glad I bought it.

DreamGenii™ Maternity Body Support and Feeding Pillow Review

DreamGenii™ Maternity Body Support and Feeding Pillow
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I bought this pillow based on the positive reviews on Amazon, which I want to thank every reviewer that posted. Informative shopping is the way to go. I'm overwhelmingly glad I got it - I love this pillow. That said, I've never tried another preggie pillow, so I don't have anything to compare it to. What works for me could possibly be related to my size, etc.

I'm about 5'8", small build. I've had achy hips & knees prior to being pregnant and buying a memory foam mattress topper helped remedy that. Being pregnant added new challenges. The pillow supports very well where I need it most-knees, belly, back and breasts. It is soft enough, comfortable enough and still firm enough that you can tilt on your back a bit, but still be mostly on your side as doctors recommend for pregnancy. This pillow keeps me pretty comfortable considering I'm a back sleeper and side sleeping is not natural for me.

Being pregnant, I've found myself going for roomier comfort (bigger bathroom stalls, looser clothes, isle seats, etc). I don't feel the pillow takes up too much room on our queen-sized bed typically shared with a couple of cats. I've tried using the photographic set up like you see here on Amazon & the packaging, but it doesn't suit me. I take up the right side of the bed (if you're looking at it, not in it) and I prefer to lay on my left keeping the shorter side of the pillow by the edge side of the bed for quick maneuvering to the loo in the middle of the night. This way I'm not climbing over that longer side or bonking my poor hubby or kitty in the head with it if I fold it upward. With the shorter side set up on my left, it supports my stomach and breasts better. Not to mention, then the longer side stays along my back really preventing me from rolling onto my back and the "tail end" of the pillow still curves in and supports my knees. Brilliant!

The only drawback to this product - finding additional or different pillow covers. The pillow comes with a simple white cover that's machine washable & dryable. You'll have to order covers from UK sites because this is a UK product. Shipping to the US is pricey. I was lucky enough to talk a nice UK eBay seller into letting me pay int'l shipping for his very affordably priced Dream Genii cover on eBay UK. It took a few weeks, but now I have a back up cover in case something happens to the first one (I get too pooped to wash it). I still feel happy with my purchase and that it deserves 5 stars.

UPDATE --
After using the DG for pregnancy, we now use it as a boppy-type pillow for the baby. What I didn't mention above months ago is that the DG pillow folds into a u-shape and the baby sits inside, supporting baby's body, neck and head. During my recovery, it kept my baby very comfortable next to me or on my lap, helping with feedings or just adoring my little one. My kid loves being it and I can't be happy enough with how helpful it's been during my pregnancy and postpartum recovery. Postpartum, I was on bed rest with weight bearing restrictions, had mobility issues and the worst pain of my life. Products like this are a Godsend. It's a tool that has many uses. And I can't put a price on being able to have my baby near during this amazing, yet stressful time.

Product Description:
DreamGenii™ Maternity Support and Feeding Pillow, now available for the first time in the USA! The award winning and best selling maternity pillow from the United Kingdom.DreamGenii pillow was born out of Vanessa Blake's need for a good night's sleep while pregnant with her first child Lucas. After trying every pregnancy pillow on the market and still not enjoying a night's sleep, she designed her own. The DreamGenii is designed to position you in the optimal sleeping position for the health and well being of both mother and baby. The DreamGenii Pregnancy and Feeding Support Pillow is recommended by labor nurses across the UK. DreamGenii is recognized as the only specifically designed support pillow to adequately support back, bump and knees at the same time without taking up all of the room in the bed, thus allowing you and your partner to get a good night's rest. DreamGenii is designed to encourage you to sleep on your left side, in the recovery position, which, if used regularly from the second trimester, can encourage baby to get into the optimum position for birth. However, DreamGenii does not restrict your movements during the night and is just as comfortable while lying on your right hand side and gently prevents you from rolling on to your back during your sleep.Once baby has arrived, DreamGenii Maternity Pillow can be used as a feeding support pillow. The leg support fits comfortably into the small of your back, whilst the back and tummy supports fold over to form cradle shaped support for your new baby. Unlike other feeding pillows, the DreamGenii gives essential back support and allows for a comfortable position without putting any strain on any post birth aches and pains. This makes it ideal for breastfeeding and is an excellent support for women who have had a caesarean.

Boppy Cuddle Pillow with Cotton Slipcover, Sage Circles Review

Average Reviews:

I am now almost 5 months pregnant and was waking up every morning with back pain and hip pain from not sleeping comfortably. I tried a regular pillow between my legs, but found it was not enough support. I then saw this pillow in Babies R Us and bought it. I LOVE it! I love how it's all in one, a pillow to support my belly and for in between my legs to keep my hips aligned. I like the softness of the pillow and it's not too big and offensive that it kicks my husband out of bed. It's easy to roll with me from side to side in the middle of the night and now I also use it to sit up in bed at night when I read.

I think this is a great product especially considering it is cheaper then some of the other products on the market and it provides support right where I need it so I don't need 5 different pillows or wedges to support me and my growing belly. I definitely recommend it to anyone!

Comfort-U Total Body Pillow Full Support Pillow CU9000 Review

Comfort-U Total Body Pillow Full Support Pillow CU9000
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I hesitated to buy a $100 pillow for pregnancy. But I'm not a side sleeper, so I was having real problems sleeping by about 16 weeks. Every time I turned over, I'd have to re-adjust all my pillows. So I took the plunge. This pillow has fulfilled all of my expectations and then some (I'm now 34 weeks, so have used it for almost 5 months). I'm a pillow snob too (I have 'my' pillows that I have trouble sleeping without), and this pillow is the perfect combination of soft and supportive. Also, a couple reviews said it was for 'large' people, which worried me, but I personally haven't found this to be the case (I'm slender and 5'7", and then there is the pregnancy bump of course!)

I chose this pillow because I wanted a 'horsehoe' pillow that went down both sides of my body, as the doctor said I could half-lie on my back as long as I had pillows propping me at an angle. This is why I chose this pillow over the other pregnancy pillows that only go on one side of your body, and I'm SO GLAD i did. I cannot imagine having to move a huge pillow from side to side every time you roll over. Added to that, with this pillow I can lay on my side and curl around it with the front of my body, then also lean back a little with the pillow behind me to get a bit of a different position. The pillow is always there no matter how I shift positions! I tried to sleep without it for one night when I was staying at my mom's, and my hips had sharp, shooting pains and I barely slept. Yes, it is that dramatic!

Some people have commented on the size - it is a big pillow. I have actually slept with it in a single, queen and king sized bed, as I learned I can't sleep without it and so took it with me when I traveled (in a huge duffel bag - again, I love this pillow). In a king-sized bed, my husband has plenty of room and there is no problem whatsoever. In a queen bed, there is a bit less room, but my husband didn't complain, especially because he can curl up to the outside of it as well. It even worked with me alone in a single bed! I guess the one downside is you can't cuddle with your partner (my husband calls it my 'nest'), and I do miss that, but honestly, I'm up and turning and going to the bathroom so much that it would keep him up anyway!

The only downside I could think of is that the stitching in the zipper seam of the pillow case frayed a lot with the first wash. After that, I was worried that the pillowcase would soon fall apart, but it hasn't (it's had about a dozen washes now). I now just make sure to zip the zipper closed when I wash it, and that works to prevent the fraying.

By the way, this is my first Amazon review, though I've purchased many products. I just have heard a lot of women in my prenatal classes complaining about sleep, so I wanted to share how well this pillow worked for me.
