I would give this 5 stars just for its use as a pregnancy pillow. It was great because it is firm so it didn't sag and gave me the support I needed and wasn't so huge that it took up the whole bed. Then I opened it up and used it for my baby's tummy time and the short barrier kept the dog out so it stayed clean. We did that for about the first 2 months until he got too tall to fit. I didn't use it as a nursing pillow at first because it seemed too big and awkward, but I put it behind my back so I could sit up in bed to nurse. Now my baby is 4 months old and I just purchased a glider (should have done that 4 months ago) and I have rediscovered this pillow because it is big enough that my 16lb 4 month old can still lay on it to nurse while I rock him. I have recommended this to friends. oh, and another reviewer mentioned it is hard to clean, so I kept mine covered with 2 standard pillowcases.

This multi-purpose pillow is a great source of comfort and convenience that has proven beneficial. It is almost hard to believe that one pillow can do so much, yet it does everything claimed perfectly and is very easy to use.

Im still pregnant so i dont know how it'll be for the baby however, I cant sleep without this pillow. It makes everything so much more confortable. I dont know how i'm going to wash it but the part thats made for "mommy use" is the outside. Then you can unzip it and use the middle for the baby so its not getting dirty.

With our third child on the way my wife has had much more trouble getting comfortable this go around. We purchased this and it has been very valuable to her, and me, cause now she can sleep which means so can I!

I read other reviews on amazon before purchasing this pillow and I found that overall I really like this pillow. Someone suggested using 2 standard pillow cases to cover the bumpil and I think that works pretty well and it is an easy way to keep the pillow clean. I was pleased with the size of the pillow it is big enough to have between my arms and legs for more comfortable sleeping while I am pregnant. As far as using it with the baby...baby isn't here yet so haven't had the chance. Though I would have been happy paying $25 for this pillow even if it didn't convert into all of the baby products. I have had it for about a month now and it has slightly lost it's original shape but I find it more comfortable now that it has "conformed" to the way I sleep.

I was having trouble trying to use our decorative pillows to keep me on my side, as they mostly ended up on the floor. I bought the Bumpil because I like multi-purposeful products. We also have a queen size bed, and was concerned that all the other preggo pillows were too big (I'm only 5'1"). I've used the pillow and it helps (and reminds) me to stay on my side. I do plan to use with the baby when she arrives.

I used this for pregnancy as a body pillow and it was great! Now that my son is 8 weeks old I can say we still use it! He didn't seem interested in it or anything until around a month old but he actually likes the white and just hanging out in it. I'm so pleased to get dual use from a product like this. Also I can still use it to sleep. There is no cover which is annoying but I just put two pillowcases over each side to protect it while pregnant.

I had some much back pain during my pregnancy I went ahead an bought the bumpil, figuring its multi-purpose-ness would make up for the price. While it helped some, I still had back pain during my final trimester. Moreover, the thing is practically impossible to clean, and it only comes in white. By the time my baby was born the pillow had become quite floppy (the one time I opened it to try to clean it I couldn't put everything back exactly in place) and was useless as a nursing pillow. I haven't tried any other pillows, so I can't say another one would have been more comfortable, but the pillow definitely doesn't live up to its claims of usefulness.

This pillow was awesome for sleeping while pregnant! It took quite a while to find a comfortable position even using this. It really helped me out. I needed my sleep as I was working 40 hours week up until week 38. So far, I have not used the pillow for any of the other uses described on the packaging. Maybe I will at some point. I would recommend it. The only issue that I have with it is that it is not washable. It is also fairly large -- which is actually why I liked it so much. However, it takes up as much room as another person in the bed almost!!!!!!!

Nice small area for tummy time, but not a great pillow to use for sleeping while pregnant. It wasn't convenient for nursing either. It isn't simple to clean and the stitching ripped when I tried to pick it up.
