I purchased (from another online store) the Fossfill Comfort U Total Body Pillow roughly 4.5 years ago when I was pregnant with my first child. I was hesitant to pay THAT much for a pillow, but I took a chance. I primarily purchased it because I was having trouble staying on my side while sleeping. I would constantly wake up and be on my back (which wasn't good). Anyway, it worked great in keeping me laying on my side, providing back support/relief and supporting my growing belly. I used it during the hot Texas summer and I was not at all too hot (granted, the A/C was running). The only complaint came from my husband, who said that it took up alot of space on the bed. It does provide excellent protection if you sleep with someone who moves/kicks around alot while sleeping. :) Seriously, if you are sleeping with someone in smaller than a king-size bed, this pillow does take up extra space (imagine a king size pillow in front of you, as well as behind you).

The REAL benefit of the pillow, however, came when my son turned 2 years old and moved to a full-size double bed. This pillow is the PERFECT size to make an "L" shape on the bed along the headboard and agaist the wall to provide comfort and additional support to a small child. It works much better than regular pillows (since it is more compact and firmer) and is much safer to use on the bed. The pillow also washes and dries up great. I've washed and dried it numerous times, and it still looks great. I highly recommend this pillow, especially for use on a full-size bed for a toddler. I have definitely gotten my money's worth on this pillow.

I bought this pillow in my 4th month of pregnancy (twins) because my doctor recommended that I sleep on my side. But I'm a back sleeper and it hurt my shoulders, hips and legs to stay on the sides all the time, particularly the joints. I had to use 2-3 pillows to support my knees/belly, but then I'd wake up several times during the night to flip and re-adjust everything - very disruptive! I heard some of the other maternity support pillows became soft and lost their fill, so I bought this one because I heard it was firm and long. It has not disappointed - in fact, I credit this pillow with saving my sleep habits. I actually turn it around so the U is by my feet and I use my own pillow as usual. In this arrangement, I find it provides great support for all of my joints from shoulders to ankles. It has not lost its fill, although it does need a little fluffing once in a while when the fill shifts - no big deal. It is great for tall people - almost a little too long (I'm 5'9). Sometimes I have to "find" it, it is so long. It also provides support from the back, so you can lean back on it without being fully on your back - gives me a break from lying on my sides. This pillow will probably be great for nursing too and extra support for the 3rd trimester. Overall, I love this pillow and would recommend it to anyone who has joint pain, back pain, or is pregnant.

While this pillow was a bit pricey, it has been worth it. I'm tall (5'9"), so was concerned about other pillows being long enough for me. This one is perfect. I've slept well ever since I've gotten it - hip pain is gone, leg cramps are history. I love that I can turn over in the middle of the night and not have to worry about readjusting the pillow or flipping it over with me. It does take up quite a bit of room in our queen bed, but it has been worth it to get a good night's rest. I highly recommend this pillow. I did get the Fossfill version, upon reading reviews of the other version being too hot and needing fluffing. I do need to fluff my pillow a bit sometimes, but not very often. And, I don't find it too warm at all (I am sensitive to this too).

Only complaint is the cost. Why a pillow is $100, I don't know... But, I do know I'm glad I bought it anyway. Will even be taking it with me on a multi-day road trip.

This will be my second Comfort-U full-size body pillow. The first one became flat - when I called the manufacturer, they told me that if this starts to happen, which it often does, to place the pillow in a dryer for 10-15 minutes to fluff it up. They also sent me a free replacement. The process to fluff-up the pillow really works.

I have tried all the pillowcases. I find that the one that comes with the pillow is best.
The organic cotton was made out of a weaker fabric and there is a stress point on the pillow case on the inside of the curve, which may tear.

Buying an extra pillowcase or two is a great Idea and I recommend the white cotton-polyester one. The gray fleece case is much too long for me (5'2") and only works if you need to add additional length - you can stuff additional regular bed pillows in the ends to make the pillow longer.

One final note - if the pillow itself gets soiled, be prepared to buy a new one. Surface stains come out fine with a little soap and water but deeper soiling doesn't come out and I have found that no matter how you try to wash it - from commercial washer/dryer to dry cleaning - the pillow material loses its loft so much that it becomes useless.

But this pillow has helped me *tremendously* with serious arthritis and back pain and sleep apnea so I didn't mind buying my next pillow.

If you have fibromyalgia, buy this pillow. If you are pregnant and having trouble getting comfortable, or are experiencing pain from your sleep position, buy this pillow. It has been a very long time since I spent this kind of money on something - I am telling you that the minute I laid down with it, I was positive this product was worth the money. I will continue to use it after my child is born, since it is so helpful with my fibromyalgia pain and sleep problems.

The fill is perfect, neither too soft or hard. You will be grateful that it has bolsters on both sides, as you don't need to move the pillow if you turn over. I have been sleeping with it as shown in the photo with the curved part as the pillow for my head. I have not needed any more pillows.

You will not struggle to get the cover on. The zipper is on the outside of the pillow so you don't feel it at all when you are sleeping. The cover is soft, it is not scratchy against your skin.

I wish I'd had this pillow from the beginning, when my fibromyalgia was diagnosed in 1997. Even before that, I had FM symptoms and I have been fighting to get a good night's sleep ever since. This pillow helps me get closer to that, by relieving pressure on my joints and muscles.

No, I am a problem sleeper and sleep on my sides 90
percent of the time. It's a comfort to me once you
develop your comfort zone .Lying on your back
you can over hang your arms and legs ; It's still
comfortable . I also incorporate my sound
machine and in no time I'm off to
La La Land.Overall It works for me.

I know that many people buy these types of pillows for their pregnant significant others. However, I bought this pillow for my wife who works long hours and doesn't always get into a heavy sleep. Since getting this pillow, she gets an amazing night's sleep. It is extremely comfortable, and our kids love the occasional snuggle-moment with it as well. The only downside is that it is extremely long, and that if it's not laid out carefully, it can seem like there's a third person in the bed - it's THAT big.

This pillow is great. I love it. My only complaint is it has to be fluffed daily to keep it nice and poofy, The length fits me perfectly, I am 5'2" and there is some left at the bottom. You probably don't need it to fit your body more than to your knees. The rest is just luxury.

My wife loves it and has been able to get a good nights rest since it arrived. This means rest for me as well...Yay! The starchiness of the pillow cover irritated her so I'd reccommend giving the cover a wash before use...but other than that, well worth the price. sleep is grand!

My pregnant wife loves it! Important notes:
The pillow is very large and takes up half of our king bed. My wife is just over 6' tall and it's a perfect fit.
The cover is quite comfortable and smooth with the zipper on the outside and out of the way.
The fill options can be confusing. This particular fill (Fusion Fossfill on the site and Fusion Fiberfill on the box) is resilient and breathes well.
