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!

This pillow works great...it's not so huge that it takes up too much room on our queen sized bed, but works perfectly to help me align my back correctly when sleeping on my side. It also flips over to support and keep me from lying on my back in the middle of the night. I also use it to prop myself up for reading and can see where it will come in handy breastfeeding.

I love that i can use my own pillow for my head with this one. The fabric is really soft and it works well preventing me from rolling onto my side and back. Would recommend!

Update Oct '10: This has been a lifesaver through two pregnancies and a c-section!! my husband hates this as much as i love it since it takes up so much room in our queen bed.. The pillow is holding up great, do wish there was a second cover option though..

I am a stomach sleeper, and of course, being about 6 months pregnant at the time I bought this pillow (now 8), I couldn't really sleep on my stomach anymore. And they recommend you sleep on your side when you are pregnant anyway. I had to find something to help me stay on my side. This pillow looked like exactly what I wanted.
I didn't want the kind of pillow where you have to use it under your head, too. I am picky about my pillow, and have one I love. I bought this because I could use it upside down with the curve between my knees.
This pillow is good, but there are a couple things I would change. It is kind of firm and overstuffed for my taste, but that's a matter of personal preference. I also wish it was longer. I wanted full body support and to be able to hug the pillow, but this one only comes up to my chest/top of my stomach. I am 5'3" tall, so I figured it would be long enough. This is the main thing I don't like about the pillow. It is great how you can use it several different ways. I chose to keep it, but ended up buying a Snoozer pillow that is much longer and I like it better.
I will probably use this pillow later when I am not pregnant and don't need to full body support. I can also see using it to breastfeed.
I don't think this is a bad product. The quality is good. It just isn't exactly what I was looking for. That is mostly my fault. I looked at the picture and assumed it was long enough, but didn't read the actual dimensions that were listed. It think if you aren't looking for full body support, or are shorter in stature than me (although there aren't too many who are, lol), then this pillow would work fine for you. Hence, I am giving it a good review.

I am coming back here to add to this review now that my son is 9 months old. I didn't end up using this pillow much to sleep with, but it worked out great for breastfeeding! Since I am a plus sized girl, it fit me a lot better than my Boppy. So this turned out to be a great purchase even though I didn't end up using it for what I had intended.

I am a gal on a budget, so price is what attracted me to this pillow. Next was the size; smaller than most. It fit my growing body during my second and third trimesters, and gave room in our queen-sized bed for both me and my husband. I strongly recommend this pillow.

I bought this for my wife and it worked great. She was so much more comfortable then trying to use our sleeping pillows. She stopped waking me up in the middle of the night by throwing her leg all over me trying to get comfortable. If you can increase their comfort level by 50% it is well worth it. Get this product.

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.

There are alot of preggo pillows out there and i went with this one because of the affordable price. I am 5'3" tall and i feel like it was made for me! I was experiencing major back pain and since using it, i have about 90% less pain. This pillow allows me to elevate my entire leg at just the right height to keep my hips straight and i think that is the key. Also, its not too bulky for our queen bed and i love the fact that you can adjust it. To boot, its MADE IN USA......thats reason in itself to try it out!

My wife calls this the best present I gave her while she was pregnant (not sure if that's a reflection on this product, or my gift giving prowess). It is the perfect shape for multiple sleeping positions, but it doesn't take up too much room in the bed. We also purchased a pillow case for a body cover that rendered the strap useless, but I don't know that she would have used it much anyway and the pillow case kept it out of the way. After our daughter was born, the preggle became a back support/baby rest for nursing, and a place to set our newborn in a reclining position before she became mobile. Highly recommended for new fathers to be who take an interest in the comfort of their pregnant wives.

I call this my noodle pillow, my husband gets a kick out of it. I have only bought this pillow for my pregnancy so i have nothing to compare it too BUT its great. At 23 weeks I was having back pain and would wake up in the middle of the night and morning in pain.Since I got this pillow its made sleeping pain free and so comfy. You can lean into the pillow and put one of your legs over it for support. LIFE SAVER. The one thing that got me to buy this was that I can still use my own pillow which others dont seem to give that option. i sleep with a special pillow for my neck so its worked out great! Def recommend
