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 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.

This pillow is amazing and has helped me sleep great all throughout my pregnancy. You can adjust it to fit your body exactly where you need the support. It's better than the body pillow because it gives you support on your back where you really need it when you are pregnant. I put the bottom of the U by my feet and use my reglar pillows. It's great to wrap my legs around it, or my knees in the front and my feet hit the backside. It has a great cover that zips off so that you can wash it. You won't be dissappointed with this pillow. Who would have known that this would make sleeping pleasant, even while being pregnant?

I bought this pillow when I was about 17 weeks pregnant and used it right up until the end of my pregnancy. It was a godsend, especially for those nights when you just can't get comfortable, and for the final trimester, when your belly needs a little cushion to rest on as you sleep. I highly recommend it. The only downside is that once you're done, it's hard to store. You need a big sterilite or Rubbermaid container for storage.

I started having quite a bit of pain especially in my mid-back around 20 weeks or so of my first pregnancy. I had heard about body pillows, but I couldn't see how the back pain I was having, in the middle, often one side and at the end of the day, could be helped by a pillow. I went to massage, I had acupuncture, I tried to stretch throughout the day....Finally more out of desperation than belief I ordered the Comfort U petite body pillow. My life has changed! I LOOOOVE this pillow. I sleep on it usually in the same position as in the picture, and it is great to be propped up in back as well as being able to support my knees with it and use it to support a growing belly. I have also rolled in into a kind of doughnut shape and add another pillow for my head- like this I can lie on my stomach, belly in the hole. I am 5'4" and the pillow when I am lying in it on my side comes mid-shin. I might have preferred the longer version. My husband is quite jealous of the pillow so sometimes we lie in it together; the longer one would have been better for this too. The one thing I wish is that it came with an extra pillow cover. I wasnt able to order one on amazon so had to order from another site and I still dont have it yet.....But overall, I love this pillow. I was skeptical, but it has saved my back, helps me to sleep much better, and has made life great! At 28 weeks now I have no back pain. I wish I had bought it earlier!

The product weight, which was the main reason for buying this, is stated to be 20 lbs. It is NOT even close to that. It is more like 5 to 6 lbs.
For that reason, it was not going to work out for me in my situation.
