When I reached the point in my pregnancy where I had to be more conscious about not sleeping on my back, tried sleeping on my side. I'd end up tossing and turning and waking up the next morning with back pain. I shopped around and decided to get the Snoozer Body Pillow based on reviews. After a couple nights of getting used to the best way to use the pillow (I sleep with the crook of the J between my knees), I finally had a good night's sleep with no back pain. After using the pillow for about a month, I'm still happy with the pillow.

I like having the length of the pillow behind my back when I'm on my left side so that I can lean against it to tilt my body when I roll on to my back. I also like to curl up with it when I sleep on my right side.

The only thing that could be improved is that I'm having trouble getting the synthetic down to poof back up after it flattens out. This is only a problem with the part that goes between my knees, but that's a fairly important part. I've tried moving filling down from the rest of the pillow to that section, but it doesn't help.

My cat takes over the pillow during the day and likes to sleep in the crook of the J. =^..^=

I bought this pillow at 14 weeks pregnant, I'm now 25. I've travelled without it and am always kicking myself for not bringing it along with me. 3 pillows do not substitute having this thing, even 3 comfortable pillows and a good mattress. When I sleep without this, I end up on my back (I'm a chronic back sleeper), then I have major aches and pains. This pillow is the only thing that allows me to comfortably sleep on my left side, which they say is best for the baby, and best for you. An added bonus is that I don't snore anymore (my husband thus loves it too). The cost of this pillow is high, and there is a cheaper version on Amazon, but I read the reviews and the other/cheaper version had a scratchy pillowcase and was a firmer pillow overall. This one is synthetic down, so you can move it around to suit your needs. I also sleep with it upside down that what is pictured here. It gives better leg support, and I didn't want to give up my normal down pillow. (I know, fussy fussy) I personally think that it's worth every penny. If you can get a good night's rest, it makes your pregnancy that much easier. Another thing that I've found helps with sleeping on your side is one of those featherbed mattress toppers. You can get them for under $100 at Bed Bath and Beyond. It helps with the added pressure on your shoulders and hips that pregnancy adds.

I love this pillow. My husband got me this as a gift, and it is one of the greatest gifts I've ever gotten! It got me through two pregnancies and is working it's way through my third. It has really helped relieve my lower back and hip pain. I sleep like a baby.

I purchased this pillow when I was pregnant with my first child 3 years ago. I use it upside-down, with the curved part supporting my knees and then use my regular pillow for my head. But it is so much more useful than you might think. I also put it in a horse-shoe shape and prop it against the head board for reading. I use the same shape to provide my upper body with an elevated sleeping position when I have a cold. For new mommies, this is a great breastfeeding suport pillow with endless configurations to support you and baby. The pillow case is super soft, like that very old t-shirt you love that has been washed a million times. The polyester synthetic down fill allows for amazing longevity - it retains it's shape and when a part of the pillow gets a little flat you can really just fluff it all back into place in about 30 seconds. I recommend an extra pillow case or two since the special shape of this pillow would make it hard to go out and buy a regular case and you will use it so much you'll want the extra cases. I am very picky when it comes to sleep support - get this pillow!!

I'm in the middle of my first pregnancy, and have been having trouble trying to sleep on my side (have always been a back sleeper...) I bought this after reading all the great reviews. It is certainly a soft and high quality pillow...HOWEVER...I am very tall (5'9) and the pillow does not work well for tall women. If my head stays on the curved part as shown, there is not enough pillow to support my legs. Trying to compensate has left me waking up with a horrible stiff neck. Also, the cover is difficult to put on. Overall, I'm sure it's a good pillow for most, but tall gals, beware...it's a waste of money!!

I purchased this pillow at a baby expo, so I got to try it out before I bought it. I found it to keep my hips,back and head well aligned which greastly reduced my aches and pains. I even bought my 11 year old son the smaller version of this pillow, and he never sleeps without it.

My husband loves this pillow, because I don't take up the entire bed anymore with my tossing and turning to find a comfortable position. In fact, I've caught him napping with it.

When I announced I was pregnant, a good friend mentioned that a body pillow was essential for a good night's sleep during pregnancy. Knowing that I love to sleep, my husband purchased this Snoozer pillow for me as a Christmas present. I am now almost 8 months pregnant and although I have tried using the pillow multiple times during the past three months, I have never liked it. Whenever I read the other glowing reviews here, I honestly wonder what is wrong with me and I try the pillow again, but every experience is the same - negative.

I personally cannot get comfortable with the Snoozer. The first problem I encountered was that the head portion was too stuffed, so I developed a horrible ache in my neck from being bent at an awkward angle. So I beat down the stuffing as much as I could and tried again. Since then, every time I have used it, I have woken up in the middle of the night to throw it on the floor and pick up my regular pillow. The constant problems:

1) When I sleep on my side spooning the Snoozer with the "J" at the top under my head, the arm under the pillow always falls asleep which causes me to wake up. I've always been a side-sleeper (even before my pregnancy) and I never have this problem when using a regular pillow.

2) The bulk is too much for a queen bed. With both my husband and the Snoozer in the bed with me, I'm cramped (and we are both fit, average-size people).

3) It's cumbersome to reposition the Snoozer if you move during the night. This is related to #2 because it's practically impossible to turn over with this pillow in a queen bed with another person sleeping beside you. I don't understand the claim made in the description of this product that you can "move freely during the night" and the pillow "follows your motions and sleeping positions"; maybe I'm doing something wrong, but it's been nothing but a big hassle for me. I move around a lot in my sleep, primarily shifting from one side to the other, so I inevitably have to completely wake up and change the Snoozer's position - not conducive to a good night's sleep. I've tried different variations, with the "J" under my head and alternatively with it between my legs, and nothing works.

I guess I'm lucky that I can sleep great with just my regular pillow this far into my pregnancy. Hopefully I can get my (husband's :) money's worth by using this as a breastfeeding support, because otherwise this pillow was a waste for me.

I waited until I was 23 weeks along to get this and wish I would have bought it earlier! I was tossing and turning in bed with 3 regular pillows before this and wasn't sleeping well through the night. This pillow is soooo comfortable and soft! I fell asleep right away with it. I agree with some other posts that it is difficult to turn over with in the middle of the night, but it really hasn't bothered me. I had more trouble moving over with the 3 regular pillows that I was using before. With this pillow I sleep longer in one position, and now I find that I only turn over once during the night. I have to uncover myself, turn over with it, and put the covers back over and then I'm done and fall right back to sleep. In my opinion, this is the best pillow to buy. I saw the Snoogle in the store and didn't like the material as much as this. It's worth the money!

I received this pillow as a gift and it was a sleep-saver! I used it throughout the second half of my pregnancy and now for a few days post-partum.

I did not notice any issues because of my height (5'10") as did another reviewer. My husband, the pillow, and I fit perfectly fine in our queen size bed; he actually gets more room now, since I'm corralled into my side of the bed by the pillow. He also likes to lean against it while we sleep when I'm on the pregnancy preferred left side. I was a stomach sleeper pre-pregnancy and this pillow made it possible for me to stay on my side and get a good night's rest. I did not have issues turning from side to side and by the end of the 9 months was actually quite adept at it. As you can imagine it's not a simple task, but not exactly impossible and after a couple of weeks becomes second nature. I did notice my arm falling asleep from time to time while on my side, but I can't fault the pillow for that, since I'm not usually a side sleeper. I'm still using the pillow post-partum while I get back to normal size. I've also been using it for nursing and it's absolutely wonderful for that as well. Makes me and my baby boy quite comfortable those 8 to 12 times per day.

The Snoozer is definitely worth it for anyone considering a pregnancy pillow. I'll be purchasing one for my sister who's just in the 1st trimester and already complaining about the multiple pillow problem.

My fiance wanted this for his birthday, so I bought it for him. I tried it one night, and now I steal it from him every night! It's so comfortable, whether you're pregnant or not! Would recommend to anyone - it's well worth the cost!
