Let me say that this pillow has been a god-send to me! From the very early weeks of my pregnancy, I have been experiencing fairly severe hip pain after I wake up. I tried putting a traditional body pillow in between my legs at night to relieve the pain, but it didn't help. I still ended up turning over 4 or 5 times every night because my hips were hurting so badly. I finally gave in at about 7 months and bought this pillow. I wish I would have had it all along! Here is what I love about it:

1. It contours to my body very well, so my belly is supported at all times.
2. If I do turn over to sleep on my other side, I don't have to turn the pillow too because it wraps all the way around me!
3. I have not had any hip pain since I started sleeping with this pillow. I used to ache for at least an hour after waking up and even limped sometimes because the pain was so bad. Now, I wake up feeling great!
4. It is not as big as it looks in the pictures. I am 5'8" and it fits me fine. I thought it would be way too big and take up my whole bed, but it doesn't. My husband and I have a queen size bed and we can both sleep comfortably without the pillow getting in his way.

I would recommend this product to any pregnant woman. I know you will sleep well with it!

I did a lot of research before deciding to order this pillow, and I am satisfied with my purchase. I am 26 weeks pregnant and my main problems were waking up during the night with lower back pain, trouble just "getting comfortable" in bed, and back pain throughout the day. Since I started using this pillow my pain has all but vanished! I still wake up during the night but I am able to fall back asleep much more quickly because it is easy to get comfortable. While I think I made a good purchase, there are definitely some pros and cons to consider:

Pros:
--You can switch from side to side without having to move or adjust the pillow
--The pillow holds its shape and doesn't get flat
--The pillow has awesome back support!
--Removable, washable cover in a neutral color (mine is brown)
--I think this will make an excellent nursing pillow, supporting both mom and baby

Cons:
--Cover is not very soft...I sometimes get the urge to put a soft blanket between my head and the pillow
--It gets kind of noisy when I switch sides or am trying to get "adjusted"....not so good if your husband is a light sleeper. Luckily mine could sleep through a tornado!
--It's pretty big. If you are sharing the bed with your husband, it would be best to have a king size.
--It's a little pricey, in my opinion. But then again, can you put a price on comfort and sleep? At least the shipping was free!

I would definitely recommend this pillow to other pregnant women. Just keep in mind how much space you have in your bed and if you have room to store it!

I bought this product because a lot of people had success with it. I am 5'4 and feel overwhelmed by all the pillow. I have used it 4 times and it now is now off the bed. It felt like I could never get a handle on how to lay in it. I think it would be better suited for a taller person without short legs. It is still good quality, however, and if you are willing to spend the money give it a try.

I purchased this when I was at 22 weeks because I started experiencing hip pain. I tried sleeping with a pillow between my knees, but the pain persisted.

I've been using this pillow for 2 weeks and absolutely LOVE IT!!!! It provides a head pillow, pillow support for my back, my belly, and for my legs all in one. I normally wake up surrounded by pillow softness, and the support (especially for my back and belly) has been amazing!! What's even better is if I switch from my left to the right side, I don't need to bring the pillow with me. It's already there because it surrounds you. I just nestle into the keyhole opening and I'm good to go!

I am 5'2", and fit fine within this pillow. We have a queen sized bed, and it fits fine. In fact, its about as wide as half a queen size bed, so hubby can't inadvertently sneak over and force me into a small space on my side. The pillow ensures I get my half of the bed!

I like that the cover is removable and washable. I get very warm at night, so I wash the pillow cover on a regular basis. It's not the softest material, but once I go to bed, I don't notice it at all.

Totally worth the price to sleep better from now until my baby is born.

I bought this pillow on the recommendation of a friend, and immediately found it too soft when I took it out of the box. I tried to return it before I even used it, and was informed it was NOT returnable. When I asked how I would know that, I was directed to a series of links that led me to a very buried return policy. Don't buy it unless you're sure! I spent $70 and I still can't sleep, and I will probably have to buy something else instead.

It made the world of difference for my wife, now she can sleep horizontally and not sitting down!
A little warm though, specially when women get hot all night...should've bought one with a cooling material.

I hate this pillow. Had such high hopes after reading the reviews....not sure if people who dont like it just dont write reviews or what.

Its very flimsy. Could be stuffed 10x as much - which is what I would have needed to get ANY support at all from it. My arm totally fell asleep - could not get comfortable at all.

What a waste of money....

I have had arthritis for five years now. It's hard for me to be comfortable sleeping. This pillow makes it so much easier to sleep and be comfortable. It supports in the right areas without leaving sore knees touching. The knee pillows don't stay with me and are too thick. I tried a different one of these type pillows. But, the curve where the neck goes was stitched too tightly. This one has a very comfortable curve that doesn't cut into your neck or shoulder. I change sides during the night and it was nice to know the other side was right there waiting for me. I am a heavy person and the support for lower back and belly is appreciated, too. The only down side is that the pillow is a little "crunchy" sounding. I'm hoping with use, that will be more quiet. The cover on this ones goes on and off much easier than the other one I had.

I am not pregnant but purchased this pillow after a recommendation from a pregnant lady. This has been a life saver after my laperoscopy surgery. I am able to snuggle either side of the pillow and put the other side over my waste to protect me from any of my puppies from crawling on me in my sleep and hurting me. This has made my recovery so much more comfortable than I could ever imagine!!!!

I just bought this product. Although this is baby #7 the closest I ever came to a pregnancy pillow was a cheap one my grandma bought at target on sale. However I am only almost 6 months and already I am HUGE. and pain is the name of the game. so to get a good night sleep hubby agreed I should try this. It came pretty quickly and the kids had fun opening it and finding the "giant mom sized octopus." as they called it. But it is comfy. It was afraid to buy it as I am 5'10 and many people complained that different preggie pillows were uncomfortable (I didn't want one as stiff as stuffed animals from amusement parks - you know those giant ones). This one feels like it was stuffed with feathers and yet is very plump. Unlike other preggie pillows this one has a pillow shaped head. It's "legs" are great for people like me who like to roll over 500x a night. the back "leg" supports my back. I don't know how easy it will be to clean as the cover doesn't seem to come off. I guess I could put a 2x pair of mens sweats over it- jk ; ). I can see how it can help with sleep nursing. I do imagine after the pregnancy (and nursing settles down) one of the kids will obscond with it- its just one of those things....
