Great for backrub positioning!!, December 16, 2007
I usually would use this pillow on my left side with my back against one side, my head on the curved part, and my arm and right leg over the other side. It was very helpful in providing back support and giving me something to lean on in front, and since I'm normally a back or stomach sleeper, that support was wonderful.
I found the total body support of this u-shaped maternity pillow to be much more beneficial than the one-sided regular body pillow that I had borrowed from a friend during a previous pregnancy.
I did not use it every night. I only used it on the nights I had trouble sleeping. That way my husband still had his normal amount of space in the bed. On the nights I did use it, there was still enough room for the pillow and both of us, and we have a queen size bed.
I also used it as what I call a "back massage positioner." I put the two sides of the pillow very close together and left an open place near the top U-shape. I would put my belly there in that hole and then lay my head on a regular pillow above the body pillow. This allowed me to be "on my stomach" and receive a back massage from my husband.
My 2.5 year old son also loved this pillow. He called it our "nest" when he would come snuggle in it with me in the morning.
When the pillowcase is on all 3 pieces, forming the body pillow, I could not tell that there were actually 3 pieces inside. It felt like one continuous pillow.
I have not used it as a nursing pillow or youth bolsters. What great versatility, though!

Wow!, March 1, 2009
I was a bit skeptical, to be honest. I really did not think spending this much money on a pillow was a good idea, but let me tell you, it was. I'm pregnant, and up till now, I've been having hip/back pain to the point where I'm limping in the mornings. It's been 5 nights since I started sleeping with this pillow and I woke up this morning with NO pain what so ever. This pillow is a dream pillow, and I really feel bad for anyone, pregnant or not, who does not sleep with this pillow. I can't imagine sleeping with out it now. I will probably won't take it apart to use as a nursing pillow when my child is born because I don't ever want to sleep without it again.
The con: I'm tall. I'm 5'9 and my feet do not reach the end of the pillow. I like my feet supported when I'm side lying. So when I have a pillow like this that I sleep with underneath my legs, hips, belly, etc., I like it to go all the way down to my feet. It doesn't. It's fine if my knees are bent, but I sometimes like to stretch my legs all the way out, and then my feet hang off. I have had other pregnancy pillows in the past and they were all the same way. The good thing about this company (Moonlight Slumber) is that they make custom size pillows. I didn't realize that until after I ordered it. But, I suggest you go to their website and look at more information about the pillow, and if you also are tall and want your feet supported, spend a few extra bucks and get a custom sized pillow.
This pillow is worth every penny. I have slept soundly and pain free for 5 nights, and there is no price tag one can put on that. I have no regrets.

So Worth It!, June 6, 2009
I am 7 months pregnant and began feeling the effects of sleep deprivation about this time. I had been using about 8 different pillows to try to get comfortable at night but with all the tossing and turning you do when you're getting bigger, the pillows would scatter everywhere! It became an issue because I just could never get comfortable.
My husband is a "researcher" and spent hours looking at every pregger pillow out there, pouring over the reviews...he finally recommended this pillow but I hesitated because of the price point. He always wants to get "the best" whatever the cost. Well, he recently surprised me with the pillow and I have never slept better!
It is great because you sort of just sink into it and it supports your entire body. Also, it keeps you from rolling onto your back (which most doctors recommend) and provides just right amount of pillow cushion-not too full at all. The thread count on the pillow case is also nice and provides a nice smooth texture, not too coarse. The zipper is located on the outside of the pillow case and so it does not rub against your body at all. It is just the best pillow ever and I am sure I will use it with the next baby and also in between pregnancies!
