I hesitated buying a pregnancy pillow at first because I felt they weren’t worth the money when I could just use multiple regular pillows for support, but I quickly changed my mind after getting this pillow. It was comfy, supportive, and affordable. I used it for my last trimester and some change and loved it. Sleeping on my side was very uncomfortable until I got this pillow. I would tuck part of it under my belly for support and the other side would support my back. I didn’t have issues switching sides at night either though I did prefer using the open end to support my belly vs my back so I would sometimes flip my pillow around when I switched sides. This pillow is thinner than others on the market which I really liked. My husband could even snuggle with me some while I was still supported by the pillow. Also, the thinner profile kept it from getting to hot and from taking up too much space in the bed, which was nice because we have a queen size bed and slept on a full size bed for a month. I loved this pillow so much for sleeping that I even bought a new suitcase so I could take it on trips with me. I even have used it postpartum because it is so comfy. I tried a U shaped pillow by Leachco and returned it promptly. Though the thicker profile initially seemed nice, i found that it was very hot and took up too much room in my bed and really was unnecessary. I liked this PharmMeDic pillow much better. I know some people like the thicker design because it props them up more and helps with heartburn, however, I would just use my regular pillow on top of the PharmMeDoc when I had heart burn and this offered worked just fine. On nights of sever heart burn I would actually fold the pillow in half and sleep on my back or even sometimes side while the pillow kept me at about a 45 degree angle.
All that being said, though the thickness was fine, I do wish it was just a tiny bit thicker. And if you really need extra support this may not be for you. I would say this pillow probably has the same thickness as regular sleeping pillows.
Bought this for my pregnant wife. She absolutely loves this thing. Our dog even loves sleeping in it all curled up.
She prefers sleeping on her back as opposed to on her side. But since she's pregnant, she's not supposed to be sleeping on her side. This pillow discourages her from rolling onto her back when she's sleeping, and it doesn't disrupt her sleep at all. She loves that it's malleable and it contours to however she sleeps.
When she gets up for work, I roll over and nuzzle myself into this pillow and fall asleep instantly for another hour or two. I prefer pillows that are a little more firm, and this is on the softer side. But keep in mind, this is for my wife, not me. So it doesn't matter whether I like it or not (but I do quite like it). Happy wife, happy life.
This pregnancy pillow has honestly helped me to sleep so much better. It supports my stomach and my aching back. I can fold and move this pillow around so many different ways to fit me and help me sleep comfortably. This has been the best $40.00 I have ever spent. I will even use this after pregnancy. The pillow is also cooling so when you are in a deep sleep you dont wake up hot and sweaty. I am in love with this pillow. My boyfriend even loves it. He is jealous thati did not buy him one.
Now that I am no longer pregnant my boyfriend sleeps with this pillow every single night. But seriously if you are looking for a comfortable pregnancy pillow, consider buying this one. You will not be disappointed.
I had been having a really hard time staying asleep, I would wake up every night around 2 or 3 am and could not go to sleep. It was really affecting me, I tried staying up later, going to bed earlier, eating, drinking, everything. Finally my husband said we needed to order one of these, I got it about a month ago and I have slept like a baby ever since. It does not get too hot and it is very long, I could do with it being a foot shorter, but I am on the short side so that's just me. The pillow case is removable and washes easily but the pillow does not, our roof leaked directly on our bed last week and we were unable to wash it in the machine, which was annoying. If you are pregnant or just uncomfortable sleeping, order this now. I never want to be without it.
If you are pregnant woman you will immediately fall in love with this pillow. It is soft, supportive, and of great quality. You will be toting it everywhere with you and likely unable to sleep without it. I cannot think of ANYTHING I have bought my wife that she enjoys more than this particular pillow.
Now, men or whoever is sleeping with this wonderful sleeping woman... Beware the Seahorse. Yes, I said Seahorse. This pillow will replace you immediately. Which for most men is a great thing, because you will no longer have a restless, pot bellied heat bear trying to wrestle you in your sleep.
Your partner will be sleeping uninterrupted all night. However!!! You will now have a violent, plush seahorse tail unexpectedly emerging from under the covers right into your nether region from time to time.
This Seahorse pillow WILL find your groin. At first it's kind of nice... A soft unfamiliar object coming to say hello in the night. Until BAM! You now no longer need to worry about having more children. The merciless Seahorse has struck! You wrestle to regain your breath while not waking your partner. You quietly slip out of bed and off to the living area to regain your strength. When you return, the inexorably vicious Seahorse has claimed your spot in the bed! Do not attempt anger the seahorse by pushing it back in to place. No, no, no. Admit defeat and avoid the vengeful wrath of the Seahorse.
