So far, I really like it. One thing though, if you get it with the traditional cover, I'd splurge and buy the jersey knit cover.... So much softer!!! I don't know why they bother selling it with the traditional cover, it's so rough. It does take up a lot of space though. We have a king size bed and with myself, my husband and our standard poodle, once we add the snoogle in, we're out of room! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-pillow-yay-or-nay/page/2#post-1715741 Mon, 23 Jun 2014 08:47:49 +0000 My Only Sunshine 1715741@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had the Snoogle and loved it. I was having bad hip and lower back pain, and it definitely helped me sleep and took some of the pressure off my hips. That said, I'm sure I could have Macgyver-ed some solution with pillows we already had in the house.</p> <p>Just a warning though, it is really huge! We called it our third bedmate, and I think my husband got sick of not being able to cuddle. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-pillow-yay-or-nay/page/2#post-1715695 Mon, 23 Jun 2014 08:29:17 +0000 snowjewelz 1715695@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Glitter: Ooo a mini one! And you can double it as a nursing pillow later! Love that!</p> <p>And I'm very interseted in the boppy wedge too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-pillow-yay-or-nay/page/2#post-1715281 Sun, 22 Jun 2014 20:09:49 +0000 Glitter 1715281@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ms.Pumpkin: Yep I used my regular head pillows, and kept the snoogle mini wrapped around my torso, back and between my thighs. The package comes showing a variety of ways to use it too. :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-pillow-yay-or-nay/page/2#post-1715244 Sun, 22 Jun 2014 19:42:53 +0000 delight 1715244@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just used a full body pillow that DH found for me at Costco. I haven't been able to part with it at 10m PP! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-pillow-yay-or-nay/page/2#post-1715230 Sun, 22 Jun 2014 19:37:48 +0000 Ms.Pumpkin 1715230@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Glitter: Woah, there's a snoogle mini?! This is awesome- it actually looks like it would take up a reasonable amount of space in bed, and I can still use my memory foam pillow that I love!</p> <p>Well that's a game changer! So glad you posted about it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-pillow-yay-or-nay#post-1715173 Sun, 22 Jun 2014 18:57:48 +0000 Mrs. BD 1715173@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes!!!! Snoogle.

I had a love hate relationship with that thing. It's so huge and awkward but it was the only way I could sleep comfortably. I'm almost 31 weeks and I don't think I'm far off from pulling it back. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-pillow-yay-or-nay#post-1713709 Sat, 21 Jun 2014 06:35:53 +0000 Glitter 1713709@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My snoogle mini was a life saver and now I use it as a nursing pillow. Love it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-pillow-yay-or-nay#post-1713589 Sat, 21 Jun 2014 00:38:19 +0000 Mrs Spoon 1713589@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sunny I second the boppy wedge! Adjusting in bed was already a production without a fully body pillow but the wedge supported my belly and was easy to adjust. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-pillow-yay-or-nay#post-1713477 Fri, 20 Jun 2014 22:10:00 +0000 dolphin 1713477@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Snooogle!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-pillow-yay-or-nay#post-1713058 Fri, 20 Jun 2014 16:49:10 +0000 allison 1713058@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I won't buy one, but I definitely wouldn't protest if someone gave one to me. Especially a u-shaped one.</p> <p>I just use three pillows--one for my head, and one on either side of me (between my knees and wedged under my back). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-pillow-yay-or-nay#post-1712949 Fri, 20 Jun 2014 15:30:46 +0000 LBee 1712949@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hate it, but mostly because I'm a cuddler and when I use it, I might as well be in a snow suit. My husband can't get near me. I call it Husband 2.0. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-pillow-yay-or-nay#post-1712948 Fri, 20 Jun 2014 15:29:20 +0000 snowjewelz 1712948@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jump Rope: Hahaha it's funny that your husband likes it too! I guess it can become a permanent fixture in the bed if it's that great! </p> <p>I kinda feel like I'll like it since I've always used a body pillow anyway... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-pillow-yay-or-nay#post-1712930 Fri, 20 Jun 2014 15:16:19 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1712930@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Boogs: I folded my snoogle in half and smooshed it, so it wasn't as thick and firm anymore. </p> <p>I've loved it this whole pregnancy. My husband loves it. I've totally caught him using it. We've got a queen sized bed, and fit just fine.... But I also don't sleep with the snoogle the way you're supposed to! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-pillow-yay-or-nay#post-1712914 Fri, 20 Jun 2014 15:11:20 +0000 sunny 1712914@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I liked the Boppy wedge pillow under my bump. It doesn't take up a lot of space either!</p> <p>When I got bigger I needed tons more pillows though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-pillow-yay-or-nay#post-1712901 Fri, 20 Jun 2014 15:01:02 +0000 rachiecakes 1712901@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>2.5 years after J was born and I'm still sleeping with the Bobby pregnancy pillow! So cozy </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-pillow-yay-or-nay#post-1712888 Fri, 20 Jun 2014 14:56:51 +0000 gingerbebe 1712888@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was using a regular pillow for my head and a long King-size pillow to hug, thinking the Snoogle was all hype. Then I got a giftcard that I used to buy a Snoogle and it was wayyyy better. I got it around 24 weeks and it was right when everything started hurting and stretching. I can see myself using it postpartum too, since I'm a side sleeper anyway. DH doesn't even mind it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-pillow-yay-or-nay#post-1712760 Fri, 20 Jun 2014 14:10:08 +0000 snowjewelz 1712760@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sigh it seems like it's so different for everyone! I already use a body pillow between my knees (I've had body pillow pretty much my whole life). Maybe I'll try putting one pillow under the bump for now and see... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-pillow-yay-or-nay#post-1712712 Fri, 20 Jun 2014 13:52:28 +0000 spaniellove 1712712@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got one of those u-shaped pillows in first tri and definitely got my money's worth out of it! Then I stupidly made my husband throw it out when I got home from the hospital and regretted it so much. Normal pillows don't even come close to my beloved pillow and my hips are crying out every night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-pillow-yay-or-nay#post-1712708 Fri, 20 Jun 2014 13:49:19 +0000 Weagle 1712708@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't the first time around. This time I bought a Snoogle, and it has made a works of difference! I sleep so much better now. In fact, I drug it on vacation with us :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-pillow-yay-or-nay#post-1712690 Fri, 20 Jun 2014 13:41:39 +0000 psw27 1712690@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just use a regular pillow between my knees and under the bump. My DH is super tall and there is no room for me, him, a snoogle and regular pillows in a queen bed! (especially since he sleeps like a starfish... oof.) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-pillow-yay-or-nay#post-1712674 Fri, 20 Jun 2014 13:36:26 +0000 plantains 1712674@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It was a huge yay for me, I loved my Snoogle. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-pillow-yay-or-nay#post-1712665 Fri, 20 Jun 2014 13:33:55 +0000 Pepper 1712665@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yay! I loved loved loved my snoogle. I may still sleep with it from time to time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-pillow-yay-or-nay#post-1712662 Fri, 20 Jun 2014 13:32:59 +0000 MrsF 1712662@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It was a definite yay for me! I had the boppy brand (haven't busted it out yet for this pregnancy) and it was a total life saver. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-pillow-yay-or-nay#post-1712611 Fri, 20 Jun 2014 13:15:53 +0000 Meridian 1712611@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It took me about 2 weeks to get used to my snoogle. I thought it was uncomfortable at first, but now I am used to it and it helps me sleep on my side (normally a back sleeper) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-pillow-yay-or-nay#post-1712511 Fri, 20 Jun 2014 12:38:12 +0000 pmerr 1712511@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I also had the kidney shaped Boppy pillow (on top of all the other pillows). Way smaller than the full body one and comfy. Also used it as a nursing pillow too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-pillow-yay-or-nay#post-1712497 Fri, 20 Jun 2014 12:34:17 +0000 meredithNYC 1712497@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't use one with my first, but kind of regret it. I was sooo uncomfortable at the end, but was like, eh, don't want to spend the money. Next time I'm pregnant I'm definitely getting one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-pillow-yay-or-nay#post-1712489 Fri, 20 Jun 2014 12:30:08 +0000 Ocean girl 1712489@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I loved my snoogle until it got too hot to snuggle in the summer (ha, snuggle the snoogle!) I just used a light weight pillow between my knees toward the end. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-pillow-yay-or-nay#post-1712469 Fri, 20 Jun 2014 12:23:04 +0000 edelweiss 1712469@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i just made do with 3 or 4 pillows. i don't regret not buying a pregnancy pillow, but that's also because i'm averse to accumulating stuff (we have been moving a lot in the past few years so i'm always thinking about whether i'm just giving myself more stuff to pack). </p>
