I've only ever used the Boppy, but I love it. I use it every day. I even got a second one to keep at my IL's house.

I have a Boppy and a travel Boppy.
I think the Boppy is great now, but for early nursing, it was too soft to get LO positioned right. I used a My Brest Friend at a lactation consultant's place, and it was sooo much easier with a floppy newborn. Now, at 7 months, I love the Boppy and use it regularly.
The travel Boppy is convenient for on-the-go, but I think it's too unstructured (and a bit small) for "perfect" nursing.

8 months later im still using a king size bedroom pillow. I had a c-section and found it hard to use the boppy or the mombo

I have a boppy and a my breast friend. The breast friend was definitely best for the first couple weeks when she was tiny and floppy. Now I use the boppy sometimes but most of the time I just hold her. I would go for the boppy because you can use that around the house in addition to just for feeding.

I have My Brest Friend upstairs and the Boppy downstairs. Love them both. MBF was great in the beginning and I preferred it over the Boppy. But like @mamamoose said, the Boppy got easier as LO got older. I like the Boppy better for traveling too.

I had both the Boppy and My Brest Friend. I prefer My Brest Friend for the first 4-6 months and the Boppy as she got bigger.

Gia! Gia! It's a good compromise between the MBF and Boppy. You don't have to hunch like with the Boppy and you don't have to strap it to you like the Best Friend.

Love the boppy and he loves laying up against it in his back and tummy! I use an a a blanket under his head with it so my hands are free. I sometimes use my pregnancy pillow as well.

I love my Boppy. My DH calls it a 4/4 because it reminds him of a tutu but bigger.. lol

I had My Brest Friend and did not like it. The support in the back actually made my back hurt. And I always had to prop it up on other pillows underneath it when LO was a newborn. I bought a Boppy when she was about 3 months and have loved it.

I used a Luna Lullaby Bosom Baby pillow for the first month and then a Mr Brest Friend for the second month. I completely stopped using nursing pillows completely after two months.

@BeachMama: Same here. The back support was a pain. I much prefer my Boppy.
