I didn't vote, I had the Boppy but honestly didn't like it. I preferred a normal pillow, less bulky.

This was also on my "unnecessary" list as the boppy was pretty much worthless to me (never tried MBF). I am tall, so it didn't even put baby at a level with my boobs when I was sitting.
I used regular pillows, and they worked great!

I bought both and didn't use either. Personally, I just sat criss cross applesauce most of the time and fed ds in my lap. I didn't find the need for a pillow or anything else, but do admit I have a short torso. I wouldn't recommend needing these if you're shorter but I could see if you were taller how one of the two might be useful. My understanding (when I bought both) was that the "my breast friend" was great at first and the "boppy" was better long term.

@CatchAFallingStar: I would recommend the blessed nest nursing pillow. Best purchase I ever made.

I still use a Boppy and my daughter is almost 18 months so I highly recommend it, but then again I have never used my Breast Friend. I am short (5' tall) and nursing without the pillow hurts my back and shoulders.

I liked both. One friend gave me her Boppy and another lent me her My Breast Friend. I loved having the Boppy during the day and the other one, I kept in my bedroom for MOTH feedings.
