I'm starting to think about buying a pregnancy pillow (14 weeks, I figure I'll need it soon) but there are so many kinds!
Does anyone have any recommendations?
-
I had the snoogle and the snoozer I think it was. The snoogle was just so big. Both were great though. Snoozer is pricier but smaller. Couldn't live without it esp when I was pregnant with Charlie!
-
I had the snoogle too, and it was great! Now with my 2nd pregnancy, I've just been using a regular pillow and I'll "cuddle" with it on my side to fall asleep and that's been working fine too.
-
I have the snoogle - love it!! Started using it around 18 weeks I think.
It is huge, but we have a king sized bed so its fine.
Not sure how I would sleep without it!
-
I bought the snoogle mini because i thought it would be more compact.. and it is but it feels too short for me (and I'm 5'2!). I have had the best luck with a $10 sleep wedge for under my belly (amazon) and a regular old body pillow.
-
I have the full body boppy and I like it.
-
I bought a snoogle and couldn't sleep with it so returned it. I slept on my back most of pregnancy 1. This time around I sleep on my right side a lot.
-
I just have the boppy wedge pillow that I got as a hand me down. I use it under my belly when I lay on my side and it is perfect.

I have the full body boppy and it's just ok. It makes a tiny bit of improvement for me but nothing a $10 Walmart bod pillow couldn't do.
-
I had a boppy 'comma' shaped pillow. I'm not sure what it's called. I got it at Babies R' Us. It was like 39.99. I liked it because I could use the thick part if I wanted it under my stomach or between my knees.
-
I bought the Snoogle at the recommendation of my chiropractor and started using it at Week 18 and was so glad I got to make the most use out of it! It was the only pillow I needed the entire time!
-
I just got the boppy pillow yesterday and I am not impressed. At almost 30 weeks, me trying to flip my huge tummy over to the other side multiple times a night with this huge cumbersome pillow did not really go over well. Plus it kind of hurt my neck!
-
I went with the el cheapo Target $10 body pillow, and it worked perfectly for me (I am 5'0" so didn't need anything big). I had round ligament pain around 20ish weeks, and it stopped it after a day or so of using the pillow.
-
I'm 19 weeks, and I've just been using a regular bed pillow between my knees and kind of under my little belly for a few weeks now. So far it's been fine, and I haven't been able to justify an expensive pillow. Half the time I wake up and it's behind me, so...I think I like it for falling asleep, but it doesn't seem to be as necessary all night long.
-
I bought the Snoogle since when I asked this question on another board, about 80% of the recs were Snoogle. I'm just having sleeping/back problems in general so I can't say that I've honestly been using it much yet (16 weeks). I can see myself using it more once the weather cools off. I'm 5'4" and the length is fine.
-
I had the boppy wedge pillow and it was perfect to tuck under my belly and on my back. I also used it post partum to tuck under my belly after my c-section. It was worth every penny!
-
I have snoogle & have used it since ~18 weeks? I honestly don't remember. But I stopped about 2 weeks ago (at 38 weeks) because its big and even though we have a king size, I'm in so much pain at this point (due tomorrow) that nothing helps.
-
I have a body pillow right now, but I toss and turn so much that I haven't even used it the last 2 weeks.
-
BRU brand snoogle.
-
I have a Boppy comma pillow.
-
I actually didn't buy any! Am I totally missing out?!
-
I just use a regular cheap body pillow and then I have two bed pillows that I can arrange if I need to (or stack so I'm elevated for acid reflux). I'm 33 weeks and it's worked fine for me so far.
-
I have a snoogle. I bought it early, around 8 weeks, and it's taken me until 13 weeks to actually enjoy sleeping with it. I am normally a flat back sleeper with no pillows, so it was quite an adjustment.
-
like @lemondrop & @LemonLong i just use a cheapy body pillow from target. i usually sleep hugging the body pillow with it between my legs and under my belly, then i'll put another regular bed pillow behind me to support my back. it's worked great for me. it was $10, and i just couldn't justify spending over $50 on a pillow!
-
I have the Bobby full body pillow (looks like two boomerangs) and I like it a lot, and I have the Bobby Wedge pillow which when I hit around 30 weeks I could not live without!
-
Not preggo, but ever since I was a newborn baby, I've always had a body pillow. When @highwire posted that Zulily had a sale for body pillows, my hubby suggested I buy this one because then he could utilize half of the body pillow with me. ha! http://www.amazon.com/Todays-Mom-Comfort-Pregnancy-Pillow/dp/B001A0M3LI/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1348502841&sr=8-2&keywords=coolmax+body+pillow
I love this pillow because it's like getting cuddled 24/7. However, it's large! We have a queen sized bed and it takes up half our bed. It also sucks for actual skin to skin cuddling since you have two large pillows on either side of you. Fortunately, they "flip" up easily. I also don't have neck pains/issues as some people have mentioned.
-
I have the Boppy full body one. So far I like it and its all I need.
-
I bought the Preggle (BRU brand). It's not that great and I'm now wishing I had gotten the Snoogle, but I refuse to spend that kind of money now that I'm more than 1/2-way through my pregnancy.
-
I love the snoogle! Seriously worth every penny!
