Edit 2/24/11: I've been using this for months now and I am 36 weeks. I love this pillow! I don't want to give it up even after I have the baby. It has made sleeping a dream (pun intended). I haven't had any sleeping issues with my pregnancy and it keeps me very comfortable. The cover washes and dries well, no shrinking or pilling. It hugs my body and supports my hips, back, and stomach.I bought this when I was a few months pregnant with my son. I was a stomach sleeper with a bad back and thought this might help me transition to be a side sleeper while pregnant. Well, it worked! It worked so well that I never got rid of it once I delivered. My son is 4 months, and I still sleep with it. It is the most comfortable pillow ever! And my back doesn't bother me anymore now that I'm sleeping in a better position. It does take up a bit of room, though. And the cover can be taken off and washed. It's held up really well. I highly recommend this even to people who aren't pregnant!!The Snoogle is amazing!! I bought it when I was about 20 weeks pregnant and having a terrible time sleeping. Since I got it, I sleep great and can get comfortable in bed and in other places like the couch. Every pregnant woman needs this pillow! Would not delay in buying this!I bought this pillow on recommendation from my friend who is 5'10". She raved about it and recommended I buy it to help me sleep on my side, since I am a back sleeper. The pillow is soft and accurate to its online description. Unfortunately, it is way too big for me and I am of average height -5'3". I think if the Snoogle was 6 inches or so shorter, it would probably work well for me, but it's just too long and doesn't hug my body when I sleep on my side. I generally go to sleep on my side with the snoogle and then wake up on my back. My husband, who is 5'8" loves it, so I guess I will just give it to him.I bought this pillow because I'm a back sleeper and wanted something to help me stay on my side during pregnancy. The pillow arrived during my 17th week of pregnancy. Initial thought -heaven.
I've had the pillow for eight weeks now.
PROS:
Love the soft cover. I bought a spare pillowcase so there's always a clean one to use.
Good back support, good at keeping the hips level.
Snoogle is not too firm or too soft.
Flexible enough to curl exactly as you wish.
Better than using multiple individual pillows.
There are a few other positions you can use with your Snoogle. It's nice to roll up to use when sitting upright.
CONS:
A tad too big for our full-sized mattress, but it still works.
Looses the tight C-shape after about a month. Again, still works, but it takes a little bit more arranging.
Hard to flip the Snoogle over (especially in the middle of the night). I can see this being a problem with most body pillows. You can leave the Snoogle in place and flip yourself over (still comfy) but you loose the back support.
The Snoogle can also be used for breastfeeding. Though I haven't made it this far yet, I won't be attempting it with the Snoogle as it would be too big and awkward -Boppie would still be best.
Yes, I would buy this again.
