Leachco Back 'N Belly Chic

I was going to purchase the origional back n belly pillow untill i called leachco about the chic version. After speaking to the rep about the improvments i decided to pay the extra amount of money and give this a try. Im glad i did.

Reviews of the origional back n belly state that the seam in the neck area cuts into their neck and or shoulders.. Well, not with this one! Leachco took care of that issue.. A company that listens to their reviews!! The seam is gone and in its place is an additional strip of fabric which takes away from the tight and uncomfortable seam in the origional pillow.

I cant describe it well but if you check out the todays mom pillow there is a photo of their neck curve section and this pillow is exactly like that at the neck now. It does not dig in to my neck at all.

This pillow also now has a zippered cover for easy removal. The fabric isnt itchy but it does make noise when you move on the pillow. Its not quiet like jersey knit and it is slightly louder than my normal pillow case but not by much.

I havent noticed myself getting hot with this pillow.. A little warmth is to be expected anytime you are covered by anything but i honestly got hotter with all my bed pillows lining my body thani do with this pillow.

I was expecting the pillow to be a little more stuffed.. But then againi i expected it to be stuffed to the brim after seeing the photos of it.. Which it wasnt. It is still just over 8 inches thick however and it is firm.

If you like a soft squishy pillow that wont support you when you lay on it then this isnt the pillow for you. I saw a reviewers photo of the todays mom pillow and even though she was a littler gal her knees were almost touching when she layed with the pillow. I wanted my leg to be proped up so a firmer pillow was required. That being said, ive had the pillow for just over a week now and it is a little less full than it was when it arrived which is ok as i expected that as well. If all pillows flatten a little youd want the firmer one to begin with so its just right once you break it in rather than becoming a pancake!

I am 32 weeks along with my second baby and have been experiencing severe hip pain after a couple hours of sleeping at night. Even if my bladder didnt wake me up id have to get out of bed just to get my hip pain to go away. I also had lower shoulder blade pain that would develop during the day which felt like stabbing in my back due to my rib cage opening up to allow for the growing baby. Since i began sleeping on this pillow, both issues no longer exist!!

I am about 5 foot 5 and this pillow though slightly longer than the origional, only comes to just above my knees if im not laying in the fetal position. I feel it could still be longer. I dont raise my legs up nearly as high as the model in the photo does so i still need to use a pillow at the end of this to prop up the rest of my leg otherwise it causes some tension on my back.

Yes the pillow is big but not as big as i expected it to be. It looks wider in the photos than it really is but it does still take up just over half of a queen size bed. If you lay the pillow across the bed the length of the pillow is about as wide as a queen size bed.

I needed belly support as well as back support which is why i bought this instead of a snoogle. I found myself sleeping on top of the pillow, on my side rather than in the pillow. Laying on my side with my arm under my head on top of the pillow then another pillow under my legs also on top of this pillow, it supports my belly without making my belly to high in the air and it keeps me from laying on my hip so there is no pressure there to cause hip pain. If i have problems breathing then i will let my legs wrap around the pillow so i am still at a slight angle with my head higher than my legs and it helps keep the baby out of my ribs a little.

Even if i do try to sleep with my arm under the pillows head spot and my legs wraped around the pillow, i dont feel like my head is to high up but the head portion does seem to be stuffed a little fuller than the feet of the pillow are.

I have tried to use the pillow with the upside down and the overlaping feet under my head but they feet dont really stay in place well and its hard to get out of with your legs enclosed in the us, though this way to is comfortable.. I think its better for back sleeping in this direction which isnt suggested during pregnancy.

Before i got this pillow i would have pulling on my belly if i slept on my side without a pillow under my belly and if i couldnt breathe well id slant my top shoulder back slightly which would cause my back to ache without support.. This prevents all of that!

I honestly hoped that i wouldnt like this pillow so i could return it to where i bought it because i hated the thought of spending 78 dollars with shipping on a pillow but... Im not returning it as i had so little sleep due to hip pain before getting this pillow. Im really in shock as to how well i have been sleeping now that i have this pillow! Its deffinetly worth the cost and the improvements have taken the cons out of the pillow. If you decide to buy this pillow, give it a week at least befor deciding wether or not you like it. It does take a few trys to find the position that works best for you and it takes a little getting use to but once i did, i couldnt have been more comfortable!

I was nervous to purchase this pillow, based on some other reviews about the seam in the fabric being uncomfortable. I am so glad I ignored those reviews and made the purchase! It is wonderful and has transformed my nights. I've been sleeping with this pillow for about two weeks, and I love it. This is my third pregnancy and through the other two I always had the j-shaped pillow. That was great, but I had to flip it over as I changed sides throughout the night. As I got larger and larger throughout the pregnancy, it became increasingly harder to flip that pillow over (as well as to flip myself over!). With this fantastic, comfortable pillow, you can just roll over and snuggle into the other side all night long. The pillow height is great, and you could always stick another pillow on top of the head support if you wanted to be propped up higher. This pillow is the perfect length for me (5'8"). I love that I can just curl up in it and it supports my head, back, belly and legs. The only con against this pillow is that it's very difficult to get out of the bed at night. I found that lifting the one side over my head and crawling under seems to be the solution. It's sort of cumbersome to try to climb over the top of the pillow and flop off the bed. Also, if you have anything other than a king-sized bed, this pillow might be a little larger than you'd like. My husband and I have plenty of room with the king-sized bed, but we'd be crowded in a queen. I love the removable cover, too. I've already washed it a couple times, and the zipper made it a breeze to get off and on.

My husband bought this pillow for me early on in my pregnancy as I was having a hard time getting comfortable in bed and was getting annoyed with constantly adjusting the pillows behind my back and between my knees. We started researching different types of pregnancy pillows on Amazon and came across this one. The reviews were good and it seemed like the shape of it would solve all of my sleeping issues. That being said, I was a tad concerned about the price. Seemed expensive for some fabric filled with cotton. But since it would be a gift from the hubby he insisted on getting it (I think he also wanted his nights back seeing as my tossing and turning woke him up as well:)

When we received it, I couldn't rip the box open fast enough! I was so excited to try it out. Upon using it I found the pillow to be somewhat stiff at first but after a few nights loosened up nicely where I tended to lay my head more. I immediately slept better just by not having to adjust pillows around me. You lie in the middle and turn from side to side no problem. When I need to get up and use the restroom (which most pregnant women often do:) I move the left "leg" off the bed like I am opening a car door, and get up with no hassle. The "legs" are very easy to maneuver. On many occasions I fold over one leg on top of my belly and place my laptop on it.

I have had this pillow for almost three months and the contoured shaped accommodates my growing belly perfectly. I also catch my hubby snuggling up to it in the middle of the night:) The pillow cover is surprisingly easy, despite it's awkward shape, to remove, wash, and put back on.

Recently the hubby and I went out of town and stayed at a very nice hotel. I had chosen not to bring my pillow with me and paid for it greatly. I tossed and turned all night and was up for good at 4:30 am with no hopes of returning back to sleep because I was so incredibly uncomfortable. Needless to say I was overjoyed to snuggle up to my wonderful pillow the evening we returned home.

*I do have to say that if you are looking for an easy travel pillowthis one isn't too easy, It doesn't fold up well and can be very bulky to pack in the car. BUT I assure you that even though it is bulky...I WILL DO WHATEVER IT TAKES TO MAKE ROOM FOR IT WHEN WE TRAVEL. I will honestly NEVER travel without it again. It makes THAT much of a difference.

Bottom line: I don't know where I would be without this pillow. I shutter to think of it! I highly recommend it to every pregnant woman out there looking for some comfort and a good nights' rest. I think it's safe to say that it has helped to make my pregnancy that much more enjoyable for both me and my husband!

I read a lot of reviews and debated this purchase. After several more nights of charlie horses and sore hips due to being six months pregnant, I buckled. It took a little adjustment to figure out how to hug it and have it snug you in, but once I did, I have been sleeping well. It does take up some space in the bed, but we have a king, so it's not too bad. The fabric cover is not a 400 thread count, but it's not scratchy or noisy like I read about some of the other pillows. It is nice to switch sides without knocking over lots of different pillows and easier to get repositioned after getting up.

Bought this for my girlfriend. She had been having some trouble sleeping about halfway through our pregnancy. This really helped. She sleeps longer, deeper, wakes up less, and experiences less soreness. It was a little stiff the first few nights, uncomfortably stiff. After it broke in, it was perfect. If I take a nap when she's not around.... I use it, It rocks.
