My Brest Friend Pregnancy Wedge, Sunburst

I own two of the other pregnancy wedge pillows from the other company that starts with a B and is "toppy" in some folks minds. Anyway, this pillow is wider and the edge is flatter/sharper than those other ones so it covers more surface area. I think the lift is slightly less thick as the other one but I don't think it will make much difference. The other one mushes down and crushed a bit where this one has not yet. Both are fine pillows. I just think this one offers more flexibility for different sizes and shapes. I am a huge fan of the Brest Friend products. I breast fed my daughter for 15 months and I can say without reservation and with absolute confidence that Brest Friend is just hands down better than the other brand. I took a breast feeding class offered by the hospital before my daughter was born. The NICU nurses and lactation consultants who taught it had piles of the Brest friend pillows for everyone to try. They were crystal clear about the fact that they do not recommend or endorse the other one because it just doesn't hold a candle to the Brest Friend pillow for moms serious about breastfeeding. The only people I know who liked the other brand failed at breastfeeding for various reasons or only made it a couple days/weeks (so not exactly pros or able to give reliable recommendations on these items long-term). I'm sure some love the other brand and are loyal (they do have cuter covers for the pillows -but after all -that's not what counts). I'm sticking with what the pros recommend and what I know first hand was a fantastic brand/item and a real lifesaver. This pillow is of equally impressive quality.

This worked for those first few weeks of discomfort with a growing belly, but once I was 24 weeks, this no longer helped. It's kind of small and didn't give enough support. This being my first pregnancy, I will keep it and use in future firm,y first few uncomfortable,e in the regular mattress weeks, but will then go to my 3" memory foam mattress topper hat is the on,y thing that provides relief to me now that I'm 29 weeks

Pregnant check. Uncomfortable laying down check. I finally bought this wedge at about 20 weeks, when I decided that I needed *something* to prop up my tummy, but a regular pillow was way too thick. I didn't even look at these in the store first; I bought based on Amazon reviews. Someone said the thin edge of this wedge is thinner than others, so I went for it. It's a remarkably small product (maybe you won't be surprised, if you've seen these before), but it's amazing at its job. (Also, I'm not a small girl 5'9", not thin, just in case you're looking for a comparison before you buy!)

It's easy to put the wedge into position, and I honestly don't feel like there's anything under my tummy when I'm falling asleep. And yet, I'm no longer uncomfortable, so I'm clearly being supported. Awesome.

EDIT: I forgot to mention that this little wedge has a zip-off slip cover. The plastic zipper is around the wide edge (doesn't get in the way). It's a nice feature, and I'm not sure why they don't mention the zipper in the description or show it in the picture.

so I bought this after a lot of people on my babycenter.com birth board suggested a wedge instead of a full on pillow I was REALLY excited about the prospect of not having as much hip pain when I lay on my sides, as suggested by the doctors when you're expecting.

The product arrived in record time thanks to a Prime account, and is a nice shape, but it's just a flimsy cut of foam. It is not very strong, very firm or anything. The more towards the end you get that is straight, the thinner the foam, thus... less protection/comfort. While it holds my growing belly just fine, I still have to turn it with me every time I turn over, and I still get really sore hips from laying on my sides so much.

All in all this product TECHNICALLY does what it's supposed to It props my growing belly up so I can be a bit more comfortable in bed, but it doesn't get the job done when I have to keep switching sides because my hips hurt. I'm currently hunting down a memory foam wedge that might help!

UPDATE: 2/15/12 I am now 16 weeks along and carrying a giant baby... I look much farther along than I am, or that this is NOT my first pregnancy! haha... so I've been having some issues getting comfy with the belly over the last few weeks so I thought I would try the wedge again. It's just been laying on my bedroom floor by the bed and I've tried it again several times to no avail. As my belly is getting bigger it sure does support my bump from hanging, thus my back muscles from straining some... but it props my whole upper body backwards so I'm halfway on my back! So not worth the money, or the trouble I keep suffering when I try to use it again hoping I've gotten far along enough that it'll actually be supportive. Nope! So sorry.
