Leachco Back 'N Belly Pregnancy/Maternity Contoured Body Pillow, Polyester, Ivory , 55x33x8.5 Inch (Pack of 1)

-U-shape: allows me to roll my body over (hard enough already at 25 weeks) without having to pull a pillow with me every time. It was hard enough moving a regular sized pillow under the blankets and without waking my husband. With this I just roll over and the pillow is there on the other side. Also, it is really really great to have the pillow behind you as well. It allows you to lean back against it so you're not in the exact same side position but not on your back either. - Contours: really give your belly that extra support so all that weight is not pulling down towards the mattress; and for me at least, they seem to be positioned decently well whether I use it open end up or down. - Versatility: I started out using it with the open end down. This was comfy, but i felt like I had to always pull the "feet" back together so that my feet could be raised at the same level as my knees in order to keep my hips aligned as I was having significant hip pain. I switched to using it with the open end up and like it much better this way. I keep a regular pillow handy above my head but rarely use it. I just use one of the "feet" as my head pillow. The belly support is still in the right area and I don't have to worry about my feet. One other great example of versatility is the option to use it for sitting. I just slide it up on my bed and sit inside the little donut that is created and have the legs up behind me, against the headboard. Super comfy for sitting up in bed. I think the option of using it for a nursing pillow would be comfy but it's a relatively heavy pillow and it seems like it would be difficult to maneuver and then have to have someone hand you baby. - Price: I really had trouble hitting submit payment when I ordered this. Who spends that much on a pillow?? But even in the few weeks I've had it, the quality of sleep I get has been well worth the money. Less pain and less waking is amazing. - Size: Like others have said, this is a pretty big pillow. We have a queen size bed and it takes up just a smidge over half the bed...if I'm careful. Hubby had complained a couple of times, but most nights he just cuddles right up to it and even asks where his part of the pillow is so he can put his knee up on it as well. I miss being able to cuddle against his shoulder but as my belly grew (and grows) that's not comfortable anymore anyways. - "The Seam": A lot of reviewers mention the seam on the inside of the U. I was a little worried about this but found it not to be as huge of a problem as it has been for others. Even when I was using it with the open end down, I didn't think the seam was insanely sharp or painful. Tight, yes, but I never noticed it digging into my shoulders or neck. To each their own I guess...plus now it's a non-issue for me as I flipped that seam down to my feet. Overall I think this pillow has, and will continue to be, a great investment. I'm glad I went for it and didn't get an inferior pillow just to save $20. It really has been well worth the price. Go for it.

Why I Bought This Pillow: I started having a little trouble sleeping during my 1st trimester but an extra king-sized pillow to snuggle with fixed the problem; however, I started having a lot of trouble sleeping in the middle of my 2nd trimester even with the extra bed pillows. I ordered this Back 'n Belly pillow when I was 25 weeks pregnant and have been using it for the past month. It is WONDERFUL! It is an absolute must-have for me! How I Use This Pillow: My husband and I call it the cloud pillow because it feels like I am sleeping in a cloud! Several reviewers commented that the seam at the bend of the pillow was uncomfortable and that the pillow was too short. These have been non-issues for me because I prefer to sleep with it upside down. I still use my regular pillow for my head and I hug the "arms" of this pillow while I sleep. I am 5'4" and I sleep with the top of the arms about chin-level. If I stretch my legs out all the way, my ankles are on either side of the bend in the pillow which is very comfortable. I put a pillowcase designed for a "body pillow" on each arm and they almost meet at the bend in the pillow. That way I can just wash the pillowcases without having to take the cover off. King-sized pillowcases work well too...they are a little snugger and fit the arms better but stop a little short of the bend. Pros: -Keeps me from rolling over on my back most of the time. (I only roll onto my back if I do not tuck the arm snuggly under my back before I fall asleep.) -Provides great support for my arms/chest, belly, knees and ankles. -In certain positions, helps elevate my feet when legs/ankles are swollen. -I sleep through the night (except to go to the bathroom) instead of waking up with the sensation that I'm rolling backwards. Cons: -Takes up a lot of space, but works fine in our king-sized bed. (We tried it in a queen-sized bed at my inlaws and I would not recommend it.) -A little bit hard to crawl in and out of with a big belly, but worth the effort. It helps to crawl under the arms instead of going over top of them. -Difficult to change the cover for washing, but not necessary very often if you use extra pillowcases on the arms.

Shipping was very fast, arrived on a Friday even though the expected delivery date was a Monday. The pillow itself is very large (I'm 4'11" though) and comfortable with a lot of padding inside. As other reviewers have mentioned, there is a hard seam on the inside of the pillow, but I personally do not find it interferes with the overall comfort of the pillow. Other reviewers have mentioned the pillow feeling hot during the night, but I have not experienced that. Overall the pillow is very comfortable and has relieved my back pain. I find I wake up less during the night tossing and turning to get comfortable. My only gripe would be that I can no longer cuddle my hubby during the night. Otherwise, the pillow does exactly what it states and has relieved a lot of soreness that I have been experiencing throughout my pregnancy.

Lo compre principalmente para mi esposa, que esta embarazada y que las almohadas ya no eran suficientes o se volvían incomodas. A partir de que comenzó a dormir con esta almohada, ha descansado mejor de su espalda y no se ha despertado constantemente como antes lo hacía con las almohadas tradicionales. Antes de comprarla leí que necesita mucho espacio, y efectivamente es grande, por lo que una cama King Size sería lo ideal, para tener espacio para ambos, a menos que duerman muy juntitos ;-) Incluye una funda que es lavable y es muy fresca. Llego mucho antes de la fecha estimada, eso fue genial.} Altamente Recomendable
