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.

WOW. Just wow. I slept on this last night. You know that desperate feeling when you realize you have lived without something absolutely necessary for your whole life and you are suddenly panicking that you are going to lose the opportunity to hold on to that necessity? If this things dies, flattens...whatever, I must ensure this company continues making it, so I can obtain a replacement! I am actually tempted to order a back up right now. It was THAT GOOD. I had forgotten how good sleep can be (*crying tears of joy*).You see, I am a petite (5"5, 112 pounds) back sleeper. What this means is that I can never get comfortable. I wake up if my husband taps his foot. Every time there is a hint of needing to use the bathroom. Any excuse, really, to get out of bed so I can give my body a break from sleeping in one position all night, since doing so means I often have an aching pain in my ribs. I assume this is b/c my petite size means I never really sink into any mattress, so every mattress feels like I am on the floor. Ever slept on the floor? You know that aching feeling you get, where you have to breathe in and out to "de-compress" your ribs? That is what I feel like, all the time. I may be alone in this, but I suspect most petite back sleepers need A LOT OF CUSHION. I hesitate to say we need "soft" beds, since my Sleep Number's version of "soft" is really just "less support" (ie air leaves the mattress). That does not help me much. No, what I NEED (to not wake up in pain all night) is basically a PILLOW under my BODY. Extreme pillow top mattresses are the only thing that helps me--and they always compress, after time. I have tried everything: the priciest version of Sleep Number pillow top/adjustable bed (only helpful when the pillowtop was fluffy, during the first few months, although the adjustable part is helpful); medical sheep skin (minor help); wool (fairly helpful until it flattens, after a few MONTHS); down (fairly helpful until it flattens, after a few WEEKS); memory foam (hot and terrible); latex (felt ok but still had pain). The best sleep I ever had was in Japan, in a Buddhist monastery, and that is b/c I took down-filled tatami "mattresses" (which are like fluffy down comforters, but thicker--similar to this pillow) and put them on top of each other. I have not been able to replicate that sleeping experience, UNTIL THIS PILLOW. This thing was much better than any other topper I have ever tried, even before they flatten. I cannot believe how quickly I fell asleep! I always blamed taking forever to fall asleep on a busy mind, but I now realize it had more to do with not being comfortable enough to lull me into slumber!Anyway, I started looking for a "body pillow," after reasoning that my neck pillow does not need to be replaced (from flattening) over time, so why don't they make something thicker and more "pillow" like for the body? At first, I was really annoyed that all I could find were U shaped pillows. However, then I began to realize that U shapes may keep their form better, since the body is heavier than the neck, and everything I have ever tried ends up with filling shoved towards the edges, since my body weighs it down/pushes it outward. If the filling is contained in a tighter/thinner envelope, with some "give" where the body is, the filling has less chance of getting shoved in an outwards direction. Hopefully, my theory holds up and this retains its shape.Anyway, I chose this, specific, pillow bc it indicates it is for "back and belly," whereas most of them seem to be just for side sleepers--for those people who want to hug a pillow, basically. This one seemed to be a better shape, too, and more like an actual "body" pillow you can put your body on top of (vs a pool noodle). I also liked that they claim not to use many chemicals. If they would make a certified organic or "green" version, I would be ecstatic! Another brand pillow on Amazon got in trouble with the FTC for false advertising about the "green quality" of their pillow, which makes me not trust them, so this company seemed a lot more trustworthy, by comparison. Anyway, I found the "back and belly" pillow to be the perfect cushioning amount, even better than every other fresh out of the box "toppers," and I suspect it will not be easy to flatten, like all of the others, but I will update this review, if it does...Until then, YAY, for this pillow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

All pregnant women should have this pillow! It has made sleeping so much more bearable. I caved and bought it at 3 months pregnant because I was beginning to toss and turn a lot at night, and I knew it would only get worse. Most of the online reviews on other websites I found recommended this brand. While the price did throw me off at first, after using it for a few months now (I am now 6 months pregnant), I would say that it's definitely an investment and I am happy that I bought it. I truly don't know how I would sleep without it. I like that the pillow wraps around your whole body, but switching positions is still fairly easy to do without having to completely rearrange the pillow. Also, while it is quite large/bulky, my husband still has room to sleep in our Queen size bed. My only complaint is that taking the pillowcase off to wash it is a bit of a pain (it's a two person job for sure). I feel like they should have made it into a zipper case. But otherwise I love this pillow!

My wife loves it and sleeps better now with it.
