From the Manufacturer
The Total Body Pillow provides total body support in many different sleeping positions during pregnancy and takes up less room than other full-sized body pillows. A removable soft Pima cotton slipcover makes washing easy. The Total Body Pillow can be used under the head and between the legs while sleeping, or it can be used for a back support.
Customer Reviews
Very good inexpensive alternative to body pillow - keep a couple of regular pillows on hand too. 4
I bought this pillow around 18 weeks because I didn't like the inflexibility of body pillows (which always stay the same shape) or that reviewers complained that the stuffing in the big pillows shifts around inside.
I do like this wedge a lot and will not travel without it because it defeinately takes the weight off my back by pushing up my tummy. I reccomend having a couple of other pillows though, one behind the back (to keep you from rolling over on your back while you are asleep) one under your head and one or two between your legs. This ends up being alot of pillows but they are more flexible than the body pillows and a lot cheaper. I can also throw this in a suitcase or take it to the living room for a nap or watching television on the couch, which I couldn't do with a larger pregnancy pillow. It is also comfortable to sit on (as is the regular boppy pillow) if you are on the floor for some reason or sitting up in bed.
UPDATE - not so hot after about month 7 or 8. I think this was great in the beginning, but don't expect it to solve your pregnancy related discomfort for the entire pregnancy.
Wonderful!5
This cushion has to be the best deal out there in terms of pregnancy pillows - at least for women in their 3rd trimester. I paid a lot more mid-pregnancy for a big "Snoozer" body pillow that has been in storage for several months now. For several weeks before buying the Boppy, I was waking up repeatedly with a lot of lower back and hip pain even though I was using a regular pillow to support my belly. With Boppy, I'm now sleeping much better and with a lot less back pain. I just wish I had tried it earlier!
Excellent support for the tummy 5
A friend loaned this to me and I am so grateful. It's been wonderful to have the support under my belly so I feel less pull on my hips. My lower back hurts less now that I am using it. I highly recommend to anyone whose tummy has grown enough that she feels the pull on her hips when lying on her side.
