 Love It!!! September 6, 2008
J. Hanewich (Chesapeake, VA, USA)
I started having trouble sleeping through the night at 4 months into my pregnancy. Normally, I sleep on my stomach, so when I had to switch to side-sleeping instead it was REALLY uncomfortable! After many sleepless nights, knowing that I desperately needed my shut-eye, I searched the net for a solution. After reading all the reviews, I decided on this pillow. It arrived with supersaver shipping in 2 days!!! This body pillow is amazing. I have not slept without it since. We even took it on vacation and it made the hotel beds much more bearable. They NEVER give you enough pillows anyway. Now, when I wake up, I can shift to my other side and not have to shift multiple pillows into position to support my growing belly. The back support is a huge plus as well. I highly reccomend this pillow!!!
 DON'T BUY THIS PILLOW! September 5, 2008
M. Pascoe (Pennsylvania)
About five months into my pregnancy, I bought the Boppy Total Body Pillow. It worked great, but did flatten quickly and became very clumpy. So...now in my eighth month...I was having more trouble sleeping than before with lots of hip pain. So...I read reviews for this pillow thinking it would not lose its shape so quickly and would better support my back to aid in hip pain. Well...BIG MISTAKE! The pillow takes up way too much room in a queen size bed with my husband and I. It is stuffed too full so that it hurts your neck when you try to use it. Also, the length does not work for me (I'm 5'7"). No matter what I tried to do, I just couldn't get it in the right position. I ended up giving it to my non-pregnant, shorter sister. Hopefully someone will get something out of it. WASTE OF MONEY! I ended up just buying another Boppy Total Body Pillow, and that has been working well again. Hope this helps someone not make the same mistake.
This pillow is wonderful! September 4, 2008
Michele Palacio (san jose, ca United States)
I was tired of investing in more pregnancy gadgets that I probably wouldnt use again so put off buying a pillow up until my 7th month. I couldnt take another night tossing and turning using regular pillow not to mention waking up with sore hips and back pain. I had no idea what pillow to buy and saw the Leachco Back N Belly. I read the great reviews and guess what they were right!!! I am getting the best sleep in my life and waking up refreshed and relaxed. I recommend this pillow to ALL pregnant women. You will be so happy you made this purchase. I just wish I would of bought it 3 months ago. Happy sleeping!
 needs some improvement September 4, 2008

Once I received this pillow I slept on it for three nights straight and then have been using my regular pillows ever since. There are some pros to the pillow. It really is comfortable to lay on and does support your entire body well. It really is great on your neck as your entire body is at the same level as your head, minimizing any neck discomfort. It also does minimize hip, butt, and back pain. When I used the pillow I didn't toss and turn as often.
There are also some cons with this pillow. It could be a bit longer. If you are tall and want to use it between your legs you will only be able to use it to keep your knees from rubbing together. Forget the lower half of your legs. It is also really big. I have a queen bed and my husband cannot sleep in bed with me. Everytime I move, the pillow seems to spread out further. My biggest complaint that caused me not to sleep with the pillow anymore is that there really is nowhere comfortable to place your arms. Whatever side I layed on, that arm would fall asleep or throb in pain. You can place your arm under the pillow and stretch it out on the bed, but you can only deal with the pain for so long. Also, like the picture shows above, you can put it around your waist in a sitting position and read or breastfeed. This is very uncomfortable and I can't get the ends to stay up to support my head. Also, I think it was meant for very thin women, because it doesn't fit well around my waist and I am only a little bit overweight.
To summarize, if you don't mind sleeping alone and you don't mind not having lower leg support or some arm pain, then this is the pillow for you.
Comfortable but could be firmer September 2, 2008
T. Urban (Boston, MA United States)
The pillow is comfortable and better than stacking a variety of pillows but I wished it held its shape better. There isn't enough back support when lying on your side so half of the pillow seems useless.
