Boppy Total Body Pillow with Slipcover, Natural

At 4 months pregnant, I was looking for a body pillow that would offer some support to keep my pelvic bones and back aligned while I was sleeping on my side. I had been sleeping with a standard pillow between my legs, but I was hoping to find something a bit bigger that could give me the pelvic support I needed now, and the belly support that I would be needing in a month or so. After pulling the Boppy out of the package, I realized that this would not do the trick. It was not firm at all (about the firmness of a medium weight comforter.) The picture makes it look like it offers quite a bit of support, but when I laid my head on it, my head sunk all the way down to the bed, and when I put the lower half between my knees, my knees were completely touching through the pillow. Some reviews mentioned that putting it in the dryer will puff it up, but keep in mind that there is only so much stuffing in the pillow - it might get fluffier, but it won't get any more firm.

I returned mine immediately and bought an extra-firm king size pillow from Target for $12. It's working great for me so far.

It is currently 5:32 pm on Tuesday October 7, 2008 and my wife and I(more her than me) are happy to say we love the Boppy Total Body Pillow. She knew she was gonna get the it but not sure when. She is 17 weeks along and our little football player is very active right now, lol. My wife is sound asleep enjoying a much needed nap after a long day at work. As a suggestion, put the pillow in the dryer for a few minutes and it will fluff up and have a warm feel that is comforting to a mother to be. The best part is that it was delivered only a few hours ago and has already helped mommy out.

I don't even know what to say. This pillow is so bad! It's too flat to align hips. Awkward under my head, probably too flat there. There is no stuffing where the pillow lies at my stomach so it is useless to support my belly. Quite honestly, I'm not sure what Boppy is thinking on this one.

I ended up with a snoogle and LOVE it!

I was having such a hard time sleeping before my sister-in-law bought me this pillow. I'd seen it online before but never thought about getting it because of the steep price. Although I still think it is expensive, I've been sleeping so much better now. I used to wake up often during the night to re-adjust and get comfly, but with this pillow, I sleep right through.

I did extensive research and chose this pillow a couple months ago. I'm 8 months pregnant and just could not get comfortable at night. This pillow has made such a difference. It's soft, and can be molded into many different positions. After frequent use it does get flatter and the stuffing gets a little bunchy, but I prefer flatter pillows. Don't get this if you want something super thick and fluffy. But DO get it if you want something pliable but supportive. I highly recommend it!!!
