Good support for back and stomach
4th August 2010
I have slept with a small contoured leg pillow between my knees for a long time to help with back support. But when I hit about 20 weeks into my pregnancy it just wasn’t enough and I was waking up with soreness along both sides of the muscles in my spine. I tried small pillows under my stomach but it just didn’t help that much. I ordered the Bobby pillow because it could go between the legs and help support the stomach at the same time and did not seem like it would take up too much space in bed. For the most part Boppy Cuddle Pillow works really well and is pretty easy to adjust when I turn over to the other side at night. I usually do wake up but quickly reposition it and am able to get back to sleep. The bigger part seemed kind of fluffy at first but it makes it easy to tuck a little of the pillow under the stomach and seems to give it just the right amount of support for helping keep the spine in a more neutral and comfortable position. If I am traveling I make sure to take it with me.I love this pillow!! I tried the snoogle pillow and it was very big (took up half the bed), caused me to be WAYYYYYY too hot, AND you can’t use your own pillow with it. I bought it not knowing you can’t use your own pillow with it and when i slept with it the first night, ended up kicking it out of my bed halfway through the night and returning to my old faithful boppy cuddle pillow. I wanted to buy something bigger because i heard a lot of people raving about it, but i ended up returning the big one and coming right on back to my favorite, faithful, and comfy boppy cuddle pillow. It is a perfect size, the only thing is, when your roll over from left to right or vice cersa, it takes all the covers from your poor hubby. That is why I also bought the boppy wedge to keep on one side for when i flip and I have a pillow on each side without taking up half the bed.
