Editorial Reviews

From the Manufacturer
An ideal body pillow for the growing and changing shape of mom-to-be that won¿t take over the bed. This smaller-sized body pillow is ideal for side sleeping, the recommended sleep position for prenatal women. This uniquely shaped pillow supports under the belly and helps to keep the back aligned properly, reducing discomfort in the morning.

Customer Reviews

ok pregnancy body pillow - not so great
I got this about 3 years ago and used it through my last pregnancy. I started using it again for my current pregnancy and am recalling the frustrations I had with it. (who needs the added frustration from a pillow when you're pregnant and uncomfortable?!?) The shape of this pillow is nice, but the widest part is a little too wide & takes up a lot of space in bed - bulky. The slip cover is nice & washes well (gentle & cold).

I agree with others - the stuffing separates and clumps up. It's also too soft & squishy to give enough support. I expected it to be firmer, like the regular Boppy pillow, but it's no where near. It quickly flattened-out in the areas where I needed the most support, so I end up fluffing the stuffing every time I try to use it and then folding over the widest part to get more support.

I tried it for nursing, and my son just sank down into it - WAY too soft. I used it under the regular Boppy a few times when I needed him a bit higher than just the Boppy would support. I like it best as a back support while sitting up to nurse in bed.
I got the other, bigger Boppy pillow for pregnancy, but it was also way too soft, and took up entirely too much room.

I'd recommend to get this if you don't need much support and like a squishy & very soft pillow. For most people, I'd say to try something else. A regular, comparatively inexpensive bolster pillow combined with a small toss pillow under the belly has worked best for me!

A must have!!
I used this throughout my pregnancy and loved it. Early on it provided leg support and later belly support that is desperatly needed. I received this as a gift and am so glad I did as I don't think I would have bought one otherwise. At the end of my pregnancy I did buy a body pillow at Target but I used both...one on one side of my-one on the other! The great thing about this size is that it doesn't take up extra room like a 3rd person in the bed (like a body pillow does).

Even my husband would fight me for it some nights. He had a torn rotator cuff in his shoulder and said this pillow allowed him to sleep comfortably and ease his pain!!

Good, but poor quality
Used this pillow religiously between my 3rd and 6th months. It helped me get used to sleeping on my side. But the pillow's filler got very lumpy and malformed very quickly, I would have used it much longer if this were not the case. Would have expected something better quality from Boppy.
