highly recommended

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 perfect 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. A lavish 360-thread count cotton slipcover makes for easy washing.

Still using it 2+ years later!

I got this Boppy pillow half way through my pregnancy and it made all the difference in the world. I had such bad hip and groin pain from 7 months on (along with the given back pain) and this worked wonderfully! Everyone knows you don't get solid sleep the last trimester, so this made the times I did sleep much more comfortable. In fact, our daughter is 2 1/2 now and I still use it every night! I even take it on trips because I just can't sleep without it. The stuffing is very loose which has it's good and bad points, but as long as I fluff it before crawling into bed each night, it's fine. I tried bigger, body-sized pillows and all they did was frustrate me. I could never figure out how to shift or roll-over in bed while easily moving it with me. Also, I'm a plus-sized woman, so between me, my sprawled-out husband and a huge pillow, there's no room in a queen-sized bed. This boppy is just the right size and you can easily move around with it. I recommended it to other friends and they loved it too!

Great Nursing Pillow

This is marketed as a pregnancy pillow. I tried to use it to support my growing belly, but, it was too uncomfortable. When my baby was born it worked great as a nursing pillow. The curve of the pillow is perfect and big enough to fit any size person, unlike the normal boppy pillows. And, this pillow is thicker at the bigger end so it has the perfect slope to put the babies head at the bigger end, and babies feet at the smaller end, which makes it so easy to nurse a baby. The pillow lifts the baby up to the perfect height to reach the breast. This pillow is large enough that the baby will not roll off the pillow while feeding, and can be used until the baby is about 2 years old.

If you need something really supportive, look elsewhere

This is an okay maternity support pillow, but I'm sure you could find something much better. Several other reviewers have mentioned that the stuffing tends to separate over time and bunch up, and this is all true and really annoying. Initially, it was really nice and provided good support between my legs and the larger, "belly" support section is nice and squishy and is comfortable under/against my belly. The pillow seems a little wider than necessary - it takes up a LOT of room in our full size bed, and turning with it under the covers is an event which wakes me up every time (I suspect this is true of all maternity pillows, though).

After using it for 2-3 months, and despite nightly fluffing and shaking, the stuffing has become separated and a little flat in spots, especially in the area that I place between my legs - so flat and unsupportive, in fact, that I've started sleeping with a second, regular pillow on top of the Boppy pillow to try to keep my hips level. Coordinating two pillows to turn from side to side is much worse than just the one.

Overall, this is an okay pillow - it's not great and if you really need support, I'd recommend looking elsewhere. If you just want something squishy to provide very light support, this might work for you.

Disappointed

I was really looking forward to this pillow. I have enjoyed the other Boppy products I have purchased and was pleased with the slipcover and shape of the pillow. My disappointment was over the fact that after sleeping with this pillow for about two weeks the filling was so scrunched up and beaten down that the pillow was not very useful. Expected more out of the Boppy product.

Not quite what I was expecting...

I was really looking forward to this pillow, as I am currently about 5 1/2 months along, and have been having a lot of discomfort trying to sleep. I wanted a pillow that would go between my knees, and also hold my belly up a bit, so that my back didn't hurt so much.

It did help with these two problems, but the pillow has some issues of its own. As other reviewers have said, there seems to be an excess of stuffing at the top of the pillow. It takes up a lot of space in the bed, and makes turning over cumbersome when you have anything more than a sheet covering you (as a heavy blanket holds it down). So while I am more comfortable while asleep, I wake up every time I want to turn to my other side. It seems like the pillow would be a lot better if the top part were more narrow.
