Candice923's Full Review: Boppy Pregnancy Comfort Cuddle Pillow
My pregnancy wasn't too easy, to say the least. It wasn't because of the pregnancy itself - it was from other problems that had arisen. During my second month of pregnancy, the arch of my right foot collapsed, causing a variety of problems with my back and legs - especially my sciatic nerve. Sleeping was next to impossible.
I tried everything - throw pillows, rolled towels, blankets, regular pillows, everything - to help support my body while I slept. I even slept on the couch. I just couldn't get comfortable, which meant that I couldn't get a lot of sleep. Talk about frustrating.
One day, while in Babies R Us with my husband, we noticed the Boppy Pregnancy Comfort Cuddle Pillow. This pillow, which is sort of shaped like a deformed C (or, as I like to say, a sperm), has a smaller end to go between your knees and a puffier top to hug to your chest or tuck under your growing belly.
The Boppy Pregnancy Cuddle Pillow measures about two and a half feet long. It is about six inches at its most narrow spot, and a little more than a foot at its widest spot. While the pillow is quite thick when you first get it, it does flatten a bit after a lot of use. (Solution - Fluff the pillow before every use!)
Unfortunately, there are no additional slipcovers to purchase separately for this item, the way that other Boppy products have slipcovers sold separately. The light blue-green slipcover that it comes with has a 360 thread count and a long zipper on the outside of the pillow for easy cleaning. Both the pillow and the slipcover can be machine washed.
The Boppy Pregnancy Comfort Cuddle Pillow "helps to keep the back aligned properly, reducing discomfort in the morning." I am proof of this! I went to bed with sciatic pain, hoping that the pillow would help me get a full-night's sleep. The first time I used it, I slept for 9 hours. I began using the pillow at 9 weeks, and I couldn't sleep during my pregnancy without it.
I highly recommend the Boppy Pregnancy Comfort Cuddle Pillow to any pregnant woman. At around $34, it is absolutely worth the price to get a good night's sleep.
