So, let me start by saying that I am a research junkie. I don’t buy anything online anymore without doing some kind of research.I am also a back sleeper. My fam actually picks on me because they say I look like I am laying in a coffin when I sleep. (Always flat on my back, ankles crossed, with arms crossed on my chest.) I got to the point in my pregnancy where I could no longer sleep on my back, and when I tried to lay on my side, I woke up in a matter of an hour with horrible hip pains, and the most painful Charlie horses in my calves. So the only sleep I got was sleeping upright in a sling chair, which made my legs and ankles swell, and I would never stay asleep more then a couple of hours. My nurse mentioned trying to get a pregnancy pillow, so of course my research began. I literally stayed up all night and read reviews and blogs for 10 hours before finally settling on this one. (Which was half the price of some of the others I was thinking of getting.) I wanted something that held it’s form, that kept me from rolling on my back during sleep, but that prevented all the hip pains and Charlie horses.I have had this pillow for a little over a month now and it’s a GOD SENT!!!! My hubby can still sleep next to me and has room, (We have a queen sized bed) but I have all the support I need in all the right areas. The first night I slept with it, I slept for 6 hours straight. Didn’t have to use the bathroom every 2 hours, no painful hips, and no crazy Charlie horses. It literally keeps me in the most perfect, optimal position, in all the right areas, and is like a giant hug all night long. My daughter actually is asking for one for Christmas this year now. Lol (And she is not pregnant but does get back pains sometimes from sleeping.) And I truthfully plan on keeping this well after my pregnancy is done with. (I am 32 weeks now.) It’s just so versatile. I can use it to sit up in bed and watch tv, prop myself up so I can sleep on my back without laying flat, or sleep on my side which is extremely comfortable, and I never thought I would ever say that. I am 5’5 and it is the most perfect length and size for me. And the cover was easy to put on and take off for cleaning. This is the most amazing product I have ever used, and I only wish I would have found it a lot sooner.
