Snoogle Goodness

LadyBear10

So I love my snoogle... A lot. It binges on Netflix with me, it has helped me with some pilates positions, and of course I now can sleep through the night. I came across this picture the other night and there are so many more snoogle positions to try! I thought maybe you ladies would like it too. I know it probably came with the snoogle, but I bought mine at Burlington and it definitely was not in there.

Yes that came with mine! I have to admit though I don't love my snoogle as much as I hoped I would. At this point it makes it harder for me to sleep. I don't know if maybe I should of got the smaller version but I got the original and its huge!

I love my snoogle! Wondering how I'll convince husband that it needs to be a permanent pillow in our bed haha!

I WANT A DAMN SNOOGLE. 

Seriously though, my DH was going to buy me one for Christmas - he had found it about it all by himself, but I stopped him and told him to wait until I actually needed it. Well, I've had trouble getting comfortable for weeks now, and every time I complain he goes "Babe, we've gotta get you a SNOOGLE!" But... One has yet to appear. Oh, and I know I can just order it myself but I've decided to be stubborn and wait until he actually gets the hint to get me one as a gift.

Snoogle and I had a war last night. I was trying to "swirl around" so I could sit up in bed and read, it sproinged away from me, and I fell straight out of bed. My husband came at a run (he heard "squeeeeeak thump" ) Just a heads up, you may want a spotter (or assistance) with some of the more advanced positions.

But yes, most nights snoogle is my best friend.

@hummingbird125 My DH got it for Valentines day. Maybe he is waiting for mother's day?

We also got this, and it is wonderful recently.

@Whitneymichellle12 I already told my hubby it prob won't be leaving the bed ever. He's ok with it as long as I share it when he wants to snuggle

@Allisun85 where did you find the wedge?

Hi! I'm a long time lurker... (I am usually active on the naming board though). I loved my snoogle for the first few months and slept like a rock. Now for the past week, I just can't seem to get any sleep. The hip I'm lying on burns with the passion of 1000 suns. So I flip over and sleep for an hour and then that side burns and I have to keep flipping. The pillow certainly is not helping with hip I have to lie on....anyone have suggestions?! I'm desperate!

The issue with my snoogle is I can't put my head on it- it's much higher and harder than I'm used to. And I still wake up on my back when I use it.

@jenna8984  I had some issues with lots of pain too at first. I then figured out a better side sleeping position for me-- I talked about it here: https://forums.thebump.com/discussion/comment/88644218/#Comment_88644218

If I get up to pee in the middle of the night, I come back to DH using it! I'm convienced he loves it just as much as I do!

I would use mine every night but we have a queen sized bed and it takes up a lot of space. When my husband first saw it he said "Well goodbye intimacy" hahahaha! I have started using it during weekend naps, which have become almost a necessity at this point.

I used mine for about a week until I gave up on it...the part where my head goes has way too much padding and hurts my neck..I wake up sore from it everytime. Anyone have a solution for this? Thought about taking some fluff out of the head part. I really want to love it:( the rest of it is comfy and I love the concept of it

jenna8984

@ramoseecology Thank you, that looks more like what I need to try!! I've also been sitting indian style for about 20 minutes before bed to gently stretch the hips and I feel like that's helping too!

@wylies I can't use the head part either. I don't know if you are tall or short but I'm only 5'3 so this has been working for me....I put the head part curving OVER the top of my pillow, touching the headboard, and then my quality pillow is a foot away from the headboard with that sandwiched in between. It still fits my legs just fine and snuggling the belly and arm part just fine. Took me a few weeks to figure this out lol. But might not work if you are like 6 feet tall, it might make the leg part too short for you. Give it a shot!

Wylies

@jenna8984 Ahh I'll have to try that tonight! Thanks.I'm 5'8 lol but I'm hoping it may still work....the past few nights I've been turning it upside down (where the leg part is up by my head) because I feel like it's less padded. Feels a lot better but def going to give your idea a shot!

I had basically pounded the stuffing out of the head part into the surrounding areas, but now I don't use it anymore. I realized I have been getting better sleep at a very slight incline. I use the head part to start that incline under my side now.

Thank you for sharing this!! My DH got me a snoogle for Christmas and I've only done the "Belly Basic" position and honestly, the seam kind of bothers my neck/shoulder when I lay that way, so it has been laying on the floor of my closet untouched for a while. I'll have to pull it out and try some of these other positions! Wee!
