Is this worth the $?

I am thinking of buying a snoogle. That second picture is VERY convincing, lol. However, I saw a $10 body pillow at Target today. Is the extra expense worth it? Also...is it as big as it looks and does the size make it difficult while in bed with DH? Thanks!

I don't have one but a friend of mine does. She used it mainly for naps. It is really big so I wouldn't get one unless you had a king size bed.

Totally worth it IMO. I thought I would hate how big it is, but honestly, just sleeping comfortably is worth putting up with the bulk of it. The size isn't as bad as I thought it would be either. We have a queen size bed and we're not too terribly crowded.

I had a regular body pillow when I was pregnant with DD and it didn't compare.

I have a regular body pillow and it does the job for the most part (I eventually push it away sometime in the middle of the night) But that Snoogle looks way better. With a normal body pillow, it doesn't have the "hooks" for total support. That's probably why I push mine away because I have to use my regular pillow, then snuggle with the body pillow.

I would splurge if I had the money! Especially since DS gave me some serious sciatic nerve pain.

I think it is worth the money!  Loved mine while pregnant with DS.

I was just thinking of buying one of these!! One of my best friends had one for her pregnancies and she said it made all the difference in the world because she could contort it for whatever she wanted it for: napping, sleeping, nursing, etc. She swore by it...I think it could be worth it!!

YES!!! I had the Boppy Pregnancy Pillow (similar to the snoogle) w/ DD and it helped me sleep so much easier! We had a queen sized bed, at the time, so it did take up a lot of room but then again...I took up a lot of room, lol! I'll probably get mine out and wash it in a few weeks...we have a king sized bed now so that should make this pregnancy a little easier on our sleeping arrangements!

I bought a $10 body pillow and I'm happy with it.  I'm sure if I bought an expensive one I'd be happier with it, but for now, the Target pillow will do.

What size bed do you have?  I had so many friends that were trying to pawn their snoogle off on me, but I went for the $10 body pillow and it worked great.  A lot of my friends swore by their snoogle, but I found it to be unnecessary.

I have a regular body pillow and it is working great

I never used one for my first pregnancy, but people swear by them.

I bought one and used it when pregnant with LO.  I honestly did not think it was worth the money I payed for it.  It was also massive and with me, Snoogle and DH in our queen size bed it was crowded.  I ended up throwing it out when LO was about 6 months old.  Next time around I will either buy a regular body pillow or a smaller maternity support pillow like the Boppy one.

It is worth it. As you get bigger sleeping gets more difficult.

My SIL had it and hated it.  It was too bulky and she couldn't get comfortable with it.  She ended up just buying a body pillow. 

I used a body pillow with DS and loved it.  I liked having the pillow for your head seperate because I am anal about the angle of the pillow under my head. This is the wrong angle for me so it would have been a total waste of money for me.

I couldn't have gotten through my last pregnancy without it. Loved it and will use it this time, too!

melaniedel

Yes! Definitely worth it! I tried to use a $10 body pillow from cosco, and was not the same! My H uses that now.

EJPint

That pillow looks amazing.  It will be mine.

I just used a body pillow and that is what I am planning again. I am just too dang cheap. lol.

Just dragged the snoogle out this past weekend.  Loved the snoogle during the last pregnancy and even though I'm not really big yet, it's so comfy to sleep with now.  Totally worth it, make sure you get a cover so you can just toss that in laundry.

imnoemilydi+ckinson

Wow thanks ladies! I just ordered it. Yay!
