Boppy vs. Boppy??? Suggestions?

BabyButler2010 · October 2009

Hi Ladies I hope you don't mind me popping in from 1st trimester, but I'm hoping you could help me to decide....

So, I'd like to get a pregnancy pillow now so that I can start getting used to sleeping with it and get the most bang for my buck...my best friend waited until she was in her 8th month to get one and she regretted not getting on earlier.

I'm trying to decide between the Boppy Cuddle Pillow and the Boppy Total Body Pillow. Has anyone else used either of these??? If so, which one and how did you like it? I'm open to other suggestions as well

Thanks a bunch!!

My opinion is you really do NOT need one of these. Im not even sure what it is, but you're only 9 weeks. Im almost 37 weeks and still have no use for a "special" pillow. Buy something for the baby instead.

Neither! I'd go with the Snoogle!

I've had the boppy total body pillow since about 9 weeks...it's flat now!

BabyButler2010 · October 2009

Thanks...so you haven't had any trouble sleeping on your side?? I really hope I'm the same way.

Ditto this. It seems like a waste.

I've found none of the body pillows to be worth it as they did not help me one bit.

I did buy the boppy wedge for under the belly support and that's the only one I would suggest. It also works wonders behind your back on long car rides.

IMO, they're worthless. Your sleep position will change a lot over the course of your pregnancy. Just gather all the pillows in the house and make a nest around yourself to support whatever is comfortable to you at that time.

Oh, you can give DH a pillow or 2 as well.

The total body pillow has been great for me... I still get uncomfortable from time to time but thats gonna happen on matter what. But don't get one until you have trouble getting comfortable.

I only use a body pillow and it is not obsolete after the pregnancy.

jdouglas84 · October 2009

I got a body pillow for $10 at Target, and it works fine.

jessiecow · October 2009

i love my snoogle, i was a stomach sleeper before, so it's really helped me to stay comfy at night.

Gossip Girl · October 2009

I second the Snoogle! I could not have made it this far without it!

mjs_pmk · October 2009

My friend loaned me her Boppy and I haven't used it. I tried to use it a couple of times and every time I end up throwing it off of the bed in middle of the night because it isn't comfortable. I just put extra pillows around me and I am much more comfortable. I am so glad I didn't spend any money on a special pillow.

lovlibelle · October 2009

i've never used a body pillow, i'm using almost every other pillow on the bed, one for my head, one for my back, one for my belly, and one in between my knees. and my husband only gets one. lol

Haha...he'd probably appreciate it

thanks!

I have a snoogle. I like it. My husband likes it. The cat likes it.

I bought a boppy total body pillow in my last pregnancy and it is still in good shape though this pregnancy. I can't say if it is better than anything else because this is the only one I have used.

MrsPatterson · October 2009

I think I'm one of the minority who did not like my pregnancy pillow. I bought a Snoogle and didn't like it. I found it was just easier for me to use regular pillows since they are easier to move around when you want to change positions. If you do decide to get a body pillow, I'd check out Craigslist or something first to see if you can get one used before shelling out the money for a new one.

This. Although my husband is ready to ban it from the bed!

Mereou12 · October 2009

Another vote for the Snoogle. Love it!

mrs. sage · October 2009

I also recommend a Snoogle. I started using mine towards the end of the 1st tri and haven't parted with it since.

I agree with this. I use regular pillows.

MrsSandro · October 2009

Never got either. I have a extra pillow for between my knees. But Honestly the other big monster pillows would take up most of the bed. I haven't had any trouble with sleep so I guess what I have is working.

Same for me..

jinnymb · October 2009

Get the snoogle it is amazing!!

timmylulu · October 2009

I wouldn't get one until you know you need it. ?I have no problem sleeping and don't use any pillows aside from the one that I have always used under my head. ?

Save your money and don't buy stuff before you need it. ?I bought a ton of maternity clothing b/c it was on sale and haven't worn most of it b/c I was put on bed rest at 30 wks. ??

I already had a regular body pillow and that has worked great. Its down filled so i just fluff it up each night and its brand new again! I am a back sleeper so around mid pregnancy it started getting uncomfortable and I had to start sleeping on my side which caused a lot of aches from my hips/back being all out of alignment so the body pillow is a life saver---but you probably dont need a special pregnancy one. However, Im also like princess and the pea and cant sleep unless the conditions are absolutely perfect, so dont go solely by me!
