What is the best pregnancy pillow?

I'm SO going to need a preganancy pillow sooner rather than later.  It's the summer, so we basically have our big duvet in a pile between me and DH for me to try and sleep on.  But it doesn't always work, and soon it'll be cold and we'll want the duvet to keep us warm.  I have RLS, and can no longer take medication to treat it, not to mention I snore too.  So, even DH wants me to get a pillow.

I'm hesitant to spend all the money on a pillow, but I feel its essential for us.  So, I wanted to know which is the best?  The snoogle? the Boppy?

TIA!

  • https://www.amazon.com/Sealy-Maternity-Nursing-Pillow-Cappuccino/dp/B00499DRZI/ref=sr_1_cc_1?s=aps&ie=UTF8&qid=1344611158&sr=1-1-catcorr&keywords=sealy+maternity

    This is what I have and I love it. Its not as popular as some of the others, but is great and can be used way after maternity is over. My hubby is always stealing it to lounge on it for his head when watching tv in bed

  • I was looking at that one too...

    And a follow-up questions... where is the best place to buy?  I assume Amazon.com.  I am Canadian, but I have family in the US who can help me buy this.

  • I loved my snoogle but haven't used any others so I can't compare. I actually still use it but I think DH is going to mandate it going away soon since it takes up so much room. I bought mine from amazon.

  • I have a snoogle and its the best! I love it so much and I still sleep with it now PP. I use it at night when I feed LO still to. 

    I tried the boppy and found it to be WAY too thick and huge.

  • I just got a snoogle, and I'm really happy with it. I noticed a difference in quality of sleep and in pain after the first night.

  • I also used the snoogle and am happy with it. Be warned the snoogle is large. If your bed is not at least a queen size I would not recommend it.

  • I just bought a body pillow at Target and it has worked fine. I think ''pregnancy" pillows seem like a gimmick. But I am cheap. My pillow and a case cost me $14.

  • I used the boopy S- shaped pillow.   I liked it, but it was really big.  It took up 1/2 my king sized bed. 
  • Love my Snoogle!!!!

  • i am getting the Snoogle from a friend of mine who is done with it.. looking forward to sleeping in comfort!!
  • 100%, hands down, the leachco "back n belly" pillow.  I got mine from Amazon for $60.  If you have a king sized bed, it's the best thing in the world.  It takes up half the bed, so a queen bed might be snug with one. 

    The same company makes snoogles, but this thing is awesome because I don't have to flip the pillow when I roll over, plus I can straddle the pillow in front (saves my back) and wedge the back section under my back to keep me on my side.  It has kept my arms from going numb.  :)  It's my favorite thing I've ever bought.

    This.  I used it with a queen bed and it was fine.  The best pillow ever.

    I've also tried the Boppy pregnancy pillow and that thing sucked.  I hated it.
