OK those sleeping pillows....

The full body one to help you stay on your side...who uses them and do you like them?

I can not get used to the darn thing! Those that use it, do you stay on your left side all night!

Re: OK those sleeping pillows....

I tried but it doesn't work for me I just can't get comfy, the dogs on the other hand love it... I try to stay on my left side, but I usually end up on my back at some point.. I am a belly sleeper so it was so hard to get used too...

I have one, and I have gotten used to it. I don't always stay on my left side (since I've always constantly moved around in the night pre-pg), so when I shift sides, I always bring the pillow with me.

I do the same thing and I love my pillow! My DH calls it my "subsitute man" and he feels like there is another Person in bed with us. Chat Icon

I can't use the body one. Too awkward. I use the little wedge by boppy. I love it.

I dont use the full sized one but I use the pregnancy boppy - which is different than the nursing boppy - and it's a God send. I LOVE it and can't sleep on my side without it.

Is it the full body one? wouldn't that be a pain to roll with you when you turn?


I always end up laying on my arm or hand and putting it to sleepChat Icon

I'm telling you, Moe, get the wedge. It was like 15 bucks. Best 15 I ever spent. You can put it between your legs or under your belly.

So if your on your left side do ya just stick the wedge on your back so you don't roll? And do you stay on your left side pretty much all night with that?

UGH! Sleeping shouldn't be this complicatedChat Icon

Honestly, I hate sleeping on my back, so I never roll backwards, I actually keep it near my belly and put my knee up on it, so this way I don't roll onto my belly, plus you can lean on it a little and FEEL like you are on your belly, even though you're only angled down. So if I were you, I'd just wedge it under my back so I don't roll onto my back. We have the opposite problems, so I'd imagine placing it on opposite sides would help. Wow, that was a confusing answer! Sorry!

Anytime, sista! Check out Target's website, they have all sorts of contraptions to keep you on your side. They're a little scary if you ask me!Chat Icon

This is the pillow I have and I couldn't sleep without it. If you lean back on it, it almost feels like you are sleeping on your back. Sometimes I sleep in it the opposite way and I think it's comfortable like that too. It is difficult to switch from your left to right side during the night, but once you are settled I think it is so comfy.

I sleep with it both ways. It's good support under your belly if you sleep with it the opposite way. I also like the snoogle because even though it looks big, I think it takes up a lot less room in the bed than a regular body pillow.

I had the snoogle for my first pregnancy and ended up throwing it out! I HATED it. Plus it took up so much room in our bed, and it was close to impossible to flip form left to right side with that thing!

I got wise after that and now I just use an extra pillow or two for between my knees. I have a small, airline size pillow and it does wonders!
