Review by Happy Homemaker for Leachco Snoogle Total Body Pillow

My mother sent me this product as a gift when I was 4 months pregnant, at a time when my hips and lower back were consistently stiff and achey after a night’s sleep. Here are my thoughts in conjunction with the other reviews: 1. Yes, it is big and takes up space, however I now use two pillows instead of seven to get comfortable, so it’s a lot less hassle to adjust when I roll over. I like to sleep with my belly propped on the long supportive side, but do find a need to keep a standard pillow on the side that has the opening, so if I turn over I have something to support my belly… otherwise my lower back is very achey by morning.
2. I like the curves at the top and bottom. When lying on my side, it supports head, neck, and knees. I also have awakened several times lying on my back, feeling VERY comfortably cradled (which is different for me, as I NEVER slept on my back pre-pregnancy).
3. I am a fuller figure mom, and the added pregnancy weight in my chest and stomach area by four months was causing significant problems with aches and acid reflux/heartburn pain. I find that this pillow can be manuevered to prop me up without shifting through the night, as my standard pillows did, which is imperative to lessen these discomforts.
4. After using it nightly for a few months, the filling has not lost any supportive qualities. Over all, I do find sleeping with it to be more pleasurable than standard pillows, and my aches and pains upon waking are quite minimal. Reading other reviews, I cannot help but wonder if my being fuller-figured makes it a better product for me. I have a fuller-figured friend whose experience with it has been the same as mine. I could understand if it seems more imposing and cumbersome to a smaller framed woman, though. I do regard it as a sleeping necessity at this time and am thankful to have received it as a present, however I took a “star off the rating” as I do not feel the materials are worthy of the price. It is no different from standard pillows in filling material or firmness. $$$ is quite an inflated price for a product whose only difference from other materials on the market is shape. If money is not an object, or nights are miserable and one is desperate, I could see investing the money. I personally will get the money’s worth because I received it early in my pregnancy. (I would feel bad that my mom spent so much on it if I used it only for month or two, but that’s just my opinion of value.) After pregnancy, I don’t think that I will keep it in the bed, as I would prefer to lie next to my husband rather than a pillow. Right now I am so large that I can’t get near my husband anyway without my belly getting in the way, so it’s not a major problem that we have a barrier between us.The other “star rating deduction” is about the “cover” that comes on it… It is made of a coarse fabric that causes mild discomfort when directly touching my skin. I rectified this problem by sewing my own cover (out of two yards of soft cotton fabric that added additional cost to the use of the product) that I traced from the cover that came with the pillow. This is not a pillow that one can just throw a regular pillow case on, so a custom one must be made or bought (if they even sell them). If you don’t have the time or ability to do this, then the “scratchy” fabric could definitely pose a discomfort to sensitive skin. With my homemade cover, there is little STRUCTURALLY that I can complain about.I DO use it daily and it offers me relief from a certain level of discomfort, however the bottom line is what price you put on comfort. For some, the comfort attained will not justify the price, for others it may be priceless to get even a small amount of relief. My personal rating is 3/5 stars as it comes. If it were less costly and came with a soft pillow cover, I would change my rating to a 5/5 star.

This pillow made me more comfortable at night and I could sleep easier. Around my fifth month, I had a hard time sleeping. I could not get comfortable and was awakened by frequent leg cramps. I put this pillow under my head, around my back and between my legs. It kept me on my left side during the night and the extra support between my legs lessened my leg cramps. The cover washed up very nicely and the pillow rolled up and fit right back into the plastic bag after my baby was born.
My only complaints are that it takes up so much room in the bed when the sheets are tucked in, the pillow case is difficult to get off and on when it needs to be washed and the pillow doesn’t fit me as well as it does the woman in the picture. I am 5’10″ and my head just fits on the top end and the bottom end goes between my thighs instead of my knees. But overall, I was very happy with this purchase.

I’m so glad I’m not the one who paid $50 for this pillow! God bless my friend for thinking of me, but I wish her money could have been better spent. She said her daughter loved it, and maybe the Snoogle works well for some women, but after three attempts at using it, I stuffed it in a plastic bag, and there it sits on my bedroom floor to this day. Here are the reasons why:
1. It’s way too firm. I could not get it to support my tummy from underneath at all; all I could do was try to sort of lean against it, but that didn’t offer any support. Same thing with the back “support” — the whole pillow is so firm, it was more of a leaning thing than a support thing.
2. Maybe this is more of the same firmness complaint, but I couldn’t get used to using the pillow part. It wasn’t soft enough to “mold” to my head and neck, and I ended up trying to push it far enough to the side that I could use a regular pillow instead.
3. The fabric is, as others have said, not very good quality and itches if your bare skin touches it. The farther I’ve gone in my pregnancy, the more sensitive my skin has gotten; I can’t even imagine trying to use it now. Assuming I could stand the pillow itself, I’d have to buy one of the covers (though I don’t have one, so I’m not sure of their quality, either) or make one myself.
4. The curve is too confining. I felt like I had to curl up all the time. I’m 5’6″ tall, so you can use that as a measurement tool if you like. I just can’t stand not being able to stretch out comfortably, and the Snoogle didn’t allow me to do it.
5. It’s H-U-G-E!!! God help you if you’re trying to share a less-than-kingsized bed with your spouse or significant other AND this gargantuan thing. There won’t be room for the three of you.
6. Don’t even try to roll this thing over with you. Talk about a wrestling match!
Maybe I can recycle the Snoogle into a sort of TV-watching pillow; it’s certainly firm enough for that. But it’s not something I’d recommend or buy for a friend or family member. The Boppy Wedge is an INFINITELY better buy for the money (see my review of that item), not to mention being a better product overall.

I purchased this pillow when I was 19 wks, currently I am 23 wks and I absolutely love SNOOGLE. I sleep all through the night now. My hip and lower back pain and knee/leg pain are gone. My shoulder used to hurt the worst, from trying to sleep on my left side. This pillow is not in a fixed position and it will move with you and your legs etc.. You can have the pillow in front of your stomach or have it behind your back for a different position. You can also lie your head down on the pillow itself, it is actually very comfortable, I’m very, very picky about my pillows and I thought that this may be an issue, but it is not.Yes, it is [$$] but I figured I would save money in the end by not buying the wedge that is [$], then a body pillow that is stiff and bulky for [$] and then stepping up to the Snoogle. And I am glad I made the right decision, because my sleep is definately worth [the money] and I see it no different than maternity clothes — I will be able to re-use this with more pregnancies to come…..Plus, I kept the plastic zipper storage bag that it came in and I put my Snoogle in there to take with me on my many travels.Can’t say enough, great product, highly recommend.Renee

I just got this yesterday and love it. I had a hard time finding an UNcomfortable position. I drifted right off to sleep no problem. I am a belly sleeper and at 6 months, that is not really an option. This pillow helped me get into as much of a belly postition as any prego can get. For leg support it could be a little thicker but I just fold it over at the end. Before I had this, I had 3-4 pillows positioned around me for comfort. Multiple pillows tend to move in your sleep so I would wake up a couple times a night to reposition them. I no longer have to deal with that.

I got this when I was just beginning to show and I loved it so much. I heard all the other pregnant women who couldn’t sleep because they couldn’t get comfortable; obviously they didn’t have this touch of heaven. It is big, but i slept in a different bed while i was pregnant(why torture my husband with my bizarre sleep patterns and continuous trips to the bathroom while i was pregnant?). So if you have a queen you and your hubby will have a tight fit in bed with this pillow, but it would be fine with a king. I cut the end out of pillow case so I could have an extra cover over the pillow for my face area(so I didn’t have to wash off my eye makeup if i wanted to catch a quick nap). The case that comes over the pillow is great, but you don’t want to be taking it off every week to wash, just cut the end out of a pillowcase you don’t like anymore and wash the big case less frequently.

A totally worthwhile investment!
About 12 weeks into my pregnancy, my hips were already aching so badly that I couldn’t sleep. I went online and searched for pregnancy pillows and this was the only one I found that mentioned alleviating hip and shoulder pain.
It works. The first night I used it, I slept all through the night with no pain whatsoever.
I agree with other reviewers – the cover is poorly designed and the seam at the U-curve really cut into my shoulder. But I have since inverted the pillow and sleep with my regular pillow slung across the “legs.” I like this better as it doesn’t prop my head up so high.
The other way I have positioned this pillow is to wrap the “legs” around to create little circular nest to put my belly into so I can nap on my stomach. I can’t say it’s too comfortable for long-term sleeping, but the novelty of resting in something other than a side-lying position is pure bliss! It also makes my back readily available for massages…
I have a queen sized bed and my husband hasn’t complained a bit about being crowded out. He snuggles right up to me in my “nest” and is still hogging most of the bed, as usual.
Overall, I would highly recommend this pillow – particularly to pregnant women suffering from hip and shoulder pain. Don’t worry about the negative comments about the poor design. The cover could definitely be a improved upon, but it’s not a deal-breaker. You just learn to compensate for it with different positions, etc. Hopefully the manufacturer will either fix the seam or offer different pillow covers, but even if they never do, you won’t want to be without this wonderful pillow.

At 6 monthes pregnant I was just starting to have alot of trouble sleeping. I bought this pillow and I love it! I sleep straight through the night now with out tossing and turning trying to get comfortable. I have alot less trouble with back pain throughout the day since using this product. Unlike some of the other pregnancy body pillows I’ve seen, this one supports both the total back and belly at the same time. It feels so cozy. It also helps keep me on my side because with out it I tend to end up on my back every night. My husband says I look so comfortable sleeping with this pillow that he wants to use the pillow to sleep after I have the baby. He’ll have to fight me for it! Sometimes I even use it to sit or lay comfortably on the couch or floor. You can use it in so many ways. Definetely worth the money! At first I was afraid when ordering the pillow that it would take up too much space in our queen size bed and bother my husband but I was so glad to find out it really doesn’t. Great product. I would recommend every pregnant woman who has back pain and trouble sleeping to buy this pillow. I am now 8 1/2 monthes and I am still using it. I have also washed it and it washes well.

I was put on strict bedrest in the hospital when I was 18 weeks pregnant due to complications. A twin-sized hospital bed is not very comfortable, especially when you’re stuck in bed 24/7. I had to lay on my left side the majority of the time, and I thought this pillow might help keep me positioned that way. So, I ordered this pillow and my husband brought it to the hospital for me, and it was truly a lifesaver! I spent just over 4 months literally living in the middle of this pillow. It helped ease my lower back pain that I got from lying down all the time, and it did a great job keeping my on my left side, even when I was sleeping. The pillow was also just so comfy to snuggle up against, especially since I couldn’t be home to snuggle up next to my husband. We found replacement covers for the pillow at [...] The pillow itself did wear out in some areas, but considering I was laying in/on it all the time, that was to be expected, considering the frequency and length of time I used it. Overall, I think this is a great pillow for any mom-to-be!

I love this pillow! I’m not sure why they chose to use the nursing image for the main picture, because it’s obviously too bulky to be used for nursing, but it’s perfect for sleeping!
I bought mine when I was in my first trimester, because I was having such a hard time sleeping yet was exhausted all the time. Prior to my pregnancy, I slept on a donut-type chiropractic pillow and at first was worried about this one being too flat for my head, but it’s been awesome.
The very best part about it is the symmetrical aspect: you don’t have to drag pillows with you when you turn over, so you’re not waking up completely each time you change position, which means a more restful night (well, except for the potty breaks, of course.)
I know all the books say you’re to sleep on your left side but I toss and turn a lot. Having support on both my front and back has been awesome. Plus, it’s great to prop up the top end against the headboard and read, etc. It’s very comfy!
In latter part of my pregnancy when heartburn became an issue, I slept with a flat pillow underneath the “U” part, to lift my head up slightly. It worked just fine and didn’t hurt my neck at all.
FIT: We have a king-sized bed but I’ve used it on a queen-sized too and there’s still enough room for me, the hubby and our dog in both beds. Cuddle time and sleep time just have to be separate is all but it’s worth it for my comfort and my husband agrees. It would be too tight a fit in a double or full sized bed for two people, though, I fear.
SHAPE: I love the shape, especially as I’ve gotten bigger, the small “wings” on the inside help to support my weighty belly.
LENGTH: I’m short (5’2″) but it would be nice if it were a little tiny bit longer. I have another little rice pillow that I sometimes stick down at the end and prop a foot on, if my ankles are swelling. But it’s not necessary.
MATERIAL: The cover is cotton and not scratchy but I with they’d made the case a tiny bit bigger, as it’s a tight fit and a hassle to change (though not impossible). Not a sticking point though.
I took the advice of a previous reviewer and cut open an old pillow case and looped it to the top portion so I don’t have to change the entire case each time I change the bedding. That works great. Thanks for the idea.
Overall, the benefits far outweigh any negative aspects, so I’m giving it five stars. This pillow has been a lifesaver at ALL stages of my pregnancy thus far! And it’s absolutely worth the price, hands-down.
