For any of the expecting mothers that are looking for a comfortable pillow to support them and their belly while sleeping I recommend the Leachco Snoogle Total Body Pillow.
The unique curved shape gives the entire body support rather than just the back or belly, which means expectant moms get a good night’s rest.
Most expectant mothers find themselves using four or five different pillows at night just to get the support that they need to sleep well, with the Leachco Snoogle Total Body Pillow they can get rid of most of those extra pillows.
The unique design of this pillow provides expectant mothers with a good night’s sleep because the shape follows the natural shape of the body.
What this means is that sleeping with the pillow the entire body is lined up. The top of the pillow is designed to support the head and neck, while the longer body of the pillow along with the curve at the end allows moms to tuck the pillow between their legs to help ease back pain, as well as staying cool at night.
Not only does the pillow provide amazing support, it can also help provide relief for other problems during pregnancy, such as acid reflux.
The Leachco Snoogle Total Body Pillow can help relieve acid reflux because it allows the upper half of the body to rest in a slightly inclined position rather than flat, which can also help moms to breathe better at night.
Another reason that I recommend this pillow is because it can be used long after the pregnancy has ended.
Once the baby is born, moms can use the pillow while nursing because its unique shape provides the support that baby needs. It also makes a great backrest when sitting in bed and watching television.

Pros:
Curves on top and bottom. The curves at both the top and bottom provide this body pillow with its unique shape. The curves at both ends are what provide the support that pregnant women need while sleeping.
For side sleepers the pillow provides great support for the head, neck, and knees. For back sleepers the pillow surrounds the body to form a type of cradle.
No matter what position expectant moms sleep in the curves at both ends allow you to wake up feeling refreshed.
Long lasting. Not all body pillows or even regular pillows will last for a long period of time. This pillow is one of the exceptions to that rule.
After several months of use, all of the women that I have recommended this pillow to state that it is like sleeping with a new pillow every night. The pillow even after several months is still firm and provides plenty of support.
Removable cover. Not all pregnancy pillows come with a removable cover; some of them require you to pay extra for a cover.
This one comes with a cover that is easy to take off and machine washable. Being able to wash the cover of the pillow as needed is great, especially when using it for supporting baby while nursing.
Can be used while sleeping in different ways. Many pregnancy pillows that I have seen are designed to be used one way only when sleeping, meaning they only fit one way on the body.
The Snoogle can be used to support the belly or the back. Moms who need the extra support for their belly can place the long section of the pillow in front of their body so the belly can rest atop the pillow.
For those that are looking for extra back support the long section of pillow can be placed along the back for that extra support.
No matter which way the long section is placed the head and legs get the support required from the top and bottom curves.
Cons:
Cover is itchy. While the removable cover is nice for being able to wash the pillow the material used on it could be better. I have found the material to be rather rough, which pregnant women often have sensitive skin.
What I recommend for an easy fix is to make your own pillowcase out of a softer material or purchase a special pillowcase from softer material that is made from softer fabric.
Not helpful for people who toss and turn. Most pregnant women find it hard to sleep at night, so they end up tossing and turning half the night.
Even with a pregnancy pillow, some women still have a hard time getting comfortable or they just like to change positions.
This pillow is rather awkward to turn over with and doesn’t provide the support on both sides like other pillows do.
To solve this problem what I recommend is placing a regular pillow on the other side of you, so you can easily turn over and get the support you need.
The Leachco Snoogle Total Body Pillow is a great pregnancy pillow and one that I highly recommend it and Certified Midwife said it is one of the maternity pillow in the market.
The pillow is designed to provide an expectant mom’s body with the support she needs, while also doing a bit extra. The sooner you get the pillow the better you will be able to sleep at night.
