Snuggle Bambino

While looking for a pregnancy pillow, I was searching for one that wouldn't take up a ton of space on our bed like the popular snoogle - which I tried and didn't love because it made my neck sore and was not ergonomic for my cervical and thoracic alignment.

Being late in pregnancy, I was looking for support for my bump and also a crutch to help me sleep on my side, or at least if I ended up rolling on my back, that I was still at an angle. I wanted to be sure the baby wasn't laying on my descending aorta and decreasing my blood supply - thereby, decreasing blood supply going to baby resulting in low oxygen. 

This pillow does support my belly adequately during sleep and it does also help keep me on my side; however, I felt that it could have been softer. It is a bit too firm and the smaller size that makes it travel friendly made it uncomfortable when I found myself turning on my back during the night since it did wake me up. There are two sides of support, one being softer and one being firmer, but when used on my back, they felt similar to me.

I also tried the wedge between my legs and that was actually great support because it was firm. The pillow I was using was a bit too soft and flat so it did not help align my spine and posture while side lying in bed.

The wedge is very travel friendly and light. It's also very unobtrusive to use in bed. It measures approximately 13" x 15" x 5" and weighs 1.5 lbs. It is also very convenient that the cover comes off for a wash. There wedge comes with a carrying case but it's small and doesn't actually fit the pillow and I wouldn't store the wedge cover in there and leave the memory foam uncovered so I felt that was an unnecessary accessory to include.

Overall I found it was best to use as knee support and belly support. I also like to use it behind my back when I am sitting on the couch but to keep it behind me to support me from laying on my back was unsuccessful.
