A regular body pillow worked best for me.

I really hated my snoogle. It was so fluffy that it gave me hip pain to put my leg over it. I never could figure out how to use it.

I really liked the big U shape one! I think it's leachco or something?

I was glued to my snoogle during my first pregnancy but for some reason it was uncomfortable the second time around - I just placed a regular pillow between my legs and behind my back and slept on my left side.

My preferred method is using two bamboo shredded memory foam body pillows, one on either side of me. I’ve tried several different kinds of pregnancy pillows and none are as comfortable or work as well for me as this.

Also keep in mind you may not need one. I almost bought one like 5 times, and I kept being like, "eh, I don't need one yet, and they take up a lot of room, so I'll wait..." and I was never really uncomfortable, so I never bought one. Glad I saved my money.

FWIW, most of the women I know who were not uncomfortable during pregnancy are very tall, like me (5'10")

I like my C shaped Snoogle. We have a queen, so nothing bigger would work in our bed. It's the only thing that helps my sciatica, it's like I get to hit a reset button at night. I'm 5'10, and in hindsight I might have gotten the tall version, but it's worked fine.

I actually don't like mine either. I didn't have one for my first two, but pregnant with my 3rd I got one because everyone LOVED them.

It's so bulky and if you toss and turn, there is no where to go. I, too, prefer a pillow between my knees.

I'm also 5'10.

5'1 here- I wasn't uncomfortable either. Big babies too.

I didn't like my snoogle but wanted a wedge. I'm a stomach sleeper and that did get harder. But I slept on my stomach until I gave birth.

Chec out the Hiccapop pregnancy wedge pillow on Amazon. This saved me when I was pregnant with twins. I needed the extra support under my belly in order to sleep comfortably on my side.

I have the snoogle and its really not helping. But I also really hate sleeping on my side and nothing seems to help.

I had a U shaped one for my first pregnancy and loved it so much I think my husband was kind of jealous of it

I'm looking forward to getting a new one soon.

That thing took up SO much space in our bed. I gave up after a week of wrestling with it and just used a regular pillow between my legs.

I really hated the snoogle. It was too difficult to roll over and change sides. A wedge under my bump really helped. I think I’ll just try a knee pillow between my legs for my second pregnancy.
