By Carla Heat Regulating Cuddle Me Pregnancy Pillow (Spring/ Summer 2011)

I was having difficulty in sleeping from month 4. I was always sleeping on my belly therefore, i was struggling to sleep sideways. A lot of times I was waking up in the middle of the night sleeping on my belly and i was having a mini panic attack. With a growing belly and a ultra energetic baby during the nights i couldn't sleep at all. Now at month 6 (baby is even more energetic and even during the nights!), this pregnancy pillow helps me sleep on my side since it's quite difficult to change position with this huge pillow. My legs also feel more comfortable. The pillow retains its shape once i wake up i curl it up again so it doesn't lose it's curly shape. Overall, it's very good and would recommend 100%. Also, I am using it in Cyprus where the temperatures are always quite high and never felt too hot.Having said the above, this pillow doesn't provide belly support since it doesn't go beneath the belly but hugs it around. I like the feeling of having something 'stopping' my belly. Plus, the pillow cover is very different from the one shown in the photo. It's a simple white cover, not ribbed beige with logo as shown.Oh, I forgot to mention anything about the size. When it first arrived home, my husband was like 'Oh no, you are not bringing that huge thing in the bed'. Ladies, if you need it, get it! He got over it in one night, so will yours!

Don't even think twice about it- buy it!!!!! Have been hesitating about pregnancy pillows- thought is just a waste of money...and many people wrote bad reviews....than I decided I should try it - could be always returned...Started using pillow when I was around 5-6 months-than it was just an extra element of comfort...but now at the end of my pregnancy is a must have!!!!! Can not do without it!It supports your neck, head, back, legs! Even for tall people!!!! Read a review that a 5' 4" lady was saying the pillow is short! Well I am 5' 7" and I can say the pillow fits from my neck until my knees!!! - giving perfect support!Now that my bump is really big& heavy ( 39. weeks) the pillow can be put under my bump ( when lying on the side) supporting my bump and releasing my back.The only one problem with it is when you remove the cover to wash it for the first time...Was struggling a little bit...but the second and the following washes were really easy to remove and re-apply the cover. Tried to look for an extra cover- but the company does not sell them separately...but it dries up during the day so not a big problem.Absolutely love this pillow! I can use it in the bed, on the sofa when watching tv...and I'm sure it will be handy for breastfeeding as well!10star pregnancy product!

I ordered this pillow as a present for my sister. The pillow that arrived does not look like the picture it has no removable cover. We were a little disappointed at first so we phoned the company. A nice lady on the other end of the line explained that this is an old model of the pillow and that it does not have a removable cover. The pillow can be washed fully if needed, although this may not be as convenient as having the option of washing just the cover. I can't comment on the comfort or the quality of this product, but thought it may be worth leaving my comment for those of you that are looking for a pillow with a removable cover. By Carla also makes those so look for this specification in the description.

I was very excited when it arrived and the first couple of sleeps I really liked it, but I think it might have just been the novelty and 'wishful thinking'.... It didn't stop me rolling over onto my back whilst I was asleep (which is my preferred sleep position), also I started to notice that it was a bit too firm for my head resting (though I am quite fussy and like a soft pillow). And the inside seam was pretty annoying, I had to put a pillowcase over the top end, which still didn't completely stop it from rubbing my neck / collarbone area, as that bit tucks in pretty tight unless you were very short (I'm 5'5"). I think it might not be long enough if you are taller than that. I really wanted to love it, I didn't absolutely hate it, I just don't really think it did the job. In the end I used two duvets, one bunched up behind me, one bunched up to support my head / knee / bump, and that was great, more comfy, and stopped me rolling onto my back. And I tried it a bit for breastfeeding, but in the end preferred pillows for that.

I bought this when i was just over 3 months pregnant and have used it right up until now (39 weeks). It has made sleeping so much easier. You can take the cover off and wash it but I end up washing the pillow and cover.There was a period in the beginning where I needed to use an extra pillow for under the bump, and there was a couple of weeks where I had to do that again when the bump became too big, but otherwise it was so helpful to have this and i'm going to use it with nursing too.I would definetely recommend and if any of my friends get pregnant this will be the first thing i'd buy them.

I purchased this pillow at 19 weeks as I was suffering from horrendous hip pain. The pillow itself is very good quality and the removable cover is perfect for keeping it feeling fresh and clean.My issue is that I dislike using the pillow by itself. Due the shape, it is difficult to manipulate it to the preferred position rather than isn't its 'natural shape'. I wanted it to support my bump and hips, but it needs to go under your neck to support your head ... when I want to use my pillows so find it a bit awkward. I find I am fighting with it for a good 10 minutes before I become comfortable, hence only giving this pillow 3 stars.Don't get me wrong, once I am comfortable it offers assistance but it has not become the 'can't live without' pillow I hoped after using it consistently for over 4 weeks. Given it is £40, I feel that it is not necessarily excellent value for money.
