Review on Experience Ultimate Comfort During Pregnancy With INSEN Maternity Body Pillow - Purple Jersey H-Shaped Pillow With Cover by Michael Daniels

Revainrating 4 out of 5

This thing works. Proper texture, not "lumpy " at all.

I did a ton of research, and read through so many product reviews on a ton of similar pillows. This one got knocked a bit among other reviews for the Velcro, but here's the deal.I bought this for my wife, who has had a ridiculous pregnancy. First off, twins. Second off, non-stop "mourning" sickness (Ya I know, that's wrong, but its also right, ok?).So here's this poor, sick lady getting super big faster than she should, and what happens? Complications. You know the drill. Abnormal pregnancy issues, meaning bed rest. Oh, and that's all well and good, except she gets an abscess. So literally everything in the world hurts. Poor lady ended up in the hospital for 5 days due to this thing.It's kinda gross, but this darn pillow got run through the ringer. It has been exposed to literally every sort of body fluid there is. Each time I simply zipped off the cover, washed it, zipped it back on. Smells fine, zero stains.Impressed yet? You should be. Why only 4 stars then, you may ask. Well first off, 5 star ratings are typically boring, purchased ratings with BS to blow smoke up your butt. I ain't one of those fancy-schmancy idiots tryin' to get paid for this, and if you're reading this, neither are you. So if you're like me, you ignore the 5 star schmucks and check out the 2/3/4 star ratings (because 1 stars are the competition trying to undervalue their ratings).And yes, the Velcro is annoying and can be uncomfortable. Here's two things about that: first, put the spiky part facing down. This means ya gotta flip the attachable pillow if you change sides. Annoying, sure, but helps with the comfort. Second, throw down a soft blanket, sheet or even drape a pillow case over the strap that goes under ya.Perhaps not ideal, but here's the thing: that strap means the pillow "pulls" into your body. You won't get that with a "U" pillow. So plain and simple, if you want a little back support while sleeping on your side (because that's all you can do when you're pregnant), then get this sucker, throw a blanket on it, and feel just a bit more comfortable during the most uncomfortable time of your life.And folks, if your lady is pregnant, get her a darn pillow. These things are worth the expense. I'd recommend this one, but I hope you find one works for ya'll. Good luck, and take care of yourselves!

Pros
  • Provides relief from swelling and joint pain
Cons
  • The pillow may not be suitable for women with respiratory problems
