Baby Products Reviews of Boppy Pregnancy Wedge with Cotton Slipcover
Customer Review: Simple is sometimes best
Summary: 5 Stars
The wedge was the perfect amount of support for my bulging belly. I am an averaged sized person (5'7" and started pregnancy at 160) and gained 30 lb during pregnancy. It was the perfect size to take the pressure off of my back while not taking up room in the bed. Yes, you need other regular pillows to organize your comfort, namely something between your legs, one behind your back if you tend to roll over and your pillows under your head. Some people complained that the wedge flattens out, however I found that the small amount that it flattened at the narrow edge was actually beneficial to contouring to my body. I think you'd have to be pretty large for this to be an issue. As you can tell from my stats, I'm no shrinking violet and this product held up to my weight.Customer Review: Just when I thought nothing would work....
Summary: 4 Stars
I love this pillow. I tried using a regular pillow and a body pillow. The pregnancy pillows seem way too big to me to share with my husband and my dog. Plus I'm not sure I want to sleep with something that wraps around me like alien arms. Anywho... both the regular pillow and the body pillow were too much for my belly. I couldn't get comfortable because I couldn't get the pillows underneath me enough. When I saw this wedge shaped thing, I thought that might be the solution. I admit I was very skeptical, but I thought it was worth the inexpensive cost. The wedge gives my stomach the support I need. I still sleep with a second pillow between my legs and the combo of the two helps me from tossing and turning. For a good reference, I'm 29 weeks pregnant.Customer Review: Better for back support
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought this despite hearing that it is too hard, and now I wish I would have listened. I am in the last half of my 2nd trimester, so maybe I'll use it more later, but for now it works best for back support when I'm sitting on the couch. When I have used it for sleeping I wake up with a sore abdomen, because the wedge is hard. I also have a snoogle pillow, and find that it works better alone, instead combined with the wedge. I hope the manufacturer will improve upon this wedge by making it with a material more like memory foam, which would make it softer, but still supportive. I am only 5'2", with a very short abdomen, so maybe the wedge made me sore because it went under my ribs, which were the most tender when I woke up.Customer Review: What a relief!
Summary: 5 Stars
While pregnant with my second child, I decided to give in, and buy a pregnancy wedge, since I was so uncomfortable when trying to sleep. I have to say, I wish I had bought it alot sooner! This pillow is the perfect size - not too big, and not too small. It's easy to manuever under bed covers, and fits at every stage of your pregnancy, since the wedge shape allows you to push it to fit under your belly, as your belly grows.
I would recommed this for every pregnant woman! It's a small price to pay, for the relief it gives of the heavy feeling of gravitational pull on your tummy, while laying on your side as you're trying to sleep.
The removable cover is also great, so you can wash it when you wash your sheets!
Customer Review: Great Product for 3rd Trimester
Summary: 5 Stars
The Boppy Wedge is a lifesaver in the 3rd trimester when your tummy feels really heavy and its hard to sleep. It really helped reduce the pain below my waist from sleeping on my side. Just prop it under your tummy and it holds your tummy up. I've noticed that the baby doesn't wake up as much or try to adjust her positioning in my tummy when I switch sides anymore.
It also works well for the back. When I watch TV in bed I like to prop several pillows behind me for support the wedge works real well to support my lower back while laying on my back in bed.
This is a really good product and the price is right too. I've been thinking about buying another one to use at work to use as a back cushion.
