I am typically a back or stomach sleeper so when I was told I should sleep on my side while pregnant it was a really difficult adjustment. I tried pillows and wedges but I would just push them out of the way in the middle of the night. The SOS pillow gave me enough flexibility to feel comfortable but helped keep me in a safe position. It did make me a little stiff at times but I pushed through it while it was early in my pregnancy and the pillow trained me so now in the later part of my pregnancy I can comfortably sleep on my side. The last few months of my pregnancy would be have been a lot harder and uncomfortable if I had not gotten this pillow from the start!

I am a back sleeper so sleeping on my side all night (especially with the number of hours I clock these days...) is a bit frustrating. This pillow makes it way easier to do without the claustrophobia of one of those 360 degree body pillows. I like to pop a heating pad against the back portion for my hips / lower back because side sleeping, again, isn't comfortable for me. Alas, this product is well worth it!

I have mixed feelings about this pillow. My pregnant chiropractor recommended it to me, as I'm a few weeks behind her in my own pregnancy. I used to be strictly a side sleeper before cardiothoracic surgery, after which I learned to sleep on my back to help keep my shoulders from rolling in/my ribcage from going inward more than it already was (I had pectus excavatum corrected with nuss bars). When I first tried this pillow out of the box I was ready to fall asleep then and there, but since then I've struggled to get the pillow at the right place on my back and the best width for my expanding belly. Sometimes it feels too loose and I wake up lying on my back in it, other times it feels too tight and I have trouble sleeping. I've woken up with a sore left hip, so if I wake up in the middle of the night and have enough energy to, I switch sides with the pillow so I'm on my right (albiet, not recommended). But it's a bit of a hassle to drag out of under the blankets to re-adjust. Some nights I return to sleeping with a regular pillow propped beneath my back/shoulders so I can incline side-sleep. My chiropractor herself said it helped her for 8 weeks of pregnancy before she was just uncomfortable in general. I'm 25 weeks now and it still works okay, but I'm not loving at as much as I'd've hoped, especially for this price. Belly Bandit has great customer service and their post-partum wear sounds very tempting but I can't justify the prices for it.

I was already trying to achieve the same positioning with pillows in my bed - but not really succeeding - when I saw this product online. I love how it is not a gigantic bulky pillow overtaking my whole queen size bed. It gives perfect support that I needed in my third trimester. I just wish I had found it sooner... like 3 pregnancies ago. Only downsides are that it took one night to get used to it and adjust it to an optimal setting for me. That first night I was not sure I would like it... but once I figured out the right positioning for me, I loved this! My hip gets a bit sore from being in one position all night, but it did when I was trying to position myself with pillows too. And the back and belly relief make this product so worth it

I love this pillow such a lifesaver! Super comfortable and super compact and not bulky at all!
