Body pillow or torture device?

This is either the most comfortable or the most complicated pillow ever devised.

Did anyone use body pillows during pregnancy? I'm talking about the standard ones, not the scary restraint-pillow in the link above.

Lisa,

Wow, that is some pillow! I used a standard body pillow, from Kohls or Target or some dept store. It ran $10-$20. Honestly I couldn't sleep without it. When laying on my side the tugging sensation from the weight of my belly was uncomfortable to me and the pillow really helped.

The pillow in your link looks complicated, but probably isn't. It also looks very comfortable to me. Might be worth a try.

Hey Lisa!
I used so many pillows! Body pillows, regular ones, small decorative things and monster Euro style sizes! Anything to prop, lean, support and separate. Although, I never tried one, I personally thought that ONE expensive "noodle" pillow just couldn't do it. I think any prego is going to be uncomfortable, regardless of how many expensive contraptions that you surround yourself with. As you know, it doesn't last forever and the sleepless nights are all worth it (and only the beginning)! ;)

Thanks all! Yes, it's the tugging that is the worst. I feel like my belly is just going to fall off without some kind of support. I'll add a body pillow to my list!

I used the ten dollar wal mart body pillow. It was dark blue and it was my savior the last few months, especially since I had to get used to not sleeping on my stomach.
