Review: My Brest Friend 3-in-1 Body Pillow for Pregnancy

I received a complimentary pregnancy pillow from My Brest Friend in exchange for the post below. All opinions expressed are my own.

As a parent to draining little children, there is nothing like that feeling you get when you hit the pillow. It’s pure bliss.

But then you get pregnant {again}, and all bets are off, and sleep feels like you are already parenting a newborn between waking up uncomfortable to needing to go to the bathroom several times a night.

For some ridiculous reason, I have never bought a pregnancy pillow during any of my pregnancies, and each time I regret that I never just invested in one from the start, knowing I wanted to have a few kiddos. {P.S. If you are newly pregnant, go buy one NOW!}

Finally, this time I got smart and decided to just see if a company may be interested in a review in exchange for blogging about my experience. I was beyond thrilled when My Brest Friend actually said yes.

I was so excited to hit the sheets the day My Brest Friend 3-in-1 body pillow arrived. In fact, I even tried to sneak in a nap while the hubby helped bathe the kids.

About The Product:

The My Brest Friend 3-in-1 Body Pillow makes sleeping more comfortable by conforming to your body throughout the night. The versatile shape allows you to adjust the support you need as your body changes by simply switching which side you use to align your hips. Streamlined design for maximum support and minimal use of bed space. Head, belly and knees are specifically supported for a comfortable, ideal sleep position. Custom belly wedge for maximum support while you sleep, extra soft cotton cover, removable cover for easy cleaning, extra soft filling and streamline design takes up less space than traditional body pillows.

My Thoughts:

While I do love this pillow, it has a few flaws. I am a belly sleeper, so I was especially excited about the belly wedge since I seem to need some support there. I found that part essentially useless, and got in the way more than anything. With that said, I move a TON in my sleep, so maybe that’s why I didn’t find I needed that part much.

However, for the rest of the pillow, I did like that it was a bit smaller than a typical body pillow, especially given that we have a queen size bed, and I loved how long it was {I am 5’6″ and thought it was perfect for my size, which I think is pretty average for American women}.

I feel like a monkey clinging to a tree every night I sleep with it! It does need a fair amount of adjustment as I wake-up to go to the bathroom throughout the night, but not anymore than any other pillow. I also love laying on my left side to read books at night. It puts me in the most comfortable position possible and sure beats the pain I feel laying on my back.

Overall, I would definitely recommend this product. A nighttime of restful sleep is worth gold when it comes to pregnancies, though I can see myself using this beyond pregnancy too!
