Bump Nest Pillow Review

**I was NOT compensated for this review nor asked to write it, I purchased the pillow for full price from the website. I found it hard to find information about pregnancy pillows and wanted to provided a helpful unbiased review.

About 5 weeks ago I gave in decided I needed a pregnancy/body pillow (I'm 29 weeks pregnant FYI). After shopping around and looking at pillows at various retailers and online sites I decided to buy a Bump Nest pregnancy pillow. Before pregnancy I was a back or stomach sleeper, obviously neither is an option anymore, and that is where the Bump Nest pillow has been a life saver. I needed something that would support my back as well as my belly and keep me on my side. I can't tell how many times before I purchased my pillow I woke up in a panic realizing I was on my back and when I did manage to stay on my side I was waking up with terrible hip and lower back pain. It was difficult at first getting use to sleeping with a body pillow, however now I would be lost without it. It has enabled me to sleep in one position longer and wake up less throughout the night. In all I am a big fan of the Bump Nest and so is my Boston Terrier Midas.


However, with that said there are always pros and cons to every product so below are my likes and dislikes about the Bump Nest Pillow.

Likes/Pros:
-The WHOLE pillow is machine washable: both the case which was suprisingly easy to take on and off and the pillow its self.
-I don't need to flip or turn the pillow when I change sleeping sides throughout the night as it works both ways.
-The wrap around design works great for supporting the back, I'm serious when I say this think has saved my life.
-Shipping was free and very fast: this is important when you are pregnant and you realize you need a body pillow ASAP or you may never sleep again.
-The stuffing in the pillow can be distributed as you need to make some areas fuller then others. 
-The pillow cases come in pretty colors!

Dislikes/Cons:
-Takes up a lot of space, however that is to be expected with all body pillows.
-Holds in heat:so you have to adjust the amount of bedding you need.
-I wish it was a bit longer of each side, especially the shorter of the sides: I'm only 5'3'' so this may be a concern for taller ladies.
-The section of the pillow where you rest your head goes flat (from use obviously) so I have to re-fluff every night or put a regular pillow under it.

So there you have it - Overall I'm a big fan of the Bump Nest Pillow. While I have not tried other pregnancy pillows I am glad I went with the Bump Nest and I think it is worth the money I spent on it.
