Ode to a Pillow

Oh Leachco Snoogle Loop Contoured Fit Body Pillow, when we first met I was skeptical. As a dyed-in-the-wool back sleeper, I just could believe that a pillow would make sleeping on my side more comfortable than sleeping on my back. I’ve met other body pillows and it just didn’t seem likely. But I was willing to give you a try, as my belly is growing and slumber eluded my regular sleeping positions.

Alas, dear pillow, if I had only known! I’m cushioned and cradled and I sleep better than (dare I say it) ever before in my life. I know, I know, it’s a bold statement but I wake up feeling great. Inspired. Transcendent. My body doesn’t ache and as I stretch out to begin my day I feel that much more hopeful. It’s true; a pillow has given me hope.

I like to call you my nest. Chris calls you my life boat. Either way, it’s all true. While my husbands arms are by-far the number 1 most comfortable place in the world, you dear pillow are an exceptional 2nd place. Superior only in that you do not complain when I am fidgety.

I am so enamored dear Snoogle that I am tempted to bring into the house your cousin, the Back ‘N Belly Contoured Body Pillow. Not that I would abandon you, but only give you a night off now and again.

Thank you Snoogle. Thank you Leacho*. Never a pillow so wonderful did I ever meet.

*I was not paid, just inspired.

    I had the back n belly pillow during my pregnancy and LOVED it. Best pregnancy item I bought, hands down. (it’s safely tucked away until we have any future need of it!)

    Karen, Really? So, I should totally get it right? :) I think my husband wants one. Say, any other tips for things I might need. You are doing and awesome job with Madeline by the way.

    I have the U shaped one. It’s kinda like this loopy one, but a wee bit different. Good for back sleepers–especially if you start off in Captain Starfish position. (One leg over each end of the U, hanging to the outside.) I love it. I sleep on my side a lot too. There’s something about being surrounded by pillow–it’s all womby or something.

    Oh! Duh!!! It’s the one you linked second! That’s the one I have. Yes, I love it. I call it the World Peace Pillow.

    “The World Peace Pillow” I love it.

    Oooooooh… I have the feeling that ordering a pillow is in my future. I already use two pillows for my lifeboat. But that thing looks awesome!

    One question — what do you do with it when you make the bed?
