Katie: Hey guys.
It's Katie from Mattress Clarity.
I'm really excited because I've got a pregnancy pillow to review today.
It's the Leachco Snoogle.
It's one of the most popular pregnancy pillows out there.
Right now, I'm a little over five months pregnant myself with baby number two.
I've used the Snoogle in the past, and I have a lot to tell you about, so let's get started.
[music]
Katie: I want to mention one quick thing, and that's if any questions come up during
this review, comment below, I'll do my best to get back to you as soon as I can.
Now, let's talk about the Snoogle.
I'm super excited about it.
I want to show you the whole thing.
As you can see, it's really unique shape.
It's basically a C-shape and it's considered a full body pillow.
It's really going to take the place of multiple pillows in the sense that you can curve it
between your knees for support.
It's going to reach all the way up and provide that head and neck support that a tradition
pillow would provide.
Now, I do want to mention when you look, Leachco has a bunch of different varieties of Snoogle's.
All of their filling is going to be the same.
It's all 100 percent polyester fibers.
The Snoogle is stuffed into a sausage-like casing if you will.
It's all pretty firm, but the outer cover is what's going to differ.
This is The Original.
It's in a removable cover.
It's a blend of polyester and cotton.
It's a sham-style which means right here, you can open up and pull out the inside from
here.
That's how you'll wash it.
Now, there are also ones that have zippers.
There's ones that don't have any removable covers.
Just think about what might be the best fit for you.
The dimension of this pillow, the dimensions are 60 inches long, 25 inches wide, and seven
inches in height.
That's about seven inches here which makes it a pretty firm pillow in that sense.
You cannot buy this from leachco.com.
They don't sell them off their website.
They sell them to different retailers.
You can get them at places like Nordstrom, Babies "R" Us, Target, Amazon.
I've got all the details on the full written review.
Just click the link in the description below, and there's a list of all the places you can
buy them.
That is important, because all of their return policies, and warranties, and all that stuff
are going to be a little bit different.
There isn't one set trial time.
There's not one set warranty for this pillow.
Look at the retailer that you're interested in, and look at the price, and maybe price
compare at that point, and you'll find the right one for you.
One of the great features about the Snoogle is that, not only can you use it while you're
pregnant, but you can use it after.
There are six basic positions you can put this pillow in, two for sleeping, and four
for sitting or reclining.
I want to go through and show you each one and how they name them.
There's full details on exactly what they do for you in terms of which areas they support.
All of that is on the full written review.
Just google Mattress Clarity Snoogle and they'll be the first thing that comes up.
and the reason why it's so popular.
Really, it does a good job of making you only need to use one pillow, instead of three or
four, when you sleep at night.
Especially, when you get to the point in your pregnancy where you're primarily sleeping
on your side.
The two sleep positions that this really works for, not only supports your knees to keep
your hips aligned, but it helps curve around your back or your bump, depending on where
your symptoms are or your preferences, and then curls all the way up.
You're really getting that full body experience which I like.
I also love that it comes in different varieties.
I tried The Original which is this polyester/cotton blend.
I would say maybe next time I would go with something along the lines of 100 percent cotton
or a jersey knit, just for a little bit more softness.
I love that you can remove the covers and wash them.
I also want to mention again that they are available at different retailers, so look
at coupons, price compare, expect to pay around $60 for this pillow, which when you think
about full body pillows, it's a pretty affordable price.
Things to think about with regards to this Snoogle, if you haven't already noticed, this
is a large pillow.
Think about who you are sleeping with and think about the size of your bed.
It's almost the size of half of another person.
If you've got a queen size bed and you sleep with someone else it may take up a lot of
room, make things a little bit tighter.
Again, your comfort is top priority at this point, so don't necessarily rule it out because
of that.
Another thing I want to mention is that, especially with this particular original Snoogle, the
sham-style removable cover, while easy to remove, it's actually a little bit tricky
to get back on, because you're trying to stuff the rest of this pillow back into this little
section.
If that's already sounding annoying to you, consider the options that have a full zip
cover as well.
Another thing is that you cannot throw the whole pillow in the washing machine.
You can only wash the cover.
If spills happen, your water breaks, something happens with this pillow, you're not going
to be able to wash the whole thing, and that's just worth thinking about as well.
Leachco calls the Snoogle "the mother of all pregnancy pillows."
I can understand why it's so popular and comes top of my want to talk about most comfortable
pillows during pregnancy.
It's really, really nice if you are primarily sleeping on your side.
You are uncomfortable during the day.
Maybe you have tailbone pain or heartburn.
You can elevate yourself.
You can sleep more comfortably.
It's all again, one pillow with removable cover, different fabrics options, and just
a lot of versatility in general.
Again, check out different retailers.
Look at return policies and trial periods for them.
Let me know if you have any questions.
If you're actually thinking that you might want to lean more towards a regular pillow,
we've got a lot of reviews there as well, so just google Mattress Clarity pillow reviews
to check those out.
Thanks.
