From the Manufacturer
Leachco All Nighter - Total Body Pillow - "If I could sleep all night. . . just once." Sound familiar? If you have ever experienced back pain, neck stiffness, leg swelling, indigestion, carpal tunnel syndrome, fibromyalgia or insominia, you'll know how important a full night's sleep can be to your health and well-being. These symptoms occur more often in pregnancy but can appear at anytime. The All Nighter was designed by a registered nurse primarily to meet the needs of expectant and new moms, but considering the rave reviews we have received about this phenomenal pillow, we just say it's for everyone! The All Nighter pillow's "candy cane" design conforms to the shape of your entire body from head to toe for a restful night's sleep. Three specially designed contoured pillow shapes work together as one to give the support, elevation and comfort in all the areas you need it. The head section is extra wide and long for versatile sleeping styles or for those who love to "hug their pillow." The longer cylindrical shaped section is made to support your shoulders, back and buttocks. Its length makes it perfect for tucking between your knees to relieve hip and back strain keeping your spine properly aligned and the cool air flowing. The shorter, bell-shaped section is ideal for abdominal or back support in the later stages of pregnancy. You will be amazed at all of the different positions you can attain with this universal body pillow.

Customer Reviews

Improved sleep and comfort for this pregnant gal
I was a little hesitant about purchasing this product regarding a few of the issues some reviews mentioned (price, quality, seam, size), but now that I have used it I am incredibly glad I bought it. I am 6 months pregnant, 5'7'' and have a fairly slender build and sleep on a queen size bed with my husband.

Here are the things I love about this pillow:

1. My overall sleep time has increased and deep sleep has improved. I think this is because the pillow hugs all around my body and I can roll over without adjusting 4 pillows. Now I don't even have to move the pillow, it is already where it needs to be.

2. Before pregnancy I always slept on my back and the switch to side sleeping has been incredibly difficult. This pillow has helped me feel comfortable on my side as well as offer kind of an in-between back and side position. Also, it has kept me from rolling on my back naturally while I sleep, which has been most helpful.

3. There are many positions to use this pillow as well as many positions you can assume with each pillow position. It also supports a growing belly very nicely.

4. I personally find the pillow stuffing to be pleasantly soft yet supportive at the same time.

5. This pillow is great for mid afternoon rests and short breaks.

6. Though it is a bit bulky it takes up only my half of the bed (queensize). My husband has not been annoyed or cramped because of it. In fact he often snuggles up against it in the night.

Cons: (minor ones at that)
1. A little pricey. But what price would you pay for a better, less miserable night of sleep.

2. Slightly rough pillowcase.

3. Less snuggle time through the night with hubby, but we can still be pretty close.

This pillow has fit my needs very well and has been worth the money.

**As an update. June 2008. This pillow has really helped me post partum. Nursing has been easier, it is very comforting to snuggle in when I'm feeling a little blue, and my body aches have been reduced thanks to it's many support positions. I personally feel that I would not have been very comfortable without this pillow especially the last 2 months of pregnancy.

I have one additional complaint about it. the pillow case became quite nubby and even more rough in some spots (mostly the area that my feet and legs occupied).

THIS IS AWFUL
Too thick, to short, and uncomfortable. I had a different body pillow before that I loved, but didn't want to spend $100 on a new one, so I got the cheapy based on these recommendations, I used it once and I HATE IT.
1. OVER filled so you are propped up in weird places (your head is high, and legs are high, while your center is drooping down).
2. Cover does not go back on once it is washed it is HORRIBLE. It is cut so there are larger and smaller parts on the cover, my husband and I both could not get this thing back on.
3. the curve at the neck base is sharp so you either have to have your arm over the top so you can rest your head on it or you have to scoot way down so it doesn't cut into your shoulders.
4. Base is too thick to support your belly
5. Fluffing or flattening the pillow doesn't work, it is stuffed to the max
5. I am 5'3 and it comes to the top of my knees on one side and if it is cutting into my shoulder in the top it will come to my lower back.
6. To keep your whole hip/let supported you need to have your legs really bent as shown the pictures.
7. It doesn't fold up or lay neatly anywhere
8. Not breathable

SPEND THE EXTRA $40 AND BUY THE COMFORT U WITH FIBER FILL, IT BREATHS, IS ADJUSTABLE WITH THE THICKNESS IN AREAS, AND IS LONG ENOUGHT TO COVER YOUR WHOLE BODY. FOLDS IN 2 SO THAT YOU CAN PLACE IT UNDER YOUR PILLOWS WITH YOU MAKE YOUR BED..... I WISH I WOULD HAVE STUCK WITH THAT...

Too large and hurts shoulders
I am currently six months pregnant and having trouble getting comfortable at night. After reading the rave reviews, I purchased this pillow thinking it would be so great for me. I was disappointed when I tried it. Here's why:

1. Getting the cover on and off to wash is a real pain.

2. The curved part digs into my shoulder and really hurts. I've tried to stretch the cover and shove another pillow there to help but the seam just really cuts into me.

3. It is absolutely HUGE and heavy. Since I cannot really use it as intended because of the shoulder problem, I flipped it upside down so I can use it as a regular body pillow. This is OK but the end of the pillow hangs off the bed and is heavy when I try to flip over with it. I toss and turn a lot so this creates a problem.

4. This pillow makes me so hot I wake up drenched in sweat.

I would recommend something smaller and more manageable. I don't feel that this has helped me sleep better at all. I will keep trying different positions with it to see if I can make it work since I did pay a lot for it. I can't really return it since we've already used it and washed the cover. :-(
