Snoogle in the Hzouse...

After a few uncomfortable nights of sleeping, partially from being uncomfortable and partially because I'm so paranoid by all these books, "Don't sleep on your back!" "Sleep only on your left side!" I would barely wake up and immediately assess my sleeping situation and panic. Anyway, I was browsing Amazon the other day and thought I would check out the snoogle....$44 and free shipping later...I was excited. Last night was my first night snoogling it up, and...I...loved...it. Words can't express my joy of sleeping with this thing. Pretty much those pictures might as well have been me last night, (except I don't wear satin pajamas...hello, hot. I would sweat to death.) Now those of you who know Josh, he's a snuggler...and he was not excited about the snoogle...until this morning when I got up for work. Got out of the shower and guess who was snoogling and snoring.

When I was reading reviews for the snoogle this one was hilarious. I just had to add it, because it made me laugh so hard. It obviously didn't deter me from buying it.

When I first bought Snoogle, I loved it, as it was perfectly supportive as promised. Then my toddler barfed in our bed, and some of it unfortunately splashed on Snoogle. Snoogle's cover had to be washed. Snoogle's cover is very snug, without a hint of stretch. Snoogle's ONE cover opening is in a very awkward location. I was so frustrated with trying to put Snoogle's cover back on after washing that I left it off and left the pillow bare. Big mistake. Snoogle's supportive secret is in its cover because when left without, it's basically a flat blob of cheap batting that stores body heat like an extra-lumpy camel and then spits it back at you during the night. Why do people devise ways to frustrate pregnant women? Finally, today, I put Snoogle's cover back on, and after a half-hour of twisting, writhing, cursing and taking two breaks ... I got the stupid cover back on but didn't even have a post-coital glow as an added benefit.

Been there done that with the snoogle myself. If Tara's happy...I'm happy.

I too have been tempted by the siren call of the Snoogle. So you say it works?

Best part? That you found Josh "snoogling and snoring". HAHA

I don't have a Snoogle, maybe mine's a knockoff, but it is shaped like a candy cane and it too is filled with soft comfortable awesomeness. And I like when you said, "Now those of you who know Josh, he's a snuggler" because I nodded to myself and said yes he is.

OK, yes, I have seen these things too. I am ready for a good nights sleep! The massage lady showed me how to sleep comfortably with 3 pillows, but that is so awkward in bed! Man, I will have to look at these for sure!

Hmmmm.....Snoogle....

I just bear it with the pillows. I have a body pillow and that sucks. At this point, nothing is comfortable. Loved the lady's post - classic.
