Widgy bf pillow - any good?

Baby due any day, don't have time to order a pillow, local John Lewis has widgey bf pillows - are they worth buying? Had a blooming marvalous one last time which went lumpy when washed, not ideal - sort of got it back into shape but is very flat now.

I used a widgey and thought it was great. Covers are removable and can be washed- didn't try to wash the actual pillow though!!. My midwife thought it was good also.

I have to say that I found it uncomfortable to use as a bf pillow. It was too high for me (and I am tall!) Just couldnt get the position right with it. It is quite hard and I washed it and it stayed in shape.

BFC came and told me to try a normal pillow and I was fine feedind from then.

Was good as a back support when preg with dd2 though!

Had the widgey not very comfy - buy the NCT catalogue one shaped like a crescent - fantastic. I'm 5ft my SIL 5ft 7in we both loved it.
