Dream genii - worth it?

[PrincessJenga]

I'm finding it harder and harder to get comfy at night (35 weeks pg) and considering investing in a dream genii. They seem REALLY expensive though. Is it worth it or is my current 'pillow fort' equally effective? Anyone used one? Love it? Hate it?

This is an old thread, but if you've landed here while on the hunt for pregnancy pillow recommendations, our guide to the best pregnancy pillows has been recently updated. It includes a wide range of options and has been compiled based on the advice of Mumsnetters and maternity healthcare experts. We hope it's helpful!

Thank you. I will keep trying. I think it's because I'm a bit bigger than most and find the bit you lie on not quite wide enough!

It does take a LOT of getting used to and finding your own way of sleeping with it. I, personally can't bear it under the duvet - I just get really annoyed and frustrated then I want to move it and it gets all tangled. But it's getting warm enough to sleep on top of the duvet and then I love it. Also, perfect for daytime naps which i've only started needing from 28 weeks. I don't find turning over an issue as you don't actually have to flip the pillow over, you just pull the long bit back through your legs.

See if you can get a second hand one - as long as it's been used with a cover.

I used mine lots in my first pregnancy and used it to breastfeed in the early days. I've kept it and will be using it with this pregnancy too so definately worth the money in my opinion.
