I need Snoogle advice!

So, DH bought me one for Christmas and I used it for the first time last night. I think it was perhaps the most uncomfortable sleep I've ever had! I feel like I'm "doing" it wrong!!

The diagrams on the package get me even more confused...what's up with the "Swirl Around?!?"

Anyhow, do you sleep with the long part to your back or do you "hug" that part? Does this thing take some getting used to or am I a moron??

I don't even want to use it again, but I feel bad for DH having spent all that money, so any advice is really appreciated!!

Re: I need Snoogle advice!

I sleep on my left side with the small "hook" at top for my head.

Then the long part goes behind my back and the larger "hook" goes between my knees.

So if you were looking at me from above, it would look like a capital letter "C".

Sometimes in the middle of the night I will sleep on my right side, so I just take the bottom piece out from between my knees and flip over and "hug" it for the night.

It works best when DH is to the right, so the Snoogle isn't in between us.

Hope that made sense!

Re: I need Snoogle advice!

It is a little weird at first, but after about two weeks I can ONLY sleep with it.

I use it both ways. I prefer having it in front of me. I use one end as a pillow and then the other end between my legs.

When I use it behind me, I still put one end between my legs and the top end as a pillow.

I also use it as a boppy kind of , and wwrap it around my back b.c I find myself wakign up on my back all the time and I have bad carpal tunnel, sleepign semi sitting is the easiest way for that.

Hope that helps.

It could just be you dont like it.....

Re: I need Snoogle advice!

I sleep with it so if you're looking from above it's a backwards "c". I like to lie hugging the long part because it allows me to still kind of lay on my stomach.

If I switch to my right side, I do the same... hugging the long part.

I found this most comfortable for me.

Re: I need Snoogle advice!

Can't help, I hated mine! I gave it to the cats after about a week!

Re: I need Snoogle advice!

I snuggle with mine... I never keep it to my back... I thought that is how it was supposed to be.. OOPS!!!

Re: I need Snoogle advice!

I sleep with it either behind or in front of me....with the smaller hook at my head and the bigger hook at my knees.
My only problem with it is that my husband thinks it's super comfortable...so he keeps snuggling up against it and takes my space!

Re: I need Snoogle advice!

i want one!!

Re: I need Snoogle advice!

I usually kept the long part at my back, but sometimes I would flip and have it the other way.

I only really found it comfortable at the end when I was huge.

Re: I need Snoogle advice!

I use it both ways. I sometimes sleep with the long part towards my back and the hook part between my legs and I use the swirl as my pillow Love it.

Then I also sleep with the long part in front of me, still with the hook between my legs and the swirl part as a pillow still

I never sleep in one position. So I may start off in one position and by morning, I am in another position. But since getting it for Christmas, I havent slept one day without it.

I leave before DH in the morning for work and when i am dressed and giving DH a kiss good bye in the morning while he is still sleeping, he is all wrapped up in the snoogle as well. he said its so comfy. LOL! I have to take a pic of him and post it on here.

Re: I need Snoogle advice!

I start out with it behind me, and my head using the curly part as a pillow (the bottom goes between my thighs)....but it usually ends up on the floor by the time I wake up in the morning!

Re: I need Snoogle advice!

I love mine! I sleep with it behind me usually but when I am lying on my back i put it under my knees which makes it much more comfortable for my back. I got it originally bc my right arm kept going completely numb and hurting during the night--as soon as i started using it my arm was better! Oh and my dh loves to snuggle with the snoogle as well!
