Before I get started with this review I want to give you a little big of medical history about myself. Over the past 15 years I’ve had 9 surgeries which include a right hip replacement, a left knee replacement, a left wrist replacement and recents a left hip replacement. Orthopedic surgeries tend to be the most painful surgeries that I’ve ever experienced. Not only are they painful to go through, the recovery period is hard!
** Complimentary product received for review.
Two months ago I underwent my 4th total joint replacement surgery on my left hip. The surgery itself was complicated and took twice as long as a typical replacement. My surgeon was prepared and got me through it. With that said, the recovery has been long and difficult with several complications along the way. To this day…I’m still in quite a bit of pain.
A week after my surgery I was given the Hugl Supportive and Cooling Body Pillow to review. It arrived at the perfect time!!! The first thing that I noticed about it was how large it was…it’s not a flimsy rinky-dink body pillow like you find out in retail stores. Oh no, you know this is a premium body pillow just by looking at it! Then you notice the shape…it’s u-shaped. That shape means you can use the body pillow in a variety of different ways.
It’s covered in a self cooling PE fabric to help you sleep cool all night long. At my age (57 years old) I’m a hot sleeper thanks to menopause. Those night sweats are absolutely miserable…so anything that will help me to sleep cooler…I’m all for! Inside the body pillow you’ll find a combination of fiber fill and memory foam. This allows each individual to get a “custom” experience when using it. It’s supportive while being comforting at the same time. Up in the U-Shaped area you’ll notice the fabrication is different, that’s bamboo fiber to help with moisture wicking, breathability and it feels soft against your skin.
Two sizes are available: Standard and Large. Two colors: White and Gray.
As an added bonus to this awesome body pillow is that the cover is removable…which means you can machine wash it. That’s right, keep it looking nice and germ-free by laundering the cover in your washing machine. If you want to take it with you while traveling it easily folds in half and you hook to button-straps together to hold it into place. You can take it with you when traveling or make it more portable moving it from room to room.
How have I been using the Hugl? Well, I’m going to tell you. I sleep my head on it and the bottom portion between my legs. It takes pressure off my hips and knees. No fussing with multiple bed pillows sliding around. During the day when I’m sitting up in bed…we fold it up like a supportive back rest. I can watch TV, read a book or get onto my tablet for a little bit. Without it, sitting up comfortably would be difficult right now.
I’m no doctor or healthcare professional but I can honestly tell you that the Hugl is helping me get through this difficult surgery and recovery process. I’m more comfortable using it. I wish I had it when I went through the previous three joint replacement surgeries. Yes folks, it’s made that much of a difference in my life right now. I highly recommend it!!!
The Hugl can help relieve back pain, leg pain, knee and hip pain, snoring, insomnia and I bet that pregnant women would sleep more comfortably using the Hugl too. Check out the company’s website to read all of the great reviews!!! You can connect with the company on Facebook and Instagram.
