It's wonderful. I, too, am 5'9 and it fits me perfectly. I think the cushioning is just right (and if you do think it's too soft, an extra pillow on top works just fine.) The pillow case fabric is nice and soft. The head area has plenty of room. I slept in it for the first time last night and I don't think I moved all night long (except to get up to pee!) And this morning when I got out of bed, I came back to find my husband sleeping in it! Highly reccomend.

My wife had been having trouble sleeping until I purchased the "cozy comfort pregnancy pillow" for her. She has been sleeping like a baby ever since and she's not waking up complaining about back pain. This is an A+ product and a must have for a pregnant women.

My wife was not sleeping well toward the end of her pregnancy, and spoke about being too warm at night also. Since she started sleeping with this pillow, I havent heard another comment about bad sleep. She loves it and says she will use it even after the baby is born.
