The "Original" Memory Foam Nursing and Bottle-Feeding Pillow

Cozy CushyCozyCushy™, Inc. is the creator of the Patent-Pending "Original" Memory Foam Nursing and Bottle-Feeding Pillow.

A product so well designed that Breast and Bottle-Feeding has become a comfortable and pleasurable experience for baby and caregiver alike.

Cozy CushyWe have gone to great lengths to manufacturer a product, which meets the essential needs of a nursing mother or bottle-feeding caregiver, as well as, the baby.

The Patent-Pending Three-Layer Memory Foam Nursing & Bottle-feeding Pillow provides the ultimate in comfort and "gentle" support. The Memory Foam "gently and subtly" cradles the baby's body, which relieves pressure points and improves circulation while the infant is feeding. The temperature sensitive "Memory Foam" always returns to its original shape after each use. The extra "Three-Layer Memory Foam Multi-Purpose Pillow" works in this same way, providing extra back, elbow or incline support for the caregiver, while feeding the baby.

Cozy CushyMemory foam pillows are naturally hypoallergenic. However, for "added" cleanliness, CozyCushy's™ Nursing & Bottle-Feeding Pillows also have a Patent-Pending "Sewn-on Inner Cover" which offers: easy cleaning of spills, as well as, provides excellent protection against mold, dust-mites, allergens and bacteria.

CozyCushy's™ convenient "two" side pockets allow for easy storing of small accessories, no matter which side of the pillow is being used.

Cozy CushyCozyCushy™ has made many of its "Removable Outer Covers" in their "Copyrighted Custom Designed Fabrics." These Outer Covers also come in several "stock" fabric options. All "Removable Outer Covers are machine washable.

CozyCushy™ Nursing & Bottle-Feeding Pillow has a larger surface area in which to place the feeding baby, as well as, a larger interior cut out for the caregivers' waistline to fit comfortably. The sides (or arms) of the pillow provide added arm and/or elbow support to alleviate shoulder and neck strain while feeding the baby.

WHY MEMORY FOAM?

Stress-free and Pressure-free support is what makes memory foam so UNIQUE!

Conforming to your body's shape "slowly" and "reducing pressure points," we feel, are the two most important features we can share with you about memory foam.

This accounts for the way that memory foam actually reduces pressure points via its ability to change shape slowly and subtly conform to what lies on top.

Memory foam is temperature sensitive and because of this, the memory foam makes you feel as though you are "melting" into it as you sit or lie down on the product. What this means: at a lower temperature it is harder (or more viscous), and at a higher temperature it is softer and has more bounce (or more elastic).

These are the reasons CozyCushy™, Inc. chose to place two outer layers of the memory foam product on its Nursing & Bottle-Feeding Pillow: To "form a subtle cradle effect" under an infant and to assist in relieving "known" pressure points from the long feedings babies endure. An added benefit is the memory foam also aids in preventing "rolling" while the baby is positioned on top of the pillow.

All these features and reasons listed above are why CozyCushy's™ unique idea for the "ORIGINAL" Memory Foam Nursing & Bottle-Feeding Pillow is Patent-Pending!

CozyCushy's™ Motto: Form + Function = Fabulous Products

At Leachco we make many innovative products, all designed to make both Mom and Baby happy, comfy, cozy, and safe.  Moms like to tell us about their experiences with our products, and we'd like to share some of those comments with you.  Here's a few of our favorites that speak for themselves…

Leachco, Inc. - Safer BatherSafer Bather - Infant Bath Pad
I absolutely love the Safer Bather. My daughter adores bath time and doesn't want to get out because of it.

We used the safer bather at a friend's house for our 5 month old boy and it was excellent. It allows us to use the bath easily without having to hold him all the time & also helps when bathing too. 12 out of 10 from 2 very happy families.


Leachco, Inc. - The NaturalThe Natural - Contoured Nursing Pillow
I've had The Natural nursing pillow since my first was born in 1998. Now I'm due with my third child, and no other nursing pillow will do--The Natural is the best! It was especially welcomed after my c-section.

We are expecting a new baby in several weeks and I can not imagine having the same wonderful successful nursing experience without the benefit of the Natural pillow. Natural is the perfect name!!


Leachco, Inc. - Snoogle® OriginalSnoogle® Original - Total Body Pillow
Love, Love, Love the Snoogle pillow. At 6 mos. pregnant for the 2nd time, wish I had it the first time since I never slept then and do now.

The Snoogle pillow is excellent. I used it from the first month of pregnancy. Whenever I have sore muscles from carrying the baby I sleep with the Snoogle and get great sleep.

All songs were co-written and performed by Philip Bardowell, formerly with the Beach Boys, and Jon Harb, a musician and performer for over 30 years.  All songs are original compositions with a variety of current styles from rock to blues, with fun and educational lyrics for new and expecting parents.  With songs such as "Hormonal Rage," "My Preggo Beauty Queen," and "Glowing" on the Prenatal CD, and  "Sex is my X," "Nightmare on Diaper Street," and "Can't Get Enough Baby Stuff" on the First Year CD, Mommy and Daddy ROCK! is sure to be a hit with your customers!

The Adjustable Prenatal Cradle® is Your Baby's First Cradle™…

At Prenatal Cradle®, we are here to support you and your baby during the incredible experience of pregnancy.  Carrying a baby in your womb is a miracle and feels wonderful.  But as your pregnancy grows, it can also become uncomfortable.  You and your baby deserve only the best, and just as you will cradle your baby in your arms when he or she is born, the Adjustable Prenatal Cradle's® award-winning patented design cradles both you and your baby with the comfort and security you can trust.  Prenatal Cradle®.  Your baby's first cradle.™

Thank you to Prenatal Cradle for producing a product to make pregnancy once again an enjoyable experience. It makes it hard to be joyous when it hurts.

The Loving Comfort® Family of Maternity Supports is a line of premium maternity supports, each designed for optimum comfort and support during and after pregnancy.

maternity support garmentLoving Comfort® Maternity Support provides comfort and support for women during all stages of pregnancy and allows the expectant mother to function more normally. The support provides immediate relief from pain in the lower back, legs and abdominal region. Loving Comfort® Maternity Support virtually eliminates back pain by transferring the weight of the abdomen to the spine where it can be carried naturally. It lifts and supports the abdomen, reducing pressure in the pelvic region, thus improving circulation in the legs. Made of soft elastic, the material is ventilated for coolness and comfort, making it ideal to wear under clothing. And because it doesn't show under clothing, your Loving Comfort® Maternity Support will help you look as good as you feel. Velcro® hook and loop closures accommodate growth throughout the pregnancy. Available in white only.

maternity support garmentMother-To-Be® Maternity Support is especially effective for women with pre-existing back conditions, for multiple births, or for women with severe symptoms that need maximum support and pain relief. Mother-To-Be® can be purchased with a heat moldable insert for the absolute maximum support possible. The moldable insert requires custom fitting and is available to medical professionals only.

postpartum support garmentNew mothers get some additional support with the Loving Comfort® Postpartum Support. Fabricated from a special elastic which is gentle on sensitive skin, this support is lightweight and cool. The Loving Comfort® Postpartum Support is perfect after any birth, especially Caesarian sections. It provides extra support for weakened, stretched abdominal muscles. The Loving Comfort® Postpartum Support can help a woman return to her normal activities sooner. Available in three sizes based on pre-pregnancy waist size: Small fits a 24"-30" waist; Medium fits a 32"-38" waist; Large fits a 40"-46" waist.
