Like most nursing pillows you can purchase the Mombo with slipcover or purchase the "nude" pillow and a slipcover separately. I like that as it lets each mom/care givers customize the pillow visually.
The "two sides" turned out to be one of my favorite features. The firm side is firm but not stiff so it allows baby to be fed on that side comfortably without the slouching that other nursing pillows can have. The soft side can also be used for feeding or for baby to lounge or get tummy time in with.
The Mombo has a flexible shape to fit many different shaped and sized moms/care givers. It being used wider doesn't affect it's ability to hold it's overall shape (it doesn't end up in a "v" leaving baby's legs and head without much support like a different brand that shall remain nameless).
The Mombo having one firm side and also being well built means it can be used very effectively to aid as back support for babies learning to sit up unassisted.
The vibration unit, although gentle, was hit or miss with the two little ones I've used this pillow with. One found ot soothing and drifted off into a content and calm state. The vibration scared the other. In fairness anything that vibrates seem to scare him including the vibration on a bouncy seat we have.
Cleanability: As we all know babies are messy and anything they come in contact with needs to be able to be cleaned. The slipcovers can be thrown in the wash with the rest of baby's clothes and mine has held up well to my washer's gentle cycle (what I use for all baby stuff). The pillow itself is recommended as spot clean only which to me leaves a little room for improvement but I suppose you can't win them all. Luckily, I've yet to come across a mess that requires anything more than a spot cleaning after the slipcover was removed.

Overall I rate the Mombo: 4.5/5
Price Range: varies some by store but is comparable to Boppy nursing pillows with the Mombo's slipcovers usually being slightly less expensive than those sold for the Boppy.
