Is this pillow only for back sleepers?

Hi Marilyn, this pillow is designed for great sleep on your back or side. The memory foam forms comfortably to your sleep position.

Yes, it is perfect for side sleeper. I used to get a smushed up ear until I starting using this pillow.

I believe it would be a good pillow to use if you have neck and shoulder pain and sleep on your side. The pillow is firm and supportive enough to keep your neck in a comfortable position. It is also flexible enough to shape to conform to individual preferences.

It can be; this pillow is a bit more stiff than the usual type of pillow so it does take some getting used to but I wouldn't go back to a regular pillow ever; I am a side sleeper and manage to sleep just fine on it; I do tuck my shoulder under it and push the pillow under my neck to cradle and support it more, but I am using it for side sleeping.

I'm a back sleeper and this pillow is great. Helps me stop snoring. This pillow will hold your head up so doen't sound like you want this one its about 5 - 6 inches high.

I sleep on my side and find it a reasonably comfortable pillow. You should know it is firm, perhaps even hard in the sense that most stuffed pillows will gradually shift their stuffing, settling into the shape of your head. This one does not do that very much, it is not hard like a brick but neither does it let you sink into it very far. While I can not speak for others, I would expect that if you like a solid, slightly yielding pillow, this is for you. If your preference runs to the more squishy pillows you probably will not like it.

No. It molds so well to your body it actually makes side sleeping more comfortable. I wasn't sure if I'd like this pillow, but now I'll never go back to any other kind.

It's fairly firm, yes. I'm also a side sleeper and it works very well for me.

I sleep on my back most of the time and this pillow has molded itself to my contours. Others I have tried keep their original shape, being to hard or have unnatural curves at the neck and top of head. This one has been firm enough to keep my neck in the correct position but giving enough to form and have true memory foam to remember my shape.

I can only answer for myself and I am a side sleeper. I feel it is the best pillow I have had in all my 60 years!

I sleep on my side and on my back. The pillow is ver comfortable for the most part but I wish it was bigger in general. I need more support under my neck and I feel it's lacking in that.

Based on my experience it does not and would not help you. I have lower back issues and would not use it for this purpose but it is a great pillow.

Yes Jack, I use this pillow and listen to relaxation app. It is comfortable in any sleeping position in my opinion. Also have the travel size and use on the couch for great neck and head support.

Yes, it has support for side sleepers that helps to support your head and neck and keep your spine on alignment as you sleep.

The pillow holds it's shape fine. If you are a back sleeper you could really use any pillow, you don't need a special one. If you are a side sleeper this one is good though.

My husband uses it during side sleep. While it can be used for someone on their back, it's not ideal. So the answer is yes, with limitations.
