Will this product work while sleeping? If I am sleeping on my left side, will this help keep my right shoulder from falling forward?

I bought this for my fiance. It helps her to keep a better posture more so while sitting working in front of the computer. She hasn't tried sleeping with it as it is a bit uncomfortable to wear for long periods of time.

Sorry. I can not really help you as I sleep only on one side or the other and for that it is acceptable as I have a chronic neck problem that requires a certain head elevation in order to be comfortable.

This product is great for correcting your shoulder position, but it won't strengthen your shoulder, sounds like you should consider physical therapy also.

Yes, I had bursitis going on in my right shoulder, that really gave me problems at night time (I sleep on my side). I used a large patch at bedtime over the shoulder joint for about 2 weeks with very good results. It took the pain away better than ibuprofen and allowed me pain-free sleep.

I sleep on my side, and I have no problem. I have been sleeping with these every night for years and they are the greatest! Sometimes when i wake up it's off but they are perfect for helping you fall asleep. I recommend this product.

Yes it works for both arms...I used it only for my right arm.I use it only while playing cricket and it has been good, protects my shoulder from dislocating.

I was wondering the same thing. I am a back sleeper. I'm not sure if sleeping on this would work or maybe sleeping with the leg lifting pillow on here would work better.

I have used it for sleeping in all positions. I was concerned about my hips bottoming out but it works pretty well. I used it in my padded truck bed in conjunction with a pick up truck tent. Hope this helps.

I would suppose that would depend on why you are getting neck strain. If it is because your head is flopping to the side when you fall asleep then yes this will help. It does help to hold your head up right. I don't think there is anything though that can make sleeping on a plane comfortable. This pillow does help though.

No this will not make you sleep on your side. you need a type of wedge pillow to be placed behind you

I sleep both ways and have not had a problem because I have a fluffy pillow. Make sure not to adjust the strap too tight!

I've used the thumb support while sleeping and it does help.. You have to be careful not to tighten the straps too much..Otherwise, you'll cut off circulation, and then your hand becomes abit uncomfortable, and starts to throb.. waking you up.

You use the "sides" for sleeping on your side. I can only do this sparingly given prior neck surgery, but it seems to work for my short times

I used this few weeks ago on a plane. I'm not sure what you mean by sleeping on your side though but you can definitely lean your head to the side with this.

It did not happen to me and I was surprised. I purchased mine during a very bad vertigo diagnosis. I needed to stay at 45 angle for 48 hours. I used a hand towel because I personally didn't want to breath in any fumes ( I didn't have any that were mentioned in reviews) so placed towel under my head. I am a side sleeper. 5' 5" and about 220 pounds. And wear light night shirts likened to soft tee shirt material. I am assuming all the factors I mentioned above have an influence. I did sleep on my back sometimes also. Really had no problems. And as my Dr. promised the vertigo was gone after the exercises and 48 hour BED WEDGE delight lol. I am a huge pain in the butt. I do not like to be uncomfortable in ANY situation. And I accommodated. I also will add I have a neurological disorder in my face/brain. I am in excruciating pain all the time. So I spend a lot of my time resting. I got used to it almost right away. If you're wearing a silky night gown or are petite in height or size that could be an issue for you. If you bought it for long term sleeping I would seriously consider a 7" Or 12. Good Luck.

Yes, I believe it would help stabilize your shoulder because it is very adjustable - best of luck!

Hello Ozog! I measured it especialy for you))) Neck support area is not same thick everywhere))) Yes. From one side let's say it's bottom for me, so for my neck: right in the middle it's 3,5" and at the sides it's 4 1/4" (which is exactly my shoulder side). So when I sleep on my back it's lower and when I sleep on my side I just turn to one of sides and my shoulder relax too. But if you're man you'll enjy to turn it upside down and you'll sleep on side which is opposite to my bottom) Measurments there are 4" in the middle and 5 1/4" at the sides. Thus man shoulder will relax too. Sorry for mistakes, I always in hurry when typing. I can just add to my previous wow that time passed and I still think it's the best solution for my neck. And it's universal for man and woman. So you can turn it and find your comfortable side. If you buy it, you'll be very surprised about it shape. This picture doesn't show sides. Sellers do not realize that they could sell much more if they show sides.
