How do you keep from slipping down during the night? Does that happen with you?

I got used to it somehow, but still occasionally slip down. Also weekdays its great, on weekends, I have to actually get rid of it completely if I want to sleep more than usual 7 hrs. So still not used to it for more than 7 hrs!

I do not slip down during the night. I use it about one-half way up and do not do a lot of tossing and turning. My light weight covers provide the weight needed to hold me in place.

Nope. I only used for post-surgery. I was not sleeping much anyway . But it's a nice prop for PC or reading.

I am assuming you use your wedge under your head and if that is the case, try placing a firm pillow under your thighs starting at knee level to upper thigh to form a blockade from your torso pulling your head off the wedge or reverse and use a firm pillow under head and wedge under thighs.

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.

I use the InteVision Four Position support Pillow under my knee to keep me from sliding. So far it works much better than without it.

I slipped down the first week or so. I am unsure if I got used to it, or if there was eventually a slight depression that I can't see or what, as I now wake up about in the same spot every time....not all the way at the top, but about middle of the wedge. I wish I knew how. Hopefully someone has a trick for you

Yes there is some slippage. I think it is due to the oversized wedge Bed pillow.

Hi Sharon,I do slip down on my pillow, but I am more of a mover and shaker when I sleep. My husband slips down a little, but not much because he keeps a large pillow under his knees and seldom moves around. Maybe try the pillow or possibly a strip of silicone on the pillow. Hope this helps.

I'm sorry to say but I have the same problem with mine when I go to recline back down . No , I have not found a way to fix that either . Sorry that I couldn't help more .

you can glue little rubber feet to the bottom, which will prevent sliding.. or that rubber matting that you put under carpets. I have mine against a window seat.. it does double duty to assist my old guys in climbing up.. but I always find it in other areas of the room, and turned over.. they don't seem to mind, and get quite excited when I right it!

I think I know what you mean. I've had the light move up on me. What I do is point it all the way down then pull back up to where I want it. It more or less stays in place after that barring any severe bumps.

The Big Agnes air mattress I had was comfortable but terrible slick. I spent half the night sliding around. Much better to get a Thermarest sleeping pad. It's bulkier when rolled up but much more comfortable, especially on a concrete floor. Go with a Thermarest pad!!

Mine tends to work its way up or down, but I just try to feel for the edge and adjust it back in place when I make the bed.

I have this on an adjustable sleep number bed. The mattress is thick plus the head and foot goes up and down. I have never had a problem with the pad slipping off. Hope this helps

I lay flat on my back most of the time. I do suggest using the "low" setting to avoid possible blistering.

Yes, but I cover it with a piece of dark tape. It's the noise, relatively speaking, that could keep you up at night.

I have not noticed it slip at all. I have loosened the lower strap to keep pressure at a minimum whilst still giving me the support i sought. It seems fine in terms of staying in place.

Mine fall out every once in a while. I wake up a couple times every night and just make sure it is in place and go right back to sleep. I really don't have a solution.

I have had no problems with them slipping. You might try wrapping something on the ankle under your weights to help hold them tighter.

Mine does not slip around at all. Maybe you could sew one of the seams tighter. No other ideas. Sorry.

I have never had mine come loose while sleeping but my wife has. If you sleep on your back they could fall toward your throat opening but I do not think you would choke on them due to their shape and flexibility. I suppose swallowing them is a possibility but not likely.

Try making sure everything's seated right. I've had that problem when I'm groggy and rushing it.

Yup. I subletted my apartment and, when I returned, I discovered that my subletter (about 190 pounds) chilled with one of her friends on the bed almost every night - also about 180 pounds. I didn't think it was a good idea, but apparently it held! Haha!

Yes, I do, but not every night. I do it either every other night or a few times a week to maintain them.
