Is it comfortable to sleep on your side using this pillow?

I have not been able to get comfortable on this pillow. I am a side sleeper but did not sleep much. I tried for a week but am not using it anymore.

Yes. You may have to try different pillow combinations to get it just right. Anything different will take a bit of getting used to, but you will likely be just fine after trying out different pillow arrangements with this wedge.

I sleep on my side with this pillow constantly. I found it worked best if I put my hip right where the wedge starts and then my head is up at the very top. It helps keep me from sliding down and isn't uncomfortable at all. Both my sons (5 & 7 yrs) use this pillow when they have post nasal issues and they can sleep on their sides with it as well.

Oh, I am a side sleeper too. It can be done to sleep on the wedge on your side but only in short segments. I found it too uncomfortable for lengthy periods and you have to experiment to find the OK bend point. I bought the wedge to use following surgery and later used it during brief periods of acid reflux or bad colds w/ sinus drainage. I have discovered that on my back on the wedge I am somewhat more comfortable with a small pillow or rolled up towel under my lower neck & tops of my shoulders. I hope this helps.

I had a little trouble adjusting to sleeping on my side with the wedge because it is quite firm. It helped when I used a down filled pillow under my head. It took about a week before I really felt comfortable on my side but I got used to it and now that is how I always sleep.

I also sleep on my side and back and this pillow has been the most comfortable in any position! I also use cotton pillow cases and as "doca rescue" mentioned, any fabric pillow case would work, whatever is most comfortable for you! This pillow is definitely worth the price!

Hi Sarah. What you see in the picture is the side that you're supposed to sleep on; it's the only option. The other side has a hard plastic spout, which, I suspect, wouldn't be very comfortable to rest one's ear on. Again, that's really the only drawback of the pillow; the inability to flip it over in the middle of the night.

Yes. I purchased it for my husband who is a side sleeper, and he slept very well on the pad.

Yes. All positions are comfortable. I was never a back sleeper but now I do with this pillow frequently.

I sleep on my side as well. I have had my pillow now for several months. It works wonderfullly. I use any type of pillow case. Cotton breathes the best and is soft on your skin however you can use any pillowcase you like. I got the standard /queen size. It is more standard than queen. if you like a larger pillow you can use the king but i have found this size to be perfectly sized for side sleeping. hope this helps

It's okay. I bought it because I broke my collar bone and needed a special pillow. I don't think it's made for side sleeping.

Sure. I also sleep on my side and use a soft pillow (though - not down). The wedge isn't that long - it covers from the top of my head to my shoulders (approximately).

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 am also a side sleeper. I have used it once since purchasing and had a very comfortable sleep

I sleep on my side most of the time. My mattress was new, but too firm and a bit warm. This makes it very nice.

Hi Kiki, regarding this pillow, I really like it a lot. As a person who sleeps on their back, it's very comfortable and really helps my chronic neck pain but using this pillow for sleeping on my side doesn't work at all for me. It's not comfortable and my face does slide back into the center of the pillow. I hope this helps you. Sandy

It takes a little getting used to, but I sleep on my side all the time with it. It has enough "give" so it's pretty comfortable.

I am a side sleeper and I find it comfortable but I also use a foam pad on it and I am ordering a cot mattress for it.

Yes, it will somewhat be uncomfortable. It's not hard material but niether is it soft, I for one normally sleep on my sides or facing down but I gave up sleeping face down after purchasing this product. I am not saying you "can't", surely you can but while you move around in your sleep it will move a little around your face. I should have included this on my review..

Yes, I usually sleep on my side and it is comfortable enough. Now, I only use this one or two nights a week so I can't speak for using this as a main bed.

I sleep on my side as well. Only reason I noticed any noise at all is because it was mentioned on reviews by those who would obsess over such things. Truth be told, one's own hair makes noise so it is about the same category as that. In other words, the brain ends up overriding these little things after a bit. On the other hand, being that the pillow conforms so well, you end up not moving nearly as much as you may trying to adjust a traditional pillow so I say it's a wash, overall.
