Which side of the pillow are you supposed to sleep on, the ridges or the flat? And just how do you get that extra pillow case on?

You will not get the correct elevation on the flat side, plus the fold will bother you when it will split if you sleep on the flat. Assuming the one you have is the foldable one.

Sleep on the ridged side. The idea is to elevate your head and upper body to about 45 degrees. The pillow case goes in one way only. Fold the pillow first and then slide.

That was my first thought when I saw it, but I'm about 99% sure the ridge side is up. I've bee sleeping on my pillow for a few weeks now, and still like it, my only complaint if I need to have one is my whole body is a little lower in the bed, so my feet are at the very bottom of the bed. I guess I don't sleep high enough on the pillow. But I have not had any acid reflux.

I didn't get the one with ridges but I sleep on the ridges and if it isn't comfortable, I'd flip it over.

Sleep on the flat side of the pillow,the ridge side keeps the pillow from sliding.Pillow case slides on quite easy.The Idea of the wedge iIs keeping the head elevated.

The angle is better with the ridged side up. Also, the ridges add to comfort, coolness, and prevent sliding. If you have the ridged side up, place the large end of the cover over the large end of the pillow, flip up the small end, insert the end of the pillow into the narrow end of the cover, and fold down. It is a snug fit so it won't slide off.

The only opening on my pillow cases where were you put the pillows through and that is it. I'm not sure if I understand you correctly but if you are saying the sides of the pillow cases then you probably got a defective set. I hope that helps

It depends. For me, 2 pillows would be too much, but 1 pillow is not quite ideal. If anything, I would get a thin down pillow as a 2nd pillow for side sleeping. The Sleep Innovations pillow has a memory foam + down alternative, so it doesn't compress enough to use 2 of those pillows. I am doing fine with 1 pillow, but I sleep on my back a lot.

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

I sleep on my side often and angle the pillow for my head to be kind of in the middle. Make sense? It works for me.

It does sleep well on the side ....That was the only way I could sleep,with my regular pillows....The thicker part goes under the neck to support right.I can lay on my back with good support also.......It seems to hold up pretty well Good luck Dean

I also usually sleep on my side (sometimes back, never stomach) and I got the high loft and love it. My neck feels very well supported and the plushness of the pillow allows your head to sink into it comfortably without keeping your neck up at a weird angle or making your ear feel squished.My only other tip would be to make sure you get king size pillow cases. These pillows are long and stick out of normal size pillow cases. Not a big deal since the cover is nice and soft, but it annoys me.

Assuming youEan how high is it with your head on it, it is almost flat. This is a very soft pillow. I am a side sleeper, too, and bunch it up under my head to get some hight.

The bottom of the pillow is flat, the top of the pillow has two supportive humps, one side is smaller than the other and firmer than the other. I have to use the smaller side, the bigger side gives me a headache. I got my first pillow like this, this brand, through a chiropractor and now it's the only one I can sleep on. For me, they will last for about 3 years before I replace them, but that's me. It's not a memory foam where is sinks down, it's a foam, but it's a very supportive foam. I highly recommend this pillow, but keep in mind, different things work for different people. Good luck and if I can answer anything else, just ask and I will do my best!!

It's like a bag of beans... If you lay it flat, it will be of uniform thickness. If you bunch it up to one end or edge, it will be much thicker at that side and less thick at the other. It works well for side-sleeping.

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 sometimes sleep on my back. The contour is slight and feels comfortable. not sure how much of a contour you want but both ways feel great to me! I have spent so much money on doctors, pillows and aids but this is the best investment I have made.

Neither - I sent mine back. I am a side sleeper, and it was very flat (did not look like the photo). Ended up going with a Pacific Coast Double Down Around pillow from THEIR website. You then have a choice of soft, medium, and firm. I have a soft Double Down Around and a standard down stuffed into a single pillow protector, and boy is it ever fluffy and big!

I find it most comfortable for sleeping on your back (head tilted R or L occasionally). After some time, I push it aside and sleep on my side on the traditional pillow that was underneath.

I have only the pair of zippered covers that came with the pillows since it is not recommended that you use a regular pillow case. I put a regular case over them in transit on a trip but NOT for sleeping. Would love to have a spare pair--but very expensive....

I got the tri-core pillow because someone else with bulging discs recommended it. I like it for laying flat on my back but don't like it for when I roll to my side. My tempurpedic is better for side sleeping (but not back sleeping). Basically, some nights I switch between 2-3 pillows.

The pillow is sightly smaller that a standard pillow shaped like a rectangular doughnut with the middle having less filling than the outer ring creating a natural hollow for your head while supporting you neck and is very comfortable, I would describe as being a neutral position , I would only advise that you check the sewing as we had to stitch the end when i came undone. My wife cannot sleep with any other pillow.
