Does this pillow help one that sleeps on their back?

yes. I got one years ago and used it all the time. Was especially good when I had a headache. It really helps. Mine was really worn and could never find it again. I was so glad to find it on Amazon. It is too hard at first, have to break it in, but works great.

I sleep on my side and back. This pillow is flatter so when I am on my back, it doesn't hyperflex my neck. That used to give me a headache in the morning. I wake up headache free. I can't do without this pillow.

The curvature is both on the ends (thickest) and center (thinnest) part of the pillow. Thus, you have great support whether you sleeps on your back or side (right or left).

If your back problem requires you to keep your legs elevated then I think this pillow would work for you. My wife has lower back issues and this pillow allows her to sleep at night. She use to use a recliner as a bed until we got this pillow. She loves it and I have my wife back. Hope it works for you.

As a person who uses this nasal pillow, I sleep often on my back and at times on my side.

No, it keeps it's shape well through the night. It is a firm pillow, maybe too firm for some people. I personally like side sleeping with it though I tend to back sleep most of the time.

Perhaps it is how you are using your OPTP pillow and regular pillow. I found that if I just used the OPTP pillow - slept on my back on side with it under my neck - AND a very soft, almost flat down or similar pillow for my head that my back didn't hurt. it takes a few nights to get used to the OPTP pillow.

It would be possible if you used other pillows for positioning yourself in bed to relieve any additional pressure points if you must sleep on your back. Otherwise, you might try positioning with regular pillows on your side or stomach. A friend used one to sleep, but he used a recliner which worked really well. A lot of it has to do with what type of bed you have to sleep on.

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.

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.

Yes! It gives great support, more than other travel pillows I have tried. However it doesn't have quite as much padding in the back as a typical airplane pillow so you might need to add an extra layer there.

In my opinion this pillow is not ideal for stomach sleepers. This pillow works really well for keeping your spine straight. I have a bad back and sleeping on your stomach is the worse thing a person can do.

I believe so. I move around a lot, and sometimes sleep on my stomach. It's very comfortable no matter how I sleep. My husband is the pickiest sleeper on the face of the planet, and he says it's the most comfortable pillow he's ever used.

This pillow is used mostly to elevate your back and chest area so that one does not drown from post nasal drip. I also use a pillow at the top for my head and neck area. I have found this pillow absolutely wonderful and get a much more restful sleep being elevated.

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.

Poofy, it's not. It's a very hard and heavy pillow and about 10 inches thick. Personally, it was too hard for me, Pillow just wouldn't compress that much. If you're a back sleeper, it should work just fine.

Hello,I guess if you do not turn your head so much during your sleep, it can work. They are bulky though, that is why they are efficient I guess. I would advise no pillow or a thin one.Good luckroland

Yes I bought it for my mother and she sleeps in it when her back hurts. Hope this helps.
