I can't sleep at night, so I read. But I have to sleep on side & spend all nite trying to adjust pillow to hold up my Ipod Touch! Will this work on bed facing me? Oh, I hope so. Thanks

Yes I think so. I use my IPad Mini on it's side (landscape) everyday. It should work in bed too.

if it is on the bed yes, if it is on your chest or stomach it may fall on your face.

I normally used this laying on my back BUT I have used it while on my side with no problems with it holding my ipad mini.

I think it might. They great thing is the filling is not a solid piece of foam, so you can squish it into position. And you can either add or remove some of the filling if you can't get the position right. But it won't "hold" your device if you are trying to use it on a big angle or upside down ;) That said, I tried it on a 45 degree angle like I think you would use it, and the surface of the bed will keep your device from slipping off the log.

I had not thought about that, but it could happen - not sure if you'd want to use as a pillow for your head, but if your bed is extremely soft and you're looking for some lumbar support, I suppose that might be useful.

It needs something behind it to be effective. That being said, it works well then. I'm using it right now, and I have it turned upside down! It depends how I am sitting or laying down how I use it. The fact that it is not flat, like a pillow for instance, means that it can be put in lots of different positions.I like its small size and flexibility. I generally use my own thinking to make things be the way I want them to!

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.

It is advertised as having the wake/sleep function but it doesn't. You can glue a small magnet on the lower lip to make it work. See further discussion and an explanation on how to make it work with the wake/sleep mode. http://www.amazon.com/review/RMXSVQEO8RYI7/ref=cm_cd_pg_pg3?ie=UTF8&asin;=B005Y1CYSQ&cdForum;=Fx10EBJ5CNQW6PH&cdPage;=3&cdThread;=TxEIJBTW355CRI&store;=electronics#wasThisHelpful

You have to put it on the top side of the pillow. I found this particular item disappointing. I would not waste good money on it. It might have been acceptable if there was a way to increase volume. I stopped using mine. It wasn't a good solution.

The way it's designed means it won't function the way it's intended to if you sleep on it. This is a moist heat heating pad - it draws the moisture from the air, which it can't do if it's between you and your bed.

I sleep on my side as well. The indentation is basically to cradle your neck. Your head rests on the main part of the pillow just like any other pillow. I haven't had any problems with my ear going to sleep, but then I never had that problem with a regular pillow.

I am a side sleeper, but when I travel I am usually sitting up. I tried the pillow side lying, and if youput your arm under your head it works.

It all depends on if you use your eyes to look down only. I use it for my IPAD. I also have Arthritis in my neck. This product works for me.

I have a sleep number bed (clone)-this device works simply-by raising the head of the mattress-it works fine in my situation-though it is my weight that creates the hinge effect-the mattress raises nearly flat but when I get on it the head stays high and the body drops down to the platform-hope this helps-it is an excellent device considering the options/costs available right now.

When I sleep on my stomach, I turn my face to the side, so I can breathe properly. With this on, your face would probably be forced straight into the pillow or mattress. It would probably work, but be very uncomfortable.

I'm not sure, but I did find that if I adjusted the position of the back part, it worked better. For me it's at the base of my skull. You might be able to find relief by experimentation. It would at least keep you in the dark, which is better for sleep. Sorry I couldn'y be more help.

I do lay on my side on the pillow However, that sort of defeats all the purposes and I try not to. It was difficult at first but now I usually stay on my back all night long and I am sleeping much more soundly than I was before I got the pillow. I love it.

It is really designed to make your bed more like an armchair so you can read easily in bed. That said, I've fallen asleep reading in bed now that I have this backrest bc I am comfortable. It is a bit on the small side so it may be hard to add regular pillows.

I have a sleep # / Adjustable bed and I just leaned it up against the wall at head of the bed. When the bed is flat it rests against the headboard and when head is raised it stays leaned in place against the wall as long as no one moves the headboard it's fine. It has been that way for over a year with no problem.

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.
