Dr, said I need a pillow that forces me to sleep on my side. I don't need the breathing apparatus. Is this the pillow that does that?

This is the most comfortable side sleeping pillow I have ever have used. It does not force you to do anything. However it is most comfortable on your side.

No this will not make you sleep on your side. you need a type of wedge pillow to be placed behind you

Nadine , This pillow will not make you sleep on your side . It is really helpful with the c-pap mask on , but , otherwise , it will not be beneficial to you for side sleeping . Good Luck .

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.

It is not like a nasal pillow (only goes in nostrils). The top of the triangle goes on the bridge of your nose and the bottom part is on your chin ("full face" describes that). This fits in the mask, so is a replacement cushion for the ResMed Ultra Mirage mask.

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.

I returned the product because it is way smaller than it looks in the picture. I don't believe you could sleep on your side on it unless you put your arm under the pillow. Check the measurements before you order it.

My husband uses the buckwheat pillow and says that there is no noise in your ear when you sleep on your side. And . . . the comfort of the pillow is outstanding.

I sleep on my side most of the time. One of the things I like about this pillow is that all of the little kernals of \pearlite or whatever it is inside generally hold on to one another. If I scrunch up the pillow so that it supports my head in a higher position, it does that well. It is not foamy or bouncy, so it allows me to lie still and thus helps itself hold the height I wanted it at. Later, if I want it higher or lower, I can almost always get it exactly where I want it. I have even used it to support my head while sitting on the airplane for long periods of time. It can also be smushed down if you want to lie on your back with your head only surrounded and in one place. Great 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.

I sleep on my side mostly, this pillow doesn't offer as much support as I'd like. Face down, or back sleepers would benefit more.

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

No, not really. I have a CPAP, and when I don't use it with this pillow, I definitely still snore.

I'm very comfortable with this pillow. I'm a side sleeper and angle it so my face is on one end and the other end is supporting my back. More airflow, less body heat that way.

I found this wedge to be hard. I sleep on my arm on my side and I couldn't get comfortable with this wedge. There isn't a lot of give to it at all which I found disappointing because I also use a soft down pillow as well. I wanted this because I have to lie somewhat raised because of my sinuses. I hope that helps.

Depends if you have a short neck or long, so position accordingly. Although my neck is shorter after a whiplash injury, I need the firm support of the long-neck side. Also, people with a reflux problem need to keep their head elevated during sleep. (Aside: This pillow was too narrow, I found another/better choice for me.)

It doesn't really work well if you're on your side. It's kind of heavy and it would need to be very tight to keep it in place. I always try propping it up against my face with a pillow but I end up on my back eventually.

I sleep on my side. I use another small pillow on top. It is comfortable and I have not had any problems.

I used to be a two pillow person. But when using the memory foam side of this pillow I don't seem to need two pillows.
