is this pillow okay for the couch. our couch is without arms and I want something my husband can use for support instead of multiples pillows behind

Depends on what you mean by "okay for a couch". If it is like mine was it will not be better than a normal pillow. Mine at least wasn't stiff enough to offer any support especially the arms of it.

I bought this as a gift for a friend who had bad back issues - she uses it in her bed and LOVES it! She never tried it on a couch. I would guess that since the back of the pillow is kind of thick, it may make the seat of the couch too shallow to sit comfortably if you have long legs.

absolutely!! this thing is so sturdy!! we got it several months ago and i take them from the bed to where ever i want to be comfortably sitting!! i have lower back osteoporosis and this is so amazing!!

Actually I bought two of these. I use one on my bed and the other on my couch for watching TV. So yes, it is almost perfect for a couch.

Yes - it would fit next to us on the couch if we wanted it to but we instead put it on the coffee table in front of us with a blanket underneath it so we can see them as we watch tv! Ultimately, we use two bouncy seats way more than the pillow...

Yes! You can lay your chest and arm on it. My wife just had a baby and we used it and support her from every angle. A really recommended.

Yes! I used it both wrapped behind and also cuddling it in front. I'm a little over 38 weeks now and I've abandoned the pillow. It takes too much effort to turn over which needs to happen very often.

I don't use the Back-Hugger with a recliner myself, but of the reviewers wrote : "I have found this pillow to be very useful when sitting on a couch or recliner chair. I particularly like the fact that is is wider than most pillows that purport to do the same thing."

Alittle, my husband loves it, he is bigger than me. I like it laying in my side best. It puts your head at the correct angle. I prefer a softer pillow but this gives better support than a softer one.

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.

Keep in mind that this pillow is very soft and easy to manipulate. If you normally like to use a firm pillow in a recliner, this might not be a good choice. I used mine as A head and arm rest during a flight and I absolutely loved it. Overall, it will depend on what you will use it for and what you personally need for comfort.

If you have an armchair armrest that is not much longer than where you rest your arm, this 6 pocket arm rest organizer may not be the best for your use. I bought it for my lady's use because the armrest area on her chair allows her enough room to place the organizer at the most forward part of the armrest and still leaves her room to rest her arm comfortably. I can't use it on my chair due to the length of the organizer. Pay close attention to the information listed for ANY armrest organizer. It usually tells you the dimensions of the product.Joe

I have just needed this for your very question as I torn my meniscus in my knee and am going to be having surgery. I have now been using this pillow every night just for this purpose for over a week now. It is firm yet soft it has been perfect for me. I hope that answers your question and that it will work for you.

Yes. I absolutely LOVE this pillow. It's actually my shoulder that I use it on mostly, but it is so flexible in moving it to the area that needs it most. I actually bought a second one so I'd always have one available -- I keep them in the freezer, but they are still soft and pliable, cold, but not TOO cold to stand.

I have not used this pillow for lumbar support but I would suggest that the pillow is soft and therefore would not be suitable.

Hi this pillow is not rock hard but I do find it has moderate support when sitting on the couch. It is a beautiful pillow I have two actually.

it's pretty bulky so to sit with it behind you isn't comfortable..works better to lay on your side and wedge it between the couch and your back. Like you I wanted something to put on my back and sit against..this wasn't it.

Maybe if you had two. I prefer having two. But my husband is ok with one. I've had mine for a year and my high plush since February and they're both holding up perfectly. Although I do wish I'd gotten another firm because I don't like sinking into my pillow. :)

I wish I could tell you a special trick to use but my daughter folded the couch into position before I got home. She did it by herself which surprised me because it is very heavy.Maybe if you got another person to help, you could put it in place. I know I could not have done it alone.
