I turn from right to left quite a bit while sleeping, is it easy to shift the entire body to the other side of the pillow mid-sleep?

I shift almost every night. So far I haven't found it to be difficult, but the only part that takes more coordination is swapping your legs around the pillow.

I sleep both ways and have not had a problem because I have a fluffy pillow. Make sure not to adjust the strap too tight!

I'm a side-sleeper and this pillow has been great. My head doesn't slide into the center, but when you roll over in the night if you're on your back for awhile, your head will go into the indent which puts your neck at the right angle. Then if you roll onto your other side, the size of the pillow naturally puts your head back up on the other elevated side so your neck is straight again. I've been using these for over 3 years now and I even pack it in my suitcase when I travel because any other pillows give me neck aches.

I am a side sleeper and I have no problem ...It takes a little time to get the pillow relaxed butI can no longer sleep on anything but a buckwheat pillow....easy to take on trips...planes..

Not sure what "regular pillow" refers to. If you mean a straight body pillow, the difference is to switch sides at night you don't have to move your pillow. I love that I can just move from position to position without moving the pillow position and then use it to help support me while sitting up. Not sure if I will give it up post partum. I suffered last pregnancy with a straight body pillow.

Not very. I'm having major low-back problems when I wake up. I'm looking for a way to make it feel firmer or else I'll have to find a firmer one. Good luck!

It can be; this pillow is a bit more stiff than the usual type of pillow so it does take some getting used to but I wouldn't go back to a regular pillow ever; I am a side sleeper and manage to sleep just fine on it; I do tuck my shoulder under it and push the pillow under my neck to cradle and support it more, but I am using it for side sleeping.

If you are a side sleeper, you will use either end of the pillow depending on which side you are sleeping on. If you sleep on your back, you will position your head in the center where it sinks in.

I sleep on my side and my stomach. It is firm enough but not hard for stomach sleeping. I find it comfortable. You want to make sure you let it air out before sleeping on it. We let it air out for 4 days before putting it in the bedroom, otherwise there is an odor from the mattress.

Definitely not. For me, I found that with a buckwheat pillow that my head would stay in the same spot throughout the night, largely preventing me from spending the night tossing and turning. That was my experience with this pillow, hours of head rolling side to side trying to find a "spot" I liked.

I am a side and back sleeper.......and this pillow is very comfortable for both !

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.

Yes, it IS hard, but eventually it softens up a bit. It is still firm, but after a week or so of sleeping on it, I love it to death. Since I sleep on my stomach mostly, I end up hugging the pillow to me so I am not just resting my head on the edge of it... when I am on my side, I also end up at the edge of it. Like Another reviewer said, I wish it were a little longer. Body-sized pillow? I would definitely buy it!

Interesting you say that. I too used to have a sore ear from sleeping on my side, but I haven't since I got the pillow. Not sure if that's the reason or not, but it hasn't bothered me in a while. Wish I could be more helpful and assure you 100% but it makes sense, as the pillow is constantly conforming to your head as you turn.

I usually sleep on my back in the beginning of the night, the sleep on my side for the rest of the time. I'm not sure if it trains you to sleep on your back but it sure makes sleeping on your back much more comfortable for your neck.

I find that when I sleep on my side, I end up with my head in the hole, too. I sleep like that intentionally with no problems. If I want to side sleep and keep my head elevated, I turn the pillow around and sleep on the "top" part. Both ways work well for me and I am very pleased with this pillow!
