Would this be a good choice for a side sleeper with very bad hip & shoulder pain?

I suffer from arthritis of the hip, some people like the mattresses a little bit softer, I'd say this one is between soft and firm, but to my peace of mind, all the pain I used to sleep and wake up with has gone away since I started sleeping on it. I really hope you can find it as relieving as I have. Good luck!

You might want to get a more high quality foam mattress. This is only 4lb foam I believe, you might be more interested in a mattress with 8-10 lb memory foam. It'll support you better and last significantly longer

It's an amazing product. Sleeps as good as my memory foam bed purchased at a high end back store and costs 1/4 of what I paid. I love memory foam for sleep. This bed needs no box springs either. just bought A metal mesh frame and works great.

I'm a side and stomach sleeper. I think the pillow is fine for sleeping on your stomach. It has enough give to make it really comfortable and so far I have no problem doing so. I could not tell you about the high Loft or low loft, plush or firm, etc. my description is that the pillow is thick but has a good amount of give. I would not consider it to be firm but on the soft end.

Yes, it is perfect for side sleeper. I used to get a smushed up ear until I starting using this pillow.

Possibly. I had rotator cuff surgery and it gave me limited success in being able to lay on that side for short periods.

That is what I used this pillow for most of the time. I liked having the flat side against my lower leg and the round side against my top leg. The pillow stayed in place. I rested the pillow lengthwise from my knee to my ankle which gave my whole leg support. I had tried the "knee" pillow that had a Velcro strap but it did not work for me at all! The strap did NOT hold it in place when I rolled over, it was harder then I liked and it hurt my hip (I had hip replacement) as it tilted my leg down as I rested my ankle on my lower leg.Hope this helps you in making your decision.

I have used it for sleeping in all positions. I was concerned about my hips bottoming out but it works pretty well. I used it in my padded truck bed in conjunction with a pick up truck tent. Hope this helps.

I use it for sleeping on my side. I guess you need to decide how high you are comfortable having your head when you lie on your back.

I'm predominantly a side sleeper (I can only fall asleep on my side) and I found it well suited for that sleeping position. Part of the reason I chose this cot is because it is wide enough for side sleeping. In practice, I found it very comfortable.

I think that this pillow is okay for someone who sleeps on their back. I have only use it for one week. However, I do like the firmness of the large pillow that I bought. I think the quality is much better then the average pillow. I thinks it okay for side position sleeping as well. I do like this pillow as my main pillow head rest.

I wouldn't think so. This pillow is for stomach sleepers, to prevent neck strain. I am a side sleeper, too...and I love my memory foam type pillow. Get anything that gives you enough support that your neck is aligned with your spine. This Ikea pillow is extremely flat...almost like no pillow at all. Hope this helps!

I am a side sleeper and have neck and shoulder pain. At 3AM, I got out of bed and found my old pillow to use instead of the instrument of torture provided by Pacific Coast. I don't think this pillow is good for anything, except perhaps to cushion fragile goods during a move. It's JUNK.

My husband is also a stomach sleeper and has pain in his right shoulder. Since we have had this topper he has had little to no pain in his shoulder and sleeps better than he ever has!

I am a side sleeper (at the beginning) and I like the comfort with two pillows the keep the spine straight. The spouse starts on her back with an orthopedic pillow and never complains.

I think it works well for side sleepers as well as back sleepers. My interest in this mattress was its support for people with back issues (my daughter and son-in-law) and this was recommended for both back and side sleepers with back problems. So far it seems to be great for both of them. Hope this helps.

It's okay. I bought it because I broke my collar bone and needed a special pillow. I don't think it's made for side sleeping.

I'm not using mine any more. I am a side sleeper, but the problem I had was it made the bed too soft and my back started hurting. But that's just me. I purchased a solid genuine Dupont 2" foam topper that that worked out better for me.

It would work fine but keep in mind that this mattress is very firm and will be terribly uncomfortable for anyone who wants to sleep on their side.
