I don't use it for elevating my legs but after knee surgery I was instructed to elevate my legs. Pillows had to be put under the calf and the ankle and foot couldn't be on the pillow. I sleep on my side and don't see how a wedge pillow would work for you. I would think it would be difficult to even use regular pillows if you're a side sleeper.

It's very supportive. I have used this while lying on my side for support, it stays put. My main purpose was to have under my knees, I'm a back sleeper.

My wife uses this mostly now. She is a side sleeper. She uses this every night and it helps her fall asleep pretty quickly. For her, it blocks everything. I have a slightly crooked nose, so I get very little light in through the nose area. I also don't have issues falling asleep. She first laughed it it when I got it but now uses it every night.

I wear this brace when I sleep sometimes. This brace is a compression brace and it works by reducing swelling in the joint. By reducing the swelling it reduces pain. It does also give support but I would not say thats it's main purpose. With that in mind it does not take much to reduce swelling and should not be tight. I found the longer I wore the brace the better my knees were and felt. If the brace was too tight I would not be comfortable wearing it for extended periods of time. I think a good way to judge the right pressure is.... You should not notice an obvious mark or difference in thickness of your leg above or below the brace where it ends. There should not be a bulge above or below... and even after removing there shouldnt be a noticeable mark. This brace has made a world of difference for me and actually returned my knees to a normal looking knee as the swelling in them from injuries and lymes disease. I am 45 and very athletic. I still cant run anymore but atleast I can move again and hope to run again someday. For now I cycle. Good luck! ps. I you are a guy you will probably go to tight. Men seem to believe if a little is good... Alot must be better. LOL NO NO NO!!!

Yes, I sleep exclusively on my side. Initially there was some shoulder pain on one side where I had a previous injury. That situation has resolved. I recommend this product.

I am a side sleeper and have gone to using mats or air mattresses for the same reason. I think these mats are great! The first night I was disappointed, but that was because the mats were new and we took them out of the package and used them right away. The next night after they had time to warm up and expand fully, I didn't notice the ground at all. Of course even in a real bed I have to roll over during the night, so same applies with these.

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.

This thing is really worth the money my legs would fall to sleep after a few min..sitting, but no longer, I am able to sit longer and not feel as through I would famll upon standing..

I've never used it while sleeping so I'm not sure about that. It's comfortable enough that you can use it on a daily basis. I can imagine you can work out with it even though I've never done that. Sorry I can't be more helpful.

Michael, your legs would definitely hang over ! You might want to get an extension for the leg rest, do not know if this is an option.

I am a side sleeper and many of the older memory foam mattresses I have tried were fine if you didn't move at all during the night. The new combination materials that go into the pillow tops offer a different experience altogether. I find this mattress was comfortable for my side style of sleeping. I would also recommend you move this mattress as little as possible. Every time I have moved this mattress it loses more firmness.

I use it all the time for travel on planes, cars and buses, and it provides great support. For planes you need to underinflate it, as it will inflate more as you gain altitude due to lower air pressure. As for sleeping you will have to try it out yourself to see if it will work for you, but I can't imagine it not working.Good lck............

I am also a back sleeper and love it for my knees. I also noticed that Carex has a memory foam knee pillow that looks like it is for side sleeper, you might check that out too.

Yes, definitely. That is reason I bought this item, and it works great on the bed, the floor, the couch..where ever you want to lie down. There is enough room to exercise my legs while on my back, which is helpful to me. I put it in the position to be on my back, and I keep it that way put off to the side in my room, then I don't have to deal with positioning the legs again. I hope this has helped you. :)

No I haven't used it for this purpose. I put it on the bottoms of my feet before bed to help me sleep. Works great for this purpose.

After a few nights of using it, I've noticed none on my white sheets. I'm a side/stomach sleeper as well.

I did not find that it helped much with night sweats. I have a cool gel pillow that is cooler but doesn't stay cool for the entire night.
