Is this good for neck and shoulder pain? Also do you lay on the entire pillow for side sleeping?

Body pillows are great for neck and shoulder pain, but Do Not buy the Dreamland Body Pillow. Worst pillow ever. Stuffing fell apart the 1st week.

No idea about the neck and shoulder pain, but I usually throw an arm and one leg over it on the nights I use it.

I haven't found it supportive enough for neck and shoulder pain, but I do lay on the entire pillow for side sleeping

Yes you can sleep on your side, but I found that using a regular pillow on top of the wedge gives more support for your neck when sleeping on your side. It is also nice when watching tv in bed, it elevates you just right . I have acid reflux and this wedge is great.

This is more than a "low" pillow...this is nearly flat. If youre looking for minimal support for head while you sleep on your side it may work. It also bunches together well if you need to bulk up a little support..

Two part answer: 1. It'll work for pressing against the back of the shoulder (sandwiching it between your shoulder and a chair, for instance); against the front of the shoulder would be harder, since you'd have to hold it in place and press pretty hard with the other hand, or something; against the top of the shoulder, I couldn't find a way to apply pressure. 2. I didn't find the pillow very useful for shoulder pain, due to the spacing of the rotating-disks-with-bumps inside. They're spaced well for massaging around the spine, lower neck, and shoulders; a little less well for the upper neck; not so well for one shoulder at a time. In vibrate-only mode, I still found that I couldn't get sufficient pressure (with the "cushion" on the top surface of my shoulder) to transmit either the heat or the vibration to the sore area. If my main problem was pain around a shoulder joint, this cushion would not do a good job for me.

Yes I use it sitting up sleeping on my couch for allergy sinus problem. My husband and I use it, we are both completely surprise that it workes so well. Its an odd shape so you have to work with it at first. I have adjusted several ways to help me sleep at night. My husband nods off in the evening I tell him now just to use the pillow it has saved his neck.

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.

Perhaps it is how you are using your OPTP pillow and regular pillow. I found that if I just used the OPTP pillow - slept on my back on side with it under my neck - AND a very soft, almost flat down or similar pillow for my head that my back didn't hurt. it takes a few nights to get used to the OPTP pillow.

I have always used the Tri-core pillow, standard size, and have always been happy with it. I lay on my back and side and it works beautifully, no neck issues.Hope this helps

I sleep on my side often and angle the pillow for my head to be kind of in the middle. Make sense? It works for me.

No, I am a side sleeper and had to cut some of the foam from the pillow because it started to hurt my neck. You might want to look into a more flatter pillow.

I used to be a stomach sleeper. I had all kinds of neck problems, which carried on to back and shoulder problems. Doctors told me it was the stomach sleeping that was the main cause of all this. I had to retrain myself to stop the stomach sleeping, and things are now MUCH better. I wouldn't think this pillow would be good for a stomach sleeper, but each individual has his/her own preferences, so all I can say is try it and see.

I use these pillows for side sleeping and back sleeping, too. They are comfy both ways for me!

It does sleep well on the side ....That was the only way I could sleep,with my regular pillows....The thicker part goes under the neck to support right.I can lay on my back with good support also.......It seems to hold up pretty well Good luck Dean

Yes, it does. It really helped alleviate the pain in my neck by not sleeping on my side all night.

Yes, it works for me who has a cervical spine problem. I find I have to lie with my head higher up on the pillow than normally in order to support my shoulders. I do find that readjusting the pillow is a little awkward for me due to the weight of the pillow versus a regular lighter weight foam pillow. I would purchase it again.

Is this a good pillow for someone with neck, shoulder pain, is it supportive enough?
