Which is best for sleeping on your back? Specifically, the loft height is where I am having trouble.

My husband is a back sleeper and he prefers the high loft. I really think it depends on your size. The high loft is too high for my small frame in any sleeping position, but the low loft is perfect.

I think the low loft is best for sleeping on your back. That's what I have and love it for that, it is too low for side sleeping though. Doesn't seem like your problem though! ;)

I would say no to stomach sleepers. It is high loft, but squishes down part way for back sleeping and good for side sleeping. So thin - no, soft - yes, plush - partially, firm - partially - high loft - yes

I purchased high-loft firm because I am a side sleeper & have arthritis in my neck. I would guess the pillow is abour 7" high in middle, tapering to 4-5" near the edges. It has been great for my neck stiffness. If you're not used to firm pillows it may be a big adjustment for you.

I have three of these mattresses. Each are on slats. You can use box springs just fine. As to advice on which one, sorry, but I'm not a fan of box springs so I can't help there.

I normally slept with two pillows and ordered the Z by Malouf 100% Natural Talalay Latex Zoned Pillow, QUEEN-HIGH LOFT-PLUSH. I found that I only need that pillow to sleep with now. I needed the extra height for GERD, but like I said have found this one to be sufficient. Hope this helps.

I have, but it's kind of heavy for me. I'll usually lay in bed, position it on my lower back and press against the bed. It works much better when you have help.

I would go with the soft pillow. If you like a higher support for your neck, choose the high loft. The low loft was perfect for me, but I have a memory foam bed which allows my shoulder to "sink" into the mattress, otherwise it would be too short for any support. So not knowing much about you, I would guess you would like a high loft, soft pillow....

Hi Pat! That is what we did ! We are thinking that we need to make our bed softer (we have that option as we went with the zippered option.) we chose the level 8 but as we are side sleepers, might like more loft... Anyway, you may certainly use your box springs. Regards-B&B.; P.S. This is a great mattress.

I got rid of mine... I'm 6'4" I loved this pillow for sleeping on my side but on my back it caused my neck to hurt as it was too tall. I bought the largest size and I probably should have bought one size smaller as I could have gone either way based on how they tell you to measure.

Not sure about the "horrible if you sleep on your back". We've had it for nearly a year now and still LOVE it. I have never been able to sleep on my back, but can now. In fact on several occassions I've woken up in the exact same position on my back that I went to sleep in. How's that for good night sleep, didn't even move!The key for back sleeping is use an ultra fluffy and thin pillow and just one right above your shoulders. Yes we would strongly recommend this bed still. I am pretty surprised by some of the complaints I'm now seeing.

Measured pillow height at 7-8 inches. Not sure what the "low loft" would measure at if applicable. I found the pillow very comfortable, it has reduce a pain I had in my neck. I have used this for around three or four weeks and am very pleased with it. I believe it was advertised as a high loft pillow good for people who sleep on their sides.

The back height is 12". You can see how uncomfortable laying/sleeping on this the way the woman in the picture is doing would be. In fact, my head is rarely at the top back of the wedge. My head usually slips to about 4-6" down from the back, so I get less height, which is acceptable to me, but if you want the full 12", be aware that it requires some effort to stay in that position.

I have used both. I purchased the 12" first but found the incline too much. I slid down when using it all night as well as when using it for TV, etc. I returned the 12" and purchased the 7.5" which is perfect for me. I do not slide when sleeping on it, with or without a pillow, and the support is great for my neck and back. I do add a couple pillows when I want to sit up more and maintain good neck position. For me, the 7.5" is a better fit and more versatile. It is also easier to set aside or store when I am not using it. Also, if you are unsure about which is right for you, the return shipping is free and I received a full refund even after using the product. If you do return a wedge, I recommend building or buying a large box as they are shipped highly compressed in a plastic wrap.

I have both of the products. I haven't used them at the same time but use them both. I use the neck support at night while lying on the bed for about 15 minutes to a half hour. I really like it. The back magic adjusts my spine some what but the neck support really helps release the tension in my neck and shoulders.

I also am I side sleeper. I am not sure that this is the best option. I am continuing to look for a better option.

It's good for both. On a firm bed, this gives the cushioning to feel cradled while on your back, and if you sleep on your side, it improves the comfort of side sleeping. A softer mattress is typically better for side sleeping, so if your mattress is really firm and you side sleep, you might want an even thicker topper to soften it. 4" could do it.
