I never use it while lying down, I guess it depends on how flexible your body is. Your bottom would be lifted up- as if you had tucked two pillows under your bottom. It is very comfortable while sitting though.

I haven't tried it lying down. As Roxy answered, your bottom wouldn't be aligned with the rest of your back. There isn't much "give" to it, so that could be uncomfortable. It might help you with sitting, though. It takes some getting used to. Best wishes for complete recovery.

It would be possible if you used other pillows for positioning yourself in bed to relieve any additional pressure points if you must sleep on your back. Otherwise, you might try positioning with regular pillows on your side or stomach. A friend used one to sleep, but he used a recliner which worked really well. A lot of it has to do with what type of bed you have to sleep on.

Yes, the padded cover over the top will allow you to position it under the bod comfortably. If you intend to lie on it more than 30 min. I would place a thin blanket between you and the heating pad. Remember, no auto shutoff so keep the setting low if you think you could fall asleep!

I wouldn't feel comfortable sleeping in it for any long duration. It was nice for a few nights, but not the support I personally look for in a permanent bed.

I find that positioning is critical to wearing time. I have at times been able to wear 5-6 hours and removing only when a need to urinate, and immediately remount. If not positioned correctly I may get only an hour or so before pain requires a remount. I've not been able to identify the precise position need to avoid pain. I dont use the device at night partially as a means to avoid bruising.

Thanks for your help! I used this for the first time yesterday. May have over done it by staying on at easy leavel about 5 minutes. My legs are sore today :). But I do feel different. I have high hopes with this!

I use it mostly sitting up. I really think it will do the trick for you. Plus, when you can recline it is very comfortable. Hope this helps and good luck with healing process.

I would say yes. It will help you from being as sore. You can take during or after your cycle.

I bought this several months back... I like the tank, but everything thing else I don't really use. I take an enema about twice a month and I find it much easier to lay fetal position on my left side in the tub. I find laying on my back uncomfortable.

Recently, after taking a tumble that injured quite a few muscles, I have been using them every evening to get the muscles to relax enough to allow me to sleep. The accident happened several months ago before summer started and none of them is giving up after dozens of reheatings. If you find one of your is crystallized after cooking it down, set it aside and when you cook the others back down again. add it to the lot and it will be as new. I have no complaints with these little dandies. If there was something I might have been unsure of, this ongoing use is removing any uncertainty. Feels so good!

I sleep on my stomach or side and I can safely say this is the most comfortable mattress I have ever owned. I wouldn't think your brother would have any problems. If it didn't turn out to be a comfortable solution, Tuft & Needle would probably pay for return shipping and refund your order (but I'd email their customer service just to check). They're quick to respond to emails and show a real dedication to ensuring their customers are happy.

for most cases basically overnight or at longest one to two days. Apply and then cover with lightgauze bandage to protect clothing or bed sheets. Reapply next day. Great for bringing a boil to rupture and drain or for drawing an infected splinter to the top of the skin.

Can't say I've ever tried doing that with my HoMedics Massager, but I think it probably can be done. I don't believe there's anything that forces the back of the chair to stay in an upright position, so you could probably lay it flat and turn it on while laying in a hospital bed.

I do lay back on my heating pad. Be sure to keep it on a lower setting. Pressure on the pad's heating elements can cause burns. If you are just resting back on it there would not be the same pressure as actually laying on it. My preteen granddaughter had really bad back pain last weekend and used the heating pad behind her as she sat with strict instructions not to go above the warm or low setting. Because of the very real potential for burns if the setting is too high, the company must advise not to lay on the heating pad. Use common sense and pay attention to when it feels too hot.

Yes you can lay down, but your bottom will be much lower that your knees and you have th option to use the back rest adjuster bar to go slightly vertical, but I do not think that is what you want.

Hi Mary. Well, I bought two mattresses, a full and a queen sizes.Both of them, have two layers. The top one that is the side you lay down is about 2" of memory foam. And 8" Of very dense foam. Believe me, I have chronic back pain and since I started to use this kind of mattresses 2 months ago, I have less soreness in my lower back. It's incredibly the comfort and feeling when I sleep on it. One tip: once you unwrapp the mattress, place it in the bed's frame. To make the shape and contour more exact and precise to the mattress.If you decide to buy it, enjoy it. Hi Mary. Well, I bought two mattresses, a full and a queen sizes.Both of them, have two layers.
