I use two pillows to prop up when I sleep---can this be used to sleep on??

I have had no problems using it to prop up my upper back and shoulders while sleeping. It has held its shape and firmness quite well.

Works for me! I definitely recommend this brand & type of wedge pillow. I bought the down alternative wedge pillow (no feathers). Besides watching TV from bed occasionally, I am a side sleeper, so along with the wedge, I use a softer King size pillow or body size pillow in front of it. I would say it would not be comfortable by itself unless you sleep on your back & like a firmer pillow. This is not a pillow you sink your head into. I purchased wedge pillow cases w/velcro fasteners that definitely shape the pillow into a firmer wedge. I suggest the covers to protect the pillow and keep the pillow shape from getting sloppy. I too used to sleep with 2 pillows to prop my head up, for sleep apnea & sinus issues, but inevitably the pillows would slide or loose their shape. This wedge pillow has been my best solution yet. I suggest contacting Downlite site(I believe they make these pillows) customer service to see if they have the cases available. I purchased them last year, but haven't seen them listed on their site again.

I think it's probably too big for sleeping on but maybe if you turned it on it's side.

It can be; this pillow is a bit more stiff than the usual type of pillow so it does take some getting used to but I wouldn't go back to a regular pillow ever; I am a side sleeper and manage to sleep just fine on it; I do tuck my shoulder under it and push the pillow under my neck to cradle and support it more, but I am using it for side sleeping.

I do not think so. It isn't really a pillow---it is firm foam. My husband uses it to elevate his legs and suport knee level. But I find it too clumsy and takes too much room. I don't think it would work for pillow useage.

I sleep on both of my sides and have to sleep with 2 wedges and a pillow. No problem at all. They just give with my body. I love them.

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.

I think folding would be a no-go. You might try two in a single pillowcase (or T-shirt) that's snug enough to keep them atop one another.

I dont suggest you use it as a pillow. I sometimes use it as a pillow when my kid rotate in the bed and I have to rotate as well. In the morning I will feel my neck is stiff and hurt

If you like a really small pillow. I use it mostly in my recliner as an extra head support. It's good for airplanes too.

I have used it to sleep although it's very comfortable and supports well after the second time using it the pillow inside split in 2. I can still use it sitting upright

I think it would be too big for that. I'd check Amazon for cervical pillows first. Also it is probably too firm for comfort as it's designed for conforming to the weight of your body at the lumbar region.

No not for sleeping. You relax on it for a period of time to release tension and pain. I have fallen asleep on it but it is not a bed pillow. It is amazing though.

I use a thin pillow on top of it... it is a dense pillow. But that is because I like it a little thicker. I have slept on it for a couple months without the pillow on top....you get used to it. I like the support.

Hi Tedd I think you could fold it in half and it may work OK for you. My opinion is it would not be satisfactory. It is too short and fat for that. The way I cope with that is to mound up something underneath the pillow for more elevation. It is perfectly comfortable when it is a little soft so my head is somewhat cradled in the pillow. That is how it works for me. For back packing weight does matter. Thanks Ted

I use a thin regular pillow to support my neck. Without the pillow I found that my head leaned back a bit too far. With a thicker one it was also uncomfortable.

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.

I recommend the use of an additional pillow. The rise in the airbed is very small and does not match the height you get from a pillow. If you're accustomed to having a pillow while you sleep, you will want it. If you're used to two pillows, use two pillows.

Yes, but you have to make sure the pillow is arranged carefully so that your neck hits the correct alignment when you sleep. Using a pillow case with a design helps do this. I know how it's supposed to look when I lay down.
