Does anyone using this wedge sleep on their side, and is it a problem?

I sleep on my side. I use another small pillow on top. It is comfortable and I have not had any problems.

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.

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.

It takes a little getting used to, but I sleep on my side all the time with it. It has enough "give" so it's pretty comfortable.

I sleep on my side, and I have no problem. I have been sleeping with these every night for years and they are the greatest! Sometimes when i wake up it's off but they are perfect for helping you fall asleep. I recommend this product.

I'm a side sleeper as well and have been quite comfortable. With a really good padded mattress cover I think you'll enjoy a good nights' rest on your side, back or stomach.

Hi Kiki, regarding this pillow, I really like it a lot. As a person who sleeps on their back, it's very comfortable and really helps my chronic neck pain but using this pillow for sleeping on my side doesn't work at all for me. It's not comfortable and my face does slide back into the center of the pillow. I hope this helps you. Sandy

My girlfriend says its uncomfortable side sleeping on this wedge. She also can't sleep on her stomach long without her back starting to hurt.

That was my first thought when I saw it, but I'm about 99% sure the ridge side is up. I've bee sleeping on my pillow for a few weeks now, and still like it, my only complaint if I need to have one is my whole body is a little lower in the bed, so my feet are at the very bottom of the bed. I guess I don't sleep high enough on the pillow. But I have not had any acid reflux.

I sleep on my side most of the time. My mattress was new, but too firm and a bit warm. This makes it very nice.

The wedge is fairly firm. It is very difficult to stay on it because of the firmness. I slide down all night.

No, it keeps it's shape well through the night. It is a firm pillow, maybe too firm for some people. I personally like side sleeping with it though I tend to back sleep most of the time.

I use it for sleeping on my side. I guess you need to decide how high you are comfortable having your head when you lie on your back.

I am a side sleeper (at the beginning) and I like the comfort with two pillows the keep the spine straight. The spouse starts on her back with an orthopedic pillow and never complains.

Oh, I am a side sleeper too. It can be done to sleep on the wedge on your side but only in short segments. I found it too uncomfortable for lengthy periods and you have to experiment to find the OK bend point. I bought the wedge to use following surgery and later used it during brief periods of acid reflux or bad colds w/ sinus drainage. I have discovered that on my back on the wedge I am somewhat more comfortable with a small pillow or rolled up towel under my lower neck & tops of my shoulders. I hope this helps.

Yes, you need to sleep on one side or the other because of the bar. It works ok for me since the other side is for cloths bag, shoes etc.

I looked at this sleeper at a store today because I was concerned about the reports of flat head and neck problems. It looks like it would be very simple to add your own support and cushioning if this were a worry. Has anyone done this with success who could advise me?

It's designed to sit on (and it is quite high), not sleep on unless you want a high pillow for your head. If you have a low back problem, it is usually suggested that you sleep on your side with a pillow between your knees (to keep your lower back from twisting). Good Luck.

There is a small indent that occurs after sleeping on the pillow for a few weeks, although I found this to be more comfortable as the divot fit where I layed most often. The pillow is a little firm a first so the slight softening that happens in the center (or where you most lay) was welcomed. I'm approx. (5'4" and 125-130lbs) and I usually sleep on my sides, the pillow is wide enough for me to rest my arms near my head or chest without falling off. I also use a regular pillow ontop of this wedge one to provide some extra soft head support

If you are laying on your side reading. The wedge is much smaller than expected. I use it under my preg belly or between my legs when I am sleeping. It is much to small to use to prop yourself up in bed.
