can the bodyx back brace be worn for sleeping?

Hi Ramona - I see no reason why it cannot be worn while sleeping but I cannot speak to its comfort while doing so.

Yes, but you may find it uncomfortable. The brace has hard plastic on the sides. You may be able to pad it though. I have not tried it sleeping.

You wouldn't be comfortable because of the hard plastic pieces on the back. Sometimes they bother me when I am reclining. Give it a try and find out for yourself how it feels.

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.

It is as unnoticeable as a back brace can get. If you wear a tight shirt sure it will be noticeable, but a regular fit shirt or work shirt this brace will not be noticeable.

There is a brace from the frame, but it does not touch your back. You lay flat on a canvas type bed with coil springs to the side frame-kind of like a hammock but very comfortable. I added used the enclosed brackets for folding and storing the beds to attach them together to make a queen size (purchased 2) and then placed a queen egg crate foam from Walmart over it and made it up just like a queen size bed for 2 people. Our company was very pleased. Both are seniors and said they slept very well. Good Luck.

More or less. I wear two braces, I put them both on each night. You can get used to it. The alternative is not having any brace at all, and suffering pain.

I imagine you shouldn't wear it any longer than a *normal* brace. Most of the packages say not to wear for longer than 2-3 hours, and not to wear them to sleep. When the heat/cold disappates on this one, if I still need the support from a brace, I switch to my regular one.

My daughter wears the brace all day especially during Track Meet days. She has not expressed any discomfort from extended use. She doesn't sleep in it.

This item can help your posture while sleeping. It helps conform the neck for proper cervical alignment when worn.

You can strap it for an hour and or so. I would not recommend it for a sleep in

I wear the brace at night and on a daily basis. There isn't much to this brace, so I personally would not recommend it for use during a workout, although i suppose that very much depends on the kind of workout you wish to do. The metal bar that the brace is made up of would make it very difficult to grasp handles or weights.

It can be used for either hand. Best brace I have found. It is very comfortable, especially for sleeping as there are no sharp plastic edges that scratch bare skin.

No. We sleep with our upper bodies bare. I put a pajama top on backwards with the opening at the back so my back is exposed to the sheet. You need to touch the sheet.

Yes. TheHeasRight provides ideal midline support ( head aligned to body) for side sleeping on either side, while it provides spinal corrective support in back sleeping position.

I'm a back sleeper anyway so this is very good for stabilizing support of my head in a good position. Comfortable feeling and still possible to side sleep if desired. However, your lifetime sleeping habits may not change "overnight" due to a pillow's shape!

Yes, you may wear it comfortably under your clothes with very little discomfort while walking or sitting on a chair. However, It does put in some limitations when you bend all the way down which is kind of normal with any type of solid back brace.

This brace is not comfortable to sit down with, but it is the best I have found for back support while lifting and carrying heavy things.

not uncomfortable at all. I sleep on my back and it's like I'm not wearing a mask at all!
