How use for side sleeping? Some say they turn it long ways &amp; put head in hole. Others say keep it side ways &amp; only sleep on edge/don't use hole?

Matter of preference. Experiment and find your comfort zone. Personally, when on my side, my head is on the edge of pillow... not in the hole.

I sleep on my side most of the time. One of the things I like about this pillow is that all of the little kernals of \pearlite or whatever it is inside generally hold on to one another. If I scrunch up the pillow so that it supports my head in a higher position, it does that well. It is not foamy or bouncy, so it allows me to lie still and thus helps itself hold the height I wanted it at. Later, if I want it higher or lower, I can almost always get it exactly where I want it.I have even used it to support my head while sitting on the airplane for long periods of time. It can also be smushed down if you want to lie on your back with your head only surrounded and in one place. Great pillow. I sleep on my side most of the time.

I don't recommend sleeping this way with this sort of pillow. I used to sleep like that until I started sleeping with buckwheat pillows. Once you get used to them they support you enough that you don't need to sleep like that.

Yes, I think it is okay for side sleeping. However, an elbow or hip or something might contact through the pad to the ground depending on your overall weight and weight distribution. I weigh over 200 lbs, but find I can sleep on my side okay.

I used mine to sleep when I had a terrible hotel bed. It helped me get to sleep, but I move around too much when I sleep and found it got in the way. But if you sleep in one position, then you might like it.

My wife uses this mostly now. She is a side sleeper. She uses this every night and it helps her fall asleep pretty quickly. For her, it blocks everything. I have a slightly crooked nose, so I get very little light in through the nose area. I also don't have issues falling asleep. She first laughed it it when I got it but now uses it every night.

Yes, Ma'am. I'm a side and back sleeper and I love this mask. The key is not to adjust the strap too tight and remove the earplugs from the holder. I've had mine for week now and sleep deeper and through the night. We went up north to our cabin a few days and I made sure I brought that mask with me.

This is more than a "low" pillow...this is nearly flat. If youre looking for minimal support for head while you sleep on your side it may work. It also bunches together well if you need to bulk up a little support..

I am a side sleeper, but when I travel I am usually sitting up. I tried the pillow side lying, and if you put your arm under your head it works.

I really like this futon, but it can be rather hard. I think, for someone who sleeps on their side it would not be that comfortable. I don't know if I have ever slept on a futon which would be comfortable for a side-sleeper! Good Luck!

I put the straps over my ears, which has the side benefit of quieting sound that your ears would otherwise capture. I normally sleep on my side and find that it works fine, but it probably depends on what sort of pillow arrangement you use.

I have to say, I often find their heads tilted to the side. I usually roll a blanket and put it on the side of their heads that they tend to sleep on (have twins). For my 3 year old it seems to work better.

Interesting you say that. I too used to have a sore ear from sleeping on my side, but I haven't since I got the pillow. Not sure if that's the reason or not, but it hasn't bothered me in a while. Wish I could be more helpful and assure you 100% but it makes sense, as the pillow is constantly conforming to your head as you turn.

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.

Cuddling isn't as comfortable as it used to be. But my wife and I wanted the split bed so we could sleep at different levels. I sleep at an higher slope which helps stop me from snoring.There are a couple or options to help keep the beds together. 1) Don't install the casters and put rubber cups under the legs2) Buy the bed straps accessory (L&P; Code: 4B1792) they attach two bases together3) Attach the bed frames to a headboard or a piece of woodWe did 1) and 3) but would have done option 2) if we weren't attaching the bed to a headboard

Nadine , This pillow will not make you sleep on your side . It is really helpful with the c-pap mask on , but , otherwise , it will not be beneficial to you for side sleeping . Good Luck .
