Can this pillow be used for stomach sleepers? I sleep in all positions and want to be sure it will work for not only side and back, but stomach too.

I used to be a stomach sleeper. I had all kinds of neck problems, which carried on to back and shoulder problems. Doctors told me it was the stomach sleeping that was the main cause of all this. I had to retrain myself to stop the stomach sleeping, and things are now MUCH better. I wouldn't think this pillow would be good for a stomach sleeper, but each individual has his/her own preferences, so all I can say is try it and see.

for stomach you need to get one of the pillows with a hole in the center - so I would advise it for you - ;)

Hi, I've no idea. I tried this pillow and it is not for me. It is too firm and lumpy and the bamboo cover is rough to the touch. Someone suggested I needed to fluff it in the dryer but that was not the problem. This pillow might work for a back sleeper but for side sleeping I found it to be a disaster.

Yes it should work for a stomach sleeper...but as I said in my review its quite a firm/hard pillow, I'm a side sleeper and usually have my arm under the pillow. I had to remove the 3/4" foam piece from the pillow to make it lower. I am finding the pillow is getting softer the more I use it or I getting use to the pillow??? I bought mine from a CPAP supply store and they have a no return policy.... I not sure what Amazon's policy is on returns..... But basically I personally WOULD NOT BUY ANOTHER ONE. You may find it the greats thing since sliced bread.... I can still get my mask to leak as I must move around a lot while sleeping.

I don't have the experience myself with CPAP stomach sleeper, but I know 2 different people that do and they love this pillow. I hope that helps you. This pillow forms around you no matter how you lay.

Poofy, it's not. It's a very hard and heavy pillow and about 10 inches thick. Personally, it was too hard for me, Pillow just wouldn't compress that much. If you're a back sleeper, it should work just fine.

As long as you get used to the crunching sound it makes whenever you move, it works for everyone. And really, once you make a 'groove' for your neck and get settled, there's no more noise. Granted, it's not as squishy as a regular pillow, but I sleep on my side, stomach and back and it works great. I regularly sleep on my side w/ me head on my arm, and this is probably as soft as my arm (and if I lay on this instead, my arm doesn't fall asleep). DH has had neck problems forever - we even make room in the suitcase for this thing - it's the best way to sleep.

I use this pillow constantly but every persons back issues are unique. I tend to sleep in a somewhat upright /sleeping position and do not use this item that way very often but sometimes the pillows in hotels are inadequate and it certainly helps when that is the case. But the pillow in full inflation is only about 3/4 of an inch thick, maybe an inch tops. Also the surface is a touch smooth. I would be sure to put a piece of cloth over it if sleeping on it that way. And the thickness may not be enough for your particular needs.

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

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 .

When I sleep on my stomach, I turn my face to the side, so I can breathe properly. With this on, your face would probably be forced straight into the pillow or mattress. It would probably work, but be very uncomfortable.

This and the Z pillow are the best I've ever purchase. Back sleepers might need a thin pillow underneath depends totally on you. I have this pillow on one side of bed and Z lavender pillow on other side. The Z pillow works great by itself when I sleep on my back or side. I purchased coconut, mint and lavender oils to rub in to pillow to recharge the scent. Either or both pillows work. If you only get one I'd say the Z pillow if back sleeping is what you do. I'm mostly side. Both have about same support Z pillow is thicker. I plan on buying 1 of each in near future.hope this helps.

I am also a side sleeper. These pillows are wonderful, they support your neck and back. First pillow I have owned that does everything its supposed to.

This would not be good for tummy sleepers. I'm guessing you would have a lot of false alarms because it wouldn't be able to sufficiently detect your babies movement from breathing if it's pressed up against the mattress. It still works for my daughter who likes to sleep on her side though.

I use this half pillow under my knees when I sleep because I sleep on my back. It holds up better than a pillow though, so I would think that it would work best under your neck/head as a side sleeper.

I am a stomach sleeper normally. With this mattress I became a back sleeper. I have noticed that side or stomach sleeping on this does cause some midback tightness and soreness in the morning but goes away usually by the time I get out of the shower. I still sleep really well.

It does for me. Also, gives good support if you are a side sleeper. I use it full size. Did not remove one of the sections. Takes a day or two to get use to compared to other types of pillows. I am so glad I got it.

It works very well for side sleepers, just be sure to get the right size pillow.
