Which is best for sleeping on your back? Specifically, the loft height is where I am having trouble.

My husband is a back sleeper and he prefers the high loft. I really think it depends on your size. The high loft is too high for my small frame in any sleeping position, but the low loft is perfect.

I think the low loft is best for sleeping on your back. That's what I have and love it for that, it is too low for side sleeping though. Doesn't seem like your problem though! ;)

I have two queen size beds. On is the tradional metal frame with a bar in the middle. And I have a wooden bred frame with a bar in the middle also. I have added a bunny board to each bed. On bed has a box springs as well and one doesn't. It works either way and the back support feeling is great. I have no additional bars or internal legs in the frame. If you do it's fine also. The addition and use of the bunny board is the best thing I could do since I have had back surgery and still have a very bad back. It works great and I get a good nights sleep. Go for the bunky bed boards!!

I would go with high loft plush personally. The low loft is only about 5-6 inches. However, you may prefer a thinner pillow. If so, I would recommend low loft firm. The low loft plush is just simply to soft and thin. I bought a low loft plush for my daughter-in-law, she did not like it... To thin and to soft. Hope my rambling helps your decision.

I would highly recommend the Lucid memory foam mattress for both people who sleep on their back and on their side. If you sleep on your side, you would want a softer mattress such as a plush or gel memory foam mattress. In addition to a soft mattress, I would also suggest a leg spacer to reduce pressure on the hips.

I can't see too many people liking the low loft to be honest. Firm and high loft gives the best support IMO.

I am 5'8' and I was not able to get use to it because it wasn't soft enough and I thought it was too high and uncomfortable. What worked best for me was when I raised my bed. I put a block of wood on each of the back legs so the whole bed was tilted and then I used my regular pillow.

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.

It's good for both. On a firm bed, this gives the cushioning to feel cradled while on your back, and if you sleep on your side, it improves the comfort of side sleeping. A softer mattress is typically better for side sleeping, so if your mattress is really firm and you side sleep, you might want an even thicker topper to soften it. 4" could do it.

Not sure about the "horrible if you sleep on your back". We've had it for nearly a year now and still LOVE it. I have never been able to sleep on my back, but can now. In fact on several occassions I've woken up in the exact same position on my back that I went to sleep in. How's that for good night sleep, didn't even move!The key for back sleeping is use an ultra fluffy and thin pillow and just one right above your shoulders. Yes we would strongly recommend this bed still. I am pretty surprised by some of the complaints I'm now seeing.

The high loft in the center is approximately 6" and tapers down to the edges. The low loft is half that at 3" and tapers down to about an inch and a half. I use the high loft to prop up in bed and as a side sleep pillow. If you're back sleeper the low loft might be more comfortable. Depending on your frame and shoulder width. Hope that helps!

I sleep on my back or side so I'm unable to give you any guidance. I really like this pillow and don't know why it wouldn't be comfortable for those sleeping on their stomach too.

I have both of the products. I haven't used them at the same time but use them both. I use the neck support at night while lying on the bed for about 15 minutes to a half hour. I really like it. The back magic adjusts my spine some what but the neck support really helps release the tension in my neck and shoulders.

YES, I had the same problem. Problem solved! It's about an inch or two, but makes a world of difference. One of my best investments. Just make sure to fluff and flip when you change sheets, to keep the loft!

Hi- I love the pillow however if there is a choice I would have gone to the higher pillow as sometimes I find myself crunching up the end for more height- as I don't have chronic shoulder/neck pain I am keeping pillow. love it just wish I had opted for higher loft. hope this helps

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.

Your loft might not be sitting level. Also, some silicone lube might help though make it is food grade.

I am also a side sleeper, 5'7" medium build, female... I found the HIGH loft to be too flat!! I cant imagine how thin the low loft would be.
