Can this work for a back sleeper as well as side?

My husband uses it during side sleep. While it can be used for someone on their back, it's not ideal. So the answer is yes, with limitations.

They are sized to fit between the knees if you sleep on your side. If you are sleeping on your back and want your knees elevated a bit, one of them is not wide enough to fit behind both knees. I guess you could get 2 of the pillows...one to fit behind each knee.

Yes. I am a side sleeper and it works well because it is firm and keeps your neck supported. My pillow is about 4 years old and rather stretched out, but I just crunch it in a bit and it holds just fine. I think I stretched it by putting it in a suitcase.

I'm not definite because my sons a back and side sleeper, but I assume it would work. You could even hook the snuza to the babies side of his diaper.

I sleep on my side and it works with no problems. I have also found I wake up with less aches than on a conventional mattress.

This is what we did it will work fine if your a back or side sleeper, just tuck the extra into the cut out slot and you should be good

I sleep on my side often and angle the pillow for my head to be kind of in the middle. Make sense? It works for me.

For me this pillow is huge. I am a back sleeper and could not use it at night, so thick this pillow is. It provides firm support that might be good for a side sleeper. I use it for support when I watch TV on my couch.

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.

You use the "sides" for sleeping on your side. I can only do this sparingly given prior neck surgery, but it seems to work for my short times

Yes, I usually sleep on my side and it is comfortable enough. Now, I only use this one or two nights a week so I can't speak for using this as a main bed.

Yes you can sleep on your side, but I found that using a regular pillow on top of the wedge gives more support for your neck when sleeping on your side. It is also nice when watching tv in bed, it elevates you just right . I have acid reflux and this wedge is great.

If the person is strictly a back sleeper I would think they might work... if not then no as they are too bulky...

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 think it does a good job for sleeping on ones side. My wife sleeps on her side nightly and has not had one issue with it.

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.

I am also a back sleeper and love it for my knees. I also noticed that Carex has a memory foam knee pillow that looks like it is for side sleeper, you might check that out too.

Not at all. To be honest, i am not even too sure it is good for a side sleeper.
