i have a neck and brain injury. With this pillow the 2 "cradles" are for side sleepers and the roll is the only piece for lying on your back??

I bought this for my lower back problem causing Sciatica pains, difficult to move and sleep side ways. I was hoping this pillow will help in my condition. However, it does not have much to do in helping the back problem. In your case with neck and brain injury, that would be different story. I do not have same experience to guide you if it would be helpful to you or not. So, sorry.

I did not care for this pillow at all.I found it difficult to use even after several tries.

Yes, the cradles are for sleeping on your side and the neck roll is used for sleeping on your back. I'm not a doctor, so I'd advise consulting with your physician to see if this is suitable for you given your current condition.

The roll is the only part under your neck if you are a back sleeper. It only works for me when placed over a regular pillow otherwise it does not support the neck.

That's correct. Outer sections intended for side sleeping w/ body to head midline supported. Roll is for back sleep support. Check w/ your physician for appropriateness of use.

I'm sorry to hear that, but It is called a - Ergonomic Orthopedic Back Rest. Not a neck rest or support. You would have to buy a neck brace for neck support.

The queen size firm pillow helped me. I'm a side sleeper and had a pinched nerve in my neck. The pillow helped but, now one is higher than the other. I did rotate the pillows weekly. I prefer the higher pillow now.

This pillow is for side sleepers. You put the side of your face close to one of the side indentations so that your CA mask/hose is not pushed out of position by the pillow. Your shoulder fits in the long shallow indentation on the bottom.I gave mine to a friend because it is non-returnable. It was too hard and too high for me. I am a 5' 6" woman, small frame.

I think the indentation is intended more for the neck, but the pillow's surface has enough give so I've never felt my face was smashed when sleeping on my side. I can't be sure it would be adequate for your needs. Sorry I could not be more helpful.

The bottom cradles your neck. You have to purchase a special pillowcase made of the same material as the pillow. You cannot use a regular cotton pillowcase on this pillow, it will make it too hard and uncomfortable to sleep on. I recommend the Tony Little Hometics Pillow as seen on shopping channel HSN. It comes with the special pillowcase made for this pillow and you can order extra pillowcases. Homemedics pillow is the best pillow I've ever owned. Couldn't sleep without it. I Hope this helps you...

this pillow is for any type of sleepers, I own four of these , I gave my grandson one & he took it to college, I also got him another one for his bed ,when he comes home to visit during break time. I bend this pillow any way, I'm a side sleeper. I had surgery some months ago and I was able to bend it for my comfort at the time. I love it!

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.

Yes. I'm typically a side sleeper and this pillow tucks nicely between my shoulder and head and I can put my arm under my head. If I'm on my back I find myself in the same position later as the pillow holds my head in place.

No- this goes under your neck. It give support to your neck while you lay down.

I bought it because I have a tempurpedic bed and I love it but we have goose down pillows that sink to the mattress. My neck started aching after he bought those pillows probably due to lack of support. I got this pillow and i'm all better, I don't use any other pillow, also I'm a side sleeper.

In my opinion this pillow is not ideal for stomach sleepers. This pillow works really well for keeping your spine straight. I have a bad back and sleeping on your stomach is the worse thing a person can do.

Sorry LBJ, It's just a pillow. Though one side of the handle is shallower than the other, making your device sit down lower or higher...but I think that they mean it will ROLL to any angle. There is no support suspension built in or anything. If your sitting up, or at a table, use the deep side of the handle. Laying down, use the shallow side. That's about it.

I think that this pillow is okay for someone who sleeps on their back. I have only use it for one week. However, I do like the firmness of the large pillow that I bought. I think the quality is much better then the average pillow. I thinks it okay for side position sleeping as well. I do like this pillow as my main pillow head rest.

I wouldn't think so. This pillow is for stomach sleepers, to prevent neck strain. I am a side sleeper, too...and I love my memory foam type pillow. Get anything that gives you enough support that your neck is aligned with your spine. This Ikea pillow is extremely flat...almost like no pillow at all. Hope this 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.
