My girlfriend says its uncomfortable side sleeping on this wedge. She also can't sleep on her stomach long without her back starting to hurt.

I am male so the scenario doesn't really apply to me...But I didn't feel it was not unconfortable and I do sleep side ways most of the time.

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 do not but as a woman who has been pregnant twice I think it would benefit you. Also slightly elevated your lower legs when you sleep You will literally take a load off :))

The wedge is too narrow to use for pre-natal massages. I returned it. If the infant doesn't move around much I suppose it could be used to lay an infant on to sleep. If the infant fell to one side she/he could be on their face.

It's a very firm pillow, which is why I did so much research to find one like it. All others I tried lost their firmness quite quickly. As far as laying on for the lower back, unless it's for exercise purpose, yes you could place it at the lower back. But other than that, I would think it would be too firm to try to sleep with, unless that is what you are looking for.

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..

maybe if you sleep flat on your back. these are pretty bulky. no go if you want to sleep on your side or stomach.

No this will not make you sleep on your side. you need a type of wedge pillow to be placed behind you

I never sleep with anything under my head when on my back. It's very bad for your neck and spine. I would suggest getting a neck support type pillow and using that to cradle your neck while sleeping. You will be amazed at how much better you will feel in the morning. I got these pillows to basically fill space on the king sized bed we bought. They make good "body pillows" also, but may be too firm for a back sleeper. Just my opinion. Hope this helped.

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.

Yes if you put it between you legs and under your belly you don't move much. Also if you put it under the curve of your back and under your hips it helps. Even if you roll on your back onto the pillow you can still have support in a way that your hips are still tilted so your not cutting off blood supply to baby or you but still feels like your on your back.

It doesn't really work well if you're on your side. It's kind of heavy and it would need to be very tight to keep it in place. I always try propping it up against my face with a pillow but I end up on my back eventually.

I used this pillow to support my large pregnant belly. It was a great wedge for the evenings and small enough I could move it to either side needed. I did not use this pillow for hip pain.

I think so... you can check the sleep innovations site ...they do recommend this pillow for back sleepers.

I do sleep on my side but do not use an extra pillow. In my opinion you probably can.

I would be comfortable with my baby sleeping on it belly down. It has some cush but is not thick or soft enough to pose a health risk in my unexpert opinion.

It would be possible if you used other pillows for positioning yourself in bed to relieve any additional pressure points if you must sleep on your back. Otherwise, you might try positioning with regular pillows on your side or stomach. A friend used one to sleep, but he used a recliner which worked really well. A lot of it has to do with what type of bed you have to sleep on.
