What's the best pillow to buy for a side sleeper with back problems?

Similar questions: pillow buy side sleeper back problems.

Two pillows, one firm, the other super soft. I've suffered with back ache and pain for around twenty years, needless to say I've tried a variety of pillows and mattresses, and like you, I too sleep mainly on my (left) side. I've tried memory foam, high density foam, feathers, hollow fibre, cotton, man-made fibres, contoured, pillow and flat shaped pillows.

I find the scalloped, scooped or contour pillows offer little if any improvement over a regular pillow-shaped pillows. What really works for me is having two pillows. The first pillow (against the mattress) is a high density foam pillow (not memory foam as its too soft and offers too little support).

I then use a second pillow which is a good quality sterilised duck feather pillow on top of the first pillow. The first pillow raises my head, the second pillow can then be mooshed, squashed and pounded into a shape that supports the nape of my neck in a way that an ordinary can't. Hope this helps..

I've never tried this type, but looks promising and should provide lots of support.

I highly recommend this product for people who sleep on their sides and have lower back pain. Thank you for letting me test this product. " -Brenda S.

Member #3918948 "This product is very effective because it gives you support through the shoulders. It makes it less likely to wake up with neck pain if you would use 2 pillows because they don’t support your shoulders and back as the Comma Pillow does. " -Patricia H.

Member #30630399 "The Comma Pillow is an excellent product. It works much better then the other side sleeper pillows on the market due to the way it is shaped. Not only is it great for sleeping on your side in bed, but it is also wonderful for resting on the couch on your side due to the support and comfort it offers." -Mary H.

Member #39148399 "I LOVE IT, I LOVE IT...Both for sleeping on my side and for reading while lying on my back. I’ve bought probably a dozen pillows of varied shapes and sizes over the years, this is the first one to support my neck and legs so I don’t wake up stiff. Thank you.

" -Brenda E Member #30605700 "I loved this product because of my back condition. I slept with several different pillows for support; the comma pillow is the only pillow I now need at night. When sleeping on my side it supports my head and separates and cushions my legs.

When sleeping on my back I place it under my knees to ease the strain on my back. It has greatly improved the quality of my sleep." -Patricia G Member #4881 "This pillow far surpasses the body pillow I currently have. I have arthritis in my neck and I found this pillow to be supportive and comfortable.

I love the size of the pillow; it can be used to support many parts of the body at the same time. The pillow is of high quality and well worth the price. " -Dawn G Member #30681892 "I work 2 jobs, I had come home from a 14 hour day, tried the product and really fell asleep immediately.

It was so soft and cozy.My hips had been stiff and this pillow eased the strain on my upper hip.. I am a side sleeper so at times my knees, hips and ankles really suffer. Lately my right shoulder is feeling the strain of over use, (rotator Cuff). Some nights no side I a good side to sleep on, but with the pillow my right arm is gently supported and shoulder is less sore and I can sleep.

Also seems to help the carpal tunnel in that arm and hand.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
