Is this pillow good for a back sleeper and does hold it's shape or does it clasp?

I don't what you mean by clasp. This pillow is very firm. I sleep on my side and don't see why a back sleeper would need this since its whole purpose is to provide cut out spaces so that when on your side the mask does not press against the pillow and get pushed out of place. On those occasions when I do turn on my back it seems OK. Pat

I rarely find myself on my back when I am sleeping. When I do I have problems with my cpap mask leaking which usually wakes me up. That is no fault of the pillow and others may not have that problem. I have used mine every night and so far it has held its shape really well.

The pillow holds it's shape fine. If you are a back sleeper you could really use any pillow, you don't need a special one. If you are a side sleeper this one is good though.

Great for someone who sleeps on their side. I have had mine for 4 years now and it still works Great and holds it shape. I cannot honestly say it is great for a back sleeper but when I sleep on my back it seems to work great

I think it's great for a back sleeper. It also holds its shape well. I've had mine for about 6 months now and it doesn't even show signs of wear yet.

If this is the half pillow I purchased, I tried using it and it is useless. I threw mine away. Win some, lose some.

It's slightly banana shaped. I've slept on my side & my back very comfortably. I wouldn't recommend sleeping on your stomach.

The pillow is fairly firm, but not solid and bulky. Just enough firmness to cradle your neck and head comfortably.

As a side sleeper I can say that while it is firm it contours to you so you get even support. Your shoulder and hip will sink in to it so your back actually ends up in a good position despite the fact that it feels firm. It also softens up a bit where you sleep over the first month or so but not so much that it is a valley or anything. I would actually recommend it for a side sleeper.

It is soft to medium but does not flatten out it holds it's shape very well

As someone who folds and molds my pillow into submission, I'd say it holds its shape very well. Just make sure to fluff it in the morning.

I believe it would be a good pillow to use if you have neck and shoulder pain and sleep on your side. The pillow is firm and supportive enough to keep your neck in a comfortable position. It is also flexible enough to shape to conform to individual preferences.

Hi Kiki, regarding this pillow, I really like it a lot. As a person who sleeps on their back, it's very comfortable and really helps my chronic neck pain but using this pillow for sleeping on my side doesn't work at all for me. It's not comfortable and my face does slide back into the center of the pillow. I hope this helps you. Sandy

This item can help your posture while sleeping. It helps conform the neck for proper cervical alignment when worn.

When I lay on this pillow on my back, the back of my head touches it and the back/top of my shoulders touch the bottom edge. It's too firm to allow it to also shape to my neck so my neck has no support the way I like. You can "scrunch" at it to make it better but that only works if you're awake so I often wake with a bit of a stiff neck with this pillow. I save it for support when laying on the sofa or in bed when I read or watch television.

Yes. All positions are comfortable. I was never a back sleeper but now I do with this pillow frequently.

It's comfortable. It's probably fiberfill so it's not like a latex bed pillow but looks like it will hold it's shape.

I've had it for 1 yr now and it has retained it's shape, however, it has not provided comfort for me since I purchased the pillow. I do not recommend it. Hope this helps!

It flattens out more than I would like. However, I am a sid sleeper and was having neck and back pains. Since I have been using this pillow, I have had no pain at all.

It's more comfortable than a traditional neck pillow because it doesn't wrap around the back of your neck, which means it doesn't push your head forward.

I am a side sleeper (at the beginning) and I like the comfort with two pillows the keep the spine straight. The spouse starts on her back with an orthopedic pillow and never complains.

I sleep on my side and find it a reasonably comfortable pillow. You should know it is firm, perhaps even hard in the sense that most stuffed pillows will gradually shift their stuffing, settling into the shape of your head. This one does not do that very much, it is not hard like a brick but neither does it let you sink into it very far. While I can not speak for others, I would expect that if you like a solid, slightly yielding pillow, this is for you. If your preference runs to the more squishy pillows you probably will not like it.
