How is this for someone who sleeps on their stomach? Also for sleep with one side on a full body pillow, essentially partly stomach, partly side?

I don't see a problem with any position on this foam mattress, however it is rather firm. The memory foam is not as supple as the foam topper I purchased at Costco for my old mattress. Be sure as it is rather difficult to return.

I'm a side sleeper. Very comfortable! I can't speak to trying it on your stomach. I have never done that.

It's shaped. However, it gives with pressure, such as your face against your pillow. I sometimes sleep on my stomach and I haven't had a problem with mask.

These do not lay out completely horizontal. They are contoured for your body, but only comfortable on your back. I have slept in mine on my side, and that wasn't bad at all, but it wouldn't be possible to sleep on your stomach on these, well, at least not comfortably.

I sleep either on my side or back and have found this mask to the most comfortable I've ever tried. The velcro fastens more toward the right side of your head than the back anyway, so that is where you would feel a very slight bit of extra fabric if you are sensitive to that sort of thing. Personally I've not had a bit of trouble in any sleeping position.

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 sleep on my side mostly, this pillow doesn't offer as much support as I'd like. Face down, or back sleepers would benefit more.

I also sleep on my side and back and this pillow has been the most comfortable in any position! I also use cotton pillow cases and as "doca rescue" mentioned, any fabric pillow case would work, whatever is most comfortable for you! This pillow is definitely worth the price!

On back side. You can only sleep on one side. One side has padding. I have mine in a cover then pillow case. You don't notice it

I sleep on my side most of the time. One of the things I like about this pillow is that all of the little kernals of \pearlite or whatever it is inside generally hold on to one another. If I scrunch up the pillow so that it supports my head in a higher position, it does that well. It is not foamy or bouncy, so it allows me to lie still and thus helps itself hold the height I wanted it at. Later, if I want it higher or lower, I can almost always get it exactly where I want it.I have even used it to support my head while sitting on the airplane for long periods of time. It can also be smushed down if you want to lie on your back with your head only surrounded and in one place. Great pillow. I sleep on my side most of the time.

I sort of rotate front back and sides from time to time. The only thing I notice when I sleep on my stomach is that since the foam takes a certain weight to compress it doesn't give as much to my arms as the rest of my body. In other words my arms seem to more or less float while my torso sinks further. So if you're splayed out while you're sleeping you may end up with sore shoulders or something.

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

I normally sleep on my back, but periodically either turn my head, or turn onto my side, and the pillow still feels great. Because the buckwheat hulls are kind of slippery, you can make a sort of "nest" or crease in the pillow as needed without a problem. The really nice thing I've found is that, even when sleeping on your side, the hulls are firm enough that you are lying comfortably on TOP of the pillow, rather than IN the pillow--no puffing up around your nose to restrict your breathing or worsen your allergies.

Hmm. I'm a stomach sleeper but I use a small cylindrical neck pillow. I always have used a neck pillow. Everyone else in my family uses this pillow and loves it.

I sleep on both of my sides and have to sleep with 2 wedges and a pillow. No problem at all. They just give with my body. I love them.

Hi Sarah. What you see in the picture is the side that you're supposed to sleep on; it's the only option. The other side has a hard plastic spout, which, I suspect, wouldn't be very comfortable to rest one's ear on. Again, that's really the only drawback of the pillow; the inability to flip it over in the middle of the night.

I also sleep on my side but have used this pillow only 5 or 6 times. So far it has been fine... no problem with my ear. Hope that helps.

When I sleep on my stomach, I turn my face to the side, so I can breathe properly. With this on, your face would probably be forced straight into the pillow or mattress. It would probably work, but be very uncomfortable.
