Is the chiroflow pillow best for back sleepers or side sleepers?

It works for either and that is why I love it so well! I need a pillow that allows to me sleep in both positions and this one does!

Since it adjusts to your body it works either way you sleep. The firmness depends on how much water you put in it and can be adjusted at any time. Just be sure to get all the air out just as in the days of water beds. I've read some say that the water sloshes but I've never had that issue. My daughter is about to get one also.

Perhaps it is how you are using your OPTP pillow and regular pillow. I found that if I just used the OPTP pillow - slept on my back on side with it under my neck - AND a very soft, almost flat down or similar pillow for my head that my back didn't hurt. it takes a few nights to get used to the OPTP pillow.

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.

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.

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!

I'm very comfortable with this pillow. I'm a side sleeper and angle it so my face is on one end and the other end is supporting my back. More airflow, less body heat that way.

I'm a back sleeper anyway so this is very good for stabilizing support of my head in a good position. Comfortable feeling and still possible to side sleep if desired. However, your lifetime sleeping habits may not change "overnight" due to a pillow's shape!

Works for me! I definitely recommend this brand & type of wedge pillow. I bought the down alternative wedge pillow (no feathers). Besides watching TV from bed occasionally, I am a side sleeper, so along with the wedge, I use a softer King size pillow or body size pillow in front of it. I would say it would not be comfortable by itself unless you sleep on your back & like a firmer pillow. This is not a pillow you sink your head into. I purchased wedge pillow cases w/velcro fasteners that definitely shape the pillow into a firmer wedge. I suggest the covers to protect the pillow and keep the pillow shape from getting sloppy. I too used to sleep with 2 pillows to prop my head up, for sleep apnea & sinus issues, but inevitably the pillows would slide or loose their shape. This wedge pillow has been my best solution yet. I suggest contacting Downlite site(I believe they make these pillows) customer service to see if they have the cases available. I purchased them last year, but haven't seen them listed on their site again.

As long as you get used to the crunching sound it makes whenever you move, it works for everyone. And really, once you make a 'groove' for your neck and get settled, there's no more noise. Granted, it's not as squishy as a regular pillow, but I sleep on my side, stomach and back and it works great. I regularly sleep on my side w/ me head on my arm, and this is probably as soft as my arm (and if I lay on this instead, my arm doesn't fall asleep). DH has had neck problems forever - we even make room in the suitcase for this thing - it's the best way to sleep.

I use these pillows for side sleeping and back sleeping, too. They are comfy both ways for me!

Yes, it will still work. You might not be as comfortable but the important thing is to keep pressure off your sore and this should still work for what you need it to do. My dad, who used this item, sleeps on his back but based on how it looks, I think it should still work for side sleepers.

Hi Marilyn, this pillow is designed for great sleep on your back or side. The memory foam forms comfortably to your sleep position.

I get the most pain relief (cervical herniated discs) if I first lay on my back, but always sleep on my side through the night and have found this pillow to be very comfortable. It's a bit more firm than what I always had before, but I've slept really well on this one and love it.

I am also a back sleeper and love it for my knees. I also noticed that Carex has a memory foam knee pillow that looks like it is for side sleeper, you might check that out too.

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.

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

I sleep on my side with this pillow constantly. I found it worked best if I put my hip right where the wedge starts and then my head is up at the very top. It helps keep me from sliding down and isn't uncomfortable at all. Both my sons (5 & 7 yrs) use this pillow when they have post nasal issues and they can sleep on their sides with it as well.
