Has your wedge pillow kept its shape after repeated use? Is the width sufficient to keep your arms from falling off the sides?

It's kept it's shape. I put an extra pillow on the side to keep the arms from falling off. It also helps so I can't roll off

Yes it has kept its shape. I do wish that it was a little wider as my arms tend to slip off the sides

It would work fine for a back sleeper but I tend to be a side sleeper. I only used it for a week.

Yes we have owned it 4 or 5 months. I flip it when I change the sheets. That seems to keep the shape better.

There is a small indent that occurs after sleeping on the pillow for a few weeks, although I found this to be more comfortable as the divot fit where I layed most often. The pillow is a little firm a first so the slight softening that happens in the center (or where you most lay) was welcomed. I'm approx. (5'4" and 125-130lbs) and I usually sleep on my sides, the pillow is wide enough for me to rest my arms near my head or chest without falling off. I also use a regular pillow ontop of this wedge one to provide some extra soft head support

Yes it has kept its shape. However, It is a very hard pillow, not soft like say a foam pillow, so I lay a foam pillow on top of it.I do find it comfortable to sleep on that way.

That is what I used this pillow for most of the time. I liked having the flat side against my lower leg and the round side against my top leg. The pillow stayed in place. I rested the pillow lengthwise from my knee to my ankle which gave my whole leg support. I had tried the "knee" pillow that had a Velcro strap but it did not work for me at all! The strap did NOT hold it in place when I rolled over, it was harder then I liked and it hurt my hip (I had hip replacement) as it tilted my leg down as I rested my ankle on my lower leg.Hope this helps you in making your decision.

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.

Yes. I am a side sleeper and it works well because it is firm and keeps your neck supported. My pillow is about 4 years old and rather stretched out, but I just crunch it in a bit and it holds just fine. I think I stretched it by putting it in a suitcase.

The wedge pillow is like a very firm wedge slice of a mattress. This wedge is long enough that where the thin edge of the wedge pillow comes into contact with the bed mattress is where your waist is. Therefore any bending of the body --- either lying on your back or your side --- occurs at the waist. I am an on the back or on the side sleeper. It works either way. But I prefer on the back --- or on the side with a super fluffy pillow.

I sleep on my back most of the time and this pillow has molded itself to my contours. Others I have tried keep their original shape, being to hard or have unnatural curves at the neck and top of head. This one has been firm enough to keep my neck in the correct position but giving enough to form and have true memory foam to remember my shape.

I'm a bit confused. Are you saying the pillow went flat and /or your husband is flat as in not a heavy man but thin? I don't understand fully but if you are a large person the pillow of course will flatten a lot , especially if it is sat on for more than a few hours at a time. Sweetie, there are a lot of things people sell that are in your words "no good" hehehee. Like alcohol for instance. After it flattens all you have to do is jiggle it around and fluff it a bit and it should go back to normal. Mine does. Anyway, i'm sad it doesn't work for you but millions of others love it.

Yes it keeps it shape. It does have a firmness that is consistent all the time. It is best if you are a side sleeper. Hope this helps.

Not really. This picture is deceiving because the wedge is actually beneath the pillow in this picture. You still use your own pillow.

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.

I have had this body pillow for over 6 months and it has not flattened AT ALL! I'm actually really impressed with how well it has maintained its shape. I would highly recommend this pillow.

The answer is NO; there is nothing to keep it in place. First, realize that this isn't a "large" size, in my opinion, as mentioned in the ad; the standard pillow is 20" x 26", and this item is 11" x 22". Second, it isn't a casing filled with cooling material and foam as most cooling pillows are -- this has 4 small chambers: two small ones in the center, and two larger ones on the ends. This helps distribute weight so that the weight of your head does not displace all of the cooling material inside the pad. Third, if you sleep with an angled/slanted pillow, this item can roll/slide/fold down or off your pillow; my head keeps mine in place! (The one I received does not have a "rough" side, or "non-adhesive backing" as mentioned in some of the other replies to this question.) To me, it's better than not having anything to cool my head at all...While it may not seem that it helps very much, the proof can be realized if you stop using it...so it does make a difference! :)

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

The angle is better with the ridged side up. Also, the ridges add to comfort, coolness, and prevent sliding. If you have the ridged side up, place the large end of the cover over the large end of the pillow, flip up the small end, insert the end of the pillow into the narrow end of the cover, and fold down. It is a snug fit so it won't slide off.

Mine has not stretched out of shape, in spite of regular wear. The side support is probably the most helpful part of the design and, I think that stretching/loosening would defeat the purpose and design of the stabilizers. And it would not be at all helpful if the brace is too sight. Ask your doctor for advice. If you are purchasing this in a pharmacy, ask the pharmacist or pharmacy tech for assistance. And ask if the item can be exchanged it it's too snug, or tto loose.

Not really. I use it as a bolster pillow instead of a body pillow because it is too soft. I've had so so success with folding it in half and propping myself up. Hope this helps.

I own this pillow and it is VERY bendable. I can leave it flat or bunch it up under my neck - both very comfortable. I'd recommend this for all side sleepers.
