Has anyone ever used this on a trip to sleep when on back or side? I am using a towel now, but wonder if this could work for sitting and sleeping?

The one I received did not inflate enough to make it useful. Returned to Amazon. Have a Thermarest Lumbar Pillow which still serves its purpose after 25 years! Recommend that instead.

I found it really uncomfortable on a plane for my back and no good for sleeping.

I use it all the time for plane travel, and sometimes for sleeping on back. I love it, can't do without out. I am buying another since my bag was stolen on last trip!

This cushion works OK for the small of the back when sitting. Not sure of how it would work for sleeping postures.

I use this pillow constantly but every persons back issues are unique. I tend to sleep in a somewhat upright /sleeping position and do not use this item that way very often but sometimes the pillows in hotels are inadequate and it certainly helps when that is the case. But the pillow in full inflation is only about 3/4 of an inch thick, maybe an inch tops. Also the surface is a touch smooth. I would be sure to put a piece of cloth over it if sleeping on it that way. And the thickness may not be enough for your particular needs.

I use mine for this, and it is great to be able to increase the firmness by just opening the valve. For me the valve is able to hold whatever pressure I set, and the self inflating feature is excellent. Mine is 2.5 years old, and I am very happy with it.

I use it all the time for travel on planes, cars and buses, and it provides great support. For planes you need to underinflate it, as it will inflate more as you gain altitude due to lower air pressure. As for sleeping you will have to try it out yourself to see if it will work for you, but I can't imagine it not working.Good lck............

I used mine to sleep when I had a terrible hotel bed. It helped me get to sleep, but I move around too much when I sleep and found it got in the way. But if you sleep in one position, then you might like it.

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

They work great on carpet for me. If I am traveling light, I will put a bath towel on the floor. However, I did buy one of their travel towels, ,which I also like to use with my YogaPaws too. LOVE THEM!!!

Yoga is the only thing I haven't used this towel for.... yet... but I would, and know that the comfort and versatility of it will be useful to you. This towel has replaced many things for me; I can use it for just about anything. Good luck to you!

I think it does a good job for sleeping on ones side. My wife sleeps on her side nightly and has not had one issue with it.

I suppose you could. It may not be that comfortable, and it definitely won't stay hot, but it would probably be equivalent to sleeping with a towel on your head.

It's not for sleeping. It's just a sun shade. If sitting on a chair it has to be a low one. Or sit on a blanket or towel.

My opinion - no. It protrudes to much in front to be comfortable especially if you rolled over. Definitely a before bed thing. That being said, you can use it doing almost anything else before bed.

I sleep on my back or side so I'm unable to give you any guidance. I really like this pillow and don't know why it wouldn't be comfortable for those sleeping on their stomach too.

There really is not a lot of absorbent material on the sides of these, there is a sufficient amount of material in the front, back, and area between legs for heavy bladder leaks, but probably NOT enough for sleeping on your side, they are good for active people, walking and normal movement, or for wheelchair bound people as long as they are in sitting position, or laying on their back.Hope this helps.

I find that when I sleep on my side, I end up with my head in the hole, too. I sleep like that intentionally with no problems. If I want to side sleep and keep my head elevated, I turn the pillow around and sleep on the "top" part. Both ways work well for me and I am very pleased with this pillow!

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

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.

I haven't tried it. There is a loop on the back of it. You could put something through that I guess. I use it when im sleeping in the front seats of a tractor trailer. My heads against a window with my feet across the passenger seat. I works great for that position

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!

It works well while laying down. You might want to have a pad underneath you just in case.
