Does anyone here sleep with a wedge pillow?

Been debating getting one because of back pain.

Not for pillow humping or sexual reasons please no dms.

I just ordered one online because I sleep with four pillows to keep me propped up. I can't lay on a completely flat mattress.

I almost wish I had a hospital bed at home. I got kinda spoiled sleeping in one for six months.

We'll see if it works.

I have 3 full body pillows on my bed and sleep like a baby. One for each side and one for the feet. Almost orgasmic but just really really comfortable.
My mattress is great also and most nights I can’t wait to crawl in bed. Of course being nude triples the comfort.

[KittygosMeoWW]

That sounds so nice!

Try it
Like I said, I look forward to bedtime.

I have a pillow designed for neck support, and often sleep with one between my knees too because I'm a side sleeper. You need to know your sleeping positions if you're waking up with a sore neck, or back or legs.

[KittygosMeoWW]

I’m a tummy down sleeper but lately I keep going to my side

[loveslongnails]

Ouch. Sleeping on your stomach puts a ton of stress on your neck, so definitely talk to a doctor.

[KittygosMeoWW]

My lower back is the problem

[loveslongnails]

You should get advice from a specialist. You can also look things up on line. Here's a start:

It made mine worse when I had an injury. So check with your doctor. What did work for me was gentle work with resistance bands to warm and loosen the muscles. It depends what your pain is from though. Again, ask your doctor.

[KittygosMeoWW]

Ok will do I just want some pressure of my lower back

[dustybiker2]

Right: but if you are out of alignment that could be a bad position for you and in turn do more damage. As it did for me.

[KittygosMeoWW]

I think they are out of alignment my chiropractor doesn’t have anything till October 😭

[dustybiker2]

Oh awful. Have you tried a yoga ball? I can't live without it. Lay over it front and back. Go gently. Just slow roll to see if it helps.

[dustybiker2]

Maybe some moist heat for twenty min first to loosen things up.

[KittygosMeoWW]

No sadly gave my yoga ball to a cousin who was gonna give birth. She never gave it back and haven’t bought one again. I have a foam roller but hasn’t helped

[jack1924]

I never tried one. I usually try to see the product’s reviews on Amazon or other websites and what people say about it, you can also buy it, try it and return it, some products are free return if you are not satisfied with it

[jack1924]

Lmao@“Not for pillow humping or sexual reasons please no dms”

[KittygosMeoWW]

Can never ask a question in peace

[jack1924]

💯 right

[Goahead76]

I have one, but I've never thought of it being used for back pain, just something to lean against. Can I ask what of back pain, as in lower back, muscle soreness, or something more serious?

[KittygosMeoWW]

I have a herniated disc probably from sports or when I used to do cheerleading/dance in high school.

[Goahead76]

So I've had general lower back pain for years but it's just I push myself way too hard physically. Sometimes though it's gotten really bad, where it would wake me up at night in excruciating pain if I rolled over or moved the wrong way. My self treatment though was to buy all kinds of those shiatsu massagers to keep my back muscles as relaxed as possible. I also bought a hot tub which helps immensely. I'm not sure if any of this would affect a herniated disc though. Does sleeping with a pillow between your legs or a really soft mattress topper help?

[KittygosMeoWW]

Yes I sleep with a pillow but still don’t get any relief… I just need to be readjusted on my hips

[DrPepper12]

My wife for thighs to align back. she's not sure if it helps

[KittygosMeoWW]

Darn was just gonna ask if it helps lol

[DrPepper12]

Sorry. Im not sure we were truly meant to walk upright or do without prehensile tails

[NathanDavis]

I used to sleep on a recliner before... because I messed up my back really good

[mrkdvsn]

I start off each night using one. Not because of any medical problems, I just like to start off sitting up slightly, before I remove it, leaving just my regular pillow.

[Anonymous]

I tried one I could stand it. Not for back pain I don't remember why I used one. Maybe it was for sinus trouble.

[exitseven]

No i use one of the king size My Pillows

[jamesgoldman]

Yeah, great for breathing and my neck issues

[noohair]

My pillow helped me sleep better

[dudegreat91]

Don't even know what that is

[eagle1951]

nope
