I've slept reclined unfortunately due to vertigo issues. The problem with sleeping like this (using a wedge) can cause your head to droop to one side or the other causing some awful pain and stress on your neck muscles. You need some kind of support to keep your head from rotating left or right. I've used a C shaped cervical pillow but I think it's causing problems with my neck. I seem to have best luck with a cervical buckwheat pillow that looks like the roll. It's quite hard though and I'm unable to sleep on the side with it. Thank you for sharing this as I think I need a new pillow that fits me. better than the larger one I have.

I have had so much trouble with pillows! For years and years... I have a really bad neck and need something that gives not just cervical support but a little pressure for curve correction... can't stand those cervical pillows as the rounded bit at the top slightly pushes head forward or pressures top of head. I love the roll though, where did you get that!!! I ended up sourcing a pillow from the EU its called Sotvacmit Sleeping Neck Pillow... really amazing. Firm enough to provide some curve correction during sleeping, allows the base of the skull to tilt back so ears are in line with shoulders, good for both back and side sleeping, can use at any angle for different effects... highly recommend it. I have also used the Harley original contour neck support orthopaedic pillow for neck... (whew that was a mouthful), not available in Australia, but really good. The neck support bit is narrow so it provides support and curve correction of the cervical spine without pushing on the occipital area. Most neck pillows I find the roll is too broad making contact with the occipital area and ever so slightly pushing my head forward and I just can't tolerate that, they are made for people with healthy necks. Anyway, thank you for demonstrating these, really helpful.

I'm sorry if you have already made one and I missed it, but I would love if you did a video for optimum types of pillows for different sleeping styles (Soft, extra firm, etc, Which work best for side/stomach/flip-flop sleepers? Also, what was the large pillow with the dip in the centre at 4:47? That looked helpful.). You touch on it a bit here. but I feel like there's much more to talk about.

Oh my goodness, Dr. Saunders. All my favorite positions are bad (stomach and side with head tucked in fetal) and my least favorites are the best; I feel exposed on my back. I ordered a temper-pedic pillow like yours at 5:30 because I feel like I need to still have a pillow-shaped pillow, I'll just turn it as I turn during the night. The tubular pillow also looked nice but I think it'd feel like my head is having to balance to stay on. My self-dx'd cervical radiculopathy seems to be healing little by little each day but then I test it out with jumping jacks or jogging and then it hurts again.

In pillows, we also have various fillings like fiber, memory foam, latex foam, buckwheat, etc. How to select that? 2. The only pillow that could work for someone who switches in night between back sleep to side sleep, would be the rolled one, right? As the thin normal pillow placed below scapula, would have to be adjusted to below neck when swapping to side, which may not be always possible during deep sleep. Right?

I think the common advice is that stomach sleeping is bad for you, so unfortunately no one seems to want to give advice for it. I've been a stomach sleeper almost all my life. It's the only way I can actually comfortably fall asleep, despite how much I've tried over the years. Side sleeping kills my hips after awhile, and back sleeping doesn't work for various reasons. But the minute I swap to my stomach, I feel my hips release and it's the best feeling. I only wish there was a way to do it without turning my head to the side!

Thank you for this video, it’s gold. I’ve put off buying a new mattress because I’m not sure what to buy, do you have any suggestions ?

As firm as you can handle while still being able to sleep comfortably - thanks for watching!

@@drjonsaunders please do a video on choosing the right mattress.

I don’t know about the wedge pillow at the end. I’ve never used one. But everything he says I can back up because the pinched nerve in my neck reports to me immediately when I do something wrong - when I get out of line - when I do the fetal position neck tuck when I am side sleeping. . This guy knows what he’s talking about.

Very interesting...what is the best sleep position for low back pain ( lordosis) ?

Same as shown in video...pillow should be under your knees if on your back or between your knees if on your side. Best wishes.

My arms have always driven me crazy when it comes to sleep. I prefer my side to sleep, and my shoulder/neck/hands, SOMETHING WITH ARMS ALWAYS WAKES ME. I’m just tired of being tired. Thanks man.

Thank you for the video, what do you think about Sleep & Glow Omnia pillow, do you recommend it? I’m a side sleeper.

You’re welcome 😊

Thank you for the video! It would be nice to understand how to position the arms and shoulders when sleeping on the side. I sometimes wake up with a pain in between my shoulder blades after sleeping on my side. I’m assuming there is room for improvement for my sleeping position 😊

If your a side sleeper but the wedge has been recommended due to gerd etc. i use a pillow ontop if the wedge sometimes but do struggle with it.

I'm struggling to find which pillow or posture would be best. I have an l5/disc bulge and multiple cervical disc bulges from c3-c7. Any suggestions? I love this video and shared it!

You will have to try a few of what I have shown to find the best one that works...unfortunately there is no one way that works perfectly for everyone.

Thank you so much! I have a question, what effects does sleeping while facing downwards/laying on your front have on your health? Also is there any tips in sleeping positions or physical exercises to have a slimmer body and also for fixing overall posture
