Today we’re going to talk about why you should sleep with a pillow between your legs. A pillow that is flatter and is not too big or too small may work well. You want a pillow that will raise up the knee just enough so that the spine is level.
Potential benefits of sleeping with a pillow between your legs:
1. Reduce or prevent low back pain
2. Reduce sciatica pain
3. Reduce knee pain
4. Reduce hip pain
5. Improve breathing

No wonder my father never had back or knee pain. He sleeps like that since I could remember. This channel rocks my socks😄😄😄😄😄
I design and manufacture sleep pillows. When you see pillow densities listed as; soft, medium, firm, and extra firm, you need to read that to mean; thinner, thin, thicker, and thickest. So, a ‘softer pillow’ is technically the thinnest in the grouping of densities. This specifically applies to feather pillows or down pillows. Additionally, standard size pillows are the ‘smallest’ of the sleep pillows (20” x 26”) while king size pillows as you might expect are the largest. You should still use a pillow protector (defined as having a zipper) and a pillowcase which does NOT have a zipper and wash both of those items every weekend with your other bedsheets to slow down the yellowing that typically happens with all bedding over time. I hope that helps.

Wow.. So many benefits. Well I have been sleeping with pillow between my legs for past 25 years! 😀
I used to do this when I was young but haven't slept that way in well over 20yrs... maybe I'll give it a shot and see how it feels in the morning because at my age getting out of bed is BRUTAL, EVERY thing HURTS.
I was advised to sleep with a pillow between my knees when I was pregnant with my first child. 34 years later I'm still doing it. Never had any back pain all this time.
Yes, this absolutely works. Healed my chronic, recurring lower back and sciatica pain.
Almost twenty years to the day since I started using a pillow between my legs. My physiotherapist ordered me to and never looked back!

I live in Indonesia and basically everyone here sleeps with a long sausage shaped pillow known as a bolster between their knees. Once you've tried it you'll never look back...amazingly comfortable...indeed it's kinda strange that so many other countries and cultures don't have them.

My Mom said this a lot when I was a kid. 😆
Thanks dr berg i am from morocco your advices help me to reduce belly fat bloating and insulin issues.
100% agree!! I discovered it accidently myself one day and always sleep like that since then!!
Great Tip And Explanation ❤️
This has done WONDERS for my back and sleep. I was waking up with achy legs and back constantly. All day was a drag with pain and taking IBU. I just so happened to be watching a tv program with a guy who had back problems and had a segment when he went to sleep that he used a knee pillow. Suddenly I thought, hey that might be just what I need. Ordered one on Amazon and now I cant sleep or rest without it. They're cheap too!
Since my first pregnancy about 7 years ago, I sleep with a pillow between my knees. I find it so comfortable this way.
I had been doing it from my child hood, always required an extra pillow for keeping in between my legs. And as well right side gives more comfort while sleeping. I adopted this habit naturally. Highly appreciate all of your outstanding efforts and advices Dr. Berg. Thanks a lot with love blessings and prayers.
I'm trying to sleep on the right side. Long time I learned from you. Thank you so much Dr.Berg. 💓
I always have back and knee pain whenever I sleep on my side with nothing between my legs. I also have another pillow to "hug", in practice it gives a rest to my arms and somewhat "balaces" me when side-sleeping.

❤Best Channel on KZread.❤ I suffer with knee and back pain and my doctors have never once mentioned this option.
Hi from Algeria 🙏dr ... thanks for your help and share ... wish you all the best
WOW!! 🎉 Again thank you so much 🙂 I really appreciate this because I have a real hard time sleeping on my left side. My heart starts beating hard and if I do fall asleep I wake up with an anxiety or panic attack. And then my blood pressure goes through the roof that adds to the already anxiety. Thank you thank you thank you ☺️ xo
Dear Doc, I had pain in my hips and lower back, doctors thought it was because of my muscle failure in my legs. Until I was very well advised in a bed specialist store, I bought an orthopedic pillow for between my legs. I have been using it since. completely rid of my pain, really great. Loved it 🙋🏻♀️🌹🤗
I do it already! Thank you for explaining all the reasons for doing it. As usual with your wonderful competence and wisdom!
I have mini pillow for my knees.its cover has elastics to wear on leg so no need to find pillow on turning sides..and no worry to drop down of pillow. Pillow cover I made has 2 elastics ...one elastic engage 2 edges and elastics r not very tight.i kept one elastic loop loose according to thigh and other smaller according to leg.
Some years ago I started to do this, it cured my back pain. It works 👍🏻

I do this to prevent sciatica for years. Works beautifully.
Having lower back problems, sleeping with a pillow between my legs has been a huge relief. I can’t sleep without it. I start sleeping on my right side and with sleep apnea (using the dream machine) and having Afib, helps very much with these problems. During the night I find myself turning over to the left and some time sleeping face up. But the best is having the pillow between my legs. It helps a lot.
Thanks Dr Berg 🌟💫✨⚡️💥❤️

Whats your opinion on mouth taping for better sleep. I just tried it last night for the first time and I slept amazing. Like a baby.

Yes! Could Mouth Taping be used instead of a CPAP for someone... Or even with a nasal CPAP mask? I had heard about mouth taping from a YT interview Mike had done. But there's good takeaways in his 11 min YT video called, "Mouth Tape and Sleep: Tips from 3 Years of Regular Use."

When I had my hip replaced 22 yrs ago, they had me use a foam wedge to keep my hips apart until I was healed. To this day, I still use a pillow between my legs as it helps with my back which I also had a discectomy on. Only thing that sucks about it as when you toss and turn, you have to move the pillow with you.
@thebtchthathikes1008

Try to find a way to either fasten velcro tabs on it to use velcro straps to wrap around your legs or something with a hook like a bungee cord that you can wrap around legs but fasten to the wedge. Just some thoughts on the idea to jump start trying to help the problem. Good luck!
I've been sleeping with a pillow (small one) between my legs for years now. Now, I can appreciate why I'm doing it. I can't sleep without it. Thanks for articulating what I just "felt" good about it.

The choosing a backfriendly bedmattress was very important for me when i bought my new bed. I don't have back pain since then
Wow I’ve been doing this for a while & never knew it was legitimately beneficial- just felt good (especially when losing weight & having less cushioning between the knees)!
Been doing for awhile this since it's soo comfortable. Never knew it was beneficial!
Been doing this for a week now, such a difference it has made.
