I'm a side sleeper, usually with my knees pulled up toward my chest. I'm on again, off again, with either low back pain or sciatica (can never figure out what the actual source is). In watching this I was reminded that I have the McKenzie pillow and need to use it! I so appreciate all the work you guys (Bob, Brad and Mike) have put into making these videos available. I watch them and they are my first go to if I have any joint or muscle pain, Thanks!

[@iadorenewyork1]

Nice to see that flashback of Bob and Brad! I am a side sleeper, and it's hard to change at this point. I am going to invest in a more appropriate pillow.

[@Jane-yq6yq]

I have a 'Groove' pillow. Great for side sleeping

[@BlessedBeMyDay]

@@Jane-yq6yq I got one per Dr. recommendation. We shall see if helps my hip.

[@TamaraJoy7]

I’m a side and back sleeper . Ive had massive lower back and sciatica pain plus upper back pain over the years. I’ve found I have trouble with my arms and shoulders in bed so to fix this I just bought a children’s soft snuggle toy to hug while I’m in bed. 😂❤ It’s worked a treat! It’s about the size of a basketball but a slightly flatter shape. I can also tuck it under my stomach as I lay on my side, or tuck it between my knees. I don’t like having too many different pillows in bed as every time I turn over I wake up due to having to move and rearrange everything! My squishy soft toy is ideal for any position that I need a little support with. Hope this helps someone else. ❤

[@PeggyWilkins-z6t]

Thank you! I've been a side sleeper due to malformed L4 & L5 vertebrae. Long ago I learned to sleep with a pillow between my legs & feet, & another under my waist. Thank you for confirming I've been doing it right all these years. I learn so much from you & glad I saw a flash back in time with Bob..

[@sonjaparker7840]

I LOVE how you’ve “updated” your programs… the humor and fun is back and inserting the old clips with Brad is a great idea. It’s a more-interesting format, “in my opinion”!😂

[@karynstouffer3562]

I'm a side-sleeper. Specifically, my right side. Once I'm comfortable, I can stay there all night. I have a flat pillow, topped with an adjustable shredded foam pillow, under my head. Open space for my shoulder, another shredded foam (flatter) pillow under my ribs, and finally, a flat pillow between my legs. I fall asleep with my left (upper) leg nearly straight, and my right leg fairly bent- around 110* angle. I call my leg pillow my "knee pillow." I've been using it since 2001, when I had ACL replacement surgery. I couldn't tolerate my knees touching each other for several months post-op. It's comfortable, so I still use it. Plus, if I end up on my back, for whatever reason, my legs are supported, which keeps my back from hurting.

[@cct010601]

Side sleeper here-making that shoulder ‘trough’ accommodation was a game changer- thank you! I also use a pillow between my knees.

[@hellegilbert3000]

Thanks for the solutions. I am a back and side sleeper with neck and shoulder pains.

[@mary5827]

Oh my gosh! I've watched that older video!!! My sister had recommended Bob & Brad to me several years! Her chiropractor recommended them to her!!!❤❤❤❤❤

[@maryjacobs7046]

I use several travel pillows and a wedge, along with my plump and my flat pillows. Some are for back sleep, some for side sleep. I arrange all this however my back, neck, and knees feel most supported. I prefer side sleeping, but often have to go to my back because of shoulder or hip pain. I always support my neck to stay aligned. Great video!

[@goodtimejohnny8972]

Recently started sleeping in a recliner, can't afford an adjustable bed. If I sleep in a regular bed my shoulder is all out of alignment in the morning. Feel just fine if I sleep in a fairly upright position.

[@sleepinglioness5754]

Try that position Bob demonstrated with the pillow under your chest (8:45)......incredible!!!! Takes the pressure off the shoulder,, as well as the other one Bob showed at 9:00. Really helps. Hope you find a solution....otherwise, guess you could say you're the reason they made those chairs that only men seem to like!!!

[@lauriemathews7974]

I'm a side sleeper. Have been for years. it's the only position that is semi-comfortable for me since I injured my back at work. Love watching you guys when I can!!

[@ZakiyaAlake]

I sleep on my left side. I started have seizures about 10 years ago, often nocturnal. My Neurology team suggested this position. I will buy the McKensie roll for low back pain. Thank you for all your helpful tips and suggestions.

[@amandatkids854]

I always sleep on my back- and wake with my ribs hurting lately

[@smilesmile7330]

Try sleeping with a lumbar roll under your lower back. And a thin flat pillow under each arm or forearm. The wedge pillow under the legs helps with that too.

[@BikerChick-fy1rb]

Hey guys! So good to see Bob from the past! I have reflux and use a wide angle sponge. Sleeping on my back is no problem. Side sleeping I'm curving my spine. I really like your long round pillow that ties on what a great idea! Thanks!❤

[@kylekm546]

Your advice of a towel or sheet around the waist to sleep changed my sleep completely as the morning back pain is gone. You guys are absolutely awesome! Thank you!!

[@cindygu2175]

Great to see Bob and Brad flash back!

[@FeatnikSF]

I was surprised the pillow between the knees wasn’t addressed in either video. For lumbar support while on my side I use a small flat pillow like those found on airlines. I tried a pillow made as a combo for side and back sleepers but it wasn’t quite right so I’m back to a fairly solid memory foam pillow. I’m a lifelong side sleeper.

[@dianenelson3332]

Side sleeper. Already using the pillow under the ribs. Great video merging the info.

[@reetatts]

I love your videos, the banter between you and Mike is great, nice to see a relaxed but educational video series. I used to be a tummy sleeper until my back injuries, now I sleep on my side, with an expensive but amazing memory foam pillow and a memory foam pillow between my knees. I find it gets too hot to have any pillows in bed for support, even the knee one. But, I don't get headaches now, which I used to get all the time when sleeping on my tummy, not knowing about the causal factor. Now I'm recovering from a sciatica flare up and sleep on my side, don't move during the night at all, (somehow) and wake up feeling pain free. Thank you guys for the effort you put into your videos. We, your faithful viewers appreciate it. I'm from New Zealand.

[@ecrabbe09]

Ok what about a pillow between your knees while sleeping on your side? I’m mostly a side sleeper and I use 3 pillows, one for my head, which I position properly for neck protection, one like on the side of my stomach (hard to explain) which also gives my back support and one in between my knees. I am a “pillow nest builder” sleeper!! 🤣🤣

[@jaclyncritesJesuslovesyou]

Me too!! I sleep just like you though I have 4 pillows!!! 😂

[@TalonOfDragon]

I'm a side sleeper. I never used to have any pain at all sleeping exclusively on my side, but first came the hip pain and now the shoulder is hurting. I watched another video you had about hip pain to exercise it out which helped and intend on using the hip tip tonight. Plus, I'm going to watch the shoulder pain video right now. Thanks guys, and stay healthy.

I am a side sleeper with 2 reverse shoulder replacements. I use a knee pillow, and a pillow under the elbow, figured out on my own the slightly oblique angle of shoulder forward. I might try the under the waist option thanks for the suggestion.

[@Robert_A_Keyboards4948]

Here is the problem, most people change positions during the night. You may have a favorite starting position, however very few people stay in that position all night. You can avoid any position you want going to sleep however once you are sleep you will change positions.

[@mrcryptozoic817]

Side sleeper here. But my legs are never parallel. One leg is bent at the knee quite a bit. Your demo always shows keeping them parallel, but your knees don't like that. However I like the idea of a bit of a towel roll or a child's pillow above the hips.

[@macsmandy1]

Normally I sleep on my sides but I change positions often. When I try to sleep on my stomach I use an airline horse-shoe shaped neck pillow. With the open end down at my chin. I put my face down straight into the middle, head is not turned and am able breath through the bottom opening. If you have a long nose then use two pillows or one plump one to keep you nose from bottoming out on the mattress. Thanks guys for years of great therapeutic advice. PS. my arms usually end up laying along my sides.

[@pennee365]

You are so entertaining. I’m a stomach sleeper without a pillow about half the time. No neck issues. Many times I fall asleep on my side but wake up on my stomach with no memory of switching. It feels like I sleep most soundly on my stomach. I’ve tried sleeping on my back without success.

I am a side sleeper using a specially designed pillow for between my knees. Just from Amazon, but it makes a difference as I’ve had both hips replaced and a back surgery.

While off-topic, I had undiagnosed sleep apnea until the 1990s. I come from a long line of "raise the roof" snorers. I knew something was wrong when I began falling asleep at my desk in middle age. A wise doctor sent me for a sleep test. It actually started me on an exercise/weight loss journey. After years of fitful sleep, six weeks of CPAP (yeah, it's hard to get used to, but hang in there), I fell like Jimmy Stewart at the end of "It's a Wonderful Life." Machines have advanced, as has the science from those days.

[@b_uppy]

I sleep prone, i have my head close to the edge of the bed. I sleep with my head in a more downward position. I rest my front half of my face on the pillow, instead of the ear side... Zero headaches and it helps with other issues. When I sleep on my side I can bend my shoulder quite a ways forward or backwards and avoid the whole side problem thing,

I can only sleep on my right side but have neck tension & side hip pain. I will be trying your suggestions.

[@billielabhart7680]

Good information. I'm a side sleeper with shoulder issues so I appreciated the information about that. I use a separate pillow next to the opposite side of my head to provide support. As an analogy it would be Like a using a piece of wood as a "chuck" to keep your car from moving down a hill. I don't like putting the "top" arm across my chest as you showed because it's uncomfortable for my shoulder while the extra pillow provides support. This sounds confusing as I read it back but I'm sure you'll get what I mean. Thanks.

[@Oops-IMeantToDoThat]

Another side issue is hip alignment. On your side, unless you're fat, your upper knee sags to meet the lower. That pulls the greater trocantor, which in turn twists the hip girdle (pelvic syructure). I can only sleep on my side and started using body pillows 25-30 years ago to place my upper knee in alignment. I sleep on a waterbed, so many of the typical side sleeping issues are reduced, but the knee one is still there.

For me, I need a pretty wide pillow between my knees when side sleeping. This puts the lumbar spine in alignment instead of rotating from the weight of the knee. Recently, one knee has been so sensitive that it is also necessary to have that same foot supported with pillows. The weight of the foot actually pulls down on the ligaments in my right knee. With support, I maintain the same position through most of the night.

I have EDS hypermobile type. I've always been a side sleeper, and years ago i developed a pilow placement like yours that helped. As im aging, things go out of place far more easily. When I'm hurting bad or when I get a fresh Chiropractic adjustment, I will sleep in a zero gravity leather recliner with a pillow under my knees, pillows under my elbows, and a small pillow propped on my shoulder to keep my head from falling to my right shoulder as it likes to do. I can get 3-4 hours of good sleep in that position. If you have exercise tips for Hypermobile EDS to keep ribs from going out of place with movement, especially reaching, or while sleeping, please share!

[@vanessasgram8]

Somewhere, I saw to guys give this tip--to have a big pillow, (or two regular sized ones), put it beside your head, push an arthritic shoulder into the pillow, putting arm out or down your legs, pressure off your shoulder. Gee--I think it was two guys---??? BUT it helps my sore shoulder a lot. (say that fast 3 times---sore shoulder)!!! It helps me.

[@JnTmarie]

I lay on my side put my arm under the pillow hand about my ear sometimes I tuck my knees way up. Feels great. Like a little ball. I gather the covers under my other arm to soften the pressure . Then at some point I stretch a leg straight out the stretch feels good and I can kinda turn my shoulder back so my face is slightly up. I never seem to go on my back but I can then switch to the other side. Me: I am very limber and strong do Pilates and barre classes almost everyday . I am learning pickleball I am 5’8” tall 120 lbs female 60+ years old WFPB vegan No processed foods, no refined sugar or seed oils. Very little oil.

The pillow under the stomach for belly sleepers worked for me starting about 3 months ago when stenosis started causing pain.

Ok, Beds as well make a huge difference in pain and how you sleep. I recently changed out beds for a new memory foam type bed that is so common these days. The lower back/Hip pain I was constantly feeling disappeared in about a week. Another trick regarding neck pain when side sleeping is to simply crush your pillow up to a higher resting position or if you really need a drastic change is just grab a lower corner of your pillow and fold it under so you have now doubled the thickness of your pillow. You can fine tune this with altering the amount of tuck you do. Small tuck = small change.

I did end up getting a memory foam pillow that has a slight dip in the middle. I wish I had it sooner. I had hip replacement last winter and I'm about to have the other one done. I still sleep with a pillow between my knee/ankle and I did use the idea to create a tunnel so my shoulder doesn't get sore. I still find it a bit uncomfortable to put a pillow under the ribcage. I feel like it pushes it up too far so I guess I need to find a thinner pillow or maybe just a folded towel. hmmm guess I will be trying that. :) Thanks for your videos!

Fav sleeping position definitely side lying. I love the "canal" idea for shoulder and low back pain. What about sidelying with pillow between your knees or supine with a wedge or roll under the knees?

Yes, both good options. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nnbQhXWhf7N7nMk
