Tummy sleepers need a massage table 😂 with a face opening as their bed 😉

@leslieewing9088 2 years ago

Thanks for the look back at Bob. I miss him.

@Wildflower1517 1 year ago

It is so nice you keep Bob in our hearts .Wish the best for him.

Back sleeping is very hard on the rib cage. When I sleep on my back I snore and my wife elbows me in the ribs.

@TamaraJoy7 1 year ago

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. ❤

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

@barbararuiz8955 11 months ago

Thank you as a left side sleeper!

@nlsellers2 2 years ago

What would we do without your YouTube channel. I have watched so many videos and you've made my life so much easier. Thanks guys!

@Robert_A_Keyboards4948 2 years ago

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.

@lifeisgood3995 1 year ago

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!

@ecrabbe09 2 years ago

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!! 🤣🤣

@sonjaparker7840 1 year ago

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”!😂

@FeatnikSF 1 year ago

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.

@sleepinglioness5754 2 years ago

Can't tell you how many times I think of you guys during the night while adjusting my pillows. You've saved me many, many times.:face-red-heart-shape:

@iadorenewyork1 2 years ago (edited)

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.

@mrcryptozoic817 2 years ago

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.

@karynstouffer3562 1 year ago

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.

You know if you can only sleep in away to sleep you will do it that way no matter good or bad. We did it this way from the beginning of time. Do what works for you.
