I’m undecided between 2 and 3

    I recently made an effort to switch myself from stomach to side sleep… and discovered this exact technique through trial and error, and for the same reasons!

    I do a few modifications, though. In my case it’s specifically two thin soft pillows that give me the height I need. Also, I prefer them rotated vertically so I have a more generous chest surface on the lower tier. And if I go to sleep on my side (which is most of the time now) I don’t need the tiers so I’ll “roll up” the lower portion of the pillows to temporarily eliminate the lower tier. If I move enough at night the pillows unroll themselves right into my stomach sleep configuration. Or maybe I manually lift myself to let them unroll, not really sure but this has been working for me.

      This has really been a fun thread and I’m glad I participated in it! With a post like this, I never know if the intent is serious or silly, but it’s been cool learning everyone’s pillow-tech.

      The sleep pros may all say we should be using one thin pillow and all sleep on our back or whatever the general rules are these days, but I can’t for the life of me fall asleep on my back. I don’t sleep textbook perfect, so I’ve got to find a practical solution for me.
