InteVision Four Position Support Pillow (20.5" x 8" x 4.5") - Provides Best Support for Sleeping on Side or Back - Helps Relieve Back Pain

After reading some of the negative reviews I almost didn't buy this pillow. The price was so good, I decided to try it anyway. I'm so glad I did. I love this thing. I'm normally a side sleeper; but sometimes I like to sleep on my stomach or back. Back and knee problems have prevented this entirely until I received a ComfiLife Orthopedic Knee Pillow for Sciatica Relief, Back Pain, Leg Pain, Pregnancy, Hip and Joint Pain - 100% Memory Foam Wedge Contour as a gift. The knee pillow is really great too. For short periods of time I used it as a support to lie on my side and stomach and it helped a lot, but was kind of small and awkward for very long. But, it gave me hope and that's why I bought this, I slept all night on my back! It's firm without being hard and provides excellent support behind knees (for back sleeping) or ankles (for stomach sleeping) .The packaging was a little time consuming to open because it's squished so tightly with no air and a lot of plastic and tape. I was afraid of cutting the pillow. Once I got it open the thing expanded like crazy instantly. The slipcover fits well and was easy enough to get on. It's kind of wrinkly, but, not a biggie for me.

It would be nice if the pillow were slightly larger, but the firmness and shape more than met my expectations. Like another reviewer, I use it under my bad knee when I am in bed or otherwise lying prone. Before using this pillow, I usually found myself rotating my hip joint outward to keep from over-extending my knee, which over time has caused pain and stiffness in my hip joint as well. Now with this pillow, I'm able to keep my tag straight with comfort. After using it all night, it still pops right back into shape the next day; no flattening here. (Not yet, at least, but nothing lasts forever.) At times, I also use it behind my head while watching TV or browsing the net. I suspect it could also be used for better positioning during sex, depending on where and how it's placed. (Thank goodness for the cover which is easily removable for cleaning, right?!)Because of my great experience with this pillow, I recently ordered one for my father who had had surgery on his cervical spinal cord near his neck. He was having a difficult time keeping his head in a position that wasn't painful, but after he received this pillow, he's been so much happier. Now he can rest and recover as easily and painlessly as possible. Due to his experience, as well as my own experience over the last couple years, I'm upgrading my rating from 4 stars to 5.If you found my review useful or interesting, please be sure to click Helpful below.

I use it while sleeping, I’m a tosser Turner kind of guy. And it works well for intimate moments when you need to prop things up a little bit higher to get that right angle.

I've purchased 2 of these now I would definitely recommend. I use mine quite often several times a day. Take it out of its cover wash it and dry it returns back to normal. Great for my disabled body!

I have been using a different type of support to assist with a hip problem caused by a fall. The other item is also made by InteVision and is called a Knee Pillow. Unfortunately, that particular item is not currently available and unknown when/if it will be available in the future.The Four Position Support Pillow is too firm for my needs.

Last year I bought this for my friend because her bed in her dorm didn't have a headboard and her pillow would always fall down. I measured the gap and when this arrived luckily it wedged in perfectly! It's really compressed and smells a bit like chemicals when you first get it. I made sure to read the whole pamphlet and wash it for her because it was a present. This year I had the same sort of bed so I bought one for myself. Every once in a while my pillow would still fall but that's because I needed to shove my bed closer to the wall since it would slowly move. It's a small price to pay for avoiding constant frustration. I bet plenty of other people have this problem in their dorm rooms or houses and I would totally recommend buying this.

This use to be a great pillow when they were making it with a higher density foam which was all yellow. Now since they have chanced it to a blue border on it, it is way too soft. No support after 5 minutes for side sleepers. It squashed down to 2-3” and I was laying on it on the widest 8” part of it too. By morning, my shoulders & neck are hurting really bad. A waste of money if you are looking for any head & neck support. Please go back to the higher density foam you use to make this pillow with.

This pillow is just the right height for me to use under my knees when sleeping on my back. Many bolster-type pillows are too high for me. (I am 5 '2" tall.) It takes the pressure off the lower spine where I had surgery and helps keep back pain, sciatica, and leg spasms to a minimum. I was using a larger, heavier pillow that I had to fight with and twist too much to get into place. This one is light and easy to move around. It has a removable, navy blue cotton cover that can be washed. And it cost much less than others I saw online and in medical equipment stores.I also sometimes use this pillow between my knees when sleeping on my side, but find it not quite as comfy for me in that position. It is just a little too thick to be perfect while side sleeping. I still do use it, though, because it is just easier to use one pillow, rather than two, when turning from back to side during the night.

Pour dormir tres bien

Small, not sturdy enough. Ended up returning the item.
