I've always imagined having a bed that has holes in it where the head and arms go, so I can lie down, face down, comfortably. If someone would like to steal my idea and invent this I'll happily give you my money to buy one from you.
Why can we only thumbs up or down on comments?? This needs a heart! ❤❤❤❤ here you go genius. I want one of these beds too! In the interim, I dream about that pillow contraption Jennifer Lopez had in the movie where she was pregnant. I'm little and can lay across it on my stomach. Almost completely achieve what you described above with that bed. . .
I have a terrible reflux all my life and will invest in that wedge foam. I always used my very big pillow to form a wedge (fold it 1/3). Hope I'll find foam one soon :) I'm 31 and never had prolonged back pain or neck pain due to bad sleeping position and I sleep elevated all my life, but the neck stiffness is there. Thank you for the idea for the people with reflux 💖 I'll also add, that I sleep exclusively on my sides.
As for side sleepers...the pillow depth will depend on how wide/narrow your shoulders are. Use the proper thickness helps...it took me a lot of tries to get the right thickness. I buy pillows that zipper to add or remove filling. Thanks guys!
“So what brings you to the ER tonight?” “Neck pain” “What happened? Traumatic fall?” “No, watching Bob & Brad vids in bed with poor posture, but the video regarding proper posture while in bed hadn’t come out yet, sooo, um, yeah...” “So you’re blaming the two most famous physical therapists on the Internet (in their opinion of course)?” “Yes...maybe?...I mean, no. I love them.” “Alright. Fill this out and listen for your name...”
Yes.... this is how my neck pain started. The HARD pillows at the Palms Place casino in Las Vegas. One night of my neck at a 45 degree angle and this started my neck issues. I am much better now after watching BOB & BRAD!!!...LOL!
Thank you! I had just purchased a wedge and formed-foam pillow through my chiropractor. Two weeks of having tried to sleep this way has found me waking often with increased discomfort. Trying not to turn to OTC pain meds. I’m grateful.
I recently had surgery that has required me to sleep on my back with a couple pillows for support. It felt comfortable at first but has since caused me to wake with neck pains and head aches.. I should have known because I've had nerve blocks done that helped with my neck pain immensely. Thank you for this video to remind me that two pillows is two much. You two are the greatest. I'm so happy to have you two to help me with my problems. You both have helped me so much in so many cases. Thank you, Holli
I sleep like that and i really thought im having a stroke im young 28 (and neck pain or pinched nerve ) feels like stroke specially when you feel numbness now i will sleep better and always do your advice . My syntoms is vertigo , numbness and etc when i sleep i never feel it when im active . I sleep with 4 pillows and curving my whole neck
It’s 2:50 am my neck has been bothering me for two weeks, I open my phone and this pops up in my TH-cam feed... Are you two watching me?? You always seem to post a video of the exact problem I am having at that moment!!
Great advice guys! I would have to add, in addition to not enough pillow while laying on your side, that too many pillows while on your side is just as bad at bending your neck and taking it out of neutral position. That's how my husband sleeps. This video came along right at the right time. Maybe he will listen to you guys about this, cuz he won't listen to me! I have an extremely sensitive neck and the number one thing that affects it is how I slept the night before, no question! I often sleep with no pillow while on my back, and grab my pillow if I roll over onto my side. I took a MyPillow brand pillow and sewed it so that there's no filling in the center (it's all pushed out to the four edges). That way, if I do want a pillow while on my back, the back of my head goes in that depression I sewed and my neck has a little bit of cushion, but not too much. There's a pillow you can buy called Tricore that are made that way and when I do need a new pillow, that's probably what I'm going to buy. I can't for the life of me understand why most pillows are made the way they're made. Just look at a humans head and neck... why would you want a big puffy thing pushing your head towards your chest, especially when we're all getting "tech neck" anyway!!
I have recently started sleeping more upright, because I have been getting puffines eye. Which really gets me down, cos I look tired all the time. I don't know what else to do . Do you have any suggestions please. Thank you, for you awesome video. You guys are awesome regards and best wishes from Perth Western Australia 🇦🇺
I slept on an incline of 4" for over a year and now I have a disc extrusion. I think since they say your discs leak out a bit at night that the incline caused my extrusion.
What’s the solution if healing from shoulder surgery? My neck has been my only pain and I knew from day 1 it was from sleeping the way I’m sleeping. 3 weeks post-op now.
This is really helpful to me because I woke up in distress today with bad pain on the lower left back of my head and breathing problems, I have the acid reflux and breathing problems and I can't sleep flat because I get extremely dizzy so I've always been sleeping with two pillows props straight up but it does so much damage to my neck because I sleep on my sides and I use my elbow to prop myself up. I know I need to figure a way to get the pillows down on the bed rather than against the headboard because I'm scared I'm going to cut off my oxygen one night and have trouble with my heart. I'm scared and I want to change so this is really helpful thank you!
You should see a Dr if you have sleep apnea not asking physical therapists! Sleep apnea can be a sign of a severe problem. Raising your head and laying on your side can help people who snore but again your snoring may be caused by something more serious.
I keep sliding down from my wedge pillow and end up with very uncomfortable pain all along my shoulders down to my back.... I don't know what should I do...
Makes sense as we spend 1/3 of our life in bed, so getting our sleeping posture right should have a profound affect on our quality of life. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you guys! First I had trouble sleeping because of my shoulders. I've always slept on my arms, but I hurt my shoulders heavy lifting and then I couldnt sleep the way I always have. Then,. Compensating with pillows to keep shoulder arm pain at bay so I could sleep, my neck has begun to give me trouble. Getting old and having pain is inevitable i guess,. But dang i sure wish i could just get a good night's sleep.
I have a cervical type pillow with memory foam that’s supposed to support my neck. (The pillow has a small hill on one side and a larger hill on the other and the center is dipped down....if this makes an sense.) I still get neck pain, so I’m questioning if the pillow works.
YEAH My trapezius area is so painful when I put my neck backwards. Also my neck is grinding like sand when I nod No. How do I put my neck back into place?
Hi I have cervical instability of my c4 to c5 levels. I'm having a acdf surgery in dec for it but I just can't seem to sleep right now. The pain is horrible numbness & tingling, nerve pain. I also have really bad acid reflux so i've been sleeping on a wedge pillow. Could this be making the pain worse? I'm just not sure how to sleep right now. Do you have any recommendations?
Yeah i admit, i sleep on a wedge on the couch with a neck pillow wrapped around my neck all night due to my systolic heart failure and it helps me breathe but the only really bad thing is i miss laying flat on my pillows i have on my bed and without this neck pillow but it sure alleviates my pinched nerve in the C 6-7 area (also has a pinched nerve in the T-4)... Do you have a wedge u recommend i try out.. the ones i have bought from bed bath and beyond just do not give me the angle this 10 in 1 wedge does well on my couch.. but misses my bed however sleeps better on the couch.. suggestions Bob and Brad .. love your stuff here.. i gotta get caught up on what u have posted lately.
I have slept on my stomach as long as I can remember, and I have NEVER headache. I barely even know what it feels like. Of course, I change positions during the night, and sleep on the sides and back as well.
I cant fall asleep except on my stomach, bad habit. I turn my head all the time as my neck gets tired, have headaches too. Ive tried many times to stop just so hard to fall asleep
Medcline acid reflux sleep system is not available in Europe. What alternative product do you recommend for obese side sleepers with GERD / Sleep apnea who suffer from shoulder and neck pain?
Post nasal drip as well as positional sleep apnea (that is if you aren't flat on your back, it's much improved). Though I hate the wedge--anyone know of a good one that feels better. They feel very hard. I've used sort of a make shift one--but I'm sure it's wrong.
I sleep with a partially rolled bath towel. It allows my head to go back but supports my neck. I used to wake up with headaches often, now I rarely wake up with one.
I can see the towel thing choking ppl on their sleep and maybe that's bad. Especially in older ppl... And then getting confused and not being able to undo it. Maybe there's a product that is secured that won't do that like a light neck brace...
I used to have a lot of problems with "pillowage": too soft, too low, too many, etc. Then some years ago I bought a pillow filled with the husks of some sort of grain (I cannot remember which precisely). Anyway, I would highly recommend these to anyone. You can add or subtract filling via a zippered opening and get the "heighTH" just right for your own head and neck. They are also very good in that you can "scrunch" them up to get the best position for falling asleep (filling that neck concavity for example) and they retain that shape for a long time. It certainly gives me a good night's sleep. P.S: Step 1 - don't have a TV in the bedroom. It is bad for sleep in all ways.
Moggridge sounds like a great pillow! Will be on lookout when I’m due for a new one:) Also I am with you no TV in the bedroom is the way to go for the best 😴 sleep
Wow could my headaches at the base of my skull ive had for 20 years with no answer from the doctors be fixed by simply how i sleep!!?? I will take on your advice and see thanks 👍
Would be nice if it were that simple. Have you had an MRI? Arthritis can cause severe pain at the base of the skull as can a herniated disc. Hope your sleep position is the key!
A day too late guys! I was in bed last night and I always like to think about what I did throughout the day and I was in that position and I feel asleep before I took off the pillows. boy did I wake up with neck pain!
If you are having chronic neck pain please see your Dr and do not assume it is just how you are sleeping. It could be something more serious such as herniated discs, arthritis etc.
My wife had another one of her episodes last night. She was breathing heavy, I get up to wake her up. She's staring dead at me not realizing it and her arms are straight out and stiff. It stops after a while, but it's really scary. I know she sleeps with her neck bent, and she's been trying to stop. Does anyone know what this is? PLEASE HELP.
@@oofies6653 Doc. Told us each of those episodes she was having, she was actually dying. Very scary and devastating to be told that. They were actually seizures. She eventually had to get a pace maker put in witch she said was the most painful experience. I just Thank God I took her to emergency last week, and now she's home. Thank you❤
See your Dr. It could be a nerve issue. A nerve that is compressed. If you have to stand for long periods try using a stool or even a few thick books stacked and lift one leg to rest on the stool or books. Hope you feel better.

Massage bed?
They actually have foam beds now with slits.
But you could always get I foam bed and cut your own slits or holes.
I've thought about it.
You can buy an Ayurveda massage bed. Similar to your description
I always had that same idea too lol
I have a terrible reflux all my life and will invest in that wedge foam. I always used my very big pillow to form a wedge (fold it 1/3).

Amen. I bought a cervical pillow and my entire body has been lit on fire

I like the wedge. But it looks a little to small(length) for you. Should I make a mode for making it longer ? I'm 6 5.
I have a cervical type pillow with memory foam that’s supposed to support my neck. (The pillow has a small hill on one side and a larger hill on the other and the center is dipped down....if this makes an sense.) I still get neck pain, so I’m questioning if the pillow works.
Sleep with no pillow; search for "Inclined Beds", if it doesn't work out just sleep on the floor, it's 100x better, I tell from experience.
I just bought this type of pillow. It destroyed my neck
YEAH
My trapezius area is so painful when I put my neck backwards. Also my neck is grinding like sand when I nod No. How do I put my neck back into place?
How are your ? Are you a back sleeper
We care about you guys too! Thank you!

Not sure if I can mention a brand name (no affiliation to myself). I bought a buckwheat hulls pillow from Kuseno company in Canada. I love it.
I switch to every position exept on my back. But I do wake up with the worst neck pain sometimes, I have to just break down and take some asprin.
Hi guys! What about the McKenzie cervical pillow?? It has helped me a lot!!
