Oh... and my dh has ONE, count them, ONE pillow. I've offered him more....said we can buy as many as we want.... there is no rule. But he wants, quite simply, JUST the one!!! NOW THAT'S WEIRD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Two pillows under my head, top one must be down, both high loft. A cylinder pillow from a drugstore, slippery fabric, stuffed with micro beads that goes between legs, size and slipperiness make it easier for me to change position.

Have a backergnomic pillow - Reading pillow, upright with the stuffed arms coming out for reading and TV watching. But my hips still hurt when I wake.

Chris says it's the only way he can sleep

2 under his head
1 under feet
1 under calves
1 under each arm

sleeps like frankenstien on his back with both arms to his side

I sleep on my side, but I found that the only pillows that I can sleep on now are my Mediflow water pillows. I have 2. I don't stack them, I sprawl on my queen sized bed and either sleep on 1 or the other, depending on which is more comfortable for the night.

One is filled with 2 liters of water, the other with 3. So they're a bit different (2 liters is 'softer') to accommodate whatever I feel is more comfortable any given night

Wow...you all put me to shame with the amount of pillows you use!

I have two under my head...the top one is fat and firm. Have to have head high or vertigo visits me.
I have a pillow next to my bed in case my back starts to bother me. It goes under my knees when I'm lying on my back, and between my legs when I am on my side.
My DH has two pillows, one on each side of his head.

Do pillows under the calves reduce spasms during the night? Just wondering how to stop those.

I totally agree! People who only need one pillow, or who don't care what kind of pillow it is, are WEIRD! I cannot understand it!

When I am really unwell, I only sleep on the couch so that I can have the sturdy back support when laying on my side. I've done that for as long as a year at a time.

After my last flare, I noticed my hands and legs were numb/tingly when I awoke. My doc told me it was like a L'hirmettes reaction to having my neck in a bad angle for my lesions. I had to ditch my other two pillows, and now I only sleep with one.

One pillow. High quality down, it can be like many pillows as my needs for support change in different positions.

When the back spazzes are bad, I add a couple for my legs and between my knees.

I confess that I have a down pillow designated to travel, one for bed, one for recliner (the only place I can sleep with vertigo), and one for the couch.

There is also a huge 3ft square pillow my mom made for me that has a loose filling that is shapable. It's almost 33 years old and has been a mainstay in my arsenal all that time.
