It’s squeeze, and I’d recommend using two pillows or a king size pillow. I’m fairly short, and can use one pillow to hug and put between my legs (as shown in the photo). I like this one to be a wide, soft pillow. And because I haven’t thought of a better name.) This pillow goes between your legs, supporting your upper leg and reducing strain on your hips and lower back. (Full disclosure, Beth coined this pillow name in episode 25 of the Insomnia podcast. This can be any kind of pillow - a regular bed pillow, a bolster shaped pillow, even a large teddy bear would work. Hugging a pillow between your arms will elevate your upper elbow and reduce stress on your shoulder. With no support, you may feel pain in your upper shoulder and back. Once your lower shoulder is supported, your upper shoulder and arm might feel a little left out. Your curves are awesome, and your pillow should be flexible to fit them. So, you need a pillow that will fill all that space, and will mold to shape your curves. That’s a lot of space to fill! No wonder down, or down-like pillows don’t cut it for many people. If you’re a side sleeper your pillow needs to fill in the space between that shoulder, to the curve of your neck and all the way to the top of your head. Waking up with neck pain and a shoulder that feels scrunched is a sure sign your pillow is not providing the support you need. Your neck and shoulders are equally important. It goes under your head at night, but your head is not the only part of your body that this pillow supports.

Do you wake up feeling sore, squashed and tired? You may be able to fix your sleep position by: using more pillows and making sure your pillows properly support your body.
