@Oostende So glad that the pillows worked for you. I was so surprised when the wedge worked for me since I tried so many other things. Isn't it great to have an open mind and be receptive to new ideas? I'm grateful to all the women who have shared their health and fitness tips with me throughout the years.

I did notice when I had my double knee replacement that when I had to sleep on my back during the first month of healing, I had much less eye puffiness.... I notice now that in the morning I have more puffy on the side of my face that is on the pillow.

It is extremely hard to sleep in only one postition all night long. When I HAD to sleep on my back after knee surgery, I did not sleep well at all.... so perhaps not sleeping good VS less puffiess may not be the best thing overall for your health... just good for your vanity.

I only have one night behind me, but I will say it wasn't hard for me because I could still lie with my legs on either side.

That helped shift my position and I turned my head from one side to the next.

I starfished my arms or brought them in.

The only part of me that remained in mostly the same position was my shoulders, which were flat.

I'm sure it's not for everyone but I really didn't lie in the same position all night.

wow, i'll have to agree. i've been a side sleeper almost all my life, and when i got older, i realized i had more aches, pains and puffiness. i thought it may be my pillow, until i changed pillows and things remained the same. so i thought to sleep on my back, and the aches and pains went away. so did some of the puffiness. i was so surprised. i miss sleeping on my side because i feel it's more comfortable, but sleeping on my back does me better.

Following my recent retina surgery, I have had to sleep with my face down (on a rented contraption). It was the most uncomfortable position ever! I noticed my eyelids were both puffy and mentioned it to my son. When we returned for my second post-op, he asked the surgeon about my puffy lids. "The fluids have accumulated in your mother's facial tissues. When she's able to lie on her back, that puffiness will disappear."

Ever since my husband's death, I've ceased sleeping on my side (no longer have someone to cuddle/spoon with). Have been a back sleeper since 2005. Perhaps that's why I have little to no wrinkles? IDK Interesting post!

I sleep so deeply, there's no way I can control my position.

I start on my stomach so DH can rub my back. LOL!!!

I sleep on my right side the most but I do toss & turn all night from side to side. I tired to sleep on my back but I always wake up on my side.

I cannot sleep on my back,always on my side. I think it's more important that I get to sleep and stay asleep than what position I'm in. I look alot worse for the wear if I'm up half the night. 😵

I sleep on my back about 95% of the time. It's the most comfortable position for me. I wake up in the same position that I went to bed in. My husband is even amazed that I rarely ever move. We're all so different!

IMO ... Any position that lets you be comfortable and sleep is the BEST POSITION!

I believe the back sleeping is better for your facial appearance. But I just cannot do it. Long stretches of back sleeping always give me a massive headache. I'm a hard core side and stomach sleeper. Ultimately I'd choose happy sleeping versus looking better, even though I can't believe I just said that since I'm terribly vain. Sleep is everything to me.
