One thing I'm finding out using the side pillow is that it was perfect when sleeping flat, but when side sleeping with the head of my bed elevated, I woke up with neck pain. In that position, the pillow seemed to be too fat. I'm thinking of ordering the neck pillow in one size smaller than what TP recommends for my neck size, to use for side sleeping when I raise the head of the bed. Don't know if that's a good approach or not. These pillows are so dang expensive that it's scary buying them just to try to see if something will work and then not have it work.

Do any of you find that you need a thinner pillow when you side sleep on an adjustable bed with the head elevated?

I often use the lower side, regardless of the position of the adjustable bed. My shoulder sinks in so much, it provides enough support for side sleeping, and it's also low enough for stomach sleeping, which is nice. Actually, works well for lying on my back too.

I do use the high side for times I want to force myself to only sleep on my side.

I hated it. It was like sleeping on a balloon.

I use the low side of my side pillow for stomach sleeping too. I can't wait to get the neck pillow. I think the low side of that one might work a little better for me in the inclined position than the low side of the side pillow. I also plan on getting the comfort pillow eventually. I tried that one in the store and loved it. Between those 3 pillows there should be something for any position I choose to sleep in. Now I just gotta get my new bed.

You must be rich!!!!

Ha! I wish! There is no way I can afford Tempurpedic's retail prices for most of their stuff. When I started with a cheaper TP mattress, I did buy it at retail. Didn't work out so I got my one exchange. The replacement didn't work out, and I was out of exchanges, so I sold it on Craigslist and made a $55 profit over what I paid. I thought I was going to have to take a loss, so that was good. Now I'm out of store exchanges and can't afford retail for the bed I want as it's much more expensive, so it's coming from a place that buys stock from stores going out of business, and I'm getting $1,000 off retail, new in the box. I paid full price for one pillow ordered from TP's site at $108. The other 2 pillows won't be bought until I get a good price on Ebay or Craigslist. Many people are selling pillows now, because of the deal TP had last month where you get 2 pillows free with a mattress. People got the free pillows when they bought the mattress, but don't want the pillows. They are all over Craigslist.

My adjustable base was also bought on Craigslist. Paid $600, sold the mattress it came with for $500. Base was only 1 month old. So total paid for that was $100 after selling the mattress. It's not a TP brand base, but it works just as good. Also sold my old spring bed for $300. All totaled, even after paying the restocking fee for the first mattress, I'm ahead by $28.  I'm on a small fixed disability income, so I've had to learn how to get the best deals and how to re-sell at a profit if it doesn't work out. It means a lot of waiting and haggling, but that's the only way to do it if you're low income.
