Are there differences between pillows designed for back vs stomach sleepers?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sleep pillows: There shouldn't be much of a difference. These body or positional pillows are primarily designed to help people avoid sleeping on their back. They help people to sleep on their sides or stomach as a way to reduce breathing problems that are associated with sleeping on one's back.
