Could you imagine yourself doing this? Good news is for me is I'm sleeping much better now and while it take some adjusting too I don't wake up with the back pain. With all the pillow products out there i feel a little strange admitting to this.

I'm pillow-indifferent. If it's there, I'll use it; if not, I can do without. Don't feel strange about sleeping without a pillow. My sister sleeps with four pillows, now that's something. My friend has this one pillow though...ugh it feels like heaven! I don't know what it's made of, and I have no idea where she got it, because she won't tell me! (Sadistic witch that she is...) but I steal it from her whenever I sleep over.

Wow, I never know that people can sleep without a pillow. I feel awkward if I have to sleep without one. Sleeping with pillow actually prevent back ache right? No? Maybe I can try it tonight, will get back to you when I wake up.

Getting back to you, I couldn't sleep without a pillow. I feel uncomfortable because nothing was supporting my neck.

I never sleep without pillow unless they are all being washed a thin cushion is better than nothing for me or I just fold a bed sheet enough to support my neck

I used to sleep with 2 pillows and am down to one. I tried sleeping without one and my back hurt pretty badly that way. Everyone's back is different! I have scoliosis and a pillow seems to ease the morning pain. It's been quite awhile since I tried sleeping without one, though, maybe I should try it again.

Well, I grew up never wanting a pillow either. I remember waking up every morning as a child with it off of my bed, lol, sometimes i did use my sister as a pillow, oops, thankfully she got her own bed after that. I also didn't like sleeping on my back and always had to sleep on my stomach so maybe that's why pillows make my back hurt.

I have been sleeping without a pillow for 3 weeks or so now.I had a really bad sprain, right in the middle of my back. I had to sleep without my pillow.Else the pain would get so excruciating that I could not sleep. Now I feel very comfortable sleeping without the pillow.My back is OK now, but I have still not gotten back to sleeping with a pillow under my head.lol

I don't think there is anything wrong with sleeping without a pillow. You should do whatever makes you personally comfortable.

Well, i am also sleeping without a pillow.Somehow I love it because it is much more comfortable and nicer to sleep and less items on the bed and also more space for me to move around. I love spacious sleeping area since I am the active sleeper that moves around the whole night. Furthermore, no more pain all over my body when i wake up too!
