I use three pillows while sleeping as I have severe asthma and cannnot breath when lying down flat. I think if you use softer pillows and many, making sure you tuck the top one in slightly under your chin, if you sleep on your side. I think it is good to have your head supported properly as it helps relax the rest of your body. This is just my personal experience, but it works on me.

I have heard people say that sleeping with a pillow is good for your health and I have heard others say that sleeping with a pillow is bad for your health and I think it all depends on what type of pillow you are using because some pillows help give you head and neck support especially if you had neck problems or have bad pains in your neck,and I always sleep with a pillow,because I can not sleep comfortably if I do not have a pillow under my head,and what pillow I use depends on where I am and who is around.

I use pillow when i sleep. I cant sleep at all without a pillow. But some experts says that pillow could cause wrinkle and can cause a person not to have a straight body when walking. But honestly i dont really mind at all lol. If a person is getting old i dont think there is a way you can control your body from having wrinkles unless you undergo surgery lol. I am not so particular with standing up straight either so i dont worry at all. As long as i walk normal and i am healthy, i think that is all that matters to me.

I suppose it would depend on the type of pillow. Some say you can get shoulder and neck pain if your pillow is not the right shape. I don't really know as I haven't experienced this. I have to sleep in an upright position because of a breathing problem so I use three pillows.

Supposedly you tend to sleep more soundly because something softer is proping your head and neck, its supposed to support the body to make you sleep more soundly. It could also be a circulatory thing. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pillow Wikipedia is the closest thing I got to an answer
