I'm interested in your pillow thickness comment. Do you have any more information about that, like a study?
I used to sleep on a very thin pillow since I was a stomach sleeper. As I've aged, I end up on my side and back more, and I had to get a thicker pillow.
Get yourself one of these. Adustable to however thick you like just by adjusting the water.
Can that handle a cat's claw?
Probably not.
Dammit
I've always wondered what stomach sleepers do with their face. Like don't you end up being unable to breathe or rubbing your nose and mouth on the blankets? Also is your neck not crooked to compensate for that?
I wish I were able to sleep on stomach or back so that I could sleep symmetrically, I think it would be better for me if I could fall asleep that way. But the sleep just doesn't come... unless I'm sideways in a fetal position, and only on one side (left side).
When I was a kid, I somehow managed to breathe through my pillow. Or I'd prop up my forehead on the pillow and rest my chin on the mattress which left enough room to breathe.
Now as an adult, when I do sleep on my stomach, my head is turned to the side. My neck is horribly crooked, but that doesn't seem to bother me. In fact, when I fall asleep, I apparently roll onto my back, and tilt my head to the side (perpendicular to the rest of my body). My wife has told me I'm a creepy sleeper since it looks like my neck is broken or is at an absurd angle. I somehow never wake up with neck pain.
I'm not living in that country.
Lolwut.
Does your holier-than-thou country not believe in peer reviewed science?
Might not be able to afford it?
Sure, but no one asked about studies from a specific country, we just got an unsolicited "tut tut" for no reason. I can live in Germany and read Canadian articles all I want. This particular poster just doesn't have an open mind about the world.
