How many pillows?

For me, it's always been a few. I have one of those bulky pillows with the arms on either side, then I have two regulars. So 3 total, but the big one kind of counts for more than one. *shrug*

I use 3-4 depending on how I feel (if hemoptysis then straight up!!!) I also have a body pillow and sleep on my side.

I sleep with just one pillow, but when i am sick or feeling tight in my chest, I use my pillow plus my wedge (i got it from harriet carter magazine, or harrietcarter.com). its called a large bed wedge (19.95 + s/h). I purchased it to use to for posteral (sp?) drainage during CPT, but it works well for propping myself up for sleep.

I sleep on my back or sides, depends on how my breathing is. When I am sick, I breathe easier on my back but I rather sleep on my side (right side preferred since my port can get in the way on my left side). I rarely sleep on my stomache now. If I sleep on my stomache, when I wake up my chest hurts and I can hardly turn my head because my neck is so stiff. Whatever position I fall asleep in that is ususally the position I wake up in. I barely move when I sleep.

I hug a soft pillow and put my head on it. I cant hug any other one. I'm used to this one. I cant sleep without hugging something also.

I sleep with at least 3 pillows. Some nights my breathing is worse
so I have to use 4-5. I really want one of those beds that's
advertised on TV (the orthopedic ones) - that would be soooo nice.

I sleep with three pillows. It used to be more but I have tried to downsize. Also, I agree with you Lindsey, I can't sleep on my back either. There are days I really want to and try to but then I can't breathe at all! I sleep on my right side mostly
