Need tips for sleeping upright :'(

My back is killing me! Has anyone got any tips for sleeping upright?! I already have a v pillow. When can I go back to sleeping on my side?! 🙁 x

I don’t know if this helps at all but I tried sleeping with a V pillow and it propped me up way too much my neck was at an awful angle. I carried on sleeping like that for about 5 days but then I tried normal pillows but had about 5 of them, I was still upright but my neck was still at a nice angle.
I’ve been able to sleep fine now after getting rid of the V pillow! Xx

I have a pillow under my knees as well which seems to help! How long ago was your op? X

Pillows under your arm so your arm can relax and also one under ur bum seemed to help me alot x

The normal pillows helped a lot more than the v pillow, thanks! It was on Friday so I’m guessing I’ve still got ages left of sleeping upright?? 🙁

Hi babe I’m 13 days post and suffered similar problems so, what I did is put my pillows quite soft ones at a slant so I could sleep with my face to the side & I put my v pillow actually under me to stop me sliding! Best thing ever!! Kind of like a boat! I will upload photos in a bit for you x

@danielle246 Hi hun, i slept like this for 5 weeks:
3 pillows (2 of them of duck feather) + V pillow on my back, then: primark home throw folded 4 times placed between the v pillow and half thigh (stop sliding and also dampens the pressure on my butt), then 2 pillow placed under the knees for relieve more pressure.
I know is tricky but no sleeping was driving me crazy so i tried al the possible solutions and this one worked really well for me. Good luck!
