Resting in a lying down position

Body: 

At night i sleep with one pillow, but during the day when resting or watching tv lying down at night, i like to use two pillows arranged in a layered position. Is this advisable to use 2 pillows or will it interfere with the natural lying down position of the spine?

Hi Mishek

I think your body will tell you if you are doing something not OK. While resting awake we can easily listen to our body and rearrange it at will, whereas while we are asleep we are less likely to rearrange it if it is uncomfortable.

I would think it would be fine to use two pillows for a while, as long as you don't have to deal with a lot of coughing or other generators of intraabdominal pressure.

Organs only get blown out of position if something pushes them. If they are at rest there is not a lot of problem.

Thankyou so much Louise for your reply - that's a great help to me.
