I miss sleeping on my stomach so much, as i got older my neck just wont allow it, but that was the best sleep of my life. I have 3 daughters in their 20's who sleep on their stomachs and all of them complain about neck and back pain. I tell them to change their sleeping positions while they're young and so they don't create permanent problems.
I turn so much I would loose all the pillows and rolls. Shoulder pain and low back pain. This is the give away I would love to win! Thanks for the information.
Indeed, and to make matters worse when you're asleep most of your pain receptors go offline, it's why I was able to chip my own teeth biting down at night without feeling it. If I were awake at the time, I'd never be able to do that without intense pain. At least the one for the low back can be tied there so that it's not going anywhere as you roll around, but I personally need something for the neck more than anything else. The only thing I can think of is that perhaps if you've got this right you won't roll around a bunch.
Try a weighted blanket, it keeps my body from wrestling at night. Before I had to adjust my mattress each morning and sometimes my head pillow was at my feet or on the floor. After I got the heavy blanket it is very minimal.
Sometimes you roll all over the bed because you are uncomfortable. Try the towell roll and other tricks they suggest and see if that helps befor purchasing something, but give it a try for some days, don't expect to work perfectly the first night.
So grateful to have found you guys! Laid down Saturday night and for the 1st time in my life (just turned 40) I suddenly had crazy hip pain. Haven't been able to sleep for 2 days and have had to use a cane. I'm going through your videos looking for everything I can (also watched your video on how to properly use a cane as I had zero clue.) One thing though is my mattress is super old and very recently started giving me lower back pain. As someone who hasn't had health insurance for 20 years I'm grateful you two share so much information online for free, especially for those of us who've been left behind, medical insurance wise.
AND. Side sleepers, if you roll/scrunch your top arm inward & put pressure on your chest, as I do, you may develop wheezing & pressure on sternum. My sternum was so tight & painful I wouldn’t let my chiropractor adjust it.
Wow! The very same thing I have been dealing with!!! Got figure! Every bone and muscle hurts. It’s been such a hurt in my life, that I can’t explain!!! Thanks for this for this video!!! It’s as if you live in our Living Room!
I’ve been watching you 2 for years and you have helped me TREMENDOUSLY. I really appreciate the music and the quotes you two use-you’re making a dent in the Universe! I have hypertonic pelvic floor, interstitial cystitis, and endometriosis. Lots of back and hip pain-and I have lost 200 lbs, naturally. My husband and I recently bought a bed via the internet and are in major pain. The bed is too firm and I try to mitigate it with a pillow beneath the knees. We can return it-hopefully easily! I cannot tell people enough, try before you buy! 1/3 of your life is worth looking around! We are looking for a new mattress! Will definitely check out this one. ❤️
Omg the past 2 days i have been waking up with severe neck and shoulder pain and i was suspecting it could be my pillows and sleeping position. And so bizzarely freakish of you to post a video about that. And this isnt the first time you have posted a video that seems telepathic
I've been using these techniques with success for a few years now, pretty sure I picked up a few of them from you guys in a previous video. Thanks so much for all the helpful tips over the years. When I found you I could barely walk even with regular care. I have gone from spending the day in bed to being able to do light duty work, after 14yrs of trying to get a diagnosis. I had all the MRI's and stuff, but doctors couldn't figure out anything for me. The internet, people willing to share knowledge to effect a positive change in the world and good research skills have saved the day! A heartfelt thanks to both of you and your team. Your videos offered significant pain relief. I endured almost all of those years without medication for pain. It's such a pleasure to be able to feel something good... fully, because pain can't rob me of my blessings anymore. I am already saving to get myself the bed. Winning one would really help our Christmas!
Im a side sleeper and for several reasons I sleep in a recliner. I use a travel neck pillow that stays in place and I try to keep my bottom leg straight with the top leg slightly bent, It’s more comfortable than sleeping in a bed for me.
Sleeps on my left side and yes my whole left side, from foot-knee to hip is messed up. But no pain. Ever since I stopped working out or too much walking, I'm fine. I NEED A NEW MATTRESS!! Mine is 25 years old.
This is great. The only thing about keeping my neck more in line with my spine when on my back is I have post nasal drip. Hopefully you can do a sleep video for people with post nasal drip. Thanks! 🙏
I usually sleep with two pillows under my head and my leg bent out to side two bad habits no wonder I feel stiff and sore in morning. I'm usually watching TV before that's why I have two pillows before falling asleep definitely need to follow these suggestions.
When I was a kid I loved sleeping on my stomach. Never had any issues. Then one day as an adult I woke up on my stomach and couldn't move. Sleeping on my stomach causes so much lower back pain for me. Even the pillow trick doesn't work.
Thank you for all these tips, Im told I have a rotator cuff impingement on my right shoulder nerve damage on my shoulders up into my neck neuropathy in my face bones first in my spine deteriorating discs and holding discs and my spine and sciatica pain with fibromyalgia neuropathy in my face hands and feet. I'm definitely going to try all of this it's 6:44 a.m. and I haven't gone to sleep yet because laying down hurts.
I sleep on a 12 year old foam mattress with no frame and I’m guessing it’s part of my problem. A pillow between my legs helps some. Whoever wins will be lucky!!
I started watching you after fracturing my lesser tronchanter with an avulsion of my illiospoas muscle. I've slept on my couch for at least the past 8 years. Would love to find a mattress to sleep on that doesn't make me hurt or arms fall asleep.
not the video for me, I sleep on my stomach both arms above my head, always have....but for me to sleep is more important,but love you videos ,have helped me many times.
You guys are awesome but this is like a SNL skit with all these towels and pillows I feel sorry for the first one in the shower in the morning,they'll be drying off with their jammies 😂
Hello Bob and Brad. In several of your sleep videos I see when in the stomach position your feet hanging over and off the bed or mattress. Most people being under sheets tucked in at the foot of the bed or with tight footboards cannot hang their feet and sleep on their toes or with angled feet. Recommend you address any issues arising from this foot position.
I am a stomach sleeper, been so all my life. I'm 65 now.. I have great range of motion in my neck turning to the left but much less to the right, but no pain.. I do get low back pain though,.. I try to switch to my side for at least 1/2 hour before getting out of bed to minimize the low back ache. I have never been able to comfortably sleep on my back.. it makes my knees hurt. >: ( Love your channel !
. I tried doing some of the exercises, for sciatica, you two showed in another video and I got stuck on my stomach on the floor. Thank God I had my phone in my pocket or I'd have been screwed. I hurt so bad that I literally cry from the pain. I had what I assumed was sciatica probably 5 years ago that was persistent for a good 3 years. It just went away. Just over two weeks ago my lower back went out, gets to where I can not move. The sciatica pain just joined in about 3 days ago. I hope someone sees this and can give me advice that works. A brace or something.
Hi 👋 from Australia 🇦🇺 Can’t talk about if your back is out., .,(I Wld get a scan and go from there,, see yr doctor., ) But re the sciatica., I got dragged by a horse (a storm came in and lightning spooked my horse and she reared and I got unseated and fell Off with my foit in the stirrup) .. she galloped with me attached for a couple of miles home. I Cldnt move for 2 weeks but I actually didn’t break anything and I had a hard riding hat on which helped when my head bounced home, .. the trip did however shake things up a bit., but from time to time I get sciatica especially if I’m Driving Long distances without lumbar support Anyhow I’ve tried them all.., chiropractors, physio, osteopaths, even a surgeon (I didn’t use him) but In desperation I sought out an acupuncturist., a real one with real needles not the laser-type one. The guy works magic ., it took a few sessions to fix it but he did... not thinking .. I had to drive 10 hours a couple of weeks ago,, and for the first time in yrs my sciatica blew up really really badly ,, so much pain and nauseated., anyhow I went back to a purist acupuncturist., took 2 visits over 5 days but it’s gone. I have to go back I eve more I swear by acupuncturists.. So I’m just a normal person ., don’t have any medical degrees but I can only say what helped me., so maybe you cld try acupuncture coz I found everything else useless,, ! 🇦🇺🐨🐨👍🏼
I think the most important thing is to see a doctor, gets scanned and get a confirmed diagnosis, you can easily mess up a self diagnosis as so many conditions, especially pain causing ones, can be SO similar it’s simply too hard to differentiate them. Since your symptoms are so severe and dangerous/able to immobile you, it’s crucial you get a doctor involved and a clear diagnosis. Just looking up Sciatica on Wikipedia it says 90% of cases are caused by disc herniation, so that’s something you can’t ignore or self treat. You might have an underlying condition causing it that’s degenerative, if so you want to know so you can try and slow down the degeneration. The wiki also mentions surgery is sometimes necessary for cases that don’t heal in 6 weeks. I know doctors are extremely expensive and I also avoid seeing them if I can for that reason, but your case sounds like it requires a professional involved to assure you properly recover.
Thank you for your videos - they are so very helpful! I purchased an adjustable bed frame and have much better sleep with less morning discomfort. Unfortunately the mattress does nothing to help me sleep cooler. Being a woman of a certain age doesn’t help either! 😂. Thanks again for the excellent videos, advice and humor! Janice in Alaska
Wow did not know you could biy an adjustable bed frame by itself. I bought an adjustable bed with mattress it's expensive hurts my body and I cannot get a good night sleep on it for months. I even had a sciatic nerve flared up! Seems like I can't win
@@NansGlobalKitchen sounds like you got the wrong mattress? I purchased mine first of the year, took the firmest one I could get. I feel so much better, no morning stiffness. I suffer from back, should and neck pain. I'll never sleep on anything but an adjustable bed from now on.
@@NansGlobalKitchen The mattress I purchased is foam and very comfortable. It was supposed to draw off your body heat but that didn’t happen, although I can see where I slept during the night.
I’ve been sleeping Propped up on three pillows for about three months because of Vertigo , but now my whole lower half hurts😕 now I’m dealing with lower back, leg and foot aches and pains🧐
I have a wedge pillow and that helps me. I sleep on my left side because of my Vertigo is in my right ear. The wedge makes me feel secure. Also I have been taking vitamin D for 8 months now and it helps too.
Hubby still has a waterbed but took to the couch last night as his back's flared up, it's nice to laze in but I do find it difficult to fall asleep in myself!
It actually helps gift support and comfortability. Of course in any situation sometimes if it’s done incorrectly you could experience pain however overall we like this technique
OMG... I toss and turn and get up several times a night... trying to reset all those pillows and rolls would keep me awake for most of the night. Sleeping comfortably should not be that complicated. All that being said... thanks for the ideas.
I sleep on the couch, by choice. Much better to help with my personal pain. I’ve found that the separations the three seat cushions provide act as a natural wave to support my back….and my arm can slip into the “valley” between the pillows when my golfer’s elbow (actually leaf-raking elbow!) flares up. Makes me wonder why mattress companies haven’t tried to market a mattress that comes in sections with specific densities to address the exact issues the guys talk about in this vid.
Guys can you make a video specifically about insertional achilles tendonitis? I heard that threatment for insertional achilles tendonitis is slightly different than the midportion one.
Thank you for the canal idea. I broke my humerus neck/head. I' ve been sleeping on my right side for 10 weeks and I like to go back and front from my left to my right to left and finally to my right to slumber. I've been trying to figure out how. Never thought to ask at PT. I'm trying this tonight!
Interesting But so much stuff to do to go to sleep. I have c spine issues. I don’t think I would put all that in bed with me. Oh my! I wear a soft cervical collar at night. My body seems to let me know if I am in a good position. I will try a little of this. Thank you!
Absolutely enjoy your channel .. you help me with all the expert advice, teaching and techniques you share with us.... BUT.. just fyi.. the giveaway link isn’t working tonight .. awesome try tho .. thank you both an everyone who works on your channel ..
I'm curious as to whether you have any videos for people with Harrington rods in their spine that were implanted to correct scoliosis. I have issues with sciatica lately (also sleeping positions) and all of the exercises and stretches I've been doing haven't seemed to work when my spine is fused to two metal rods. Would be great to see you do some videos for people such as myself.
I don't think that sleeping on your stomach is rare... I have slept like that my whole life, with one leg bent and the other straight. I do have low back and cervical pain, but it's soooo hard to change that habit. I managed to keep the position even when 8 month pregnant 😅 creating a U with pillows to park my belly in the middle. I would love it if you could get into more detail on healthy options to sleep on your stomach. Stomach sleeping makes you feel protected and it's very hard to let go of that feeling 😪
You did not tell us, at least I did not hear, the name of your mattress. I broke my back in 2017 fell this month broke my hip. I needed to know the Meek method. At 80 will try.
NO!! Do NOT ever sleep on RIGHT SIDE. When you sleep on RIGHT side, your stomach is higher up, literally ABOVE your throat. That allows for any liquids to trickle out, while you're trying to sleep. ALWAYS lay on your left side. Doing so will also allow the 'pocket' to cradle the heart where it should naturally be. (Don't forget to place a pillow between knees, OR thighs.) You'll discover exactly how thick it should be, & whether it should be four to six inches high. HUGE, FIX for any acid reflux pain, issues (dental enamel chipping off, etc.) Sleep well..... NOW that you know this. 😇
Where can I find your neck support pillow tube? I checked your info and there are no links for it. Thank you for your wonderful and informative channel.
Here are the links for the products shown in this video: 1) McKenzie Night Roll Lumbar Support: amzn.to/2mg9yLZ 2) McKenzie Cervical Roll for support during sleep: amzn.to/2YM0Fb0
The internet owes you. You're both a treasure to human kind

I'm the same, lol.
You’re very welcome. Sometimes stuffing pillows under each side of you helps as well and then when you roll around they don’t fall off so easy
Surround yourself with body pillows. After a few nights, you’ll get used to sleeping still.
Your channel has helped me so much. I'm approaching my mid-40s and all kinds of things are changing. Little aches and pains are catching up with me.
We are very happy to be able to help!
The trouble is, once I fall asleep my body does what ever it wants.

PT: "Try adding another pillow"
me: 8 pillows later...
PT: "yep, that should do it"
Sounds about right ;)
pillows are our friends :)
I used to sleep on my side all my life until just recently it started hurting my hips. I’m a back sleeper now.
I've always had bursitis in my hips. I accidently got a softer mattress instead of a firm one and my bursitis went away. So comfortable.
Im a side sleeper and for several reasons I sleep in a recliner. I use a travel neck pillow that stays in place and I try to keep my bottom leg straight with the top leg slightly bent, It’s more comfortable than sleeping in a bed for me.

Like ur sense of humor. And very informative video. My mom was telling me her shoulder hurt when she slept thanks to this video I solved the problem.
Awesome :)
Love this! Can you do one for during pregnancy? Feels impossible to get comfortable in bed in the last trimester of pregnancy.
I will add this to our to do list
Love you guys. Such great info all the time!!!
Thanks!
Actually went mattress shopping yesterday, but are eating to find just the right one. So glad I did...looks like I'm causing the pain on my own. Ty!
Great advice as someone who sleeps in every possible position.... thanks again guys :)
What I learned from this video is that I don't need a bed, I need a box full of pillows that I can push around to wherever I need them.
Pillows are our friends ;)
If you "add a roll" to the neck area for support, does that stop the blood flow?
I sleep on a 12 year old foam mattress with no frame and I’m guessing it’s part of my problem. A pillow between my legs helps some. Whoever wins will be lucky!!
Thanks for the information. I have scoliosis so I live in pain. Thank you so much for the giveaway!!
yes! Good luck in the giveaway!

Happy to help!
Yes I give myself back spasms from sleeping wrong. Heatpad on it right now
Maybe you should watch this video on back spasms! ruclips.net/video/f_c33V9tJBc/видео.html
Could sleeping on your back w a pillow under the knees cause knee pain or hip pain over years?
I dont want to say definitely no.
But having a pillow under the knees is what these 2 recommend.
It actually helps gift support and comfortability. Of course in any situation sometimes if it’s done incorrectly you could experience pain however overall we like this technique
Just purchased McKenzie cervical support pillow, hope it works.
I hope so too! We would love to hear how you like it, if you would let us know via email at customerservice@bobandbrad.com
Hey guys, thanks for the tips. The mattress and pillow links don't work 😬
OMG... I toss and turn and get up several times a night... trying to reset all those pillows and rolls would keep me awake for most of the night. Sleeping comfortably should not be that complicated. All that being said... thanks for the ideas.
So, I'm a left side sleeper, and 2 years ago I fractured my humerus. I'm going to try the canal tonight!
If you add a rol to neck section it will circulate blood flow

I’ve found that the separations the three seat cushions provide act as a natural wave to support my back….and my arm can slip into the “valley” between the pillows when my golfer’s elbow (actually leaf-raking elbow!) flares up. Makes me wonder why mattress companies haven’t tried to market a mattress that comes in sections with specific densities to address the exact issues the guys talk about in this vid.
Thanks for sharing!
Sometimes I tuck my neck to deep that o start coughing you guys should make a video on that cause of coughing from sleeping position
I will add this to our to do list, thank you for the suggestion!
@@BobandBrad your welcome and thank you for the many great videos that you give us we all love you guys keep it up
I sleep on a TempurPedic adjustable bed. I sleep with my head slightly elevated and my knees elevated. No matter what I try I still wake up in pain.
Sorry to hear that. Hopefully pillows will help ?
Guys can you make a video specifically about insertional achilles tendonitis? I heard that threatment for insertional achilles tendonitis is slightly different than the midportion one.
I will add this to our to do list
Thank you for the canal idea. I broke my humerus neck/head. I' ve been sleeping on my right side for 10 weeks and I like to go back and front from my left to my right to left and finally to my right to slumber. I've been trying to figure out how. Never thought to ask at PT. I'm trying this tonight!
What more could I ask for? Great information, a few laughs and eye candy!!!
Thanks!
Would love to see a review of the MedCLine pillow. I have had a shoulder replacement and that would be a huge help.
I will add it to our to do list
Brad needs to take his shoes off before going to bed 😀. Thanks for the info gentlemen.
That might be more comfortable you are correct! 😂
I would love 1 of these mattress i have hip pain when i sleep on my sides.
I would like to get this bed.. I'm stiff in my traps ache alot not comfortable..need a pillow to
Interesting
But so much stuff to do to go to sleep.
I have c spine issues.
I don’t think I would put all that in bed with me.
Oh my! I wear a soft cervical collar at night.
My body seems to let me know if I am in a good position.
I will try a little of this. Thank you!
You'd be surprised at how comfy it really is. I know it may look like a lot, but pillows are our friends :)
Thank you
You are very welcome
This video is making me so sleepy
I love it
Right! Brad didn't want to get up lol
Tight iliopsoas causes low back pain when sleeping on back so stretch them.
Absolutely enjoy your channel .. you help me with all the expert advice, teaching and techniques you share with us.... BUT.. just fyi.. the giveaway link isn’t working tonight .. awesome try tho .. thank you both an everyone who works on your channel ..
I have Ehlers Danlos Syndrome so I’m always getting tweaked during the night while I sleep.
Thank you Bib and Brad
I like the mattress, but it looks way too soft for me! I like my mattresses firm!
Same for me, and since I am dealing with sciatica a firm mattress is better.
Thanks. I found out the problem. A pillow under my back. Hopefully I can get back to sleep. Yay. Sux more hours of sleep. 😱
The intro song always make me laugh
That’s one thing the few times I’ve been in the hospital they lay u flat I can’t breath like that I need to be propped up a bit 🤦🏼♀️
How can you get in bed with all those pillows. They would end up swinging on the light shades!!!
The whole night you won't sleep, fixing pillows, balls, towels and what not!!
But you the best!!
I'm curious as to whether you have any videos for people with Harrington rods in their spine that were implanted to correct scoliosis. I have issues with sciatica lately (also sleeping positions) and all of the exercises and stretches I've been doing haven't seemed to work when my spine is fused to two metal rods. Would be great to see you do some videos for people such as myself.
I don't think that sleeping on your stomach is rare... I have slept like that my whole life, with one leg bent and the other straight. I do have low back and cervical pain, but it's soooo hard to change that habit. I managed to keep the position even when 8 month pregnant 😅 creating a U with pillows to park my belly in the middle.
I would love it if you could get into more detail on healthy options to sleep on your stomach. Stomach sleeping makes you feel protected and it's very hard to let go of that feeling 😪
Thank you 🙏
You are very welcome :)
This mattress can save my life, i want to buy it.
I guess I need to buy more towels. 🤷🏼♀️
You sure are a treasure. I've learned so much from you guys. Keep the videos comin!
Thank you so much for your gratitude and kind words
The Pillow Talk Video is the best 👌.
That is crazy. The pillow under your knees, good. I couldn't sleep with all of those pillow in the bed
12:03 that moment when Brad gets super tired and comfortable from laying on his belly.
Anything if u used your bicep area like a pillow & now tricep area has pain? How it got into that twist is beyond me.
I need that mattress 🛏️
Love the videos. My friends and I are always joking about the number of pillows we’re up to every time we talk.
I love the bromance.
You did not tell us, at least I did not hear, the name of your mattress. I broke my back in 2017 fell this month broke my hip. I needed to know the Meek method. At 80 will try.
Funny video guys! Amazing I get any sleep at all-I do it all wrong....
NO!!
Do NOT ever sleep on RIGHT SIDE.
When you sleep on RIGHT side, your stomach is higher up, literally ABOVE your throat. That allows for any liquids to trickle out, while you're trying to sleep. ALWAYS lay on your left side. Doing so will also allow the 'pocket'
to cradle the heart where it should naturally be.
(Don't forget to place a pillow between knees, OR thighs.)
You'll discover exactly how thick it should be, & whether it should be four to six inches high.
HUGE, FIX for any acid reflux pain, issues (dental enamel chipping off, etc.)
Sleep well..... NOW that you know this. 😇
Any advice for waking with a migraine…think it’s a neck thing.
Maybe I could come to your cabin and try out that mattress.
Where can I find your neck support pillow tube? I checked your info and there are no links for it. Thank you for your wonderful and informative channel.
Here are the links for the products shown in this video: 1) McKenzie Night Roll Lumbar Support: amzn.to/2mg9yLZ
2) McKenzie Cervical Roll for support during sleep: amzn.to/2YM0Fb0
Oh, how my husband despised the pillows I used!🤣🤣🤣😂🖖🖖😘
lol
@@BobandBrad Thank you both for all of your help!
Maybe I missed it, what about lower back pain
How often should a mattress be replaced?
mattresses usually have a 7-10 year life expectancy
His face on the first page looks hilarious. Give the man an Oscar 😜
Pain in neck and shoulder blade. Just all the way down - please address this
Here are a couple videos that may help: ruclips.net/video/UoVPGhEOHf0/видео.html and ruclips.net/video/HwDeTD8DtaU/видео.html
Tried accessing the links to the mattress and pillow and it doesn't work 😭
