I sleep on my side, and my ear gets all smushed in the pillow and "goes to sleep." Is the indention in this pillow deep enough for ears?

I think the indentation is intended more for the neck, but the pillow's surface has enough give so I've never felt my face was smashed when sleeping on my side. I can't be sure it would be adequate for your needs. Sorry I could not be more helpful.

I bought this pillow for my Grandchildren (ages 13 and 10) for Christmas because they were rated 5 stars. The indention is for your neck and might help with your ear discomfort. They will not travel without them. I have not personally slept on them, but I know how much they love them and they are oh, so soft and maluable, and I am all about comfort with my bedding. I Hope this helps!

I sleep on my side as well. The indentation is basically to cradle your neck. Your head rests on the main part of the pillow just like any other pillow. I haven't had any problems with my ear going to sleep, but then I never had that problem with a regular pillow.

Yes, it is perfect for side sleeper. I used to get a smushed up ear until I starting using this pillow.

Definitely not. For me, I found that with a buckwheat pillow that my head would stay in the same spot throughout the night, largely preventing me from spending the night tossing and turning. That was my experience with this pillow, hours of head rolling side to side trying to find a "spot" I liked.

I have not been able to get comfortable on this pillow. I am a side sleeper but did not sleep much. I tried for a week but am not using it anymore.

It did it for me, to the extend that you position the 'J' hook correctly and right under your chin - while the other lateral sides of the pillow are in their intended place 1) pinned tight behind the back of your head and 2) tight against your right cheek. Feel the under-chin area yourself, you'd notice that it's a soft tissue area (no bone or large muscle there), so it's not terribly comfortable for the J hook to fit under there, for sure. Realize that our heads are quite heavy to be perfectly held up with a soft pillow. But this comes close to doing so, with some effort.

Not sure. Sorry. Not overly happy with pillow. Kind of uncomfortable and noisy.

Yes. However, the sound protectors are bulky enough that they might be uncomfortable during sleep. They would certainly inhibit sleeping on one's side. I suspect ear plugs or ear buds might work better because they will likely be more comfortable.

Yes. I believe you would be very comfortable. In fact, the pillow is in my bed and I sleep on it the part of the night that I'm on my side. I still don't use it when I sleep on my stomach, but it is a VERY NICE pillow and squishes down very well.

I find that when I sleep on my side, I end up with my head in the hole, too. I sleep like that intentionally with no problems. If I want to side sleep and keep my head elevated, I turn the pillow around and sleep on the "top" part. Both ways work well for me and I am very pleased with this pillow!

I sleep in mine all the time. With my ear in the pillow sometimes the marshmallow type cushion will close off and the sound will bemuffled, but I just move my head a bit until it opens up again.The other cushions don't do this but I find the marshmallowsmore comfortable. I pretty much live with these in my ear. ;)

I found I could not hear thu my pillow. I did enjoy, while sleeping on my side, laying one on my ear, not the ear on my pillow. Unfortunately, eventually a wire must have broken next to the plug. I no longer get sound from either speaker.

I also sleep on my side but have used this pillow only 5 or 6 times. So far it has been fine... no problem with my ear. Hope that helps.

No, it keeps it's shape well through the night. It is a firm pillow, maybe too firm for some people. I personally like side sleeping with it though I tend to back sleep most of the time.

You could, however, the size of the earmuffs would be a hinderance if you attempted to sleep on your side. I believe using them for sleeping is a hit and miss proposition.

The trapezoid indentation is so low, that I'm unable to place my head in the indentation without my head tilting in an awkward / downward angle. The instructions to the pillow indicate that the areas to the left and right of the indentation are used for side sleeping. I've found these areas are unusally firm and my ears become sensitive after several hours of sleeping on these areas. In addition, after 2 - 3 months of using the pillow I believe the "small" version might have been better for me (I'm 5'5" tall).

Absolutely, positvely not. I tend to be a light sleeper, thus the pillow can find itself on top of my head to muffle sounds (just enough for my nose to poke out to breathe). Never a wiff of anything foul or chemical-like.

Hi Kiki, regarding this pillow, I really like it a lot. As a person who sleeps on their back, it's very comfortable and really helps my chronic neck pain but using this pillow for sleeping on my side doesn't work at all for me. It's not comfortable and my face does slide back into the center of the pillow. I hope this helps you. Sandy

It would depend on how loud u had ur music, it does to some point...great sound but if ur a side sleeper like I am, its hard on the ear cuz the speakers r bulky
