I suffer from acid reflux(Take prilosec and Zantac) I sleep on two pillows on my right side.
Prilosec is a sanity pill for me.
I try to avoid the foods that give me acid reflux at night, but when I don't it's baking soda or swallowing a whole tums tablet.
As for sleeping, I generally start out on my left, but have to swap a number of times, mainly from my left arm going numb. I turn, and grab a pillow to support the left arm. Maybe use a pillow between the legs to relieve pressure on the knees at that point.
I'll go back and forth, generally ending up on my right, remembering how I have to reach backwards for the alarm, more often than not.
My 3-year-younger brother slips with his fitbit. I'm jealous of his minimal sleep interruptions.
I make some weird noises at night and can wake myself up. I think the noises are from my eating ice cream after dinner. Change what you eat and you will sleep better.
I tried many types of pillows and bought a few mattresses and found this works for me. I have no back pain from this topper.
Get the 2” latex topper. I did and I choose the soft latex which lays on top my firm mattress. It is like sleeping on a cloud.
Just perfect for my 5’ 11” 185lb self.

The next mattress I get will be a all latex one as conventional mattress ALWAYS end up with body shaped divits!
Latex bounces back in original shape. What I am looking at maybe getting. I had already bought 3 mattresses in past 8 years and was disappointed in them so hopefully this latex one will be the one.
Zenhaven mattress - You can use both sides. Expensive but I already spent this amount for 3 poor conventional mattress’s.

I also changed what pillows I use. I bought two 1.75” high latex pillows and put on a pillow protector and then a pillowcase. I choose latex as it stays cool and pushes back gently to support your head. The memory foam I had before would not support my head and was too warm. I have them in a pillow protector and a pillow case. I use one when on my back and two when on my side. The normal pillows you see are just too high for me.
Slim Sleeper - Natural Latex Foam Pillow. I bought 2. I use one when on my back and 2 if I am on my side.
