I posted about it before, but Sandman removed my post. I assume he felt it was too much of a commercial for the product. He runs a great site which provides a great service, so what can I say?

Anyway, the product was a specially formed pillow that was designed for people who sleep on their stomachs. It had a cut-out in it where your face went and it was supposed to keep your nose pointed straight down and your spine in proper alignment. If you have been to the chiropractor or masssage therapist or the like, you get the idea.

If you are handy, you could probably make one yourself out of foam.

Be advised however, that unless you have a sleep study using such a contraption, you may be lulled into a false sense of security.

Hope it helps.
