Had an accident, my slipped disc had a relapse and it's damn painful.
Now my back becomes a sensor for poor posture or anything that hurts it again.
This might be useful, here are the best sleeping postures for different issues.
I can say they are absolutely correct and my best position for my situation right now is to sleep sideway with a pillow between my legs to keep the legs balanced. What's important is which side should you be facing.
Actually slipped disc is more common than most people think and people at 30-50 yo are at the biggest risk.
If your left leg/buttock and/or your left back hurts.
The disc is actually protruding to the right side and is pinching onto the nerve.
So you will need to sleep on your left side, allow gravity to pull the stress off the disc hitting on to your right nerve. To keep it simple, if your left side is hurting, sleep on your left side and vice versa if it's hurting on the right.
I'm short of a firm bolster so I'm making an order right now.
Ordered the Latex Bolster from Getha.

Quite a reasonable price at SGD78
Europeanbedding is selling theirs at SGD178
Can't find any from Mylatex and don't think the price will be far from Getha.
