Intro: Side Sleeper Pro Pillowcase

So I bought a side sleep pro pillow and after putting a pillowcase over it I realized you can't use it correctly with a regular pillowcase because you can't fit your shoulder in properly. So I went about making my own. My sewing is still really crappy but enough to do the trick. Please be gentle with my sewing skill and poor planning.

Materials:
-Fabric
-Sewing Machine
-Pen, paper, scissors

Cost: High: $10
Low: $0

Time: High: 1 hour
Low: 2.5 hours

STEP 1: Cut Out the Shape

Pic#1: Cut out shape on newspaper

Pic#2: Cut

Pic#3: Pieces cut out

STEP 2: Sew Inside Out

Start at the bottom corner of the long side of the pillow. I followed how the pillowcase that came with it. I left that rectangular portion for last.

Pic#1: Where to start and finish

Pic#2: Leave some material when you begin because thats where you'll close at

Pic#3: One side finished

STEP 3: Sew on 2 Pieces for Pocket

Pic#1: Before pocket, I cut off that excess for a one of the two pieces

Pic#2: 2 pieces cut out

Pic#3: Sewed the edges

Pic#4: Just wanted to finish so I didn't go into detail

Use the excess on both sides to sew on the inside the two pieces, one of the pieces should overlap the other

STEP 4: Finished

It is!! I have a problem with a lymph node on my rt side behind my ear and this pillow has been a God send!! No more problems sleeping due to the hole for the ear!

I had a problem with my siatica and bought one of these and haven't had a problem for over a year now!!! I now own 2 of these pillows. They are the greatest since sliced bread! ; ) Now that I have found your pillow cases I am really happy! Like butter on the bread!! I will let you know when I make mine to let you know how easy it was or I will take you up on the offer to place an order, Thank you for posting this!!

Hmmm, it feels nice, supports your head well because theres no gap of pillow between your shoulder and head but....I guess I like to squirm around when I sleep and when I wake up I'm not sleeping on my side. It only works if you sleep on your side, so if you move around its an very oddly shaped pillow.

I'm also a restless sleeper, but the side pillow feels so good on my neck. It encourages good posture in sleeping and less likely to awaken all twisted in a knot as my neck and shoulder were back in January. I have been dealing with extremely painful muscle spasms ever since. I encourage people who even think they might like it to try it. I bought mine on ebay for $16.23, and it was flown to me here in New Mexico! I do not know how the seller made a penny on it!
