Legit question, what's the reason for wanting to sleep in what seems to be an uncomfortable position for you?

I also can't sleep on my back but have no urge to change that.

I have a lot of shoulder issues that are worsened by sleeping on my side or stomach. I also have a flat spot on the side of my face from always sleeping on it, and it gets worse the older I get. I'd like to be able to use overnight skin treatments without it getting all over my pillow.

Wonder if making some kind of custom shaped bed (ie from memory foam) might be a useful solution?

Fair enough. For what it’s worth, I fixed shoulder problems with a combination of mattress, pillow and arm position thought the latter is less important.

I don’t have a flat face (yet?) though I can see how that could be annoying.
