I absolutely love my body pillow. It's one of the best Christmas presents hubby ever gave me. I lie on my side with the top knee and arm on the body pillow. It helps keep the spine aligned and my leg in one plane. I used to wake up with the top knee hurting.are you using a body pillow
I was out of town for a class and staying at a hotel. I managed to get 5 pillows. Two on each side, and one for my head. I could turn from side to side and not have to move my pillows. That was the best part of the whole trip.
