Side sleepers -- what do you recommend?

MellsBells

I woke up this morning with my first back/hip pain experience. I'm already a hardcore side sleeper, so I didn't know if I'd end up needing another pillow or two. I don't like the idea of the giant Snoggle pillow because I already love the pillow that goes under my head ... I just need something for my knees/belly, and it seems that most of the stuff is made to help back and stomach sleepers.

So what's your miracle pillow?

I go the boppy full body pillow. I just put the head part on top of my regular pillow. It's the only reason I get any rest at all.

I use a down pillow on my right side to keep me from rolling onto my belly (I'm a belly sleeper usually).  I like that it forms to my belly area and makes a nice little "nest" for it.  As for hip pain, I used this during my last pregnancy, and I will use it again when/if my hip pain returns during this pregnancy:

i've always slept on my side and just used a king sized pillow or reg. body pillow, but once the pains started the only thing that's made me more comfy is my snoogle, the other pillows just didn't cut it anymore.

hubby loves my snoogle as well, and since he's on the night shift he's started sleeping with it durning the day when i'm up.

So far all I've done is jam the blanket between my legs. It's been comfy. We'll see how I feel once I get really big though.

Regular body pillow from Bed bath & Beyond.  20 bucks & it's fantastic.  It's easier to switch from one side to another with it, too.

I just have a regular body pillow. It supports my belly and I put it in between my legs.

I have the boppy full body pillow but I saw in the little book that came with it that they make one that doesn't have the head part...just the belly and between the legs part...you might try that!  here is the link to it on their website...

I have a regular (straight) body pillow that I got cheap at BBB and use to to sleep either on my side or partially on my stomach. It really helps with hip pain.

I have the Leacho pregnancy pillow and it works well for me

Great suggestions, girls! I'm off to look at your links. Last night I used an old down pillow between my knees and was surprised at how much even that helped!
