Pillow Suggestions????

I am 20 weeks and I am already having trouble sleeping.  My problem is that I end up on my back all the time and wake up.
I have a body pillow on each side, but this really isn't helping because my pillows move.
Does anyone have a pillow suggestion that helped them sleep better throughout the night?
 
Recommendations are very much appreciated!

    I may be in the minority, but I HATE my boppy total body pillow. It should be called the FLOPPY pillow....very little support offered.

    I used the boppy until around 24 or 26 weeks.  Then it didn't work anymore.  I think it is because we just get larger than a singleton pregnancy and that is what it is engineered for.  So I went to a three pillow configuration.  I had a pillow between my legs, and a pillow under my belly.  I side slept.  And I had a pillow right behind my back so that I could rest back on it and take some of the weight off my poor hips.  That worked until I delivered but in no way was it totally comfortable.

    I love my Snoggle.  It was kind of pricey but worth it!

    I LOVED my snoogle and still use it some. Upsides:You can somehow use it to tandem feed (although I was never able to) Downside:We have a queen size bed and DH didnt have tons of room

    I could never get body pillows to work for me, so instead, I just used a huge comforter and bunched it up under the parts that needed extra support and wrapped it around myself. It worked much better and didn't move as much.

    Thank you for posting this - I'm ~19wks and having the same problem sleeping.  I really didn't expect it to start so soon.  My poor hips ache and I toss from side to side all night.  Right now I'm just using a pillow under my head, and on each side/between my knees.  I was considering ordering a Snoogle or getting an egg crate for the mattress, but I think I'll try the comforter idea first.
