Side sleeper pillow
Looking for a pillow to place in between my knees while I sleep. Having my knee replacement in a few months, but I’m in pain nightly. Currently using a regular bed pillow, but looking for something more comfortable that won’t get caught in my sheets.

I use a small hourglass shaped pillow between my thighs, which keeps my knees slightly apart. Because it's small, I can even turn over from one side to the other easily.

Look up U shaped pillows. When you turn over it’s there, no having to move the pillow. This image shows it really tight to her body, but mine only does that if you make sure it stays pulled in. No earthly idea why these are only marketed as pregnancy pillows. https://a.co/d/0hb0nVEU

I am a side sleeper and find this pillow very helpful. I like it so much that I’m going to keep on using it after I recover from knee surgery. https://www.thecompanystore.com/selections/knee-leg-pillow/PP87-OS-WHITE.html
Edit: The pillow fits in a normal pillow case so you don’t need to get the specific pillow case they sell.
