What is the rationale behind the pillow between the legs?
- cleetus 8y agoAt least for me it's comfort - I don't like my boney knees knocking into each other.
- wmblaettler 8y agoProbably to help align the hips and lumbar spine, otherwise the top leg would twist your pelvis and spine with the downward pressure.

- shakestheclown 8y agoI have heard before another reason is that it can help keep you from rotating into a different position. That's why I do it. Without the pillow I have 0% chance of staying on my side.
- leeeeech 8y agoThe pillow is probably activating a reflex to press the legs together. In other news, it's the Stabile Seitenlage [1] from first aid! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recovery_position https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recovery_position
