I am both a back and side sleeper. Per recommendation from my PT, I now sleep with a pillow for my legs: behind my knees when sleeping on my back and between my knees when sleeping on my side. Since I MUST use a relatively soft mattress to avoid pressure points, the pillow helps keep my back in a more neutral position. It not a panacea by any means, but it helps some. The only (very minor) negatives are having to change its position whenever I switch from back to side and having to re-set its location every morning when I get up and straighten my bedding.
