Under most conditions the average person goes to bed, takes the pillow that is there and gets a good night sleep. But there comes a time or in some cases many times in a person's life when there is a special need for pillows.
Both sleep and rest are important and if the body cannot get comfortable there may be a need for a special bed rest pillow. These pillows are designed to provide extra support where needed to relieve pressure on the body.
One of the most uncomfortable times of a woman's body is during pregnancy. A living body is growing within her belly and the center of gravity that she has grown up with is thrown out of kilter. This is even more pronounced when she lays down and finds her belly pulling her in new directions. Here, a bed rest pillow can be placed into position to adjust and support the growing belly. Without it rest can be illusive.
When a person is confined to a bed for long periods of time, a bed rest pillow or collection of pillows can be used to relieve the pressure on the body. Without these pillows sores can form and the skin actually start to break down.
Examples of how these could be used are:
leg support when on one side
back support with pressure when on one side
arm and or shoulder support and pressure relief
relief from neurologic pinching
relieve pressure from carpal tunnel or rotator cuff damage
wedges for neck, shoulder, back and leg support when reading
If you are having trouble getting your rest at night, do not be afraid to experiment with your bed rest pillow.
Sometimes a person will do much better with a hard or firm pillow. Other people find that a soft pillow helps conform to the shape of their body more. For example if you are troubled by arthritis in the knees, a firm pillow placed under the knees will support them above the mattress and keep pressure off of the joints.
Bed rest pillows will provide extra support, although how much you need it is often a personal matter.

I've found using a bed rest pillow to be really great. I like to read in bed and also watch television and always used to prop my pillows up behind my back when sitting up. But, the pillows don't provide much support and I always ended up slipping down the bed and getting back pain. My new best rest pillow gives me great support and makes watching the game a pleasure.
