I don't think this is the primary reason for the body pillow.

It acts as support for people who sleep on their side.  People who do
that tend to bend the knee of the leg on top, and move it forward so
that it's supported by the mattress.  This can seriously tweak
your back out of shape.  The body pillow provides support for that "upper"
knee, so you can sleep with a straight back.  No more morning backaches.

I think the Company Store catalogue sells these.  Try 800 information.
