Abstract

A pillow system (400) comprises a curved main pillow (402) having a pillow body having a midsection and a pair of ends (418, 420). The pillow body is curved and is both flexible and firm to permit it to wrap around a user. A curved side pillow (404, 406) is operably attached to one of the ends of the main pillow (402) such that the side pillow is positionable around the user's side and back when the main pillow is placed adjacent to the user's stomach. The side pillow (404, 406) has an inner portion near the main pillow (402) and an outer portion away from the main pillow. The side pillow tapers downward in height from the inner portion to the outer portion.
