Suspended back pillow for maintaining a side sleeping position

A method for maintaining a side-sleeping orientation for an individual alternately on either a left or right side which comprises the steps of:

• a) attaching a back pillow at the back of the individual in a suspended configuration with respect to and substantially aligned with the individual's spine, said suspended configuration including a hinge attachment function which enables the pillow to fall into near contact at either a laterally offset left or right, back side of the individual when the individual is lying on their respective left or right side;
• b) positioning at least one front pillow at a knee and/or front trunk location for establishing at least three different points of contact reference to the individual in accordance with a positional orientation sleep aspect (POSA) for providing a three-dimensional frame of reference for the individual during sleep;
• c) initiating rotation of the individual's back toward the suspended pillow and toward a supine position;
• d) impeding displacement of the pillow along the bed surface and away from the individual's back during rotation;
• (e) partially capturing the back pillow between the bed and lateral back side of the individual while maintaining contact at the front side of the individual with at least one front pillow, thereby blocking full rotation to the supine position;
• and;
• (f) regularly repeating this method during successive nights of sleep for a sufficient period of time to establish a subconscious illusory expectation by the individual that the back pillow will be in a position to block supine sleep positions with the actual use of the at least one front pillow.
