A device and method for enabling an individual located on a bed to sustain a side-sleeping orientation on either a left or right side. The device comprises a light weight, elongate pillow having a longitudinal axis and being configured to rest at a back side of the individual when reclined in a side-sleeping orientation on the bed. The pillow includes attachment structure which is positioned along a longitudinal edge of the pillow to secure the pillow to the individual. The attachment structure provides sufficient flexibility to allow the pillow to rotate with respect to and rest against the individual's back to a laterally offset and suspended configuration in general alignment with the individual's spine. The method includes the steps of attaching the light weight, elongate pillow at the back side of the individual positioned in the side sleeping orientation on the bed and with pillow contact laterally offset from the spine between the back side of the trunk portion and the pillow, thereby capturing the pillow between the bed and back side of the individual upon attempted rotation of the body to a supine sleeping position.
