A torso and lumbar support and position stabilizing pillow for a lateral rec umbency position comprising a substantially planar base member, a main body and a lu mbar support member, the main body having a top surface, a bottom surface, an outside sur face and an inside surface. The main body is shaped such that the bottom surface is plan ar and attached to the base member, while the outside surface of the main body is also planar a nd perpendicular to the base member, with the inside surface of the main body being opposite the outside surface and disposed at an acute angle with respect to the base member. Opti onally, the inside surface can be concave to accommodate the natural curve of the spine, allowi ng room for the protrusion of a person's shoulder and buttocks areas. In use, the pillow is placed in firm contact with a person's back and side t o provide lumbar support when a person is lying in lateral recumbency, on their side. In addition to reducing muscle strain, the support pillow also reduces the amount of muscle tension and effort that must be put forth to maintain this position. This results in reduced fa tigue.
