This is the most comfortable and most recommended way to sleep if you're pregnant. It really helps take the pressure off your back when you're sleeping, and keeps your spine straight. My fiance sleeps with a pillow between his legs also, so I don't think it's just women. It helps his back to sleep with a body pillow between his legs. You should try it sometime!

To keep there spine and pelvic bones aligned when they sleep on their sides.
Obviously womans hips are wider than a mans, so when a woman sleeps on her side, without a pillow the leg that is on top is actually at an awkward angle. The pillow lifts the leg that is on top to a more natural position.
Imagine standing straight with both your legs angled to one side. Hurts after a while.

Some sleep with a pillow between their knees/legs just for comfort... it adds a sense of security, the same way having another person in the bed does. =]

I do that too and I don't really know why - if my bolster isn't around (e.g. in a hotel room during a vacation), my knees actually "hug" one of my boyfriend's thighs. I won't be able to sleep if I didn't have a bolster.
But I'm pretty sure not all women sleep with something between their legs.

If i want something between my legs when I sleep, I reach over and grab my husbands body and drape my one leg over him and go back to sleep.
The stuffed animals stay on the pillow that my head is on.

Can be a comfort thing, can be a posture thing....
They sell body pillows for adults to sleep with. It's not weird, it's just another position as would be like sleeping on ones back.

It helps the back. I went to the chiropracter and he said to sleep with a pillow between your legs because it alligns the hips and back. And some girls also might find it comfrotable.

To take the stress off their backs. I have lower back problems and a pillow between my knees when I sleep on my side helps align my spine and relief the stress on my back.

It keeps thehips aligned and you sleep better. Sometimes it is just for the fact of not liking the feeling of your knees touching.

It makes me feel secure and sleep better. I like to cuddle - I don't have a boyfriend or husband so yeah, I need something to cuddle with :)
