I use a wedge pillow. I started using one to alleviate swelling in my legs caused by my medication. I also had lower back pain but that wasn't the primary reason for getting the wedge pillow but it turned out to be great for my lower back pain, too. Now I can't sleep w/o one. I'm also a side-sleeper mostly but the wedge doesn't seem to disrupt my sleep. At first it did but then I got used to it being there and now there's no problem sleeping. The key is to not get a wedge that is too high. The lower the better, especially if you turn to sleep on your side. 

I got my wedge pillow from Amazon but it's not there anymore. Heathex is the brand. It's a 6-inch high flat wedge, not contoured. Here's a pic of the shape:

        This is like the one I have.  Came with a washable cover.  I bought mine from a medical supply store.
