You and me both; the advice that worked ok for me is a pillow between the legs and proper placement under the head that keeps everything level.
They also suggested we get the softer mattresses, since we want a little extra dip for the shoulders and hips. That advice is a mixed bag, though, as I still get shoulder pain. Might be the cheap foam, though.
I got very lucky and found the perfect mattress for this, it has a softer exterior layer (about 5-6cm of cheapo smartphoam) and something tougher at its core, perfect balance between smushy enough to accommodate an elbow, firm enough to keep things tidy. No-name mattress from an Ikea knock-off, it was a steal.
Struggling with pillows, though… Still haven’t managed to find something which works for me… Plenty of blankets to wrangle with my legs, so there’s that, at least.
