Claim:
A method for using a support pillow, comprising: providing a support pillow comprising: a pillow body having a medial region and two opposing arms that form a well region, a first side and a second side, wherein a center plane bisects the pillow body between the first side and the second side so as to form a center line midway between the first side and the second side, wherein the pillow body further includes an outer periphery and an inner periphery outlining the well region, wherein the pillow body further comprises a fill material and a cover enveloping the fill material, wherein the cover comprises: a main section that extends about the first and second sides and the outer periphery, and a center panel coupled to the main section so as to be located along the inner periphery, wherein the center panel is constructed of a woven fabric having two grain directions that are generally perpendicular to each other and a bias, wherein the woven fabric is generally non-stretchable in at least one of the grain directions, and wherein the center panel is coupled to the main section such that the bias of the center panel is substantially aligned with the center line; separating the arms from each other; placing the support pillow about a user's torso; and placing a slipcover over the support pillow, wherein the slipcover includes a central panel constructed of a woven fabric having two grain directions that are generally perpendicular to each other and a bias, wherein the woven fabric is generally non-stretchable in at least one of the grain directions, and wherein the central panel is coupled to the main section so as to be substantially on the bias.
