I'm 29+1 and with you there. Lots of pillows is what I use but still up half the night with sore hips and back, plus of course the bathroom breaks. I dread going to bed because I know I'll be awake most the night. But try propping pillows all over and see if that helps at all. I use 1 between my knees, 1 under my belly(between my hip and ribs), 1 to hug (love my cuddle pillow, lol) and 2 under my head. Warning: if you do use that many, rolling over is more difficult than baby already makes it. Good luck!
