Cushion for feeding in bed...for my back

I’m due in 4 weeks and already dreading the bad back I got last time whilst feeding at night, due to rubbish support behind me in bed. I’m planning on breastfeeding, and would love to hear of any recommendations for a really supportive comfy pillow that means I can sit up in bed comfortably and feed. I have a V pillow but find it’s not supportive enough, especially after a C section.
Thanks in advance x

I build a fortress of pillow behind me with a John lewis v pillow supported by my normal pillow at the bottom and a square pillow at the back of the v-pillow (so there's an l-shape behind the v-shape).
And tried to remember to lie along a foam roller when I could - being careful of not overusing abs (haha "abs" post baby) to get up/down.

I found that feeding lying down and using one of those contoured memory foam pillows was the best. I know it might be a little while before your baby is feeding lying down though.

Following as literally just looking for pillows now

I use 3 normal pillows with 2 horizontal and the top one vertical so it supports the length of my back and I can also lean my head back on it.
