Same, if I lay straight on my back for just a minute my bladder will start to nag me to go to toilet and it doesn’t matter that I’ve just peed a couple of times in the last half an hour…
Every single time, yes! Every single damned time when I lay on my back, I have to get up and pee within 5 minutes tops… No small bladder, no UT issues, nothin’…
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.
I’m a side sleeper. Guess I’m doomed.

Doing meditation or other relaxing exercise on my back is usually not so relaxing because of it :/
