I would suggest buying a couple of big body pillows and a comforter cover. Place the pillows on top of each other inside the cover and place it in the middle of the bed the first night. Depending on how squirmy she is, you may want to get a king sheet and wrap the pillows in it and then tuck it in at the top and bottom of the bed to secure its position. Either way, wrap the pillows tightly enough that it makes a sizable lump (i.e. one that she wouldn't feel comfortable sleeping draped over). Start this on the first night of any time off she has (i.e. Friday is she doesn't work Monday's etc). Keep the pillow in the same position until she has had at least one full night's sleep - in my experience, if they are real squirmers, it will take them a couple of days to get use to it. Once that has happened, move the pillow a little each night BUT if it causes a sleep problem, do not move it any further until she has got use to it again. After about a week, you should feel that you have a comfortable space so stop moving the pillow but do not remove it. After about a week, remove one of the body pillows and see what happens. If she seems to be comfortable and not attemptimg to lie on the other pillow then you can try removing the other one. It sound intrusive but after the first night you get used to it and can even integrate the pillow into various play activities. I had to do this with a sub because we had a huge king bed and were having to move down to a queen temporarily - even in a king she would get the squirms but in a queen it became intolerable.
