Get the Restorative Sleep Your Body Needs to Heal from Surgery.
The Restore You Therapeutic Support can provide restorative sleep after surgery by allowing you to sleep in the comfort of your own bed.
Why Traditional Recovery Advice Typically Falls Short
For years, surgeons have been limited to a single option: telling patients to sleep in a recliner through surgery recovery. Interrupted, uncomfortable rest has consequences:
- Sleeping in a recliner leads to poor sleep – It keeps your body in a stressful position, making it hard to fall into deep sleep.
- Sleep deprivation affects healing – Postoperative sleep is critical for recovery, but trouble sleeping increases pain and slows healing.
- More pain = more medication – Many patients rely on pain medications due to sleep disorders caused by discomfort.
The result? Longer recovery and increased pain. The Restore You surgery recovery pillow provides a better – and safer – alternative.
Tired of Sleepless, Painful Nights After Surgery?
Discover healing sleep after surgery.
For years, patients have been told they had no choice but to sleep upright in a recliner following surgery, enduring interrupted and uncomfortable rest through the night. Restore You provides a better, surgeon-recommended alternative. With Restore You Therapeutic Support, you can sleep in the comfort of your own bed – immediately – and experience fewer sleep disturbances with improved rest for optimal recovery.
Best Sleep Positions for Faster Post-Surgery Healing
Your sleeping position after surgery can either accelerate your recovery or set it back by weeks. When you maintain proper positioning throughout the night, your body channels more energy toward healing instead of fighting against gravity and poor alignment.
Maximally Loose Packed Position (MLPP) for Shoulder Surgery – Orthopedic surgeons recommend the Maximally Loose Packed Position for shoulder surgery recovery. This position reduces stress on healing tissue by:
- Keeping the shoulder joint in a neutral, relaxed state
- Preventing compression of the surgical repair site
- Allowing maximum blood flow to promote healing
- Reducing pain and inflammation throughout the night
How to achieve MLPP at home: Sleep on your back at a 45-degree incline with both arms supported at your sides. Your surgical shoulder should never bear weight or twist during sleep.

Healing Sleep Your Body Needs After Surgery
Avoid the negative effects of sleep deprivation and wake up feeling refreshed. Restorative sleep after surgery is when your body performs the critical work of healing - repairing tissue, reducing inflammation, and rebuilding strength after surgery. Research shows that patients who achieve 7-8 hours of uninterrupted, restorative sleep after surgery experience up to 30% faster recovery times and significantly less post-operative pain. Proper positioning throughout the night ensures your body maintains the optimal healing position.
Just place it in your bed, add your favorite pillow, and sleep comfortably!

Frequently Asked Questions
Recliners are designed for watching TV, not for the 7-8 hours of restorative sleep your body needs to heal. Most recovery patients average only 2 hours of broken sleep in a recliner before waking up with neck pain, back strain, and shoulder discomfort. Restore You delivers 6-8 hours of uninterrupted sleep in the comfort of your own bed – and that difference transforms your recovery.
The Sleep Quality Problem with Recliners:
Limited deep sleep cycles: Recliners keep your body in an uncomfortable position that prevents you from reaching Stage 3 deep sleep – the critical phase where tissue repair and healing actually happen. You may doze off, but you’re not achieving the restorative sleep necessary for optimal recovery.
Neck and back strain: Recliners create new pain problems by forcing your spine into unnatural positions for hours. Many patients report waking up with worse pain in their neck and lower back than in their surgical shoulder.
Restricted breathing: The seated position compresses your diaphragm, reducing oxygen intake and preventing your body from entering the relaxed state needed for deep healing sleep.
Sleep deprivation compounds: After just a few nights of 2-hour sleep cycles, exhaustion accumulates – slowing your immune response, increasing inflammation, and extending your overall recovery timeline by weeks or even months.
The Restore You Difference:
Your own bed comfort: Sleep on your familiar mattress with your own pillows and bedding – comfort your brain associates with rest and relaxation.
Proper surgical positioning maintained: Our patented design keeps your shoulder in the Maximally Loose Packed Position throughout the night, eliminating the fear of rolling onto your surgical side.
Full sleep cycles achieved: Patients consistently report sleeping 6-8 continuous hours, allowing their bodies to complete multiple deep sleep cycles where accelerated healing occurs.
Clinical outcomes: 96% of patients experience better sleep quality, and the improved rest enables a 50% reduction in pain medication needs during recovery.
Recovery timeline impact: The difference between 2 hours and 8 hours of quality sleep per night can reduce your total recovery time by 25-30%—meaning you return to normal activities weeks or even months faster.
Bottom line: Your body does its healing work during deep sleep. Recliners prevent deep sleep. Restore You enables it. That’s why patients who switch from recliners to Restore You immediately notice the difference—and why surgeons increasingly recommend sleeping in your own bed with proper positioning support from day one.
The Restore You Therapeutic Support can be used immediately after returning home from shoulder surgery, rotator cuff repair, or shoulder replacement surgery. Always follow your surgeon’s specific post-operative instructions.
Buy Before Surgery for Best Results
We recommend ordering your Restore You before your shoulder surgery. Here’s why it matters.
When you get home from surgery, you’ll need immediate comfort. Having your Restore You ready means no waiting period during those critical first days of healing.
You’ll also have time to:
- Practice positioning while you’re still mobile
- Set up your bedroom for recovery
- Read the instructions without post-surgery fatigue
- Get familiar with the support before you need it
The Best Timing
Order 1-2 weeks before your scheduled surgery. This gives you enough time for delivery and preparation without rushing.
What If I Buy After Surgery?
You can absolutely purchase after your procedure. But here’s the reality: most patients struggle more with initial setup when they’re already dealing with pain and limited mobility.
The numbers tell the story. 96% of patients sleep better from night one when their Restore You is waiting at home after surgery.
Will This Work for My Surgery?
The Restore You supports the healing position recommended by orthopedic surgeons for most shoulder procedures, including:
- Rotator cuff repair
- Shoulder replacement surgery
- Reverse shoulder replacement
- Arthroscopic procedures
Always check with your surgeon about positioning requirements specific to your procedure.

Setting up the Restore You correctly ensures you achieve 6-8 hours of uninterrupted healing sleep—the foundation of faster recovery. Proper positioning allows your body to reach deep sleep stages where tissue repair accelerates naturally.
Quick Setup for Optimal Sleep Position:
For Shoulder Surgery (Rotator Cuff, Shoulder Replacement) Position the support arm to align with your armpit. This maintains your shoulder at the optimal healing angle throughout the night, preventing painful shifts that disrupt sleep cycles.
For Breast Surgery (Mastectomy, Reconstruction, Reduction, Augmentation) Position yourself slightly higher in the support to reduce chest pressure while maintaining therapeutic elevation for uninterrupted rest.
For Heart or Chest Surgery (Cardiac Procedures, Lung Surgery) Position the support arms slightly lower to accommodate chest restrictions while keeping you elevated for easier breathing during sleep.
For Arm or Elbow Surgery Standard positioning naturally elevates and supports your recovering arm. Add a pillow under the affected arm for personalized comfort.
Fine-Tuning for Better Sleep Quality:
Use strategic pillow placement to enhance comfort:
- Behind your head for optimal elevation
- Under your knees to reduce back strain and promote relaxation
- Under your recovering arm for additional support
- Between your legs if side-lying helps you sleep
The Sleep-Recovery Connection:
Your goal is finding a position you can maintain comfortably for 7-8 continuous hours. When positioning feels right, your brain can fully relax into deep healing sleep instead of staying in light sleep stages guarding against movement.
Always Follow Your Surgeon’s Guidance:
Your surgical team provides procedure-specific requirements for:
- Required elevation angle for optimal healing
- Weight-bearing restrictions during sleep
- Positioning duration based on your procedure
When to Adjust Your Setup:
Modify your positioning if you experience:
- Pressure on surgical sites that interrupts sleep
- Numbness or tingling during the night
- Difficulty maintaining comfortable position for 4+ hours
- Waking frequently due to discomfort
Most patients find their ideal sleep position within 2-3 nights. Small adjustments to pillow placement make a significant difference in achieving the uninterrupted restorative sleep your body needs to heal faster.
