The Restore You Therapeutic Support is an FDA-registered medical device that helps you breathe easier, sleep better, and heal faster. This sleep restoration pillow delivers 6-8 hours of uninterrupted rest from day one—in the comfort of your own bed.
Are You Struggling With Sleep Apnea and Sleepless Nights?
If you suffer from sleep apnea, you know the exhaustion of constantly waking throughout the night. Traditional pillows fail to maintain optimal positioning, causing your airways to collapse and triggering breathing interruptions that fragment your sleep. Many sleep apnea sufferers also deal with CPAP discomfort, chronic snoring, or simply can’t find a comfortable sleeping position that allows them to breathe freely.
Without proper sleep positioning, you experience:
- Frequent waking due to breathing interruptions
- Chronic snoring that disrupts your sleep and your partner’s rest
- Morning headaches and daytime exhaustion
- Difficulty staying compliant with CPAP therapy
- Restricted airways when lying flat or on your back
- Poor sleep quality affecting your health and quality of life
Your body needs elevated positioning and proper airway support to breathe freely and achieve the deep, restorative sleep that your health depends on.
How the Restore You Sleep Apnea Pillow Works

What is the Maximally Loose Packed Position?
Maximally Loose Packed Position (MLPP) is the clinical term for the optimal shoulder and upper body angle that minimizes stress on joints, muscles, and healing tissue. This position reduces pressure on your chest and shoulders while keeping airways fully open for easier breathing.
The Restore You Therapeutic Support pillow maintains this precise positioning throughout the night, something that recliners and generic wedge pillows cannot consistently achieve. Your body deserves the benefits of optimal positioning.
Why Proper Sleep Accelerates Healing
During deep sleep, your body works hard to restore your healing tissues. Better sleep positioning can potentially accelerate recovery by up to 30% because your body can dedicate energy to healing rather than fighting pain, discomfort and interrupted sleep.
The Restore You design ensures continuous support, allowing your body to cycle through all sleep stages without interruption – maximizing your healing potential every night in the comfort of your own bed.

Clinical Evidence: Why Elevated Positioning Improves Sleep Apnea
Sleep apnea occurs when throat muscles relax during sleep, causing airways to narrow or collapse. When you lie flat, gravity works against you—causing your tongue and soft palate to fall backward, further restricting airflow. This positional obstruction is why more than half of sleep apnea patients have position-dependent sleep apnea, where symptoms worsen significantly in the supine (back) position.
The Problem with Sleeping Flat When You Have Sleep Apnea
When you lie flat on your back, gravity pulls your tongue and soft palate backward into your throat. This narrows or completely blocks your airway, causing:
- Apnea episodes (complete breathing stoppages lasting 10+ seconds)
- Hypopnea episodes (partial airway blockage reducing oxygen levels)
- Chronic snoring (tissue vibration from restricted airways)
- Oxygen desaturation (blood oxygen drops that stress your cardiovascular system)
- Sleep fragmentation (constant micro-awakenings preventing deep sleep)
Most doctors recommend either CPAP therapy or positional therapy – and that’s where this bed wedge pillow becomes essential. Left untreated, these repeated breathing interruptions increase your risk of heart attack, stroke, and diabetes by 2-3 times. The Restore You provides the positional therapy component your doctor recommends—preventing airway collapse naturally without machines or masks.
Why Elevated Sleep Position Prevents Airway Collapse
The Restore You pillow for sleep apnea works through a simple but powerful mechanism: gravitational assistance. By elevating your upper body to 30-45 degrees:
- Your tongue stays forward, away from your throat wall
- Soft palate tissue remains elevated, keeping your airway passage open
- Neck alignment straightens, preventing kinks in your airway
- Gravity works with you instead of against you, naturally maintaining airway patency
Clinical research demonstrates that elevated sleep positioning significantly reduces obstructive sleep apnea episodes. This positioning alone can reduce AHI (Apnea-Hypopnea Index) from the “abnormal” range into “normal” territory.
Restore You Therapeutic Support Benefits & Comparison
A properly designed sleep apnea pillow like the Restore You helps by maintaining elevated positioning that keeps airways naturally open. When your upper body is elevated at the therapeutic angle, gravity helps prevent soft tissues in your throat from collapsing backward and obstructing your airway—a primary cause of obstructive sleep apnea events.
Extensive medical research demonstrates that quality sleep is one of the most critical factors in successful surgical recovery and healing outcomes. Studies published in major medical journals show that patients who achieve adequate, restorative sleep during recovery experience significantly faster wound healing, reduced infection rates, and decreased post-operative complications. Research indicates that during deep sleep, your body releases growth hormone and other healing factors that are essential for tissue repair, while also supporting immune system function that protects against infection and promotes optimal recovery.
Sleep deprivation following surgery has been shown to substantially impair the healing process and extend recovery times. Medical studies reveal that patients experiencing poor sleep quality after surgery often face increased inflammation, delayed wound healing, and higher pain levels that can persist longer than necessary. Research specifically examining post-operative sleep patterns found that patients sleeping in uncomfortable positions or experiencing frequent sleep interruptions showed measurably slower recovery progress compared to those maintaining consistent, quality sleep in proper therapeutic positions.
Clinical research supports the importance of maintaining optimal body positioning during post-surgical sleep to maximize healing benefits. Studies focusing on shoulder surgery recovery demonstrate that patients who sleep in the recommended elevated position with proper arm support experience reduced swelling, improved circulation, and faster return to normal function. Medical literature consistently emphasizes that the combination of adequate sleep duration and proper therapeutic positioning creates the ideal environment for tissue regeneration, pain reduction, and successful surgical outcomes. This research foundation validates the importance of using therapeutic positioning devices that help maintain optimal healing positions throughout the critical recovery period.
Standard bed wedge pillows are 24″ wide with no arm support, causing sliding and discomfort within 2-3 hours. The Restore You is 28″ wide with patented extended arm cradles that keep you comfortably positioned for 6-8 continuous hours—the full sleep cycle your body needs. Additionally, the Restore You is FDA-registered as a medical device with medical-grade dual-density foam engineered specifically for therapeutic use. Standard wedges are comfort products, not medical devices. The 4″ width difference and arm support system are game-changers for actually maintaining positioning all night.
The most significant difference between the Restore You and recliner sleeping is sleep duration and quality, with 96% of Restore You users achieving 6-8 hours of continuous sleep compared to the 2-3 hours typically possible in a recliner. Recliners often create pressure points and discomfort that force frequent position changes throughout the night, disrupting the deep sleep phases essential for healing. The Restore You’s medical-grade foam construction and precise therapeutic angles eliminate these pressure points, allowing you to maintain optimal healing position comfortably throughout the entire night in your own familiar bed environment.
Positioning stability represents another crucial advantage of the Restore You over recliner sleeping. In recliners, patients frequently slide down or shift into compromised positions that can stress healing tissues and increase pain levels. The Restore You’s patented arm supports and carefully engineered dimensions prevent sliding while maintaining your shoulder in the precise “maximally loose-packed position” that surgeons recommend for optimal healing. This consistent positioning throughout the night provides significantly more therapeutic benefit than the variable, often suboptimal positions that occur during recliner sleep.
Beyond comfort and positioning, the Restore You offers practical advantages that recliners cannot match, including sleeping next to your partner, maintaining normal bedroom routines, and avoiding the neck and back stiffness commonly associated with recliner sleeping. Many patients report feeling more mentally comfortable and less isolated when recovering in their own bed rather than being confined to a recliner in a living room or separate area. The Restore You also eliminates the need to rent or purchase expensive medical recliners, while providing superior therapeutic positioning that supports faster recovery and better overall sleep quality during your critical healing period.
The Restore You’s most distinctive feature is its patented arm support system, which sets it apart from basic wedge pillows that provide only simple elevation. While regular wedge pillows create an inclined surface that often leaves your arms unsupported and your shoulders vulnerable to inward rotation, the Restore You features specialized arm cradles that maintain your shoulders in the optimal “maximally loose-packed position” throughout the night. These therapeutic arm supports prevent the rounded shoulder positioning and arm circulation issues that commonly occur with standard wedge pillows, ensuring your recovering shoulder remains properly aligned for optimal healing.
Regular wedge pillows typically use basic foam construction designed for general comfort rather than medical recovery, whereas the Restore You utilizes dual-density, medical-grade polyurethane foam specifically engineered for post-surgical therapeutic support. The Restore You’s precise dimensions and foam density ratios have been carefully calculated to provide the exact elevation angle and support firmness needed for shoulder surgery recovery, while standard wedge pillows often lack the structural integrity to maintain consistent positioning throughout the night. Additionally, the Restore You holds FDA registration as a therapeutic device, indicating it meets medical device standards that generic wedge pillows do not.
The clinical validation and patient success rates further distinguish the Restore You from regular wedge pillows, with 96% of users achieving improved sleep quality compared to the variable results typical with basic wedge products. Standard wedge pillows often allow patients to slide down or shift into compromised positions during sleep, while the Restore You’s patented design prevents movement that could compromise healing. The therapeutic support’s singular focus on post-surgical recovery needs, rather than general elevation purposes, has resulted in proven outcomes that generic wedge pillows simply cannot match for patients recovering from shoulder surgery and other upper body procedures.
Elevated sleeping enhances circulation by working with your body’s natural cardiovascular system to improve blood flow and lymphatic drainage from your surgical site. When you sleep with your upper body elevated, gravity assists venous blood return to your heart, reducing the pooling of blood and fluids that commonly occurs when lying flat. This improved circulation delivers more oxygen and nutrients to healing tissues while efficiently removing metabolic waste products that can impede recovery. The elevated position also reduces the workload on your heart, as it doesn’t need to pump against gravity to circulate blood from your upper extremities back to your central circulation.
The lymphatic system, which is responsible for removing excess fluid and inflammatory byproducts from tissues, functions significantly better when your body is positioned at an optimal therapeutic angle. Lymphatic vessels rely on muscle contractions and positional changes to move lymph fluid, and the elevated sleeping position facilitates this natural drainage process. When you sleep flat, lymphatic fluid can accumulate around your surgical site, contributing to swelling, stiffness, and prolonged inflammation that can delay healing and increase discomfort during your recovery period.
Clinical research demonstrates that patients who maintain elevated positioning during sleep experience measurably reduced post-operative swelling and faster resolution of inflammation compared to those sleeping flat or in suboptimal positions. The Restore You’s specific elevation angle has been designed to maximize these circulatory benefits while maintaining comfort for extended sleep periods. This improved circulation and reduced swelling translate directly into decreased pain levels, faster tissue healing, and quicker return to normal function. The combination of enhanced blood flow and efficient lymphatic drainage creates the optimal physiological environment for your body’s natural healing processes to work effectively throughout your recovery period.
Yes – and many sleep specialists recommend using both together. The Restore You can improve CPAP effectiveness by:
- Optimizing head and neck positioning for better airway alignment
- Reducing CPAP mask leaks from poor positioning
- Potentially allowing lower pressure settings (discuss with your doctor)
- Increasing overall CPAP compliance and comfort
Set up the bed wedge pillow first, then put on your CPAP mask. The stable positioning maintains mask seal throughout the night better than sleeping flat.
