THE PROBLEM: SLEEPLESS NIGHTS AFTER SURGERY
If you’re preparing for shoulder surgery – or already recovering from one – you know the sleep challenge ahead. Most patients spend weeks in a recliner, barely getting 2 hours of consecutive sleep per night. You wake up stiff, exhausted, and in more pain than when you went to bed. Many patients face these common struggles during recovery:
- Waking up every 1-2 hours in pain and discomfort
- Developing neck and back pain from sleeping in a recliner
- Feeling exhausted during the day due to poor sleep quality
- Struggling to maintain recommended positioning throughout the night
- Dealing with increased pain and swelling from inadequate rest
- Feeling frustrated by the recovery process
You deserve better. Your body needs restorative sleep to recover properly, and there’s a proven solution that lets you sleep comfortably in your own bed from day one.

How Our Surgery Recovery Pillow Works
Our post-op pillow uses dual-density medical-grade foam to keep your shoulder in the Maximally Loose Packed Position (MLPP)—the optimal angle recommended by orthopedic surgeons for shoulder recovery. This therapeutic positioning:
- Keeps you elevated at ideal 30-45 degree angle
- Supports both arms comfortably
- Prevents rolling onto surgical side during sleep
- Reduces pressure on the surgical site
- Maintains proper alignment throughout the night
The Science Behind Better Recovery Sleep
Restore You surgery recovery pillow maintains MLPP positioning, crucial for post-surgical shoulder care. This position minimizes stress on healing tissues by supporting your body at the proper angle, our recovery pillow helps you:
- Reduce swelling and inflammation during sleep
- Minimize pain upon waking
- Maintain surgeon-recommended positioning
- Get the deep, restorative sleep your body needs to recover
