“My husband just had open heart surgery and was told not to lie flat to sleep. He tried, but this pillow was too much of an incline. We had to return it and get him a much lower wedge pillow.”
“Both my shoulders are messed up - one already a reverse total replacement (way less pain than before) and the other goes under the knife next week. The surgery definitely remedies the ongoing arthritic pain, but I still need a comfortable way to lounge in bed, even sleep when I get upper respiratory congestion. I bought several wedges over the years, but mostly they are much the same and none are really comfortable after 40 minutes or so. Forget sleeping on them. And all are narrow (20-21"), so both arms hang off unless I cross them on my torso [and duct tape them there]. This product is SO comfortable. I admit after a couple of days, I was a bit stymied as to where to stow all 4 pieces when not using them. However, those 4 pieces make this product so flexible and tailored to your needs and preference, minute by minute, day by day. The back support is 25" wide - my shoulders actually fit on it. Study the photos of the back support: the molded shape (which reminds me of my old Calculus text) lets you customize your sitting angles and degree of tilt from the mattress surface. The back wedge can also be placed in several ways to customize those options further. All surfaces of the back wedge are textured so it does not slip or slide after placement; same for the back surface of the back support. I really think the manufacturer needs to create a video (not a quickie 30-second one) that actually shows many of the alternative positions possible with just the back wedge and support. I actually looked online (to no avail) for at least a user guide recommending placements. I never used a knee wedge before this, but it is really an asset for napping. And the simple wedge that resembles a velveteen Lincoln Log is wonderful as a head/neck rest and also as a elevation aide for my yet-to-be-augmented upper arm and shoulder. If you like lounging in bed to watch TV, read, crochet, knit, etc. - the purchase of this wedge support system is well justified.”
“Trust me it's perfect for a guy or gal in good shape or was young and had open heart surgery it's perfect. The only way you can sleep in a bed and not a recliner all night.”
“This thing was essential in surviving my mommy makeover which I traveled out of state for. I was able to use the included vacuum bags and it fit in one side of my suitcase, and the other side was left for all my other clothes. It made staying in a hotel, laying in bed recovering for two weeks before I could go home totally doable. I didn't need any additional pillows to prop myself up and was able to sleep no problem every night! Would recommend to anyone having a tummy tuck and/or breast augmentation!!!!!!”
