Shoulder Sleeper Pillow
- - Dedicated arm channel keeps your shoulder in a neutral position
- - Machine-washable outer cover
- - Available in Left and Right arm versions
The Shoulder Sleeper Pillow is indicated for use by individuals experiencing:
- Post-operative recovery from rotator cuff repair, SLAP repair, labrum surgery, shoulder replacement, or clavicle fracture
- Frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis) or impingement syndrome
- Chronic shoulder pain, bursitis, or tendinitis
- General shoulder discomfort during sleep
- Stroke rehabilitation requiring proper arm positioning
- Post-mastectomy recovery and lymphedema management
Always consult your physician or physical therapist before use following surgery.
- ArmBar™: Prevents excessive motion of the shoulder and arm while sleeping on your back and side by limiting range of motion.
- Pressure Point Relief: Reduces areas of high pressure on ulnar and axillary nerves to prevent numbness and tingling. This is why the Shoulder Sleeper is specifically designed to allow the elbow to "float" above the corner of the pillow.
- Body Curve: Conforms to the shape of your body to move with you as you change positions between back and side-sleeping.
- SecureStrap™: Secures the pillow and arm in place during sleep, eliminating the need for a neck strap.
- Breathable Cover & Comfortable Foam: Built for comfort from the inside out, with a soft, breathable cover and medical-grade foam.
- Available in Two Sizes: Small/Medium (5'0"–5'10") and Large/XL (5'11"+) for a precise, body-matched fit.
- Left & Right Versions: Designed specifically for your affected shoulder — not a one-size-fits-all solution
Slide your arm into the padded channel and secure the waist strap at a comfortable tension. Position the pillow against your mattress and headboard, then lie back so your shoulder rests in the supported channel.

Support for Pre-Op Patients and Injury Recovery
Whether you're preparing for surgery or working with a physiotherapist to recover without one, Shoulder Sleeper helps stabilise, align, and protect your shoulder during the hours when it’s most vulnerable - while you sleep.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you have to have surgery to use The Shoulder Sleeper Pillow?
No. The Shoulder Sleeper Pillow was designed for shoulder surgery recovery but is also helpful for anyone with shoulder pain, stiffness, or limited mobility. Patients recovering from injuries, breast cancer surgeries with drains, lymphedema, or stroke have also found it improves comfort and sleep.
Does The Shoulder Sleeper completely replace my sling?
Yes, the Shoulder Sleeper Pillow can act as your sling for sleeping, resting, and moving comfortably around the house. Depending on the activity, your surgeon may still recommend a traditional sling. We always suggest consulting your doctor if you plan to walk long distances, leave your home, or do physical activity.
How soon after surgery can I start using the Should Sleeper Pillow?
Most patients start using the Shoulder Sleeper Pillow the first night after surgery. It helps keep the arm supported and prevents rolling into painful positions. This is especially helpful after shoulder surgeries, mastectomies with drains, or conditions like lymphedema where arm stability during sleep is critical.
What surgeries are the Shoulder Sleeper Pillow Safe For?
The Shoulder Sleeper Pillow is commonly recommended after rotator cuff repairs, labral repairs, total and reverse shoulder replacements, dislocations, and fracture repairs. It can also provide relief after breast cancer surgeries involving drains or reconstruction, and for patients managing lymphedema or limited arm movement after a stroke. Always confirm with your surgeon or physician for your specific case.
Can I use the Shoulder Sleeper on both arms?
Each Shoulder Sleeper Pillow is designed for one arm at a time (right or left). If you need support for both arms at different times, for example, after multiple procedures or during rehabilitation, you’ll need to purchase one for each side.
Will it help with non-surgical shoulder pain (rotator cuff, arthritis, bursitis)?
Yes. While the Shoulder Sleeper was designed for post-op recovery, patients with rotator cuff injuries, arthritis, bursitis, or chronic shoulder pain report better sleep and reduced nighttime discomfort. It’s also useful for people with stroke-related immobility or swelling from lymphedema.
Can I wash the cover? Is an extra cover available?
Yes, the cover is removable and machine washable. We highly recommend air-drying the cover instead of using a dryer to preserve its fit and fabric.
Many patients add a second cover so they can rotate during recovery, especially helpful after surgery, lymphedema, or drains, where cleanliness and convenience are essential.
When will I get my order?
We will work quickly to ship your order as soon as possible. Once your order has shipped, you will receive an email with further information. Delivery times vary depending on your location. The majority of our shipments are delivered within 3-5 Business Days.
How much does shipping cost?
Shipping is calculated based on your location and the items in your order. You will always know the shipping price before you purchase.
