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.
