The Science of Sleep Positioning
How Shoulder Sleeper Works
Our patented design created to protect your shoulder while you sleep.
Key Features
Prevents excessive motion of the shoulder and arm while sleeping on your back and side.
Reduces areas of high pressure on ulnar and axillary nerves to prevent numbness and tingling.
Conforms to the shape of your body to move with you as you change positions between back and side-sleeping.
Secures the pillow and arm in place during sleep, eliminating the need for a neck strap.
Unlike a one-size sling, each pillow is configured specifically for your left or right shoulder for aligned, side-specific support.
Built for comfort from the inside out, with a soft, breathable cover and medical-grade foam.

Everything You Need To Know
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you have to have surgery to use The Shoulder Sleeper Pillow?
No — the pillow is not exclusively for post-operative use. Individuals managing shoulder pain, stiffness, or reduced movement benefit similarly. This includes those recovering from injuries, breast procedures with drains, lymphedema, or stroke-related conditions.
Does The Shoulder Sleeper completely replace my sling?
No — the pillow is not exclusively for post-operative use. Individuals managing shoulder pain, stiffness, or reduced movement benefit similarly. This includes those recovering from injuries, breast procedures with drains, lymphedema, or stroke-related conditions.
How soon after surgery can I start using it?
Yes, it functions as a sling substitute during sleep and rest at home. Medical professionals may recommend traditional slings for extended walking, outdoor activities, or exercise.
How do I choose the right size?
Two options are available: Small(5'0"–5'10") and Large(5'11"+). Upsizing is recommended for comfort when between sizes. Swelling or post-surgical drains may also necessitate the larger size.
What is the Ultimate Bundle?
The Ultimate Bundle includes the pillow, one month of post-operative nutrition, pre-operative amino acids, and a shaker bottle for comprehensive recovery support before and after surgery.
What surgeries is it safe for?
Common applications include: rotator cuff repair, labral repair, shoulder replacement, dislocation repair, fracture repair, breast cancer procedures with drains, lymphedema, and post-stroke mobility limitations. Surgeon confirmation is always recommended.
Can I use one pillow on both arms?
Each device supports one arm (right or left). Multiple units are necessary for bilateral support at different recovery stages.
Will it help non-surgical shoulder pain?
Yes. Rotator cuff injuries, arthritis, bursitis, chronic pain, stroke-related immobility, and lymphedema-related swelling all respond positively to this support system.
Can I wash the cover?
Yes — the cover is removable and machine-washable. Air-drying is recommended over machine drying. Extra covers are available for rotation during recovery.
