Surgery is stressful enough. Set up your sleep environment before your procedure so you can recover more comfortably from night one.
Preparing for Shoulder Surgery?
Start With Better Sleep.
Poor Sleep is Not "Just Part of the Recovery"
Most patients don't think about sleep until they're home in a sling, exhausted, and already uncomfortable. Don't be that patient. Set up your sleep environment before surgery so you come home ready to rest and recover from night one.
Most slings are designed for standing — they lose all support when you lie down.
Many patients end up sleeping upright for weeks because they can't lie flat safely.
Nighttime rolling is the #1 fear — uncontrolled movement can cause recovery setbacks.
Surgery anxiety compounds when you don't have a plan for the basics — like sleep.
The Shoulder Sleeper Pillow
Start recovery prepared. The Shoulder Sleeper positions your arm at the optimal post-surgical angle — keeping your shoulder supported and protecting your shoulder while you sleep.
- Supports the arm at the optimal recovery angle
- With our Wedge Pillow, you can sleep in your bed the first night after surgery
- Prevents you from rolling onto your surgical site and delaying recovery
- Reduces nighttime shoulder pain
- FSA/HSA eligible

Prepare Everything for Coming Home
You'll want to go straight to bed when you get home from surgery. Make sure your sleep environment is 100% ready — pillows in place, ice packs in the freezer, loose clothing laid out.
- Freeze your ice packs
- Lay out button-front shirts (easier with a sling)
- Test your full sleep setup one final time
You're ready. Recovery starts here.
You've done the hard part — planning ahead. Now secure your setup and sleep easy.

Preparing for Surgery Bundle
You're home, you're in a sling, and it hurts more than anyone told you it would. Now you're trying to build a sleep setup out of couch cushions and throw pillows at 2am. The Post-Surgery Bundle replaces the guesswork with the three things that actually work — and it works from tonight.
Shoulder Sleeper Pillow — The dedicated arm channel holds your shoulder in a neutral, pressure-free position, so you stop waking every hour to reset.
4-Piece Adjustable Wedge Set — Four pieces you arrange yourself to find the angle that works for your body and your surgery. Elevate your torso, support the arm, prop the knees — and reconfigure it week by week as you're cleared to lie flatter.
360° Shoulder Ice Wrap — Hands-free icing that stays locked in place. 10–15 minutes before bed, then the Shoulder Sleeper does its job through the night.
Everything you need for the next six weeks. Nothing else to order.
Bundle saves $70.01 vs. buying separately
