Preparing for Shoulder Surgery?
Start With Better Sleep.
Surgery is stressful enough. Set up your sleep environment before your procedure so you can recover more comfortably from night one.
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.

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
Most patients spend weeks researching their surgery and zero time thinking about how they'll sleep afterward.
Then they come home exhausted, in a sling, and in more pain than expected, with no idea how to get comfortable. The Pre Surgery Bundle fixes that before it becomes a problem.
Set up before surgery. Ready the moment you need it.
- Shoulder Sleeper Pillow Trusted by 100+ surgeons nationwide. The dedicated arm channel holds your shoulder in a neutral, pressure-free position all night, so you stop waking up every hour and start getting 4-6 hours of uninterrupted sleep.
- 4-Piece Adjustable Wedge System Elevation is one of the most overlooked parts of early recovery. This fully modular system supports you head-to-knee, lets you start at maximum incline when swelling peaks, and gradually lowers as you heal until you're sleeping flat again.
- 360° Shoulder Ice Wrap Fast, consistent icing in those critical first days makes a real difference. Reusable gel stays pliable when cold, adjustable straps keep it locked in place, and 10-15 minutes before bed sets you up perfectly for the Shoulder Sleeper to do its job through the night.
Bundle saves $100.01 vs. buying separately
