What is the Shoulder Sleeper Pillow?

A patented orthopedic pillow developed by a physical therapist and leading orthopedic surgeons to keep your shoulder, elbow, and wrist in the correct position all night — protecting the surgical site, reducing pain, and helping you sleep through recovery.

Who is it designed for?

Patients recovering from rotator cuff repair, labral repair, SLAP repair, total shoulder replacement, reverse total shoulder replacement, or clavicle fracture. It also supports non-surgical conditions including frozen shoulder, impingement, bursitis, tendinitis, chronic shoulder pain, stroke rehabilitation requiring arm positioning, and post-mastectomy recovery.

How is it different from sleeping in a sling?

Slings are built for daytime use — not sleep. They use neck straps that cause cervical strain, have no cushioning, and do nothing to prevent your arm from shifting overnight. The Shoulder Sleeper eliminates neck straps entirely, cushions multiple sleep positions, and keeps zero pressure on your surgical site while you rest.

What size do I need?

Small/Medium fits patients 5'0"–5'10". Large/XL fits patients 5'11" and above. Choose your size based on height for the correct arm elevation and body alignment.

Do I need left or right?

Yes — select the side that matches your affected or surgical shoulder. Left for left shoulder, right for right shoulder.
