MedCline Shoulder Relief System with Extra Cases, Bed Wedge Pillow for Shoulder Pain Relief and Therapeutic Body Pillow, Inclined Sleep Position with Arm Pocket, Large for 5'10" and Above

Years of Jiu Jitsu related injuries left my shoulders and neck a mess. Three years ago one of the best neck surgeons in South Florida rebuilt my neck. The result was miraculous! Both shoulders had extensive injuries to the shoulder cuffs along with multiple tears. Dr. Simovitch did an amazing job and repaired the tears and fixed both rotator cuffs. The problem is I sleep on my side. Both shoulders require at least one more surgery each. Being a “side sleeper”, I would sleep on one side for awhile before turning over to alleviate the pain. When the pain on that shoulder grew severe, I would turn over again. The process repeated itself several times each night. My wife noticed an ad for this pillow solution. The price seemed a bit high but we decided to try it out. The first night took just a bit of getting used to. Since then, I have been sleeping deeper than I have ever slept in years! I now sleep much deeper than I can ever remember sleeping. The quality of sleep is unbelievable better. I wake up truly rested and I have more energy than I have had in a very long time. I also no longer need pain medication before going to sleep and when I wake up! The difference in just a week is miraculous! I am in a better mood when I wake up and my work productivity has more than doubled. I did not realize just how much pain I was living with until that pain was gone! I am now looking forward to my remaining surgeries because this pillow system will make recovery much easier. If you are suffering from chronic shoulder pain or have upcoming shoulder surgery, show this system to your surgeon and ask their opinion. This truly is a game changer! The pillow system is also great for recovery and an intense upper body workout because it takes pressure off the joints and allows more efficient recovery. Words cannot express how grateful I am that my wife found this and we tried it out. I will never sleep on regular pillow again.

I'm a side-sleeper and was looking for a way to side-sleep without crushing my shoulders. This product does what it claims to do: gives you a way to position yourself on your side while providing a place for your arm so that your shoulder is comfortable. The dealbreaker is that there is no natural way to roll over or switch sides. A quick google search will tell you that we do this in our sleep 10-40 times a night to aid in circulation and avoid muscle cramps. This cannot be naturally done with this pillow setup, and I found myself consciously waking up and disentangling myself to switch, and this basically destroyed my sleep quality for the night. Further, the main mechanism behind this pillow to aid in shoulder relief is simply elevating the torso on the "ramp" part, which quite frankly was the most uncomfortable part for me, as it's quite hard. The same effect can be accomplished with your own (softer) pillow placed under your torso. I was enthusiastic about it when I first laid in it because my shoulders felt relief, however the cost of waking up throughout the night is not worth it for me. I would happily pay the exorbitant price (and did) for a magical way to relieve my shoulders of the crushing of side-sleeping, but unfortunately this was not magical for me.

I feel compelled to leave a review for this products because I was hesitant to purchase because of the hefty price tag and not many favorable reviews. I LOVE THIS PILLOW!!! I suffer from jammed shoulders which have bothered me while sleeping for YEARS!!!! This pillow solved all my problems; the achy shoulders in the a.m., the falling asleep arm problem at night, my aching hips AND my snoring problem!! The first night I used it I woke up feeling so refreshed because I actually slept well!!! For the first time in so very long!! I super love the body pillow that comes with it, I'm not sure how I lived without it for so long! The only downfall of the product is the size. Its BIG (and heavy) !! We have a queen sized bed and now are going to have to get a king size because my husband says he barely has enough room! Oops! Totally worth it though!! For reference I am 5' 5" , 140lbs. The wedge pillow fits my body length perfectly. EDIT: 6 months later the foam started breaking down in the wedge causing me lower back issues. SAD. It *was a dream come true....now its just a useless $200. pillow. I do still use the body pillow, which helps slighty with my shoulders, however, for the price i paid i expected to get more than 6 months use out of the wedge. Back to jammed shoulders, but a painfree lower back.

Got this for my wife. She kept sliding down the wedge, and since her arm is held tight in the hole, her body was pulling and straining on her shoulder. Returned it after one night.
