How Can Recovery & Comfort Pillows Benefit Me In My Daily Life Or Healing Journey?

The pillows featured in the Make Me Heal Store are designed to help reduce post-operative symptoms following surgery or injury including swelling, pressure, muscle tension and pain in various parts of the body. As recovery often requires resting in the same position for long, continuous periods, these recovery comfort pillows can help reduce body aches and enable a patient to enjoy pain-free rest. Additionally, many of these pillows are a great addition to one’s daily life as they can help enhance comfort while resting and can be used for breathing comfort, improving blood circulation, reducing pressure and muscle tension, and for treating medical conditions such as acid reflux disease and hernia.

As you walk through the Pillows department of the Store, you will notice that there are several major types of pillows to consider for your healing journey or daily living comfort.

Elevation Wedges & Pillows
Reduce Swelling, Optimal Blood Circulation, Breathing Comfort, Pressure/Muscle Tension Relief, Acid Reflux
See full product line

Elevation Wedges & Pillows are specially designed with an incline to provide proper elevation and to keep your affected swollen areas (facial, upper, mid, or lower body areas) comfortably elevated in a 45 degree angle that helps reduce swelling and enables optimal blood circulation to all the vital healing areas. Depending on the area(s) that is swollen, you may need to keep such area(s) elevated. For patients with swelling in the upper body region, we offer wedges that are specifically designed to keep the head, arm, back, chest, and abdominal areas comfortably elevated. Similarly, patients having lower body procedures can use knee and leg wedges that keep swollen areas the legs, thighs, calves, and feet area comfortably elevated. Beyond using wedges during healing from a surgery or injury, these products can be used in everyday life to elevate the head for breathing comfort, pressure and muscle tension relief, and as a treatment for medical conditions such as acid reflux/indigestion and hietal hernia. Many patients find bed wedges to be a superior and more comfortable elevation solution compared to putting oneself above pillows on a bed.
