Proper bedroom preparation is essential for successful shoulder surgery recovery and optimal healing. Creating a recovery-friendly environment before your surgery ensures you can focus entirely on rest and healing without unnecessary stress or discomfort.
Start by positioning your bed for easy access from your non-surgical side. Move the bed away from walls if necessary, allowing you to approach and exit from the side that won’t strain your recovering shoulder. Consider lowering your mattress if you have an adjustable bed frame, as getting in and out of a lower bed requires less arm movement and reduces strain on your surgical site.
Organize essential items within easy reach of your bedside. Place medications, water, tissues, phone charger, and any medical supplies on a bedside table accessible from your non-surgical side. Keep a small cooler or insulated bag nearby for ice packs, and ensure you have extra pillows available for positioning support in addition to your Restore You therapeutic support.
Optimize your room’s lighting and temperature for comfortable recovery. Install easy-to-reach lighting controls or use bedside lamps that can be operated with one hand. Set your room temperature slightly cooler than normal, as elevated sleeping positions can increase body warmth. Consider blackout curtains or an eye mask to promote deeper sleep during your recovery period.
Ensure clear pathways to and from your bed, removing any obstacles that could cause trips or falls. Keep your bedroom door open or ensure you can open it easily with your non-surgical arm. If your bathroom is not adjacent to your bedroom, consider setting up a temporary recovery space closer to bathroom facilities.
Position your Restore You therapeutic support on your bed before surgery, practicing the setup process while you’re still mobile. This preparation allows you to identify the most comfortable positioning and makes your first night home much more manageable.
Always discuss your bedroom setup plans with your surgeon or physical therapist, as they may have specific recommendations based on your particular surgery type and individual recovery needs.

Schedule this conversation during your pre-operative appointment when your surgeon is reviewing post-surgery care instructions. This timing allows them to incorporate the Restore You into your overall recovery plan and address any questions about optimal positioning for your specific procedure.
Most surgeons support the use of therapeutic positioning devices that help patients achieve better sleep and maintain proper healing positions. However, always follow your surgeon’s specific recommendations, as they understand the unique aspects of your surgery and individual medical needs.
Yes, using the Restore You before your shoulder surgery can be an excellent preparation strategy that helps you become familiar with the optimal recovery position while you’re still mobile and pain-free. Many patients find that practicing with the therapeutic support before surgery reduces anxiety and ensures they’re comfortable with the positioning when recovery begins.
Pre-surgery use allows you to adjust to the elevated sleeping position gradually. Some patients initially find sleeping at an incline different from their normal flat sleeping habits, so practicing beforehand helps your body adapt to this therapeutic position. This preparation period also lets you determine the most comfortable way to position yourself within the support arms and find your ideal pillow arrangement.
Using the Restore You for preparation can help identify and resolve any setup concerns before your surgery date. You can practice getting in and out of the device, understand how to position the support arms correctly, and become familiar with the optimal placement under your arms and shoulders. This familiarity proves invaluable when you’re managing post-surgical discomfort and limited mobility.
The preparation period also benefits patients who want to ensure the Restore You fits properly with their body size and sleeping preferences. You can experiment with additional pillow placement, test the firmness level, and make sure your bedroom setup accommodates the device dimensions before your recovery period begins.
Some patients report that practicing with the Restore You helps reduce pre-surgery anxiety about post-operative sleep challenges. Knowing you have a comfortable, proven solution for recovery sleep can provide peace of mind during the often stressful pre-surgery period.
However, remember that the Restore You is specifically designed for post-surgical therapeutic positioning. While practice use is beneficial, the device’s primary function is supporting optimal healing position after shoulder surgery when maintaining proper alignment becomes critical for recovery success.
Always discuss your pre-surgery preparation plans with your surgical team, as they may have specific recommendations about positioning practice or other preparatory activities that complement your upcoming procedure.
While the Restore You was specifically designed for shoulder surgery recovery, many patients have successfully used it for other procedures that benefit from elevated upper body positioning and arm support. The therapeutic support can be helpful for any surgery where your doctor recommends sleeping with your torso elevated rather than lying flat.
Breast surgery patients often find the Restore You beneficial for post-operative recovery. Procedures such as mastectomy, breast reconstruction, breast reduction, and breast augmentation typically require elevated sleeping positions to reduce swelling and promote proper healing. The Restore You’s arm supports help prevent pressure on the chest area while maintaining the recommended inclined position.
Heart surgery and chest procedures frequently require similar positioning to shoulder surgeries. Patients recovering from cardiac procedures, lung surgeries, or chest wall repairs often need to sleep elevated and avoid lying flat during initial recovery. The Restore You provides stable support for maintaining these medically necessary positions throughout the night.
Upper abdominal surgeries may also benefit from the elevated positioning the Restore You provides. Procedures involving the upper abdomen, such as gallbladder surgery or upper gastric procedures, sometimes require elevated sleeping to reduce pressure on surgical sites and improve breathing comfort.
Certain arm and elbow surgeries can benefit from the supportive positioning, particularly when the arm needs to remain elevated or supported during sleep. The Restore You’s arm supports can help maintain proper positioning for procedures involving the upper extremities.
However, the Restore You is not suitable for all surgical procedures. Lower back surgeries, hip procedures, and leg surgeries typically require different positioning strategies, and the elevated angle may not be appropriate for these recovery needs.
Always consult your surgeon before using the Restore You for any procedure other than shoulder surgery. Your surgical team understands the specific positioning requirements for your procedure and can determine whether elevated sleeping and arm support align with your recovery plan.
The key is ensuring that the Restore You’s design features match your specific post-surgical positioning needs as determined by your medical team.
Restore You Set-up & Usage
Yes, the Restore You works excellently for side sleepers and often provides even better results than for back sleepers. The therapeutic support is specifically designed to accommodate your body’s natural preference for side positioning while providing the elevated angle necessary for optimal shoulder surgery recovery.
The Restore You allows you to maintain a comfortable side-lying position while keeping your recovering shoulder properly supported and elevated. Unlike sleeping flat on your side, which can put pressure on your surgical site, the Restore You cradles your body at the optimal therapeutic angle while supporting both arms in the recommended healing position.
Many side sleepers initially worry about adapting to an elevated position, but the Restore You’s design makes this transition surprisingly comfortable. The support arms naturally accommodate your body’s side-lying preference while preventing you from rolling onto your recovering shoulder during sleep. This positioning provides better protection than traditional side sleeping during your recovery period.
The therapeutic support actually enhances many of the benefits side sleepers already enjoy, such as improved breathing and reduced pressure on your back. The elevation angle helps reduce swelling in your recovering shoulder more effectively than flat side sleeping, while the arm supports prevent the uncomfortable arm positioning that often disrupts side sleepers’ rest.
Side sleepers typically adapt to the Restore You faster than back sleepers because the positioning feels more natural to their preferred sleep style. The support arms provide the body contact and security that side sleepers often seek, while maintaining the therapeutic positioning your surgeon recommends for optimal healing.
If you have a smaller frame or prefer closer body contact while sleeping, you can place a rolled towel between yourself and the support arm for a more snug fit. This customization maintains the therapeutic benefits while providing the cozy feeling many side sleepers prefer.
Most side sleepers report sleeping through the night from their first use of the Restore You, experiencing 6-8 hours of continuous sleep compared to the 2-3 hours typically achieved in a recliner. The familiar side-lying position combined with proper surgical support creates an ideal recovery environment.
Remember that during shoulder surgery recovery, sleeping on your affected side is typically not recommended regardless of your normal preferences. The Restore You provides a comfortable alternative that respects your side-sleeping tendencies while protecting your healing shoulder.
The Restore You’s versatile design allows for customization based on your specific surgery type and individual comfort needs. For shoulder surgeries like rotator cuff repair or shoulder replacement, position yourself so the support arm aligns with your armpit, keeping your recovering shoulder elevated and supported. For breast surgeries, you may prefer positioning yourself slightly higher in the support to reduce chest pressure while maintaining the therapeutic elevation angle. Heart or chest surgery patients often benefit from positioning the support arms slightly lower to accommodate any chest restrictions or surgical dressings.
Fine-tune your positioning by adjusting pillow placement and support arm contact based on your surgeon’s specific recommendations. Some procedures may require additional padding between your body and the support arms using rolled towels for comfort, while others benefit from extra pillows behind your head for increased elevation. If you’re recovering from multiple procedures or have surgical sites on both sides, center yourself more in the support to distribute pressure evenly across both support arms.
Always follow your surgeon’s specific positioning guidelines, as different procedures have unique requirements for optimal healing. While the Restore You provides the foundation for therapeutic positioning, your surgical team may recommend modifications based on your procedure type, incision locations, or individual healing needs. Contact your surgeon if you experience any discomfort or uncertainty about proper positioning, as they can provide procedure-specific guidance to ensure the Restore You supports your recovery plan effectively.
Yes, you can absolutely use additional pillows with the Restore You to enhance comfort and customize your recovery positioning. Many patients find that strategic pillow placement improves their overall sleep quality and provides extra support for areas not directly addressed by the therapeutic support. The Restore You was designed to work with your existing pillows, particularly a head pillow, and additional pillows can help fine-tune your positioning for optimal comfort during shoulder surgery recovery.
Place additional pillows strategically to address specific comfort needs and positioning requirements. A pillow under your head is recommended for most patients, while a small pillow or rolled towel between your body and the support arm can provide a more snug fit for smaller-framed patients. Some patients benefit from placing a pillow under their knees to reduce lower back pressure, or a small cushion behind their back for additional support. If you have surgical restrictions that require specific limb positioning, pillows can help maintain these requirements while using the Restore You.
Ensure that any additional pillows don’t compromise the therapeutic positioning that makes the Restore You effective for post-surgical recovery. The key is maintaining the elevated angle and proper shoulder support that promotes optimal healing. Avoid over-stuffing your sleep area with pillows that might cause you to slide down or shift out of the proper position during the night. Always consult your surgeon about any significant modifications to your sleeping setup, as they can provide guidance on pillow placement that complements your specific recovery requirements.
The Restore You therapeutic support is designed to accommodate a wide range of body types and sizes, with dimensions of 36″ x 28″ x 6″ that provide ample space for most patients. The support’s generous width and dual-density foam construction offer stable, comfortable positioning for both larger and smaller frames while maintaining the therapeutic elevation necessary for optimal shoulder surgery recovery. Most patients find the Restore You provides excellent support regardless of their body size, as the design focuses on proper shoulder positioning rather than requiring exact body measurements.
For smaller-framed patients, the Restore You may initially feel spacious, but this can be easily addressed with simple adjustments to create a more customized fit. Place a rolled towel or small pillow between your body and the support arm to achieve proper alignment and prevent sliding within the support. This modification ensures your shoulder remains properly positioned in the therapeutic zone while providing the snug contact that smaller patients often prefer. The key is maintaining the armpit-to-support-arm alignment that keeps your recovering shoulder in the optimal healing position.
Larger patients typically find the Restore You’s generous dimensions accommodate their frame comfortably, with the firm perimeter support providing stable positioning throughout the night. The medical-grade foam construction maintains its shape and support properties regardless of body weight, ensuring consistent therapeutic positioning. If you have concerns about fit or positioning based on your body size, contact our customer support team before your surgery for personalized guidance. Remember that proper positioning is more important than perfect fit, and the Restore You’s design allows for effective therapeutic support across a wide range of body types when positioned correctly according to your surgeon’s recommendations.
Yes, you can absolutely sit up and watch TV, read, or engage in other relaxing activities while using the Restore You therapeutic support. The elevated design naturally positions you at a comfortable angle for entertainment and light activities during your recovery period. Many patients appreciate being able to stay in their recovery position while remaining entertained, as this reduces the need to frequently change positions and potentially strain their healing shoulder.
When sitting up for activities, you can add extra pillows behind your back and head for additional support and comfort. However, ensure that you maintain proper positioning with the support arm intersection resting under your armpit to keep your recovering shoulder properly supported. This prevents rounded shoulders that can occur if you slide too low in the support while watching TV or reading. The key is maintaining the therapeutic alignment that promotes healing while allowing you to enjoy normal activities during your recovery.
While the Restore You accommodates sitting activities comfortably, remember that your primary recovery position should prioritize optimal healing alignment. When you’re ready to sleep, remove any extra pillows and return to the recommended sleeping position with the support arms properly aligned under your armpits. This ensures you receive the full therapeutic benefits of the Restore You’s design throughout your recovery period. Always follow your surgeon’s activity guidelines, as some procedures may have specific restrictions on upper body positioning during certain recovery phases.
Restore You Benefits & Comparison
The Restore You maintains your shoulder in what orthopedic surgeons call the “maximally loose-packed position,” which is the ideal alignment for post-surgical healing and recovery. This therapeutic positioning reduces tension on healing tissues, minimizes swelling, and promotes proper circulation around your surgical site. By elevating your torso at the optimal angle while supporting your arms, the Restore You prevents your shoulder from falling into compromised positions that can impede healing, increase pain, or cause complications during your recovery period.
The therapeutic support achieves this optimal positioning through its patented design that elevates your upper body while providing targeted arm support. Unlike sleeping flat or in a recliner, the Restore You maintains consistent elevation throughout the night, preventing your recovering shoulder from rotating inward or bearing weight that could stress healing tissues. The support arms cradle your arms at the precise angle that keeps your shoulder joint in its most relaxed, decompressed state, allowing healing tissues to recover without unnecessary strain or pressure.
This optimal positioning delivers measurable clinical benefits that accelerate your recovery process. Patients using the Restore You typically experience reduced post-operative swelling due to improved lymphatic drainage from the elevated position. The consistent therapeutic alignment also decreases pain levels, as your shoulder remains in the position that minimizes stress on surgical sites and surrounding tissues. Additionally, maintaining proper positioning throughout 6-8 hours of sleep provides significantly more healing time in the optimal position compared to the 2-3 hours typically achieved in a recliner, where patients often shift into compromised positions that can slow recovery progress.
Extensive medical research demonstrates that quality sleep is one of the most critical factors in successful surgical recovery and healing outcomes. Studies published in major medical journals show that patients who achieve adequate, restorative sleep during recovery experience significantly faster wound healing, reduced infection rates, and decreased post-operative complications. Research indicates that during deep sleep, your body releases growth hormone and other healing factors that are essential for tissue repair, while also supporting immune system function that protects against infection and promotes optimal recovery.
Sleep deprivation following surgery has been shown to substantially impair the healing process and extend recovery times. Medical studies reveal that patients experiencing poor sleep quality after surgery often face increased inflammation, delayed wound healing, and higher pain levels that can persist longer than necessary. Research specifically examining post-operative sleep patterns found that patients sleeping in uncomfortable positions or experiencing frequent sleep interruptions showed measurably slower recovery progress compared to those maintaining consistent, quality sleep in proper therapeutic positions.
Clinical research supports the importance of maintaining optimal body positioning during post-surgical sleep to maximize healing benefits. Studies focusing on shoulder surgery recovery demonstrate that patients who sleep in the recommended elevated position with proper arm support experience reduced swelling, improved circulation, and faster return to normal function. Medical literature consistently emphasizes that the combination of adequate sleep duration and proper therapeutic positioning creates the ideal environment for tissue regeneration, pain reduction, and successful surgical outcomes. This research foundation validates the importance of using therapeutic positioning devices that help maintain optimal healing positions throughout the critical recovery period.
The Restore You stands apart from other recovery products as the only FDA-registered therapeutic support specifically designed for post-surgical shoulder recovery, offering patented technology that maintains optimal healing position throughout the night. Unlike generic wedge pillows or standard recovery cushions, the Restore You features dual-density medical-grade foam construction with specialized arm supports that cradle your body in the precise therapeutic angle recommended by orthopedic surgeons. While many recovery products offer basic elevation, the Restore You’s patented design ensures consistent positioning that prevents rolling, sliding, or shifting into compromised positions that can impede healing progress.
Compared to sleeping in recliners, which most surgeons traditionally recommend, the Restore You provides superior comfort and significantly longer sleep duration in your own bed. Research shows patients using recliners typically achieve only 2-3 hours of continuous sleep before discomfort forces position changes, while 96% of Restore You users sleep through the night for 6-8 hours in optimal healing position. Other wedge-style products lack the specialized arm supports and precise angles that make extended comfortable sleep possible, often leaving patients sliding down or struggling with arm positioning throughout the night.
The Restore You’s clinical validation and patient success rates distinguish it from generic recovery products that lack medical device certification or clinical testing. While competitors may offer similar-looking foam products, the Restore You’s specific dimensions, foam density ratios, and arm support angles have been engineered and tested specifically for post-surgical recovery needs. The device’s Made in USA manufacturing with medical-grade materials ensures consistent quality and safety standards that generic imports or general comfort products cannot match. Additionally, the Restore You’s singular focus on post-surgical recovery, rather than general comfort or multiple uses, has resulted in the 96% patient success rate that establishes it as the leading therapeutic support for shoulder surgery recovery.
The most significant difference between the Restore You and recliner sleeping is sleep duration and quality, with 96% of Restore You users achieving 6-8 hours of continuous sleep compared to the 2-3 hours typically possible in a recliner. Recliners often create pressure points and discomfort that force frequent position changes throughout the night, disrupting the deep sleep phases essential for healing. The Restore You’s medical-grade foam construction and precise therapeutic angles eliminate these pressure points, allowing you to maintain optimal healing position comfortably throughout the entire night in your own familiar bed environment.
Positioning stability represents another crucial advantage of the Restore You over recliner sleeping. In recliners, patients frequently slide down or shift into compromised positions that can stress healing tissues and increase pain levels. The Restore You’s patented arm supports and carefully engineered dimensions prevent sliding while maintaining your shoulder in the precise “maximally loose-packed position” that surgeons recommend for optimal healing. This consistent positioning throughout the night provides significantly more therapeutic benefit than the variable, often suboptimal positions that occur during recliner sleep.
Beyond comfort and positioning, the Restore You offers practical advantages that recliners cannot match, including sleeping next to your partner, maintaining normal bedroom routines, and avoiding the neck and back stiffness commonly associated with recliner sleeping. Many patients report feeling more mentally comfortable and less isolated when recovering in their own bed rather than being confined to a recliner in a living room or separate area. The Restore You also eliminates the need to rent or purchase expensive medical recliners, while providing superior therapeutic positioning that supports faster recovery and better overall sleep quality during your critical healing period.
The Restore You’s most distinctive feature is its patented arm support system, which sets it apart from basic wedge pillows that provide only simple elevation. While regular wedge pillows create an inclined surface that often leaves your arms unsupported and your shoulders vulnerable to inward rotation, the Restore You features specialized arm cradles that maintain your shoulders in the optimal “maximally loose-packed position” throughout the night. These therapeutic arm supports prevent the rounded shoulder positioning and arm circulation issues that commonly occur with standard wedge pillows, ensuring your recovering shoulder remains properly aligned for optimal healing.
Regular wedge pillows typically use basic foam construction designed for general comfort rather than medical recovery, whereas the Restore You utilizes dual-density, medical-grade polyurethane foam specifically engineered for post-surgical therapeutic support. The Restore You’s precise dimensions and foam density ratios have been carefully calculated to provide the exact elevation angle and support firmness needed for shoulder surgery recovery, while standard wedge pillows often lack the structural integrity to maintain consistent positioning throughout the night. Additionally, the Restore You holds FDA registration as a therapeutic device, indicating it meets medical device standards that generic wedge pillows do not.
The clinical validation and patient success rates further distinguish the Restore You from regular wedge pillows, with 96% of users achieving improved sleep quality compared to the variable results typical with basic wedge products. Standard wedge pillows often allow patients to slide down or shift into compromised positions during sleep, while the Restore You’s patented design prevents movement that could compromise healing. The therapeutic support’s singular focus on post-surgical recovery needs, rather than general elevation purposes, has resulted in proven outcomes that generic wedge pillows simply cannot match for patients recovering from shoulder surgery and other upper body procedures.
Elevated sleeping enhances circulation by working with your body’s natural cardiovascular system to improve blood flow and lymphatic drainage from your surgical site. When you sleep with your upper body elevated, gravity assists venous blood return to your heart, reducing the pooling of blood and fluids that commonly occurs when lying flat. This improved circulation delivers more oxygen and nutrients to healing tissues while efficiently removing metabolic waste products that can impede recovery. The elevated position also reduces the workload on your heart, as it doesn’t need to pump against gravity to circulate blood from your upper extremities back to your central circulation.
The lymphatic system, which is responsible for removing excess fluid and inflammatory byproducts from tissues, functions significantly better when your body is positioned at an optimal therapeutic angle. Lymphatic vessels rely on muscle contractions and positional changes to move lymph fluid, and the elevated sleeping position facilitates this natural drainage process. When you sleep flat, lymphatic fluid can accumulate around your surgical site, contributing to swelling, stiffness, and prolonged inflammation that can delay healing and increase discomfort during your recovery period.
Clinical research demonstrates that patients who maintain elevated positioning during sleep experience measurably reduced post-operative swelling and faster resolution of inflammation compared to those sleeping flat or in suboptimal positions. The Restore You’s specific elevation angle has been designed to maximize these circulatory benefits while maintaining comfort for extended sleep periods. This improved circulation and reduced swelling translate directly into decreased pain levels, faster tissue healing, and quicker return to normal function. The combination of enhanced blood flow and efficient lymphatic drainage creates the optimal physiological environment for your body’s natural healing processes to work effectively throughout your recovery period.
