The Sleep Again Pillow System was created by a breast cancer survivor, specifically with mastectomy recovery i mind. Patients healing from a mastectomy are instructed to sleep on their back in an elevated position for several weeks after surgery. This is true for many surgeries, but it’s especially important for breast surgery because the elevation both reduces swelling and pain while also increasing circulation. Our system is specifically designed to secure your body in a safe and comfortable position while sleeping and resting using a unique combinations of wedges and side pillows to help prevent you from rolling over at night.

Doctors recommend sleeping on your back post-mastectomy - and many other surgeries! - to manage surgical drains and dressings. Sleeping on your back helps you to heal optimally and protects incisions from excess pressure.

Doctors recommend that you sleep with your upper body elevated after surgery to reduce swelling and bruising. It also improves circulation and reduces fluid build up. In addition, elevating your upper body makes getting out of bed easier.

Following a double mastectomy, doctors recommend that you do not raise your arms above your shoulders. This is to protect incisions and sutures as well as keep drains in place.

The Sleep Again Pillow System is not currently covered by private insurance plans. If you have an HSA or FSA plan, the Sleep Again Pillow system is a qualified expenditure for most plans.
