I am unable to sleep. Can the MedCline Shoulder Relief system help?

If you’re experiencing lasting general shoulder pain or discomfort as the result of an injury, sleeping comfortably can become a serious challenge, especially if you sleep on your side. When you use a regular pillow, pressure is automatically applied to whichever shoulder you’re sleeping on, which can intensify pain while you sleep and even make symptoms worse over time. The MedCline Shoulder Relief System is specially designed for shoulder pain. By gently lifting your body, you can take the pressure off your shoulder and sleep more comfortably.

Can a bad pillow or stacking pillows cause shoulder pain?

Yes. According to the National Sleep Foundation, a pillow that lacks support for the head and neck can trigger new or exacerbate existing shoulder pain. Stacking pillows can also be problematic as the pillows shift during the night and can also cause neck pain due to awkward pillow placements. The MedCline Shoulder Relief System provides head and neck support specifically designed for shoulder pain relief. The stuffing of the Therapeutic Body Pillow is adjustable so that stuffing can be moved to where you need it most for personalized comfort.

How does the MedCline pillow work?

Our Shoulder Relief System is constructed with all of the best features for effective shoulder pain relief. Not only is our shoulder relief pillow made with durable, medical-grade materials that maintain its shape over time, but each component comes with its own case for care made simple. When it comes to positioning your pillow for shoulder pain relief, our Sleep System uses three components for proven results: Shoulder Relief Wedge, Therapeutic Body Pillow, and Insert Pillow. Together, these components provide optimal support and comfort for shoulder pain relief.

What makes MedCline’s Shoulder Pain Relief System my best choice?

It’s no coincidence that 95% of MedCline users report better sleep. How are these results achieved? MedCline isn’t just a wedge or a pillow, it is a comprehensive sleep system designed to reduce shoulder pain at night. We designed the shoulder relief wedge at just the right angle for the best pain relief results. Plus, our patented arm pocket removes pressure from your downside shoulder and helps to prevent slipping or moving while sleeping for both comfort and results. An insert pillow, included in the system, adds an extra layer of comfort and support.

Can I buy the MedCline Shoulder Pain Relief System wedge on its own?

We currently do not offer the wedge component of the MedCline Shoulder Pain Relief System on its own. Each system includes the wedge, an insert pillow for comfort, the body pillow, and a set of cases for each. The three pillow components are meant to work together to provide pain relief as well as comfort. We encourage you to try the system as a whole.

How The MedCline Shoulder Relief System Is Built

Redistributes pressure

The patented arm pocket gives your downside arm a dedicated space to rest, so it isn't trapped under your body weight.
Gradual incline

Elevates your upper body at a 10° angle to take the weight off your downside arm and shoulder.
Symmetrical design

Allows for both left- and right-side sleeping with flexible arm positions, so you can sleep comfortably on either side with the same support.

Built for Side Sleepers: Why the MedCline System Works

The MedCline Shoulder Relief System isn't just another pillow. It's a full setup that positions your arm and shoulder so you can rest easily.

If you've tried stacking pillows or switching sides all night, you already know it doesn't work. This system does.

Regular Pillows	Medcline Shoulder Relief Pillow
Tend to flatten over time, putting more pressure on your shoulders.	Holds its shape and supports you all night long.
Trap heat and make you sweaty and restless.	Uses gel-infused foam that stays cool and breathable.
Offer no positioning support.	Features a patented arm pocket that reduces compression and promotes proper posture.
Rarely come with a sleep trial or guarantee.	Includes a risk-free satisfaction policy so you can try it without stress.
Usually one-size-fits-all.	Comes in different sizes based on your height for a customized fit.
Work well only on one side.	Has a symmetrical design that supports both right- and left-side sleeping comfortably.
Leave your downside arm compressed under your body.	Adapts to how you naturally rest your arm: straight, tucked, or under the body pillow.
Need frequent fluffing or adjusting to stay comfortable.	Arrives ready to use—just decompress, fluff once, and it molds to your body within weeks.
Often trap sweat and allergens with non-removable covers.	Comes with removable, washable covers to stay fresh and hygienic for years.

Adjusting to the MedCline Shoulder Relief System

When you first start using the MedCline Shoulder Relief System, your body might need a little time to adjust. Most users notice the difference within the first week, though allow up to 30 nights to fully contour to your body.

Pro Tip: Stay consistent. Regular use helps your body settle into the position over time.

Why the Arm Pocket Matters

Side sleeping puts your full upper-body weight on one arm. Sliding your lower arm into the pocket keeps it supported and relaxed instead of crushed under your body.

Distributes upper-body weight
Keeps the arm in a neutral position
Reduces overnight tossing and repositioning

Stay Cool and Comfortable

Worried about getting hot at night? The gel-infused, breathable foam stays cool even in warm weather. Pair it with a light blanket for the best comfort. And if you tend to toss and turn, the wedge and body pillow combo gently guides you back into side-sleeping posture.

Cleaning is a breeze:

Removable covers: Machine-washable
Foam base: Spot clean as needed

It takes up about half a queen-size bed, so most couples find it fits fine. Still, check your bed width before setting it up.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which MedCline system is right for me?

MedCline makes two sleep systems. The Shoulder Relief System includes the arm pocket and is built for side sleepers. Compare both on the collection page, or ask a product specialist.

How do I choose my size?

Sizing is based on your height, not your bed. Small fits up to 5'3", Medium 5'4"–5'11", Large 6'0" and up.

How does the arm pocket work?

Your downside arm slides through the opening in the wedge instead of resting under your torso, so your upper-body weight is carried by the foam rather than your arm.

How long does it take to get used to?

Most people settle in within the first week. Give it up to 30 nights for the foam to fully contour to your body

Will it fit my bed?

The full system takes up roughly half of a queen-size bed. Measure your bed width before setup — full-size beds work but leave less room for a partner.

How do I clean the covers?

All covers are removable and machine-washable. Spot clean the foam base as needed.

What's your return policy?

Every system is covered by our satisfaction guarantee. Full terms are on the Returns page.

Can I buy the wedge on its own?

The wedge is sold as part of the three-piece system. Extra cases and the body pillow are available separately.

Fantastic comfort
I went from a Purple brand pillow to the med line, and the difference in comfort and shoulder discomfort is leagues. The medcline helps with shoulder position, and neck adjustment, and all around is a fantastic night if sleep!

Review shoulder relief system
Has taken some time to adjust to the incline wedge. I'm only 5 ft 3, 115 pounds. The wedge seems alittle over sized for me. I keep sliding off the bottom and require multiple adjustments to correct this during the night. However, my shoulder has improved.
I love the body pillow but have plans to remove some of the stuffing as it seems a bit hard on my ear.
All in all I'm making the necessary adjustments and feel this purchase will be good for me.

Great from the very first night
Not waking up with a numb and aching arm is wonderful. And having something creating space between my knees has also helped reduce hip and lower back pain. I wish I'd discovered this sooner.
I'm still making some adjustments in how I position my CPAP hose with the MedCline, but I'm getting there.

Relief system
Have two bad shoulders that don't require surgery. I haven't had a full night sleep in a long time. Got the Medcline shoulder relief system and have had the majority of my nights much improved. Still working on best locations for my shoulders but overall I don't have the pain I did previously when the shoulder had pressure on it. As long as I relieve the pressure OFF the shoulder I can sleep.
