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 of your shoulder, and in turn, alleviate nighttime shoulder pain. Better than side-sleeping pillows, which just elevate your head away from your shoulder, MedCline’s three-component Sleep System actually removes pressure from your down side arm and shoulder.

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 around to provide more or less support to find ideal comfort. The smaller Insert Pillow within the patented arm pocket can also be adjusted and moved around within the pocket for optimal support. Finally, the three-component system does not shift around as you sleep, which allows for all-night support and comfort.

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
• Insert Pillow

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 with the system, provides an additional layer of comfort in addition to the also included body pillow that can rest between your knees. We also have a first-in-class customer service team of Sleep Specialists. In fact, we encourage you to reach and ask any questions you may have before trying the MedCline Shoulder Pain Relief System.

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.
