Best Pillow for Side Sleepers? - Medcline Shoulder Relief System Review

[@illanaisme]

Yes, the price is holding me back... and thank you for the good review!

[@EquipMeOT]

My pleasure! I do wish the price was a bit better.

[@Lindalbean1]

I also thought that about the cost but I’ve had my best sleep yet! Arms n hands went numb now does not! This review is great My daughter , her husband and brother in law have them and all love them!

I’m an ultra successful self-made BILLIONAIRE who earned my first at 27- If someone were to ask me: “ok: none of that dumb cliched meaningless ‘work hard! Never give up on your dreams!’ stuff: what is the one PRACTICAL thing in life that’s needed to be successful?” My answer = “Never ever underestimate the power of deep-sleep: the ~8 hrs you spend in bed is the most important part of any 24hr daily cycle.”

Stay Away from This Product! My experience with the Medcline pillow has been nothing short of a disaster. I contacted them shortly after receiving the pillow because the steep wedge was causing intense lower back pain. Instead of addressing my concerns, their response was a dismissive insistence that I “give it 30 days” before they would even consider a refund. I followed their advice, and now I’m stuck dealing with excruciating lower back pain and inflamed discs that have necessitated multiple chiropractor visits, with no relief in sight. The pillow’s unnatural angle for side sleeping has only exacerbated my issues, turning what was supposed to be a solution into a nightmare. When I finally reached out for a full refund, I was told I was “outside the refund window.” It feels like a cruel scam, trapping you with a product that only causes pain and frustration. Save yourself the agony and look elsewhere-this pillow is a costly and painful mistake.

These are all quick fixes for people that need to ultimately do self massage and stretching daily. Also, those are all synthetic materials that are bad for your health in many ways.

Really good review…and I agree with everything you’ve said. It’s helped me so much heal from an injury! I DID take a pillowcase and cut open the end so I could slide it over the snake/body pillow for where my face rests. Not a perfect fit, but it does take away the fabric feeling and it’s cooler. I also don’t position the snake up so high on the wedge…it seems to support my neck better. They do now make an XL for taller people. I won’t use it forever, but it really has gotten me over hump. I was sleeping poorly and waking up with more pain than when I went to sleep!

[@CaptEirikr]

I've been using mine for a few days now, and its helped my shoulder and neck pain significantly; I've messed up my right shoulder sleeping on it before, and this takes all the pressure off of it. The body pillow provides a bunch of support which keeps me from rolling around a lot makes me feel stable. I've slept much better, and I'm super glad of it. I do want to get a pillow case for the body pillow though.

[@thomasj61]

Can you show your arm positioning in the wedge? No matter what I do, my arm always goes numb.

[@bobbeckett6509]

I’m sure it’s awesome for light people… I’m a 260 pound body builder… this thing flattens when I lay on it :(

[@shedcrazyofficial]

Thanks for this. I’m a big dude too and this was my concern

[@yayinternets]

Good to know. Bummer. I'm a big dude who lifts and have very broad shoulders and trying to find something to make side sleeping work better.

[@larainevillapiano2693]

I just bought the reflux system to help with minimizing sleep apnea by avoiding back sleeping. I cannot achieve a neutral neck position so now my neck is killing me. I spoke to MedCline and they suggested I rearrange the body pillow filling to better support my neck. I tried but was not able to move it much. Have you done this?

[@bridgetdavis9752]

Thank you for an excellent review. Being in my 60s I think I might reinjure my shoulder just moving this around.

[@bevishhh]

Whenever I try to side sleep with a wedge I end up feeling like I'm being bent. I resorted to bricks under the top of my bed for the lift.

[@EquipMeOT]

I absolutely understand that feeling! I found this angle to be small enough that it didn’t give that sensation. I have also used the Wellness Wedge system for under the mattress and it worked to elevate without the “bent” feeling. amzn.to/3GrAK0f

[@GoManGoDiscGolf-he5ho]

How about for those of us with neck and shoulder pain? I use a contour pillow that helps with neck pain but not much for shoulder pain. I’m also 6’4” and have broad shoulders.

[@4Nanook]

It's a nice idea but not $274 worth of nice idea. Total rip off.

[@patrickhenderson57]

I got it for 200 Worth it

[@MotivationalDevil-y6k]

still expensive. you can get it made for like $40

[@mensb1936]

Very small price to pay for good sleep

[@theaveragejoebody]

$199. Sooo yeah, I will definitely try anything to finally get a good night's rest.

[@sarfransays]

I'm looking for your video about shoulder sleeping but i'm having trouble finding it!

[@jcon6115]

This would have been so nice before my shoulder surgery! 😊

[@EquipMeOT]

Definitely an upgraded solution for surgery recovery!

[@pennyl5600]

Does it work for lower back pain?

[@dianecontreras4862]

They offer different size based on your height.

[@natural4lifemiss]

No I'm not paying 200 plus for that it's ridiculous companies think people can afford that

[@russ2120]

Not sure if you'd be the right place for this but I've got craniocervical instability from EDS, as well as shoulder pain from EDS and a torn labrum repaired in 2013. Shoulder and neck prevent me from sleeping consistenly unless i get lucky. Would this be good or at least not bad?

[@bobfrankenberger2366]

I an looking at this and for "Other wedge solutions" that you have not included those other links as promised to other systems. At 65 and a lifelong side sleeper I Have reached the End! I cannot just sleep on my back. Any more Help?

[@kimbathurston2705]

I think this is the other video kzbin.info/www/bejne/lYXVo5yln7d9ldE

[@MrSymbolic7]

I received mine 2 Day's ago and can honestly say I can't remember ever sleeping this poorly everything about the Medicine pillow is wrong for me at 6'4 " 1. I can't get high enough on this thing do to my head hitting the headboard , 2. my shoulder hurts worse than ever , possibly my arm is just to long for the wedge and shoulder pain starts at once no matter how many adjustments that I make ! 3. So, when the inevitable time to flip/ roll over happens you must actually wake up due to the uncoupling procedure needed to free my arm and lift it up and out , so eventually I just end up sleeping on my side on top of the wedge and that's not good at all , after 2 nights of almost no sleep tonight the wedge must go back in it's box and back to my previous sleeping arrangement !

[@MrSymbolic7]

And the candy cane body pillow was unusable for me , 100% of no use for me !

[@lynnwallis8654]

Do you have something for smaller space???

[@lucanidae100]

I have to sleep in a tent so do you have any ideas?

[@ramboj7924]

looks like a medieval torture device

[@TimShea-ec8rk]

You are correct!

[@getreal98]

I need a video on hip pain in bed

[@NancyTroutman]

I use a slick sheet to position myself in it, then my spouse pulls it out when finished.

[@EquipMeOT]

That’s a great way to make it easier! Thank you for sharing!

[@TimShea-ec8rk]

Sue the company! That's what I'm doing!!! $$$$$$$$

[@TimShea-ec8rk]
