Zomaple Post Mastectomy Pillow – Post Lumpectomy Surgery Recovery Support

Perfect to rest your elbows on and has a great pocket to hold your phone in. Very soft to lay on your chest when sleeping.

This pillow has been clutch post my bilateral mastectomy. I put ice packs around the base of my breasts periodically throughout the day to ease pain and swelling. This pillow holds them softly. I also wear it around the house and it gives me comfort!!

I purchased this pillow to support my recovery after a breast lift and augmentation surgery. It's soft and supportive and has a nice bright purple, as shown on the product page. I used this primarily for two purposes. First, it was a safety barrier I could wrap around myself while sitting on the couch so that my 4 and 7-year old daughters could sit next to me safely. Second, I wrap it around myself in bed at night and it's really helpful for me to stay sleeping on my back, which has been the hardest post-surgery instruction since I am typically a side sleeper! I kind of tuck the sides in around my breasts and it helps protect them, and it helps block or slow me down if I accidentally start to turn over while sleeping. Lastly, five days after surgery I had to travel about 1.5 hours in the car and I used this to wrap around my chest for added protection from my seatbelt. The little clip did break off but I didn't use that anyway, so I wasn't worried about that.

I purchased this mastectomy pillow after seeing it featured on Amazon and reading the glowing reviews from other customers. And I can attest that the reviews are spot-on. This pillow has been an absolute essential during my surgery process and it’s so handy that I see no reason not to keep using it after I heal from my reconstruction. Something about its shape and softness is the magic - I didn’t really wear it strapped to my body while moving around the house, but primarily used it when in bed. It sits so naturally across your body that it makes a non-bulky barrier that prevents your comforter from weighing or chafing against sensitive areas. Almost more importantly, the side panels provide a gentle armrest that prevents uncomfortable muscle pulling in your shoulders when you are laying on your back. As a side sleeper, sleeping on my back has been one of the toughest aspects of this process and your arms really do pull down to the sides in a way you don’t notice until the muscles along the top of your chest are compromised. Lastly, the pockets are everything so you’re not fumbling for your phone or remotes which is so important when your range of motion is compromised. Of course it is a must in the car too. A few times over the last few months I’ve forgotten my pillow while going in a car or staying overnight somewhere- and on all occasions trying to substitute another pillow did not come close!! Get this gem!! Best purchase I made for this journey and as noted I see no reason why I won’t keep using it when I’m all healed!

I love this thing! It's not as "weighted" as I anticipated but that's OK since my surgeon said to not have too much pressure. She also wants me to heal naturally with no heat / cooling so I havnt tried the pack yet. But just having it over me as an extra layer of comfort / protection. There are pockes on the front and back which was nice surprise. I can hold my phone or medicine or walkie talkie to get my husband if I need help. I also think once I'm healed this will make a great lumbar support for my lower back and the ice pack will come in handy. It's super soft and comfortable and I'm very attached with it. It's the main thing I carry with me from bed to couch for a change of scenery. Plus I have youmh kids and animals that are used to climbimg all over me and this pillow protexts from u expected paws or hands enough to address the situation and get them to stop. I highly recommend!

This was very helpful after surgery. During the first several days after surgery, I used it in the car under my seatbelt, as a comfort while sitting around and especially when I went to bed. The only reason I rate it as a 4 is that the elastic belt came loose; however I never used the belt so it had no impact on my use.

Excellent pillow. I didn't know what to expect from reconstruction surgery, but this pillow does it all. Protected my chest while sleeping in bed, sitting in a chair and so soft and secure while driving. I can't say enough about this pillow. You need one if you're having any chest or stomach procedure. This pillow is so simple and easy to use, the color is great for after surgery, the weight was perfect for my chest and stomach and price was well worth it. This pillow assisted in my pain relief tremendously. I couldn't have done reconstruction surgery without it. I recommend this simple pillow wholeheartedly! I especially love the convenient pocket for my phone. This pillow is a keeper.

The descriptions and photos were very helpful but I found the product even more wonderful than I expected. I had a bilateral mastectomy. I don't usually sleep on my back but knew I'd have to due to the drains. I also had 3 cats who like to sleep on me - was worried about that. I found that lying on my back with the pillow across my chest was comfortable, the "wings" supported my arms so that there was no pull on my chest, and the softness/thickness was such that the cats very quickly learned to rest their heads on my shoulders rather than lying directly on my chest. They caused me no pain, but were still able to cuddle, purr and provide needed healing power!! The pillow is durable, the pockets are perfectly placed and sized to hold a cell phone, TV remove or small book. I just can't say enough about this pillow. I love it and feel it made my recovery so much easier. I am 2 weeks post op today and still using it with comfort. Thank you so much!!

I had a breast reduction and this has been so handy. It provides a barrier so my cats can’t jump on me. It allows me to lift my arms slightly when I’m sleeping. It has a pocket for my phone and glasses. And it protects my chest from the seatbelt in the car. It’s really something you don’t know you need until you have it.

I purchased this pillow for a friend and she has said it has been very helpful when she sleeps at night and rests during the day. It arrived earlier than expected which was a big bonus!! Thank you!!

This pillow is a must have, even if only used for a short time. I had a breast reduction and I had key hole incisions plus incisions that ran under my breasts and underarms. This pillow really helped to aid with comfort of my arms down at sides. Yes, they say you can use regular pillows to prop under your arms, but this pillow is great because it stays in place. No pillows falling or needing to be repositioned all the time. I give 5 stars and highly recommend!! I and 5’5” and I weigh 178 pounds and found this pillow to be the perfect size.

As intended

Bought this for my mom post op. She said this helped her immensely and it’s the best gift she’s ever received. I’d recommend this to anyone after a mastectomy or even frozen shoulder.
