Face Down Pillow for Sleeping - for BBL or Eye Surgery Recovery - Prone Pillow for Vitrectomy, Retinal Surgery or Home Massages - CertiPUR-US® Certified Shredded Memory Foam

Worked the way it’s supposed to. Had to lay on my stomach, face down in the hole of the pillow and could actually breathe. Plus I could pull out the two back parts to elevate more. Then laying on my side the pillow helped elevate me so I could stay steady in place. It worked for me and was comfortable but will be glad not to use it anymore !

I have tried numerous other Face/Prone pillows and none of them were comfortable. They were actually uncomfortable. This one is truly the one you can actually fall asleep using. My problem is not eye surgery recovery, but is an ongoing issue of pressure sores on my bottom. I am wheel chair bound, and I need relief from recurring pressure sores. I have MS and have severe atrophy in my lower body due to my inability to walk. I have no “cushion” anymore to keep my bony self comfortable. Lying on my side in bed provides relief, but I cannot always lay that way without having pain in my greater trochanter area. I needed to find a way to lye on my stomach to relive the pressure in my bottom and sides. Also, with limited head rotation due to cervical spine fusion, sleeping on my stomach with my head turned to the side is not an option. I have found this face pillow to be the perfect solution. It is constructed of very soft material, and is firm enough to keep my face elevated and breath without problems. It also assists in elevating my torso, lessening the on my neck as my face is elevated in the pillow. I do however, need to keep an additional pillow under my chest to elevate it more. Others have complained that the hole is too small. I have a big head, and it fits me well. Of course I do not have to worry about any eye pressure against the cushion, as I have not had eye surgery. If the hole was any bigger, it would not support the weight of my head anyways, and my face would just fall through hole. This is the face cushion you need if you are trying so lye on your stomach, and you can’t turn your head.

This is a very sturdy and soft pillow. I bought it in advance of a retinal detachment repair surgery when I was told I would need to remain face-down for 2 weeks. It turns out I could lay on one side, which I preferred, so I did not use the pillow. Upon my initial testing prior to the surgery, I was very happy with the comfort and fit. The only think I wonder is if it would get too hot with the fleece covering.

Quality product and comfortable enough. I'm a CPAP user and wanted to try sleeping in a prone position with my face not to the side. There is room enough to use a full face mask. Though a quality pillow, it wasn't that comfortable for me, but merely a matter of personal taste and not a design issue.

It works great for what it is designed to do. It's soft and great support. You can open up the front to increase airflow. It fit my face well. If it were bigger there would be no support. The color is UGLY! LOL. But check with your doctor first before you buy it. I actually didn't need it as much as need and ended up using only 4 days. So it was a waste of money for me and now I have to find a place to store it.

Recovering from a vitrectomy is difficult enough, and I thought this pillow might help with face down head positioning. For me it was terrible. The hole that your face sits in is too small, and ends up putting pressure on the side of your eyes. If you reposition your head so that your surgery eye is centered, then your nose will be pushed against the side and it will make it hard to breathe. Worse than the small hole size is the steep angle of the pillow and wedge. It arches your neck and shoulders back to be able to place your face and head into the elevated hole. This reverse arching is extremely uncomfortable after a very short time. It’s not like you are laying flat on a massage table with your face placed in the opening. Since there is no opening on the bed where you place this pillow, the opening is created by you arching your neck and shoulders back about 10 inches and the opening is created by the stacked pillows. Bending my neck and shoulders back like a banana was terribly uncomfortable for me. I did better just lying flat and hanging my head over the edge of the bed.

My wife had eye surgery a few years ago. I tried the chair we rented for her to keep her head down, and I found it very uncomfortable. For my eye surgery I opted for this pillow instead, and I am glad I did. A comfortable way to sit in a chair and keep my head down.

Soft fabric, good quality pillow.

Es muy suave pero no tiene la resistencia para soportar el peso , se sume muy rápido, no cubre las necesidades para lo que se adquirió, que era soportar el peso de la cara

Meu marido precisou desse travesseiro por conta de uma cirurgia no olho e ter que dormir de bruços por alguns dias e não encontrava nada parecido em lojas de produtos médicos Veio super compactado - tipo alguns sofás que tenho visto - e super rápido A única ressalva é que não tem como compactar de novo para guardar

Looks good can't wait to use it

Don’t buy it. Nothing like the picture! The return took ages!

thank goodness I bought this....had eye surgery and it helped me to sleep
