Face Down Pillow After Eye Surgery, Adjustable Height Prone Prone Pillow Face Down Sleep, Retina Lying Pillow, Vitrectomy Macular Hole Retinal Detachment Recovery Equipment Eye Surgery Support

This Face Down Pillow used for Eye Surgery Recovery worked. Somewhat comfortable and met needs to use face down for 5 days 24/7, when using on table top I turned the pillow around and the metal bar height adjuster flat position which placed my head in the correct position (think of your head having a leveler tool bubble) For anyone to lay face down for X number of days with only a 15 minute break every hour is a challenge & MUST DO so for the surgery to be a success! FYI: I had to do this twice, surgery in second eye after 3 weeks following my first eye surgery. I used in the correct position (not turned around) while laying on my stomach in bed. I used another Face down pillow Amazon stock (ASIN#) B0B82WBSXD to lay face down in the back seat of my vehicle for the 2 hour drive home from the surgery center and on follow up doctor visit drives, much shorter distance. This pillow worked well no metal frame so fix back seat and lap https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0B82WBSXD/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_image?ie=UTF8&psc=1 recommend both products.

After setting the pillow in the metal base frame, I put my head face down to test and initially it felt comfortable Unfortunatelly a couple of minutes later the frame was not able to sustain the weight of my head I adjusted it a couple of times but the adjustable frame would close - hence imposibble to useFortunately I bought another face down pillow which I used after my surgery a week agoIt just does not work

This thing was such a lifesaver when the doctor told me I needed to keep my face down CONSTANTLY and I needed to sleep. Trying to actually sleep was still difficult for me as a side-sleeper, but I was able to breathe! It held up well and the adjustments are nice, I had it up a little higher when i wanted to watch something on my phone and then lower when trying to rest. Didn't notice any odd smells, seemed fine and dandy to me!

soft plush material, lofty and stuffed firm- not flimsy like a few similar pillows i tried. bars can stick a bit trying to position them but mostly easy to use. i tried it for a supine neck support pillow and hole worked well for my head (and a plus for putting my long hair in too) but unfortunately it was a little too lofty and firm for my use- could be perfect for intended prone use though, as a 30+ year massage therapist seemed comfortable enough as long as you don't have shoulder or neck issues- i suggest keeping it as flat as possible raised just enough to breathe.

The product worked fairly well. I needed it for facing down after eye surgery. Not very comfortable for nighttime sleeping. Even in its lowest position I had neck pain. Removing the pillow from the frame made it more comfortable.

I ordered this pillow 2 weeks before a vitrectomy surgery on June 17. I let it air out, and fluff up. It was perfect to use in bed and on the kitchen table to keep face down following my surgery. The hole was big enough, that I didn't feel smothered, and the arm allowed it to be propped up for easy adjustments if I was sleeping, or sitting. I was worried about having to stay face down for 5 days and not feel smothered, but this pillow worked perfectly for me.

If you've had a detached retina repair, and were told you need to keep your head down for the next two months or so, you want this pillow! Very comfortable, and makes it easy to breathe while your head is down. If you're like us, everything happened so fast (eye exam at 5:00 PM, in surgery at 8:30 the next morning, two months of "don't lift your head up") that we were lost and confused. Fortunately we found this pillow on Amazon and it helped a lot.

Frame started failing after about 8 months. Just collapses when try to use it.
