Mastectomy pillow or Cough cushion for heart surgery patients or people recovering from abdominal surgery. Please read to choose the cushion that is right for you : A mastectomy cushion (also for lumpectomy or reconstruction) is a soft cushion designed to make you more comfortable. Tucked under the arm, it protects sensitive surgical areas such as the armpit if lymph nodes have been removed, and the site of incisions on your chest. With a soft cushion, you can rest your arm and sleep more comfortably. After heart surgery or any operation to the abdomen, a firm cushion called a cough cushion is what you need. Some hospitals recommend you hug a rolled towel when movements are painful but this is not practical. A mastectomy cushion is too soft. A cough cushion will counteract the pain when you cough, sit up, sit down etc… because it is firm against your chest or abdomen. Made with cotton fabric, this pillow is filled with cushion stuffing complying with uk fire safety regulations. 13.5 inches across approximately 9.5 inches long approximately I used a soft cushion after a lumpectomy and found it so helpful, I set up my shop to help others recover from surgery. I make beautiful cushions that make a great gift as these cushions help physically and emotionally.
After my surgery, it was very uncomfortable to sit in a car, let alone wear my seatbelt. I continuously stuffed pillows all around. This cushion fixes that by attaching to your seatbelt with two sewn velcro straps. It can be used on the shoulder strap (moved up or down) or the lap belt depending on surgery, port or pacemaker location. It can also be turned around and used as a travel pillow after your recovery. The pillow is approx. 15 in x 5 in. You can personalize by adding a ribbon tab that I fix onto one of the seatbelt straps at no extra cost. (Examples in pictures.) Please state your preference or no ribbon in the personalization section. Please message me for special requests if you do not see the ribbon color of your choice or cause. Each pillow comes with a message of healing hang tag. Description card included with instructions and picture to show how to use. Gift messages will be printed on a separate note card. This is NOT a safety device, and should be used only for comfort in your recovery. Handmade with love by a breast cancer survivor.

A mastectomy pillow to make recovery more comfortable Or A cough cushion, to support you after heart surgery or abdominal surgery. Please see below what the difference is : After a mastectomy, a soft cushion is better, kinder than a firm cushion. You need a pillow that will protect and shield the areas of surgery on your chest and possibly in your armpit if you have had axillary clearance (removal of lymph nodes). A soft pillow will support you during the night, preventing your skin from pulling down. A good night’s sleep is essential for a good physical and emotional recovery. After heart surgery or abdominal surgery such as a hysterectomy or a C-section, you need a firm pillow that will support you when you cough or do any movement that works the muscles where you’ve had surgery. These firm cushions are called COUGH CUSHIONS. They work by counteracting the pressure that makes everyday movements painful. Hugging a cough cushion when you brace yourself can ease the pain and give you some relief. A soft pillow is not as effective. Made with 100% fabric and stuffed with polyester cushion stuffing. 13.5 inches across approximately, 9.5 inches long, this pillow fits in a bag, under the seatbelt (see my seatbelt cushion section) or becomes a resting pillow for your neck. Soft pillows make very good anxiety pillows too, as they are very squishy. Having used a soft pillow after a lumpectomy, I make my pillows with the benefit of my experience. I put much empathy and care in the cushions I make, knowing they will bring much relief to you or your loved ones.
