HOMCAFace Down Pillow for Eye Surgery – Stomach Sleeping Pillow with Soft Support, Home Massage Pillow with Shredded Memory Foam for BBL/Retinal Surgery, Not for Adults with Larger Body FramesOEKO-TEX STANDARD 100

After undergoing eye surgery, I needed to stay face down for an extended period, and this face-down pillow was truly a lifesaver. From the moment I used it, I realized it was the best investment I could have made for my recovery.The pillow’s design is incredibly well-thought-out, providing excellent support and comfort for long hours. The opening for the face is perfectly cushioned, preventing any strain on sensitive areas. It also allows for proper airflow, so I never felt stuffy or uncomfortable, even during hot days.What truly sets this pillow apart is how it helps maintain the required posture effortlessly. It kept my head and neck in the perfect position, ensuring my healing process wasn’t compromised. The durable materials and easy-to-clean cover were an added bonus, making it both practical and hygienic.If you're recovering from eye surgery or need a face-down position for any reason, don’t hesitate—this pillow is worth every penny. It made an otherwise challenging recovery period so much easier to manage. Highly recommended!

The fabric is soft and plush making it very comfortable to lay face down after eye surgery. The angle of the wedge, held on by heavy duty Velcro, provides enough space for air circulation and breathing. It also works as a bed prop now that I do not need to be face down all day. Highly recommend!!!

Only gave it 4 stars because after eye surgery the facial opening is not wide enough to get comfortable. Had surgery on left eye and when that eye is comfortably in opening nose and mouth are pressed against right side and hard to breathe. Otherwise it is a soft very comfortable pillow.

Must have for post op retina surgery!!! We rented the medical chair and equipment. This pillow adds phenomenal comfort for sleeping fave down. Highly recommend

I reordered the face down pillow for after my eye surgery. The pillow arrived the next day after the order, in great condition. The surgery was performed yesterday, and the pillow was a blessing. It was just what I needed for a comfortable sleep in a lying face down position.

Just being 100% honest here.This needs be be sized. This pillow as-is would likely work for someone with a smaller head and smaller torso. I am 5'11", weigh 245lb, and have a pretty big head (I admit it!). The pillow itself is soft and comfy, however the design to "open" the cushion for airflow is actually the flaw. There is inadequate support for your forehead, which should be where the weight is targeted. Instead, the forehead part is too forgiving.That brings in the second issue, too small of an opening. Since the face opening is so small, you can't properly reposition yourself to get the support you need. For me, it pushed the lower cushioning into my throat. In order for me to get comfortable enough to attempt sleep with it, I am cutting off my airway by putting all of the pressure on my neck.No matter the position, I couldn't get any adequate airflow. I'd much rather even sleep in the bench at my chiropractor than try to find any sort of sweet spot on this pillow. I was refunded for this, and will continue for my quest to find a device like this that works for me (and other large-headed Amazon shoppers).

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Recently had a BBL and need to sleep on my stomach but can’t breath. I bought this hoping it would elevate me off the mattress but it doesn’t work my face is directly on the mattress making it even harder to breath. I have one stars because the material was soft but does smell and needs to be aired out per the description

My husband bought this for me. I love massages but hate having my face stuck in a pillow or turn to one side. This face down pillow is amazing for massages. It lifts you a little so the person giving the massage can reach the whole shoulder area and you can breathe well and not have your face shoved in a pillow. Love this pillow. We would buy it again for sure.
