Body pillow
Posted , 9 users are following.
Hi all, Just wondering if any of you have used a full body pillow after THR? The big u shaped ones that are used during pregnancy or for back problems. If so which type would you recommend? Or is there anything else you recommend?
Thanks
Ann

Hi Anniepaint, I can't say I have used a body pillow. It I'm sure I would be very comfortable. I actually used to use just a pillow between my knees which was pretty good and if I needed to turn to a different position I would just use it to support whichever part of my legs needed support. That worked well for for me. Good luck. Suzie58

Hi Annie,
I love the body pillow - always had one , even before any hip problems --
When I lived in Los Angeles, I bought mine at Bed, Bath and Beyond or any other department store where they sell bed linens - they cost arounf $20.00
However, here in the Netherlands there not that common - I looked on the internet and they sell them at Amazon or speciality stores and are much more expensive -
I bought one (about 40.00 euros) but unfortunately it is no full body ,,,
One of the reason why I like it is that it is full body, which makes you be able to "hug" it and give some upper body support ... the one I have unfortunately does not come all the way up but, for me, is more comfortable than just a pillow between my knees ...
so my take is to get one ...
when is your surgery scheduled for?
big warm hug
renee

Hi Renee, my surgery will be a week on Thursday (17th Aug) all being well. Going for pre op check up and joint school today. Thanks for the advice on the body pillow. I see there are different lengths available so I'll go for the longest and give it a try I think.
Cheers
