I had double mastectomy in December and have used a wedge and it worked great for me.
I used a recline and pillows propping me up in bed. The best purchase I made was the mastectomy pillow. I found the best pricing on Amazon. I used it bed, actually all of the time. I had a bilateral mastectomy with no reconstruction.
I used wedge pillows. Worked great. I liked still being able to share the bed with my husband.
Absolutely, I have a recliner- and that was great, but several women have used pillows to prop up. I would have still had to sleep in the chair because I am such a serious side sleeper, being in the chair kept me more upright and kept the pressure off the incision site. Wishing you every success with your procedure!!
