TRAKK Lumbar Triangle Wedge Pillow - Back & Joint Pain Relief

Love this wedge system. It worked great for me post op Mastectomy with DIEP flap. I still use the leg wedge at 7 weeks post op just because it's so comfy.

If you get these for the significant other as a gift, beware that they come in a VERY well marked box rather than the expected "TRAKK" box with a smile. Surprise!But OK, surprise (or lack thereof) aside, these ARE well made, and designed for back support. Very happy with this purchase, even though the girlfriend knew what it was as soon as it was delivered...

I was pleasantly surprised with the results of this pillow. First, I am 6'3 and weigh 338 lbs, so my size affects everything. Secondly, a car accident ruptured 3 discs in my lower back and after 2 back surgeries, I'm up for double hip replacement starting in July. This pillow blew me away with how supportive it was. Every other pillow I've bought, my size has destroyed them but this one is holding up perfectly. When I go to sleep, I don't wake up in the middle of the night too readjust it. When I wake up, there's very little difference in the pillows shape. Of course it stinks a little because if my weight but I'm able to sleep comfortably again. And if you've been losing sleep, you know how important trying comfortably is. I highly recommend this pillow if you're having problems after surgery or dealing with back pain or lower body pain.

Very comfortable, and helps with the pain.

My husband just had open heart surgery and was told not to lie flat to sleep. He tried, but this pillow was too much of an incline. We had to return it and get him a much lower wedge pillow.

Both my shoulders are messed up - one already a reverse total replacement (way less pain than before) and the other goes under the knife next week. The surgery definitely remedies the ongoing arthritic pain, but I still need a comfortable way to lounge in bed, even sleep when I get upper respiratory congestion. I bought several wedges over the years, but mostly they are much the same and none are really comfortable after 40 minutes or so. Forget sleeping on them. And all are narrow (20-21"), so both arms hang off unless I cross them on my torso [and duct tape them there]. This product is SO comfortable. I admit after a couple of days, I was a bit stymied as to where to stow all 4 pieces when not using them. However, those 4 pieces make this product so flexible and tailored to your needs and preference, minute by minute, day by day. The back support is 25" wide - my shoulders actually fit on it. Study the photos of the back support: the molded shape (which reminds me of my old Calculus text) lets you customize your sitting angles and degree of tilt from the mattress surface. The back wedge can also be placed in several ways to customize those options further. All surfaces of the back wedge are textured so it does not slip or slide after placement; same for the back surface of the back support. I really think the manufacturer needs to create a video (not a quickie 30-second one) that actually shows many of the alternative positions possible with just the back wedge and support. I actually looked online (to no avail) for at least a user guide recommending placements. I never used a knee wedge before this, but it is really an asset for napping. And the simple wedge that resembles a velveteen Lincoln Log is wonderful as a head/neck rest and also as a elevation aide for my yet-to-be-augmented upper arm and shoulder. If you like lounging in bed to watch TV, read, crochet, knit, etc. - the purchase of this wedge support system is well justified.

This set is a little awkward and not very ergonomically made but has a great concept. I will keep it and hope that I can find a sweet spot.

Trust me it's perfect for a guy or gal in good shape or was young and had open heart surgery it's perfect. The only way you can sleep in a bed and not a recliner all night.

Very comfortable.Perfect to rest and a person recovering from surgery.

This thing was essential in surviving my mommy makeover which I traveled out of state for. I was able to use the included vacuum bags and it fit in one side of my suitcase, and the other side was left for all my other clothes. It made staying in a hotel, laying in bed recovering for two weeks before I could go home totally doable. I didn't need any additional pillows to prop myself up and was able to sleep no problem every night! Would recommend to anyone having a tummy tuck and/or breast augmentation!!!!!!

I love this product. I had neck surgery and love it so much. It was expensive but worth it.My suggestion would be that the company add loops/handles maybe on the top so that it easier to move from place to place or even adjust it in the bed. Since it is bulky and a bit heavy and with just after surgery, when I can't lift, it would be easier to have those handles on the larger part.

Had an abdominal hysterectomy and these pillows have been my best purchase, I couldn't function right now without them. Use them throughout the day and sleep on them at night, they are comfy and don't slide around.

I bought this set when I was very sick, couldn't breathe laying down and those "back support pillows" you can get anywhere were just a joke. I searched high and low for a set of these just so I could try sleeping upright. I was also desperate for them to arrive ASAP. These checked every mark for me. When they arrived I let them puff up for about 2 hours because I was barely getting 3 hours of sleep. They're quite firm, but with the added pillow, they were perfect. Even now that I'm breathing better and can sleep laying down, I use them everyday to sit up in bed. They're perfect for reading, watching TV, crocheting, playing video games, etc. My current living situation has me unable to use the living room area, so this has been a huge help for my back. I couldn't recommend this enough.

These were very helpful with my pain . Only had to use them afew nights and they were excellent.

I recently had a huge surgery in my face, had to cut through bones, and I had to sit up for a very long time so the blood would drain forward and not into my lungs. It was SO comfortable and the "convertible" part was VERY helpful when I got the "ok" from the Dr that could lay down more, but still needed to be at an incline. The knee pad was also very helpful so that I did not "slip" and end up sliding down. I stayed put in my sit up position for hours and felt very secure! My husband also just recently just hurt this back and this has came in handy. We were very thankful we had it!So the price is worth it!! I know we will be using this a lot! We are not getting any younger lol

I debated which wedge pillow to get after having hamstring muscle tendon reattachment surgery for both legs. Given you can only be upright a maximum of 40 degrees, need easy exit/entry back into bed, and you are in bed for 16 weeks, I needed something that worked as it described. This pillow system is PERFECT! It stays in place in whatever position you need, had no odor as some reviews report, great color and a well-fitting cover, is just the right firmness/cushion and expanded from the vacuum seal it ships in as described by the manufacturer. 100% recommend (and I'm picky!).

I sent this to a family member who had a double mastectomy and it was probably the best product she used for recovery. I can't speak for any other purpose but if you have a loved one going through breast cancer add this to the list! Not much more to say, it's not something she will need for years to come but when comfort and healing is the top priority I highly recommend adding this to your must have list.

These wedges are phenomenal..my hubby had back surgery and before his Staples came out, he was also diagnosed with inoperable tumors..this set is a godsend!!! He slept the entire night for the first time in months upon receiving this set..very firm yet can go in a ton of different directions until you find that "sweet spot" that eases the pain. Had zero smell and "inflated" within minutes. Totally worth every penny spent!!!!!!

I purchased the wedge pillow set because I was having/had lower abdominal surgery. I know that your core muscles are responsible for raising you up from a lying position. The wedge pillows allowed me to sleep in the bed comfortably and the behind the knee pillow took the pressure off of my lower back. All I had to do was swing my legs over the edge of the bed and use my arm to push myself up from the wedge without having to stress my abdominal muscles. It was the best purchase I could have made for a speedier recovery.

I purchased this set because I had rotator cuff repair surgery and had to sleep sitting up in a brace for several weeks. I cannot say enough how glad I am to have had the pillows and how versatile they are for different set ups. I used the leg bolster while I slept which kept me from sliding down, and the Velcro is really helpful in keeping the head piece in place. It was recommended to let the pillows air out for a day, which I did, but I really didn't notice any odor. Also, love the vacuum packs for storage!
