Help Prevent Bedsores and Heal Faster: The Lunderg Bedsore Cushion provides instant relief by taking pressure off of the spine and helps with turning and positioning your loved one or elderly patients. Thanks to its patented innovative shape & adjustable slope, weight is distributed evenly - alleviating the pressure on your tailbone and back.
Includes 2 Non-Skid Pillowcases: Unlike other bed wedges & body positioners that come with ONLY one case, which is slippery and needs constant repositioning, the Lunderg Bedsore Pillow Wedge includes TWO anti-slip pillowcases (one Moisture Resistant cover & one Comfort cover) that always stay in place.
Only Cushion with Slope Adjust: To ensure patient comfort and help quicken the healing process, the cushion slope can be easily adjusted to meet the needs of your loved one. Simply insert the extra foam layer to increase the slope angle and density. Lunderg's Bedsore Prevention Medical Wedge Pillow is extremely easy for patients or caregivers to use, making it an ideal solution for patients and loved ones, whether they are large or small.
Post Hospitalization / Surgery / Stroke Necessity: Lunderg wedge pillow for side sleeping helps take pressure off the back while keeping the spine aligned and preventing patients from rolling over. Because of its comfort and stability, it is ideal for at home post-surgery care for your loved ones and bed-ridden patients in long-term care facilities. Pregnant women love it too.

How to turn your loved one or patient using the Lunderg Bedsore Pillow
Step 1 - Talk
Get your patient or loved one’s full participation. Simple encouragement works wonders!
**Note that in this demonstration, we are using the Lunderg cushion without the extra layer and with the moisture resistant cover on. These instructions are the same if using the comfort cover or the slope adjusting layer. **
Step 2 - Roll
Make sure the patient or loved one is turned as much as possible to one side. Depending on their ability to assist, you might have to help them. To make things easier, we recommend you use the Lunderg Bed assist Rail if you are not using a Hospital bed.
Step 3 - Right Position
Your hands should be on the backside of the pillow while the curved side faces the patient or loved one.
Step 4 - Place the pillow
Using the curved side, place one end under the shoulder blade and the other end under the buttocks.
Step 5 - Rectify if needed
Now is the perfect time to make sure you are avoiding the sacrum or sore area.
Step 6 - Final Roll & Tips from the nurse
Roll back the patient or loved one onto the cushion. The non-slip pillowcase will prevent slipping, but it is recommended to hold the cushion!
Last, you can check with your hand that the pillow is not applying any pressure on the wounds or bedsores.
If after the final roll the patient or loved one is not comfortable you can try again by adjusting the slope!
What makes the Lunderg Bedsore Pillow better than competitors?
Stop paying extra for non-slip pillowcases! Unlike the other guys, Lunderg's Bedsore pillow comes with slope adjust and TWO non-slip pillowcases. We offer ultimate convenience without compromising quality!
Why do I need the slope adjust?
Everybody is different and finding the perfect position for maximizing comfort and reducing pressure is an arduous task. The slope adjustment offers versatility, customization and convenience to make caregiver's and patients' live easier.
Can it be used with an alternating pressure mattress? And with a hospital bed that reclines?
Yes and Yes! Because both of the cases that are included with your cushion have non-slip backing, you can use our pillow with an alternatting pressure mattress or hospital bed.
Is the pillow latex-free?
Yes, the pillow and both of the pillowcases are latex-free!
Does the pillow work with a patient that is less than 5 feet tall?
No, we don't recommend it for people under 5 feet or children, as it is too wide/big and it wouldn't work as designed.
