Relieves Pressure
Patented arm pocket allows your arm to rest comfortably without having it falling asleep or triggering shoulder pain.
Gradual Incline
Elevates your upper body at a 10° angle to take the pressure off of your downside arm and shoulder.
Symmetrical Design
Allows for both left and right-side sleeping with flexible arm positions so you can comfortably sleep on either side with the same shoulder relief benefits.
The Medcline Shoulder Relief System isn’t just another pillow. It’s a full setup to take pressure off your shoulder and arm so you can finally rest easily.
If you’ve tried stacking pillows or switching sides all night, you already know it doesn’t work. This system does.

When you first start using the Medcline Shoulder Relief System, your body might need a little time to adjust. Most users notice relief within the first week, though the memory foam can take up to 30 nights to fully contour to your body.
Pro Tip: Stay consistent. Regular use helps your shoulders and spine align better over time.
If you often wake up with a numb arm, the built-in arm pocket is a game-changer. Sliding your lower arm into that space keeps it straight and relaxed instead of crushed under your body. That simple shift:
Many users find this setup helpful after shoulder injuries like rotator cuff issues. It holds your arm and upper body in a neutral, supported position, giving your muscles a chance to rest.
Pro Tip: Always talk to your doctor before using it during recovery or with existing shoulder conditions.
Worried about getting hot at night? The gel-infused, breathable foam stays cool even in warm weather. Pair it with a light blanket for the best comfort. And if you tend to toss and turn, the wedge and body pillow combo gently guides you back into the right side-sleeping posture.
Cleaning is a breeze:
It takes up about half a queen-size bed, so most couples find it fits fine. Still, check your bed width before setting it up.
If you’re experiencing lasting general shoulder pain or discomfort as the result of an injury, sleeping comfortably can become a serious challenge, especially if you sleep on your side. When you use a regular pillow, pressure is automatically applied to whichever shoulder you’re sleeping on, which can intensify pain while you sleep and even make symptoms worse over time.
The Medcline Shoulder Relief System is specially designed for shoulder pain. By gently lifting your body, you can take the pressure off of your shoulder, and in turn, alleviate nighttime shoulder pain. Better than side-sleeping pillows, which just elevate your head away from your shoulder, Medcline’s three-component Sleep System actually removes pressure from your down side arm and shoulder.
Yes. According to the
National Sleep Foundation,
a pillow that lacks support for the head and neck can trigger new or exacerbate existing shoulder pain. Stacking pillows can also be problematic as the pillows shift during the night and can also cause neck pain due to awkward pillow placements.
The Medcline Shoulder Relief System provides head and neck support specifically designed for shoulder pain relief. The stuffing of the Therapeutic Body Pillow is adjustable so that stuffing can be moved around to provide more or less support to find ideal comfort. The smaller Insert Pillow within the patented arm pocket can also be adjusted and moved around within the pocket for optimal support. Finally, the three-component system does not shift around as you sleep, which allows for all-night support and comfort.
Our
Shoulder Relief System
is constructed with all of the best features for effective shoulder pain relief. Not only is our shoulder relief pillow made with durable, medical-grade materials that maintain its shape over time, but each component comes with its own case for care made simple.
When it comes to positioning your pillow for shoulder pain relief, our Sleep System uses three components for proven results:
Together, these elements gently lift and support your upper body while creating a comfortable position for your downside arm and shoulder.
It’s no coincidence that 95% of Medcline users report better sleep. How are these results achieved? Medcline isn’t just a wedge or a pillow, it is a comprehensive sleep system designed to reduce shoulder pain at night. We designed the shoulder relief wedge at just the right angle for the best pain relief results. Plus, our patented arm pocket removes pressure from your downside shoulder and helps to prevent slipping or moving while sleeping for both comfort and results. An insert pillow, included with the system, provides an additional layer of comfort in addition to the also included body pillow that can rest between your knees. We also have a first-in-class customer service team of Sleep Specialists. In fact, we encourage you to reach and ask any questions you may have before trying the Medcline Shoulder Pain Relief System.
We currently do not offer the wedge component of the Medcline Shoulder Pain Relief System on its own. Each system includes the wedge, an insert pillow for comfort, the body pillow, and a set of cases for each. The three pillow components are meant to work together to provide pain relief as well as comfort. We encourage you to try the system as a whole.

Customers say this shoulder relief system significantly reduces shoulder pain and improves sleep quality, with many reporting relief within the first few nights. The wedge and body pillow provide firm support that keeps side sleepers comfortable throughout the night. Common feedback includes reduced numbness, better sleep duration, and decreased nighttime tossing. Some users note the system requires an adjustment period and is quite large for smaller beds. A few mention difficulty repositioning during the night or discomfort if they frequently change sleeping positions.
I have the Medcline Shoulder relief System with a full body pillow. I no longer wake up with sore shoulders and numb arms. It aligns my spine and sleep better overall. So happy with this purchase! Customer service was also excellent! I had an issue with the body pillow and they solved it.
I am a side sleeper, in my mid 60’s. I am active in good shape and health. I was having problems with a slight tear in my left deltoid from weight training. I prefer sleeping on my left side but the nagging injury was making it impossible so I resorted to sleeping on my right side which my body and brain were not used to. So now I had aching in both shoulders. I bought the Medcline and had to set it up and get comfortable with it. After 3 days I was sleeping through the night and feeling a slow but noticeable improvement in both shoulders.
I have asthma and allergies, and sometimes at night I have problems breathing. The incline helps with that; I also notice that my neck and shoulders are less stiff. I love the softness of the pillows, but I wish the other side also had a long pillow for my legs. I enjoy that feeling of being hugged all night long. I am still adjusting, I find myself sliding down a little at night, so I prop myself back up.
Absolutely love this system! The relief that it gives me too sleep in any position is life changing for me. At my age, the best sleep I've had in 30 years! Truly, you will love it!
I fell and broke my foot 2 months ago. After surgery I have not been able to sleep more than 2 to 3 hours at a time..I used to wake up at night with severe pain in my shoulder..after purchasing and using the Medcline pillow. Im finally getting a full night of sleep. Thank you for your pillow.
