Setup

3. Initial Cleaning: It is recommended to remove and wash the pillow covers before the first use. Refer to the 'Maintenance' section for care instructions.
4. Pre-use Adjustment: If using for post-operative recovery, it is advisable to set up and test various configurations of the pillow set prior to surgery. This allows you to find the most comfortable and supportive positions without discomfort during recovery.

Operating Instructions

The 5-piece set offers flexibility to create various support systems. Each piece can be arranged to provide targeted support for different body parts and activities.

Common Configurations:

• Elevated Sleeping: Arrange the larger wedge pillows to elevate your upper body, which can help alleviate symptoms of acid reflux, reduce snoring, and provide support for back and neck pain. The head pillow can be attached with its strap to prevent it from sliding.

• Reading or Sitting Up: Use the main back pillow and support pillow to create an upright or reclined position for reading, working on a laptop, or watching television. The leg pillow can be used under the knees for added comfort and circulation.

• Leg and Knee Support: The smaller wedge and lumbar pillows can be used independently to elevate legs, support knees, or provide lumbar support, promoting circulation and reducing pressure.
• Post-Surgery Recovery: The adjustable nature of the set allows for specific positioning required after leg, arm, or shoulder surgeries. Consult with your doctor to determine suitable configurations for your recovery needs.

Maintenance

• Cover Care: The pillow covers are machine washable. Unzip and remove the covers from the foam inserts. Wash in cold water on a gentle cycle. Tumble dry on low heat or air dry to maintain fabric integrity.

• Foam Care: The memory foam inserts are not washable. If they become soiled, spot clean with a mild detergent and allow to air dry completely away from direct sunlight or heat.
• Air Circulation: Periodically air out the foam inserts to maintain freshness and prevent moisture buildup.

Troubleshooting

• Pillow Not Fully Expanded: If pillows do not fully expand after unpacking, ensure they have been given the recommended 48 hours. Gentle manipulation or placing them in a warm room can sometimes assist the process.
• Initial Odor: A mild factory odor may be present upon unpacking. This is normal for new foam products and typically dissipates within 24-48 hours in a well-ventilated area.
• Pillows Sliding: The set is designed with a non-skid bottom on some pieces to minimize movement. For the head pillow, utilize the integrated strap to secure it to the main back wedge, preventing it from falling down.

• Discomfort: Experiment with different arrangements of the 5 pieces to find the most comfortable and supportive configuration for your body and specific needs. The set is highly adjustable.
