Louise (Saskatoon, SK, CA)
Working well so far!

I bought this for my father to use at his retirement home. He has caregivers looking after him and they place it for him when they reposition him. According to them, it is working well and helping to alleviate pressure on his back, and therefore helping with the redness/bed sores as well. I definitely recommend them!

Hello, Louise! We're happy to know that the wedge is helping to alleviate redness and bedsores. The proof is in the pudding. Please feel free to contact us if you need additional assistance or need answers to any questions you might have.

This pillow is awesome

We tried different pillows for my husband who is in a hospital bed. None of them were good enough until we found this pillow. It is perfect for him. I would definitely recommend it. He also uses the Wedge and the Footbed Heel Floatation Cushion for night sleeping.

Hi, Brenda!
Thanks so much for the great review. We are happy to know that the pillow, wedge, Footbed are working for your husband. It's why we do what we do. Please let us know if you have any questions. We're here to help.
Best,

Bedsore Rescue® Footbed Heel Floatation Cushion
Michelle Lasley (Louisville, KY, US)
Hopeful Daughter

Was happy to get this product as I have been using towels under my 98yr old mother’s legs to elevate her heels. The product itself is well made, soft and has a well or trough around the three sides. Her heels fit perfectly in there and her feet rests perfectly against the material. The only change I would make to this is to have one that’s wider for those who like to or need a wider spread to their legs. Excellent product! I’m glad I have it.

Relief…

I purchased this pillow for my Dad who has been dealing with bedsores. After a week, his RN let me know it’s healing very well. He was surprised since it had been a while getting it under control. It’s worth the investment and my Dad is much happier and comfortable!

Odd things work!

the surgeon broke my hip during replacement surgery which resulted in having to wake and reposition multiple times and waking with discomfort. Nothing worked the night through until, on a whim, I tried this and now last all my sleeping time with no shifting for pain relief and wake pain free. Thanks so much. Maybe not made for this but it is perfection!

AMAZING COMPANY! GREAT PRODUCTS!

I’VE PURCHASED MANY PRODUCTS ONLINE, BUT THIS WAS A RARE EXPERIENCE TO HAVE GWEN THE INVENTOR OF BOTH THE WEDGER AND FOOT FLOATER ACTUALLY SPEAK WITH ME OVER THE PHONE WHEN I CALLED REGARDING MY ORDER OF THE WEDGER. THE PRODUCTS ARE GREAT AND SHE STANDS BY HER MONEY BACK GUARANTEE! THANKS FOR PROVIDING EXCELLENT PRODUCTS AND PROFESSIONAL CUSTOMER SERVICE!

Great Cushion for back!

Great option to use and it doesn’t skid.

No disappointment

I purchased this bedsore cushion for a family member who had a back sore and a sacral sore. The pillow was easy to use and the sores healed within a few weeks after we began it. We had been looking to purchase an alternating pressure mattress, but I am glad to say that this has been the most economically viable option, so far. Thank you so much for the fantastic customer service! I needed this product asap and they did everything possible to mail it to me within a very short notice and on a weekend. Fully satisfied and grateful!

Peace of Mind at Last

I am now more confident with managing the care of my bedridden loved one with the Jewell positioning wedge & bolster pillow! The products work, making caregiving easier & my loved one healthier & more comfortable. I’m tossing all the “old stupid pillows now!” Thank you for your care to develop this product & for all your work to get it to people in need! Ginny

Wow!
Thank you for this message. It's what we want to hear. We're so happy our products are working for you and your loved one. Let us know if we can be of further assistance. We're here to help.

Only works if it's used

I purchased the positioning wedge cushion after the client l care for at night had been neglected by a worker on the daytime shift. The client wasn't being toileted regularly and their skin was starting to get red and they complained of tenderness. That worker has been fired. While educating myself on bedsores, l came across your product and decided to buy it with money l got at Christmas from members of the client's community. No other workers think the device is important to use and continue to use pillows. I also was reprimanded by the client's family for stopping use of disposable chucks, and for placing her at what they consider the foot of the bed ( so the wedge isn't always used on one side).
Hopefully what l do at night is enought to keep client skin intact.

Great wedge!!

My mom has not had bedsores since we've been using this wedge. We are so happy with the results!!

Natascha,
That's great news! We are so happy to hear this. It's why we do what we do.

Blessing

Was looking for something other then the disposable wedges after mom first operation wound debridement and the requiring a second debridement, this cushion works wonders and keeps mom comfortable

Hello, Arthur -
Good news! I hope your mother continues to recover from surgery. We're glad to be a part of her healing process. Thank you for the review.

You have provided the solution to prevent Bedsores

We have eliminated our entire old crappy collection of pillows, wedges, and shaped foam pads and pillow cases that we used to stuff under my husband who is a quadriplegic. I am his caregiver and when I saw that this product was created by a wound care nurse, I became very interested. The shape and contour of the 30 degree angled Cushion provides just the right amount of offloading and can be used in many different areas of the body depending on where you have a problem. I have purchased 2 Contour Wedges and 3 of the Pillows.... and I am so happy I did. This has made my life easier since I can use the products and they stay in place, The material can be cleaned easily and there are no sharp edges or zippers. They are cool, breathable and I don't have to do laundry any longer.... Best investment in a product that I have made.

This is great news!
You are one of many examples of how our Bedsore Rescue product line has helped not only the patient but the caregiver as well. Nonetheless, it never gets old reading messages like yours. We are so happy wedges and pillows are working for you and your husband. Please let us know if you have any questions regarding our products or with wound care in general. We're always here to help.
Best,
The Bedsore Rescue Team

Results

Waited to write a review in order to give the cushions, covers and pillow a hands on review. I will start with the covers, I like the them because they stop the cushions from slipping. The fact that they are warm when I place the cushions on warm skin is a plus. The pillow isn’t just a pillow, it has many uses. The positioning wedge, I purchased two because my husband prefers to position on his back, is a keeper. Our healthcare nurse was here today and noted some tissue forming around the sore on his buttocks. The only difference in his care has been the positioning wedge. Your booklet is a great guide. Your customer service is excellent! In my book, I would give you ten stars. Thank you for all the help.

Hi, Paula!
Thanks so much for the great review. And, of course, more importantly, it's great to know the wedge is helping to heal the sore. Keep up the good work!
Best,
The Bedsore Rescue Team

Betty (San Bernardino, CA, US)
Great Support

I got this for my mom-in-law, who is bedridden, last spring. Although She wasn't real willing to let me work on positioning for her her caregiver did and now she uses it all the time. Because of her medical insurance she's unable to have a nurse come out any longer and put that padding to protect her coccyx and I am seeing how it looks like bone wanting to poke through skin with not much muscle tone around there. So now I'm investigating whether I should get a second one so that she can lay on her back because she's laying on either side and I would think it'd be nice to lay on her back sometimes And I certainly do not want to see her get a bed sore which I can see how it can happen so quickly!
So so glad this was made Thank you Thank You THANK YOU!!

It works great. So much better than using pillows.

Hello, Joan!
We're so happy to hear the cushion is working out for you!

Peace of mind

I was very concerned about my brothers skin and needed to make sure he didn’t began to break down and the pillow was the solution

I love the product unfortunately mom passed away three days later after I received it.

Love it

Was such a blessing to talk with the founder I was amazed the time she spent talking to me.
She has such a loving and caring heart.
Will tell all my friends about this product .

Extremely pleased

I use this under my legs with the open side facing towards my head. I’m bedridden and use this for 10-12 hours a day. Very comfortable and glad it stays put!

Excellent

Pillow was for my grandma and doctor approved. It’s great for her bed sores there healing well with this pillow.
