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

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!

It works great. So much better than using pillows.
Hello, Joan!
We're so happy to hear the cushion is working out for you!
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.
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 .
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!
Pillow was for my grandma and doctor approved. It’s great for her bed sores there healing well with this pillow.
I am using the 2 rescue cushions on my dad and he says he is comfortable
We are using this cushion on my terminally I’ll husband with a bedsore. It makes the positioning so Much easier and comfortable for him. Thank you so much!
I love Bedsore Rescue® Positioning Wedge Cushion for Medical – with Non-Skid bottom. I got it for my husband who is bedridden and gets pressure sores. This keeps him from laying directly on his sores and helps them to heal more quickly. It is easy to use and he says it is comfortable and it beats using pillows under him.
Bought 2 for my husband post-surgery. The pillows have proved to be amazingful comfortable in providing supplemental yet gentle support for his back when seated on upholstered living room arm chairs or couch. Wonderfully unique and suitable for even this somewhat formal setting.
Bedsore Rescue® Positioning Wedge Cushion for Medical – with Non-Skid bottom
The best support for preventing and healing bedsore issues
The pillow is amazing so I contacted the company about purchasing a second one. They took the time to explain how to use the product and offered me suggestions and techniques. This is a great company with a wealth of knowledge on caring for bed bound patients. Highly recommend their products!
Fastest shipping I've ever seen (same day delivery!). Still perplexed how they managed that! Bedsore pillow a must for anyone dealing with sores. I credit healing to regular repositioning and use of this incredible jewell bedsore pillow. Thank you Jewell!
My husband's stage 3 bedsore was not getting better, and positioning using wedges and pillows were uncomfortable. After 3 weeks, we started using bedsore rescue and bolster pillow and three weeks later, his bedsore is healed. He was comfortable. This was an essential tool for my husband's recovery. Very high quality product.
Bedsore Rescue® Positioning Wedge Cushion for Medical – with Non-Skid bottom
This wedge cushion works great! It's really easy to slip under the back to position it. At first glance at the length I wondered if this cushion would need to be smaller under a smaller body, but the shoulders and hip comfortably lay on the cushion. In fact, there is much more comfort when laying on the cushion than when there is no cushion at all!
The rehab center where husband is did not care for the cushion and told me to take home
Hello Darlene,
Sorry to hear the Rehab facility refused to use the cushion for your husband. I am curious to hear what criteria they base their decision? What they are using in leu of this cushion to prevent prevent pressure injury on your husband and do they have results to demonstrate what they are doing is more effective than using this cushion? You and your husband deserve a through explanation.
I'm the Director of Staff Development at a skilled nursing facility as well as the project manager for our current state grant on prevention of pressure injuries. I have hosted numerous presentations regarding the grant and like to provide hands on training. After emphasizing the importance of repositioning residents who spend extended periods of time in bed, it's a sweet surprise that I was referred to Bedsore Rescue! Staff complained about needing 5 pillows to properly side position, and of course, we don't have that many pillows in our facility. Staff love the concept of the Bedsore Rescue wedge and residents mention that they are comfortable, while keeping the pressure off the low back and coccyx areas. I initially bought 4 but just received my second order of 4 more. As our grant progresses, I will be purchasing several more. I highly recommend these wedges!
