V Shaped pillows…are they worth having and where's best to get one???

The nurse advised me to get a V shaped pillow to help me sleep post op, do people think they are a must have?

Looking on the internet for V shaped pillows there are loads! Just wondering where anyone got theirs from and if anyone could recommend a good place to get one?

They are a godsend… I got mine from argos for just less then £10.. And it’s been perfect x

Thanks @claire1984 there are lots about and some quite expensive so its good to know you don’t actually have to spend loads! x x

Yeah mines from argos, I used it when I was pregnant so I’m gonna use it for my op too. Xx

Ladies how upright do we have to sleep? Dreading it…xx

I’m 4 days PO and my v pillow has been amazing. Got mine from Dunelm, £10 x

Thank you ladies! x x

Mine was from linen warehouse for 7 pound I love it. Also got two support pillows from asda (two in a pack) fora fiver in the sale. Was meant to be £10. They’re harder than normal pillows so keep you up right. Sleeping up is hard I’m struggling to get comfy x x

Yeah I’m dreading sleeping upright cuss I always sleep on my side. X

Other than my Macom, my v pillows were my best investment. I got two as I’m a fussy sleeper – from M&S (although to be honest, I don’t think they differ much wherever you get then from) and I don’t know how I would’ve coped without them.
As for sleeping positions, I wasn’t advised after my op that I should or shouldn’t sleep any particular way – so I’ve just been doing what feels comfortable. I’m 14days post op today and depending on how I’m feeling each night, my positions have varied. Have had a couple of comfortable nights on my side. Have laid flat without a problem and have slept upright with the v pillows as well. x
