Recommended neck pillow after FUT surgery?


Recommended Posts

I'm planning for FUT surgery and a little bit concerned about being able to sleep the first few nights. I know you can't sleep on your back or side, but the back of your head obviously is healing from FUT extraction, so I was thinking about sleeping in my recliner with a neck pillow for the first 3-7 nights. Does anyone have a recommendation for a good post surgery travel pillow? I was looking at this one.

I think that's a great choice. I received a hospital grade one which was honestly fine as well. You just need something to protect your head/grafts when you move to get comfortable when trying to sleep. You'll be pretty tired from the surgery, medications etc so feel confident in knowing that.

Check with your surgeon as well if you want their feedback and input. They often have tried and true products that they either give patients themselves or can recommend to you.
