I’m only 8 days out, but I purchased a pillow through Amazon that helped me sleep upright. Actually use it in my bed & when I’m on my couch. Here is the link incase your curious.

I also have a king-sized pillow on either side for supporting my arms, and a lap desk on my bed for my phone, remote, lip balm. I had bought gauze for cushioning incisions under compression garments, but it’s thin and not helpful enough. My nurses suggested maxi pads! Perfect thickness and the backs stick to the insides of garments to help hold them in place, and they don’t stick to wounds - perfect! Ask your surgeon’s office about what OTC pain reliever they’re ok with you taking. Mine would only allow extra strength Tylenol, no ibuprofen. Think in advance about what you’ll be able to use to drink out of while in a slightly reclined position. My go-tos were too long to use in that position! Disposable mattress covers (or puppy pads) are good to have, in case of leakage from incision. Make sure you have an extra garment of whatever kind your surgeon puts you in, so you have something to wear while the first is being washed. I just bought an extra from my dr day of surgery. Bromelain and Arnica are great supplements to consider to assist with healing.

I’m 2wpo TT w/MR, lipo, and BL and this is what I’ve been using. So helpful that it’s adjustable! I created a little cocoon by putting a king sized pillow on either side so I can rest my arms on them. Very helpful due to the swelling at the sides, under my arms.

When the set arrive, I was a little upset at first because two of the memory form wedges seems to be air-pressed too much and couldn't get back to their original shape. I put them aside for a couple days and they grow back up.
This set does not have any review when I order it. It is just a bit cheaper and has one extra wedge.There are some other options more popular you might check out.
