Incredible for EDS and fibromyalgia

“As someone with EDS and fibromyalgia who uses CPAP, this is the first system that actually understands complex sleep needs.”

Elena B.

Nursing is going to be easier

“I’m 32 weeks pregnant and this pillow has been a lifesaver for support and rest. I know I’ll use the arm pillow even more for feeding once the baby arrives.”

Marjorie K.

The difference was immediate

“I track my sleep with a device - first night with this, my deep sleep doubled. Less tossing, no neck pain in the morning.”

Chris J

Safe support after back surgery

“I needed something to stop me from rolling in my sleep during recovery. This held me in place all night without pressure or pain.”

Linda S.

Most people would never spend eight hours standing with bad posture — yet that’s exactly what happens when you sleep.

The Modular Pillow® keeps your body in a clinically supported 45° side tilt, the same position many try to build with stacked pillows, now held securely in place all night.

It relieves pressure, reduces joint strain, and adapts to your body whether you’re hypermobile, recovering from surgery, or sleeping through pregnancy.

If you are currently sleeping with multiple pillows around your body that help get you comfortable for the night, this pillow system is likely to help.

The Modular Pillow is a therapeutic sleep positioning system designed to maintain a consistent, supportive posture during rest. It provides structured alignment from head to ankles by stabilizing the body at a clinically established 45° angle. This position has been shown to reduce mechanical stress on joints, improve airway patency, and minimize strain on musculoskeletal structures. Unlike conventional pillows, the Modular Pillow was engineered to address diverse medical needs.

For pregnant and postpartum individuals, the system facilitates safe side-sleeping by providing abdominal support for the growing uterus, reducing lumbar strain, and maintaining hip and pelvic alignment. After delivery, it offers support for abdominal and pelvic structures during the recovery period, where excessive rotation or collapse into poor posture can aggravate pain.
In patients with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) or generalized hypermobility, the pillow stabilizes joints and minimizes the risk of subluxations or dislocations during sleep. By maintaining the spine, shoulders, and hips in neutral alignment, it decreases episodes of nocturnal pain associated with joint laxity and repetitive strain.
For individuals with fibromyalgia, the consistent support reduces allodynia and mechanical stress that can exacerbate widespread pain. By decreasing the need for frequent repositioning, the system contributes to improved sleep continuity, which as many patients know first-hand, is critical for symptom management.
Following orthopedic (knee, shoulder, hips, etc.) or spinal surgery, the pillow helps protect healing tissues by limiting unintentional rotation or compression. Proper positioning reduces tension on surgical sites, decreases localized pressure, and supports functional recovery.
Patients with POTS or other autonomic disorders benefit from the semi-reclined, angled posture, which can improve venous return, minimize orthostatic intolerance during rest, and reduce nighttime cardiovascular stress.
In cases of chronic pain, scoliosis, or arthritis, the Modular Pillow reduces biomechanical loading on affected joints, maintains spinal alignment, and prevents pressure point formation. This contributes to reduced stiffness upon waking and less exacerbation of musculoskeletal discomfort.
For those with sleep disorders, particularly individuals with comorbid musculoskeletal or systemic conditions, the system promotes stable sleep posture and minimizes interruptions caused by discomfort or malalignment.

THE PROBLEM

Waking up feeling like you didn't actually sleep?
It’s your sleep posture.

<p><br/>Waking up feeling like you didn't actually sleep?<br/><strong>It’s your sleep posture.</strong></p>

You wake up tired because your body fought for alignment.

You think about posture all day — then lose it for 8 hours.

You’re not a bad sleeper — you’re under-supported.

Tossing to get “comfortable” = micro-adjustments all night.

THE SOLUTION

One System.
Six Modular Pieces.

Head Pillow (Octagon)

Angled corners allow the arm to rest beneath without altering pillow height, maintaining cervical alignment.

Side Pillows (x2)

Stabilize torso and hold body in 45° side-lying tilt.

Arm Pillow (Either Side)

Elevates and supports shoulder to offload joint pressure. Works no matter which side you sleep on.

Full Leg Pillows (x2)

Supports ankles to knees for hip alignment and low-back tension relief. Plus, lift straps for easy flips.

Hidden Adjustable Straps

Keeps the system intact all night, even if you toss and turn.

Your Sleep Posture Matters

The Tilt Difference

Clinical studies show that sleeping in a lateral 30-45º tilt results in:

85%

reduction in pressure injury risk

9/10

EDS patients report non-restorative sleep w/o support

50%

reduction in shoulder joint torque vs. standard side- sleeping

THE Solution

Designed for the sleep struggles most pillows ignore

EDS & Fibromyalgia

Pregnancy & Postpartum

Post-Surgery Recovery

Sleep Optimizers & Biohackers

Not “aesthetic.” Actually works.

The Difference: Consistent Positioning

Features	Modular Pillow	Pregnancy $30-299	Medical Positioning $2,500+

Still Skeptical? That’s Okay.

“It looks bulky.”

Like things tidy? It stores like 2 pillows.

“What if it’s not right for my body?”

It adjusts to your size, sleep position, and needs.

“I move a lot in my sleep.”

It’s designed to hold you in place without feeling restrictive.

“I’ve wasted money on pillows before.”

That’s why we give you 120 nights.

Frequently Asked Questions

Love this pillow so much

I got recommended this by my OB bc all the other pregancy pillws weren't working for me. I'm due in 4 weeks and I'm annoyed at myself for not buying this earlier. It works wonders on my pain (sometimes it was my back, sometimes its my knees somtimes it's my ankles...) and I feel like I'm sleeping deeper. I still get up obvs but I fall right back asleep like it's my own little cocoon!

Customer service thank you

Returned for a new pillow bc old one had an issue w the strap. Customer support was kind of delayed but I got it and didn’t pay anything extra

I would pay $1000 for this

Expensive, annoyingly. But 1000x worth it. I'm sleeping almost an HOUR deeper on my Fitbit!!!

Pregnancy + EDS

I've been recommending this pillow to literally every single one of my mom friends and everyone i see at each hospital baby care class. I have trouble sleeping and this is literally the best pillow I've ever slept with, hands down. I've had bbhugme, I've had the chinese ones from Amazon, Medcline and Pflufl and probably more than I can count. You don't really understand how important sleep is and how you different you feel until you sleep well one night. It's just not comparable. I got one for both my parents as well. Not sure they'll use it lol but it's gifts for the holidays coming up.

Worth it

I was so skeptical at first. It took me a few minutes to get used to the feel of it. Then I just slept the deepest I ever have. For someone with HEDS who dislocates and subluxes joints in sleep frequently then wakes up all night with pins and needles from nerves not getting enough oxygen, it was amazing not to wake up in the night in pain constantly. It supports every sleep position, you just wedge yourself in this perfect nest and your shoulders are held in place. I prefer a firm head pillow and this is firm but also joyously sinkable whilst supporting your neck. I woke up feeling so good I cleaned my entire house then did a 2 hour ballet class with no pain. This provides the recovery so you can live a full life <3

20 years later….......

20 years ago I had a spine injury and have been waking up in pain ever since. This keeps my spine straight and hips in place so I don’t twist at night. Huge difference in the mornings.

Good w/ its pros and cons

It's more of a system than a single pillow. It takes a bit of adjusting and experimenting to get it right, but once everything’s in place, it does improve alignment compared to stacking regular pillows. The arm pillow is a nice touch for side sleeping. On the down side, I found some pirces are a bit too soft for me, but I'm 260lbs so I feel that way about most pillows tbh but thought this could solve it. My partner took if over bc she actually prefers it for hip and knee support and loves it. As an alternative to juggling five pillows every night, it’s worth a try.

Not quite what I was expecting

This thing is more a pillow system than a regular pillow. It says it can replace all your pillows, but that depends a lot on how you normally sleep. The set came vacuum-sealed to save space, and when I cut it open and gave it a day to expand, I was a little worried about how soft the foam was in certain pieces. On its own it doesn’t really hold me up firmly—if I don’t secure everything just right, parts of it shift and I end up feeling like the support collapses a bit (imagine trying to cinch a belt around a soft pillow). If you’re expecting it to lock you in perfectly no matter what, you might be disappointed.

As for performance, once you’re set up right, the comfort is actually pretty solid. It does keep the spine in a better position than just stacking regular pillows, and the arm pillow feels nice if you like to hug something. But the support feels more geared toward holding you gently in place rather than really locking you in. It would be nice if they offered firmer inserts or a way to stiffen the sides a bit.

Overall, not bad, but not the miracle I was hoping for. My partner actually uses it more than I do—she likes the extra cushioning around her hips. For me, I think I’d probably go with a simpler wedge or just keep rearranging regular pillows until they collapse.

helped my sciatica pain

I had awful sciatica in my second trimester and nothing helped until this. Having my hips supported and my legs slightly elevated has made a huge difference. I still use it every night even postpartum because it just feels better on my lower back.

Neck and shoulder pain

I've had 2 shoulder surgeries and my bio mechanics are all messed up so my neck hurts all the time, especially after a bad night of sleep (whether that means little sleep or just bad posture). With this pillow I'm sleeping like 80% better than I can remember in a long time.
