(The night splint treats the wrist. Nobody is treating the arm you're lying on.)
Your hands go numb at night, you shake them out, you drop your coffee in the morning. Here's the part of carpal tunnel and hand arthritis that happens while you're asleep, and why the splint alone keeps failing.

TLDR: Hands go numb at night because your wrist curls under the pillow and your arm gets pinned under your body or hangs across your chest, compressing nerves for hours. The Modular Pillow gives your top arm a cradle and takes your body off the bottom arm. 👇
Pins and needles, a hand that won't cooperate, shaking it out at 3am. That's a nerve being squeezed for hours: at the wrist, at the elbow, or at the shoulder where your whole body weight sits on the arm underneath you. It's your body's alarm, not a quirk.
The classic carpal tunnel trigger is a flexed wrist. Asleep, your hand tucks under your head or curls into your chest and stays bent for hours. The night splint holds the wrist straight, which is why doctors prescribe it. Then the arm it's attached to gets pinned anyway.
On your side, the downside arm and shoulder take your body weight for six to eight hours. Blood flow and the nerves running to your hand get compressed at the shoulder. No wrist splint touches that. The fix is taking your body off the arm.
Give your arms somewhere to be tonight.

The Modular Pillow holds your torso in a supported ~45° tilt against a side rail, so part of your weight goes into the rail instead of down through the shoulder and arm underneath you. Less compression, less of the 3am dead hand.
Your top arm drags across your chest and the wrist bends to fit. The quilted arm cradle bridges the side rail and holds your forearm with your hand tucked flat under an elastic band. Straight wrist, supported arm, no loose pillow sliding out.
Hand arthritis is worst in the morning, and a hand that spent the night curled under your head, bent and compressed, opens slower and angrier. A flat, supported hand is the cheapest thing you can do for the first hour of the day.
Straight wrist. Unpinned arm. All night.

Numb hands can also start at the neck, where the nerves to your arm leave the spine. A head pillow that's too tall or too flat kinks that path all night. The octagonal head module keeps the neck in line with the rest of the body, so the whole route from neck to fingertips is supported together.
Designed by Dr. Aaron Fu, DPT, for bodies that need more than a pillow. Head, torso, arm, hips, knees and ankles supported together, so the position that keeps your arms unpinned is the position you stay in.
Pillow under the arm. Pillow behind the back. The splint. The cervical pillow. The pile costs more than one engineered system and is on the floor by 3am. One connected setup replaces all of it.
Keep wearing your splint if your doctor gave you one. Add a position that doesn't pin your arms, and give your hands 120 nights at home to show you the difference. HSA/FSA eligible.
Your hands shouldn't wake you up.
