welittle1 26 Posted June 2, 2012 When I broke my ribs, I had to sleep on our recliner couch for 3 months so I know this won't be that bad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pennie 66 Posted June 2, 2012 I slept in the recliner for almost two weeks after surgery... but, I should note that I often slept in the recliner pre-surgery due to back issues. I know a lot of people do OK with propping pillows. But if you have a recliner, that might be nice to have set up for when you get home from surgery. That way, if you want to use it, it will be ready! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
irishmama2004 34 Posted June 2, 2012 I thought about getting one too but did not need one. Yes, it takes a couple of minutes to get out of bed but it only lasts a few days. I was easily able to get out of bed with a tiny bit of pain by day 4. Just didn't seem worth buying a new chair for that. So I wouldn't recommend it. sleeping itself was totally comfortable and I slept like a baby. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alliegb3 112 Posted June 2, 2012 I sleep in my bed. If the acids reflux is up, I prop myself up Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
