Recovery Pillows, aka Cough Pillows, or Heart Pillows, whether they are heart-shaped or not have been popular recovery tools for post-op patients in hospitals and at home users recovering from invasive surgery and expecting mothers for decades. The traditional cloth-surfaced heart pillows have been on the market all the time. If you type "post-op heart pillows" in Google search, you can pull out hundreds of the pillows.

Retailers, pharmacies, patient gift shops and their customers know about this kind of products. But those cloth-surfaced pillows are infection prone, so shoppers are looking for advanced pillows that can help reduce infection risk.

Our EZ-Clean Recovery Heart Pillows are germ-resistant, designed to stop the spread of germs, thanks to the innovative EZ-Clean Sanitary Solution we developed alongside hospitals. See ourEZ-Clean Sanitary Solution(Click).

Best Plush, Inc. has been a fine toymaker for over three decades, currently headquartered in New Jersey with factory network in Asia, specialized in designing, manufacturing, and importing customized teddy bears and other specialty plush items for American business promotion. Most products are assembled in the USA. Our products are marketed through ASI professional distributors.

Our lines include stuffed animals and toys, specialty neck pillows, and post-op pillows.

The post-op pillows, developed in 2016, are for heart hospitals, surgery and recovery specialties for heart, chest, and esophageal specialties​, and healthcare promotion. In response to the rapidly growing demand for infection control products since Covid-19, we have decided to market the patent-pending line through our own sales rep team, instead of the slow-moving distributing system.

We are also willing to open our plush lines to the reps who have the right contacts and ambition for expansion, by establishing a custom-tailored program.

We welcome passionate independent sales reps to grow with us. Your marketing experience, our trending products, together with our huge inventory and a reliable manufacturing network, will assure a fast growth and long-lasting success.

Best Plush, Inc. is eager to work closely with all ideal sales reps to market the EZ-Clean™ Recovery Heart Pillows to thousands of medical related gift retailers, get-well soon gift stores, maternity shops, pharmacies and more while infection risk and infection control remains a hot topic across the country.

While we are open to considering all reasonable requests, we are ready to provide any of the following supports through a rep agreement. ​

We set a high-bar for our product standards. For our cardiac cough pillow, we first looked at the limitations of traditional cough pillows on the market. We knew that our product needed to pinpoint the best fabrics, fillers, shapes, sizes, and colors to meet the established goals, building up the detailed specifications gradually. We worked closely with our distributors, cardiac and heart surgery hospitals, and factories to outline the key requirements and considerations for our pillow:

1. Patient Safety

2. Branding Friendly

3. Convenient

4. Design

5. Socially Responsible

For a more in-depth look at our development process click here

With nine rounds of modifications, our innovative heart pillow was finalized to have a waterproof, removable vinyl cover and an inner pillow filled with microbeads. The pillow is an easy and effective sanitary solution that helps prevent the spread and/or development of microbial infections. During the pillow development process, we also kept user-comfort, cost-effectiveness, and brand-friendliness in mind. We believe you will love our unmatched cardiac cough pillows and find them to be superior to other pillows on the markets.

Consumers and stores are looking for germ-resistant pillows that have gotten much trendier since Covid-19 outbreaks.

EZ-Clean™ Recovery Heart Pillows were designed to stop the spread of germs to any users of the pillow whethere they are at a hopsital, in recovery at home or a pregnant mother before and after giving birth. When vomits, bloods, drinks or other liquids get on an EZ-Clean Recovery Pillow, for exampe, they cannot break through the cover so the inner pillow can stay dry and clean. Germs will have a hard time staying on the smooth cover. And any user can easily wipe the grime off the cover and continue using the pillow safely after spraying a disinfectant.

Heart Pillows aka Cough Pillows have been popular amongst cardiology and many other specialties for decades as a widely used post-op recovery tool. Cough Pillows such as the EZ-Clean Vinyl Cough Pillow made by Best Plush, Inc. are utilized by various patients recovering from invasive surgery at hospitals, surgery centers, recovery facilities or even once the patients have been released and are recovering at home.

After a cardiac surgery, for example, patients face dilemmas. On one hand, when the bone heals, it is critical for patients to protect it from the excess force and limit movement of the chest and upper body. Sternal precautions require patients to avoid activities that involve pushing, pulling, or lifting with their arms for about 6-8 weeks. On the other hand, patients must change positions and get out of bed and get back into bed. In addition, recovering patients must complete deep coughing exercises to avoid common post-op complications such as pneumonia and areas of the collapse of the lung.

Heart Pillows offer an effective solution for the dilemmas that patients and at home users face when recovery from invasive surgery. Guided under the healthcare providers, patients hug the pillows to the chest to splint the external incision and conduct necessary movements. As you can imagine, the pillow provides an extra layer of pressure to counteract any jolting from a movement, cough, or sneeze. It will facilitate proper stabilization of the sternal area and limit pain associated with these exercises.

Our pillow covers are removable so that they can be laundered separately. For a routine sanitation or complete sterilization, you can wash the covers (with the inner pillows removed); up to 20 pieces in one load and dry them on low heat to kill bacteria. Our covers can stay intact for over 15 washes or more. Competitor pillows, however, are a bulky one-piece design. One load can only wash/dry 1-2 pillows at a time. Beyond the lengthy wash time, the fiberfill stuffing gets stacked or loses the shape by the second washing.

Our EZ-Clean™ Pillows not only raise the infection control level (Click) that no cloth pillows can reach but also offer many other unmatched benefits, such as

We needed to address the safety and convenience issues that come with the cloth case of traditional pillows. Among several ideas, we chose to create a two-piece design. This component allowed easy removal for laundering and sanitizing. In addition, it would broaden use from one patient to a communal product.

We knew we needed to select a cover material that could be easily-sanitized between laundering. After testing various materials, we found vinyl to be the best solution. Its waterproof feature protected the integrity of the inner pillow, allowing quick sanitation without interruption. The soft and smooth vinyl material would be more comfortable for patients. The durable vinyl would hold fluids and other contaminants at the surface, and allow them to be easily removed by simply wiping them away. The strong material can hold up to hospital-grade cleaning supplies, assuring the highest level of sanitation.

No. The inner pillow is protected by the washable vinyl cover. The inner pillow is not designed to be washed and should be removed prior to washing the vinyl cover.

EZ-Clean™ Pillows are our own brand, patent pending, and manufactured by pur compnay,Best Plush Inc., sold only through our sales forces. You should not expect any direct competition as there aren’t any products on the market that have the same features and as large of a target market as ours.

We can also assign a territory to our eligible sales reps on the base of a physical region, connections with a chain, pharmacy, list of contracts or other channels for sale. At Best Plush Inc, we do not encourage competition amongst our sales reps.

At the rep's request, a free sample will be shipped to an eligible potential customer.

The vinyl cover is very strong; remaining unmatched by fabrics used by our competitors. Our cover can be washed and dried over 15 times and remain intact. It works well with the standard detergents. The washing is very efficient; standard machines can wash/dry roughly 20 covers per load. Competitor pillows typically can only wash 2-3 pieces at a time.

Our EZ-Clean™ Recovery Heart Pillows, aka Cough Pillows, were born to tackle the common issues that had been lingering for decades since the cloth cough pillows were first introduced to the healthcare industry. We developed this innovative post-op tool at the requests and under the guidance of top cardiology and vascular hospitals in the United States.

We clearly understood their top concern was the infection risk, so we locked the infection as our top target. We discovered the top reason for the problem was the porous cloth surface that absorbs the germs and liquid leaks inside easily. Therefore, we made tremendous efforts in studying and experimenting, and successfully developed a special waterproof vinyl that is reinforced with antimicrobial protection, smooth and germ-resistant, washable, and dryable. Now liquid and other grime must stay outside so anyone can wipe it away and spray a hospital-graded disinfectant, and the pillow can be reused safely and promptly. This simple measure helps prevent, remove, and kill pathogenic microorganisms easily. Effortlessly, germ spreading from the pillow to the vulnerable patients can be minized in a a medical center or at home.

We also learned from the health providers that the cloth pillows are hard to wash, and the fiberfill filling gets hardened and stacked in its 2nd or 3rd wash. Therefore, we changed the one-piece bulky design to a removable two-piece design, and the stuffing replaced with microbeads. Now, medical facility just washes the removable covers, 7 to 10 times faster than washing the whole pillows. The microbead filled pillows will never get hardened, instead will just offer cozier sternal support.

Since 2016 when we started developing the EZ-Clean Recovery Heart Pillows, we have been pleased with the progress that we have made in resolving many critical issues that stem from cloth pillows. We really appreciate all of the healthcare providers for their active involvements in the process including the constant requests, guides and demands from the cardiac specialists, head nurses, and quality/infection control directors.

Without their contribution, we could not have identified the problems and cause, not mentioning the discovery of the simple, practical, and cost-effective solutions that benefit both patients and at home users.

We created a zippered opening at the back of the pillow for easy removal. As with every step of the process, we took safety into consideration. We added a safety flap over the zipper, allowing it to remain completely hidden during use. This was engineered to keep the inner pillow secure and protect patients and staff during use.

In 2016, our team was approached by an experienced distributor for cardiac facilities who wanted to address the safety concerns of the traditional cloth pillows that have been used for years. “We need a new post-op pillow that can be easily cleaned and help reduce the risk of infection,” was the consistent request of cardiac facilities.

A distributor had worked with three different plush suppliers for this project, but received no satisfactory product or design. The distributor challenged with a task: create a safe post-op pillow to replace the tradition cardiac pillow that has been around for decades.

With our extensive background in custom plush products, we knew we could bring a solid solution. View the video below for an extensive look at our innovative cough pillow.

A microbeads inner pillow was determined to provide the best function for cardiac rehabilitation. The microbead-filling met the firmness qualifications necessary for sternal support during use.

The microbeads are secured in a quality-sealed casing that easily slides into the zippered vinyl cover and adds additional safety and security measures.

Our EZ-Clean™ Recovery Heart Pillows are independently tested to pass the safety laws and have been used in many large US hospitals and hospital systems. The test reports were issued by third parties that are recognized in the USA.

Any users of our heart pillows, regardless used at hospitals or at home, can rest easy knowing these pillows are trusted by hospitals across the country.

The tests coverage includes following:

• Mechanical Properties

• Physical Properties

• Flammability

• Heavy Metals

• Lead Content

• Phthalate Content

• Latex content, and

• California Prop 65

What attracts the healthcare provders and users most? Our EZ-Clean™ Recovery Pillows can minimize the risk of infection that has been perpetuated by cloth heart pillows among post-op patients.

Since 2016, our development of this post-op recovery line has been under the guidance of top cardiac hospitals. Our teams have worked together to prioritize infection control and patient safety by innovating at every opportunity along the way, and successfully developed the EZ-Clean™ Sanitary Solution. With this patent pending system built in the design and construction, our EZ-Clean™ Recovery Heart Pillows makes the infection control and prevention easy, effective, and economical.

Particularly, each of our EZ-Clean™ pillows has a removable vinyl cover that is waterproof reinforced with antimicrobial protection, germ-resistant, waterproof, smooth and wipeable, washable and dryable, soft an comfortable. Any liquid, for example, including mucus, blood or other bodily fluids cannot penetrate inside, instead, must stay on the outside and can be easily wiped away with a piece of tissue or cloth. Spay with disinfectant onsite and let the patient continue using right away. The competing cloth pillows on the market, however, have a rough, porous fabric surface; and when they get wet, the liquid runs between weaves and seep inside, being impossible for nurse or anyone to wipe it or stop it. Our EZ-Clean™ Sanitary Solution built in our vinyl-covered Heart Pillows helps prevent the spread of germs from the pillow to a vulnerable patient, and among other safety features, our pillows reduce the infection risk significantly without adding cost, raising the infection control to a new igh level no cloth heart pillows can reach.

These features attract the medical facilities and post-op patients as designed for, and also provide desired benefits for nonpatient users who need a vomit-proof cushion including pregnant women and the ones with stomach flu, acid reflux or heartburn, and who prefer the spill-proof, hygienic, hypoallergic or ecofriendly products.

We educated ourselves on the necessary key features by working with clinicians experienced in the post-operative cardiac recovery process. We began by looking at the limitations of traditional cardiac cough pillows.

We outlined the concerns of the hospital:

• Bulky, one-piece design

• Porous, uneven cloth casing with absorbant fiberfill stuffing

• Cloth pillows are not patient-safe, as they allow bacteria to easily spread to an immunocompromised surgical patient.

• A cloth pillow is not cost-efficient, as it is difficult to keep clean and dry.

• When soiled, patient may require backup pillows.

We took the project and setup the following goals:

• Lightweight, two-piece design

• Removeable, waterproof cover and functional filling

• The pillow must be resistant to bacteria.

• The new pillow must be cost-effective.

• The pillow must be capable of being cleaned in the patient’s room to avoid interruption in care.

This includes, among others:

• Answer client's questions.

• Offer technical support, if any.

• Handle delivery and quality issues.

• Assist sales reps with taking necessary follow-up steps to earn repeat orders.

Following cardiac surgery, it is critical for patients to limit movement of the chest and upper body. Sternal precautions require patients to avoid activities that involve pushing, pulling, or lifting. These precautions are typically prescribed for 6-8 weeks.

Cardiac cough pillows serve as an excellent therapeutic tool when educating patients on maintaining these precautions. The pillow is a visual and tactile aid that allows nursing and therapy staff a way to train patients on the importance of protecting and stabilizing the area during recovery. Proper techniques can promote a speedy recovery process.

Our pillows were developed to address the concerns of hospitals that have used our competitors’ pillows for years. We took into consideration patient safety, cost-effectiveness, and branding needs of our customers.

Our pillows feature a removeable vinyl cover that is waterproof and easily sanitized during care, whereas traditional pillows have a cloth casing that is porous. Compeitor pillows must laundered when contaminated, causing a disruption in services or even an replacement pillow.

Our cough pillow consists of two pieces: an outer cover and inner pillow. The outer cover protects the inner pillow and keeps it in an ideal heart-shape. The two pieces work hand-in-hand offering a firm, yet comfortable support, allowing each to be purchased, cleaned, and stored independently from one another. The outer vinyl cover:

• is strong and durable; offering long-term use.

• easily cleaned (by wipes), making it difficult for bacteria to stick to or breed on the surface.

• is waterproof, preventing spills, liquids, vomits, blood, or any other bodily fluids from leaking into the inner pillow.

• is removable. The inner pillow can be pulled out from the entrance that is concealed under a flat and controlled by a strong zipper.

• Is washable. A regular machine can wash/dry approximately 20 covers in one load.

• can clearly and brightly display logos, educational diagrams, and messages.

As a plush manufacturer, we design, create, and deliver various promotional products. We can custom design a vinyl pillow in the color, shape, and size of your choice, making your brand colors and designs stand out. Our designs are always FREE.

Makeshift supports, such as folded sheets or poorly positioned pillows, can be detrimental to the patient’s ability to heal. These items are more difficult to keep clean and free of contamination. Our innovative cough pillow is designed to be hugged against the chest to protect and stabilize the area during recovery. Our versatile pillows allow patients to use them in a variety of ways throughout their cardiac recovery and rehabilitation. Our pillows come in different sizes for adults and children and can be beneficial for patients recovering from any type of surgery.

Surgical patients are at risk of developing pneumonia after surgery due to decreased mobility and extended periods of time in a supine position. Patients are encouraged to practice diaphragmatic breathing techniques throughout the day to move blood and oxygen into the lungs and improve circulation. Effective diaphragmatic breathing opens the airways, allowing air into the lower lobes of the lungs. Patients are instructed in coughing exercise to expel mucus from the lungs and avoid infection. Due to pain and weakness in the sternal area following cardiac surgery, patients are often resistant to coughing and diaphragmatic breathing. Instructing a patient to hug the pillow to their chest while coughing or sneezing will facilitate proper stabilization of the sternal area and limit pain associated with these excerises.

Click here to read more about how vital cough pillows are to cardiac rehabilitation.

For recovering cardiac patients, the safest technique for moving from a supine position to a seated position is to roll onto the side and gently push up using the elbow, allowing the greatest protection of the sternal area. Instructing the patient to hug the cardiac cough pillow to their chest as they roll will ensure proper technique. When the patient is not working on mobility or diaphragmatic breathing techniques, the pillow can be used like any standard pillow to support the neck or low back in bed or while sitting.

No! In addition to open-heart surgeries, our pillow is a wonderful tool for other patients. While it was designed specifically with heart patients in mind, patients who have had lung, abdominal, hysterectomy, mastectomy, cesarean-section, and transplant procedures can benefit from this pillow. These pillows can serve as both a physical and emotional support tool for anyone. These pillows can be excellent in providing comfort to patients who are undergoing radiation or chemotherapy, as well as new mothers. The shape, color, and size of our pillows can be customized fit to the patient’s individual need.

Due to their durability, customization, and quality, any business can benefit from one of these pillows, including but not limited to: cardiac and other care clinics, mental health facilities, hospital gift shops, nursing homes, dental offices, medical supply companies, maternity brands, medical transportation companies, and more.
