Abstract: A sling to hold and support a pillow or other stuffing material for use by patients during their recovery period from major surgical procedures such as cardiac, abdominal or pelvic surgical procedures. The sling supports the pillow or other stuffing material from the patient in a position to enable the patient to easily and quickly use the pillow or stuffing material as a "cough pillow". Supporting the "cough pillow" in close proximity to the area on which the surgical procedure is formed and in a position for ready access and grasping by the patient, enables the patient to have free use of their hands and upper extremities but yet maintains the pillow or stuffing material in position for immediate use. The sling includes a casing constructed of flexible, fabric-like material which may be rectangular in form or other desired shapes with one surface of the casing having an opening to enable insertion of a conventional hospital pillow which has been folded or other stuffing material such as "fiberfill" or other similar material. The casing is provided with an attachment strap or straps to secure the sling to a patient in close proximity to the area of a surgical procedure and in a position for ready access by the patient thus enabling the patient to use the sling and pillow or stuffing material as a "cough pillow" especially when a cough response occurs unexpectedly and spontaneously.
