"As an RN, I see The Heart from Spongies fulfilling three key criteria for a medical product: patient comfort, functionality, and cleanability. Patients adore the comfort and support it provides for their arms during blood draws or IV insertions. The Heart's compact design perfectly supports upper arms, forearms, or wrists during IV starts or blood draws. This product is not only cute but also made with medical-grade materials, ensuring durability even with frequent sanitization. I wholeheartedly recommend The Heart to every medical professional who needs to stabilize arms or limbs."

"I was pleasantly surprised by how much The Heart improved my weekly IV therapy. The cushion's contour perfectly fit under my arm, helping me keep my arm still. This stability made it easier for the phlebotomist to locate and access my vein, resulting in a smoother and less painful procedure. I highly recommend this cushion to anyone seeking a more comfortable and efficient venipuncture experience."
"This heart-shaped pillow was a true blessing during my recent series of challenging medical exams. It provided not only the physical comfort and support I needed during long hours of testing but also served as a constant reminder of love and encouragement. It brightened my spirits during a difficult time."
"Spongies Comfort hearts are a nurse's best friend. Patients love them, and they are the most helpful armrest you will ever use for IV placement! My IV success rate went up when I started using these amazing hearts! Patients love them so much they ask to keep them after I've finished the IV!"

"Love the Hearts! Thoughtful, innovative, super smart. Really comforted me while receiving my IV for contrast before my MRI."
"I’ve been a nurse for 32 years and currently work at an outpatient cancer center. I use the heart all the time, the patients absolutely love it! It puts a smile on their day."
Patricia RN, Stanford Healthcare

"I use the heart everywhere in the ER! No more trying to find used pillows that aren't the right height or starting IVs with difficult sticks on random chairs. It fits everywhere and the patients love it. Super easy to wipe after each patient and light and accessible during our busy triages. Thank you, the heart is brilliant."

"I hate having blood drawn because it's hard for the lab technician to find my veins. During a recent MRI visit, I was pleasantly surprised when the technician brought out 'The Heart' by Spongies. It cushioned and elevated my arm for a precise incision that was quick and comfortable. Being poked with a needle is a must-do when it comes to our health, and having a Spongies eases the process. Now, my Spongies travels with me whenever it's lab time!”
“I’m never sure exactly what position I should have my arm in after receiving an IV. This simple cushion made it easy and eliminated any confusion. It is comfortable and allowed me to relax for the duration of my exams. Thank you!”
"I travel to assisted living facilities for PICC lines, and The Heart is the only product that helps me get the job done. Patients always comment on how cute that heart is! I don't start working until The Heart is in my hand; it's such a valuable tool for nurses. Thank you for creating Spongies!"

"I had the pleasure of using The Heart by Spongies Comfort during my recent blood draw, and it made a world of difference. The cushion provided excellent support and elevation for my arm, allowing for a more comfortable and stable position during the procedure. It relieved any strain or pressure on my arm, and I felt much more calm than previous experiences."
