I try to not use a pillow under my knee ever, until I want to fall asleep. I'm going to try the bed tonight and just take my pain med so that I'm not laying there for hours in pain. Thank you for your response. I really appreciate the support!

I did not realize how important this was- as my knee hurt so badly fully extended. I ended up having to have an MUA at 11 weeks (manipulation under anesthesia) as scar tissue had built up so much, hindering extension and flexion. If and when I have my second knee done, I will be reevaluating all that I do. I thought I was following post-op instructions and doing as much physical therapy as recommended.
Best wishes.
