JT spend the majority of his time in his cast on a twin size blow up mattress located in the main living area of the house. He was comforted to watch his siblings running around and being "part of the action". We borrowed a aerobed mattress that had slightly raised edges to help him keep in position. We had memory foam pillows and other pillows we used to prop him up during his awake hours and then position around him during his sleeping hours.
I would include the blow up mattress and memory foam pillows in our MUST HAVE list (more of that to come soon).
Some blogs/tips/other parents said their child liked laying on their stomach. JT HATED it and would scream. We kept him on his back most of the time. He wanted to have a blankie with him at all times and seemed to like his special area (as much as a previously, extremely mobile kid could).
