I imagine that it's probably some sort of custom-made shape of wood and metal that fits onto his stump. A suspension system of a mix of harnesses, straps, belts and sleeves. Depending on the severity of the amputation site, it varies. I don't imagine it would be very comfortable to sleep in... and Hiccup probably needs to take it off every so often to allow the skin to air out. Blistering and irritation could be a problem, so I expect there may be some sort of cream or medicine he applies to it to prevent infection or irritation. Gothi might have some sort of special product for Hiccup? :)
