Leg Elevation Pillow White

I am really satisfied with this wedge pillow. I have sciatica and my physical therapist suggested that I try elevating my legs at a 90-degree angle to alleviate pain so I could sleep. It's very difficult to achieve this angle with regular pillows. I finally decided I had to get serious about something that would work and this does! I have a very comfortable pillow that helps me to elevate my legs to an angle that works for my condition. It's great to have a tool that means that after I have done my exercises to reduce my pain I can go to sleep without my position in bed undoing all my exercise work. The pillow is the size indicated and only took a couple of hours after unpacking it from its squished packaging to plump up and reach its maximum size. I haven't had it very long so I haven't had occasion to clean the cover yet so I can't comment on how easy it is to take off and wash. I would definitely order again based on my experience so far. Added later: This pillow has retained its shape, firmness, and size. The cover is easy to remove and clean. It's still doing its job for my pain! I love it.

I had post tibial tendon surgery and this was perfect for keeping my leg elevated above my heart after I returned home. I'm a side sleeper, so sleeping at night was a challenge, but then again wearing a post surgery boot 24-7 for six weeks was a challenge anyway. Both my legs fit on it, I'm not that tall and it supported my whole leg with my heel hanging over the edge. It has a soft fabric covering that would catch on the velcro bits of my post-surgery boot. The snags didn't bother me, as it has a single use which was for recovery. Besides, I figured that slight resistance kept my foot in the correct position. My leg never rolled off the edge, perfect for my needs. It didn't make me hot, and I usually get bed hot in the middle of the night. Sometimes when I just needed to turn, I'd tuck my good leg under the wedge. My doctor stressed being non-weight bearing and to elevate my leg as much as possible at least for the first week of recovery. I went longer than he required, mostly because it felt good to have support under my leg. Then when I began PT and had exercises to do at home, I'd use it as a support similar to what I used during PT.

Its just the right height and slant for my legs/knee to prop legs up comfortably. I have sadly reached and age, and thanks to Sepsis sustained enough organ and body system damage that with in a few hrs of working, I have stay puft marshmallow man legs. its not a good look, nor a comfortable thing. I've been propping with body pillow and even a memory foam pillow...neither worked well because my knees were unsuported and they started to complain about it. This, after you get it outta its vacuum packaging puffs up in about 30 minutes to full size again. Has no weird smell, cover is soft and not scratchy, foam is firm enough but gives enough. not sure about cooling as its to cold in the house to see if that does anything but I don't notice that its any warmer either. I've been using it since it got here 4 hrs ago, my legs already feel better, even the dog thinks its a nice pillow to lean up against. But to find relief this fast, when hours before I was doing the body pillow/memory foam one and not getting as much relief, this thing is perfect, for me.

I walk a lot and at the end of the day when I want to recline and and relax this leg support has been fantastic. It's super comfy firm but soft and has a really nice quality stretchy cover that can be removed and washed. The top part that is flat appears to be longer than the angled portion in the advertised picture however that's not correct, the flat part on Top is actually a little shorter than the angled portion but for me that works out great because I love having my heels hang off of the end of this as it's much more comfortable. Thinking about getting one of these for each member of the family

I don't understand the negative reviews on this product not plumping up. I took it out of the package, set it flat on the bed and left it alone. It started to poof up wishing 15 minutes and took about 90 to make it all the way. Just to be safe, I left it alone overnight before putting it to use. It really did help my husband with his hip replacement surgery. I personally liked putting pillows behind me on the couch and propping my legs up on it while reading when my husband didn't need it. I put it in a huge storage bag and sucked the air out of it. Then I put it in a big box and taped the heck out of it so it'll stay in storage until we need it again.

I rated this product a three because it works and is quite comfy but...... based off the pictures provided in marketing , I was under the presumption that the pillow was "WIDE LEGGED" well to my obese pals it's not big leg friendly , comfy! but not friendly if your in a pinch it'll work out for a lil while but later you will need to order a custom one or get one that is truly bigger nor wide legged and has the leg compartment. Hope this helps : )

This elevation is perfect and swelling is always relieved. I use it constantly to help circulation and pain from swelling on healing fractures. The physical therapist said it couldn’t be better! It’s comfortable….firm but soft. I haven’t tried any of the other described uses…..but perfect for leg elevation..instead of dealing with pillows that don’t stay in place and are not high enough. I highly recommend this….

I am going to have foot surgery in a few days, and the doc warned that I will need to stay off the affected foot and keep it elevated above the heart to keep it from swelling and to reduce pain. I decided to order this pillow to help me to elevate my feet after experimenting with a pile of too-soft pillows that kept shifting and didn’t support my legs and feet very well. When I first unboxed the pillow, I wondered when it would finally fluff up to its appropriate size, if ever. I plopped it on the sofa and went off to do errands and spend time with my boyfriend. I got home several hours later to find the pillow fully expanded. I sat on the recliner, positioned the pillow on the footrest and put my legs and feet on the pillow. This seems like it will do exactly what I need- elevate the feet above my heart.. The pillow is firm enough to support the full weight of my legs snd feet without issue. Sitting or lying with my feet elevated that high doesn’t feel natural or comfortable yet, but I’ll learn to adapt. This pillow should be a big help for keeping my feet up where they’ll need to be for the next couple weeks. Useful purchase.
