Adjustable Leg Elevation Pillows for Swelling Cooling Gel Memory Foam Wedge Pillows for After Surgery Sciatica Back Knee

I read reviews before I purchased this item. Some say you have to leave out 48 hours before you can use. I did not have that issue, it plumped up right after opening. Although I did not use it right away. Once I did, I am in love. I have swelling in my ankles due to a heart condition and also I could absolutely get my weight down and I may not have this problem all the time. It does not get my feet above my heart but it sure does help because it is pretty high on top of my ottoman. I sit and watch TV or read on laptop and it feels so good to have my feet on this. The thing is super comfortable on my legs and feet. It is soft but also strong enough not to make leg marks. It has two parts a thinner one and a thick one and I have them stacked up together and that gives a lot of lift. I am really glad I decided to buy it. On my ottoman I can pull it right up to my chair and then pull the wedges right up to behind my knees almost and that is the best position for me as that is the most comfortable for me. But everyone will have their own way of using it. If you are on the fence you should definitely give it a try. I almost forgot to mention it has handles on the front so you can pull it close and that makes it so much better than fighting with it to get the position you want. I am glad they thought that out.

The two separate pillows allow for three levels of elevation. I find the choices come in handy to meet different needs. The foam filling is firm and comfortable. Although I haven't had the pillows for very long, I have found them helpful in reducing pain in my thighs. The width allows for some room on either side so that if I turn to sleep on my side (the position I assume once I'm asleep) my feet have somewhere to go. Read more

It definitely works for my husband‘s swollen ankle would definitely recommend! Read more

Like everyone else, I had to research a wedge for lower spine relief. I have severe sciatic nerve compression and surgery is not an option due to heart weakness. I already have a wedge for severe acid reflux and sleep apnea but now needed one for the legs for nerve pain reduction. This particular leg wedge continued to stand out to me while researching. The fact that it has extra handles to grab and pull closer to your body makes a huge difference. Yes, the simplest thing like extra handles makes a difference in the world and yet no matter reading all the other available wedges that can provide additional features as well, this one just kept my attention, so I bought it. One additional neat feature not shown in the advertised pictures is that I can now lay on my right side in bed with left leg on wedge (see pic provided). It takes the pressure off of the sciatic nerve. I no longer need pillows between my legs. Very comfortable so far. Just one idea to throw out there. During my sleep is when i change position to lay on my back. Thats when the handles come into to play. Just grab and adjust real quick and place legs on the wedge and go back to sleep. I love gradual slope and so far no issues with legs and noticed reduction in lower back pressure and stiffness. The only con i see about this leg wedge is that the Velcro on both sides are cheaply made and are not very strong to keep the wedge and additional platform lined up. Overall, I love my purchase and will have to update as time passes, but for now, I highly recommend, especially for those who prefer side sleeping. Just an added plus to the different ways to use this. Updates forthcoming. If you are on the fence, give it a try especially for the price. Amazon has a great return policy so that puts the customer at a peace of mind. Read more

Great and simple. The top does have gel foam which makes resting limbs nice. The lower section of the top piece is foam as well but without gel. The bottom detached piece allows for a desired height. There are handles on the front and sides of the top foam piece so you can adjust the entire leg rest as you are lying down, no need to get up and down. You can keep the product clean by using a sheet to cover it during use or remove the cover and clean it on gentle and air dry completely. The order everyone is writing about is accurate but due to the plastic shrunk wrap. It goes away if you keep it near a window or in an open room after 3 days top-don't let that discourage you feom purchasing this. I would buy more products from this manufacture. The reduced price was great and I purchased 2! Try it out! Read more
