This foam pad really impressed me with how comfortable it is. From the very first night, I noticed a big difference: my body feels more supported, it doesn’t sink too much, and it provides a firm yet soft surface to rest on. It’s perfect for elevating your legs, relaxing your back, or simply resting comfortably. The material feels cool, high-quality, and very pleasant to the touch. What truly surprised me is how much it has helped with the swelling in my ankles. Elevating my legs on this foam has improved my venous return and significantly reduced pain. My legs feel lighter, and I sleep so much better now. Absolutely worth every penny — highly recommended! Read more
I was suprised when it showed up. Shrink wrapped in a roll about the size of a yoga mat. There was no smell for me like other people have stated. Also, got it's shape pretty quickly. I was able to use it with a couple hours. I was worried it wouldn't be high enough to elevate feet but its perfect. Angle supports back of legs/knees. Firm but comfortable. I've even been able to maneuver to my side and still be able to elevate feet comfortably. My only concern will be washing it. Having a difficult time trying to find a cover that is the same size shape and not silky. Until then I'll probably just wrap it in a old bedsheet to protect it Read more
Just what I need to rest more comfortably. The firmness and positioning are just right for my body. While it’s large and bulky, I don’t travel with it so that’s not a problem. I’ve had it a while and and it has held its shape. I definitely recommend this Read more
As other reviewers have said, this product is well made, arrives appropriately packaged, expands to full size quickly, does not have a bad smell, is wide enough for both legs without fear of falling off, and is initially quite comfortable. (I’m 5 ft 5 inches, have severe bilateral knee problems, and purchased the 8 inch pillow for under $30). I find that my most damaged knee begins to hurt significantly after a few minutes of use and I am not able to sleep using this pillow. That said, it is initially very comfortable, so I plan to work on finding some accommodation that will make it work with my specific knee issues (add an extra pillow, half moon support under the knee, etc). The criticism regarding sliding is accurate, IME, and the lack of straps or handles indeed makes it difficult to adjust placement while you are using it. I believe Velcro and the rubber backing you buy to keep rugs from slipping will fix both problems very easily, but it is annoying to have to retrofit a brand new product. Still, this seems to be an excellent value if it works for your specific leg problems. I recommend this with the caveat that it doesn’t work well for some leg problems and you may want to add nonslip backing and “handles”. Read more
My daughter is 22 , has fibromyalgia but otherwise healthy. Her friend/roommate at college was teasing her how she is so extra that I sent her this to use (I have one i got when I got lymes disease). She had her friend use it after work one day. She doesn't think she's extra anymore. If ya know, ya know! Not the same as pillows! This helps so much with circulation and just helps the blood flow and makes my pain so much less and same with my daughter. It takes pain off pressure points and just eases that pain with the firmness in the elevation that elevated pillows can NOT. It helps so much. We both think of this as a necessity and not an EXTRA. Do yourself a favor, don't consider this an EXTRA, your wellbeing and overall general feeling of not being in pain and anything you can do to ease your pain is a necessity,NOT an extra, it is totally justifiable and you shouldn't need to explain to any friend or family member. . Don't hymn and haw about it. Be gentle with yourself and treat yourself with love and care. You DESERVE to ease your pain!!! You deserve to be more comfortable!!! That's not extra, that is necessary!

I've been meaning to get one of these, and I finally did. Absolutely thrilled with the quality and comfort of this bed wedge! Took a nap on it as soon as it arrived and it's SO comfortable! Feels nice and soft, but doesn't get pressed down when I put my legs on it. I was apprehensive about the quality of the cover, as the pictures don't tell me anything, so I wasn't expecting much. I didn't want the velvety version, as that can be hot and I want to put my legs up in the summer, too. The "black" cover is NOT black, but I wasn't expecting it to be. It's a very attractive grey, not even a charcoal, but not too light, either. A good stretchy material, to fit the pillow exactly, and made very well. It looks like it will hold up well, even with my cats walking across it. And it's big enough so my feet don't dangle over the edge as the model's do in the photos, which is good. The cushion expanded to full size the moment I opened the wrapper, and there was no objectionable odor at all. Do not hesitate, buy it and you'll be happy! Read more
