I think these are the 5th or 6th set of carpal tunnel braces I've ordered in the past year - 2nd set of night braces, although I've worn some of my daytime braces at night for extra support. These are definitely the most comfortable set I've found. These appear to be & feel very well made...quite a bit better quality than most of the others I've tried. I really like how there are 2 large velcro closures on top & then 1 wrap-around velcro band that gives great support/compression at the wrist. The wrap around band also attaches well to the brace. I really dislike it when the straps don't fully attach & then get caught on clothing etc. These definitely won't do that. My only note is that they are larger than I expected. I am a very average sized woman with average hands & wrists (maybe slightly small wrists). These braces could fit a much larger hand than mine...I would guess up to a med to med/large male hand. This hasn't really bothered me since they are for sleeping but there is a lot of room in the finger area. It hasn't bothered me because there is a well-sized bean-bag that your hand naturally bends around...as a result the space left above the back of the hand hasn't reduced the effectiveness for me. If you are looking for a tight brace from wrist to hand & you are a small to average female these may not be for you. Read more
I absolutely love this clunky, chunky brace. I was diagnosed with carpal tunnel a few months ago. It has gotten progressively worse. The brace issued by the doctor's office helped a bit, but I began to awaken regularly in the middle of the night with tingling, burning fingers. I tried an Ace version, which gave the same results. Researching the web, I learned about this product. It looked big and awkward and I worried that I would not like it. The first night, it felt so HUGE, like a big weight on my hand. But it also felt comforting. It is warm, so you need to get used to that. But guess what --------------- since I bought this, I SLEEP THROUGH THE NIGHT, EVERY NIGHT! The design of this brace curls my fingers forward, which seems to alleviate pressure on my carpal tunnel. The only negative I see is my fingers are a bit stiff in the forward position when I first get up, but it wears off. I just ordered a 2nd brace for when I need to wash the first, since I read it takes some time to dry as it is so thick. I might even wear it occasionally during the day when my hand acts up, although it's made for sleeping because it's heavy and awkward and you can't do much with your hand when it's on. Heartily recommend to my fellow carpal tunnel sufferers. Read more
I've had mild carpel tunnel in both wrists for the last 16 years. For whatever reason over the last 2 months my right wrist has been much more symptomatic. My doctor gave me a brace, but it was a piece of junk that did nothing to stop the pain, burning and numbness I would experience, especially at night. I was waking up in near tears multiple times a night from the extreme pain, and figured I would have to look into surgery to get relief. I ordered this brace as a last resort, and am so glad I did. I've used it for the past 5 nights, and haven't woke up with pain, burning, or numbness once! It is very comfortable, and completely immobilizes my wrist. I have a smaller hand and forearm, so the brace does seem a bit bulky, but it's not bothersome. Please note this brace is only for sleeping in, you will not be able to do normal tasks with it on. Between this and a copper fit brace I'm using for daytime use, I feel like I can hopefully hold off on surgery for a good while. Update 3/17- I took away a star from this product because as I've continued to use it, I have pain in my mid upper arm through the night and morning because of the weight of this brace. I'm going to try the Ace brand night brace as it feels considerably lighter. If you not a weakling like me, and have some decent muscle tone in your arms, it probably won't cause you a problem.

This Mueller Night Support is just what I needed. It not only prevents my wrist from moving but also prevents my hand from bending down while sleeping. I have larger hands for a woman and it adjusted perfectly to where I can where comfortably all night. I think many women have a habit of placing the back of their hand against their face, with the rest of the arm bent downwards at the wrist while sleeping, something that I was thinking was exacerbating to my own carpal tunnel issues. I kept waking up in this position as my carpal tunnel was getting worse. A friend with carpal tunnel said that her doctor told her this is so as well. This brace prevents me from being able to do that, giving my wrist some opportunity to rest and heal. I thought it might be hot to wear and I have not had any issue with it feeling hot. The palm pad feels good - this support feels to me more like it is coddling and nurturing to my hand and wrist, keeping it ever so comfortably in the correct position. My friend also tried this to see how it felt - she recently bought one too! Read more
Great brace! It is so good, that I bought a second one for someone else as a gift. Easy to put on and adjust for smaller or medium size wrists. Wearing it at night has been a lifesaver for removing wrist pain as a stomach sleeper. Read more
Ive had this for almost a year and it’s held up very well. It’s comfortable to sleep in and has good adjustability. It is not a brace you’d want to use for typing or most other kinds of work, but it’s great for sleeping. I bought another sleep brace from ComfyBrace at the same time as this one and not only was it not as good as the Mueller, it literally blew out and spilled the filling while I slept. Read more
