Cushy Form Leg Elevation Pillow - 8 Inch Wedge Pillows for Legs - Elevated Support for Back, Hip and Knee Discomfort & Post-Surgery w/ Washable Cover - White

Great product

I have back problems and a circulatory problem that prohibit me from laying flat. At home, we purchased “bendy beds” (that would be- thousands of dollars in adjustable platform/mattress beds) and I love it! Could not live without it! But going away for a weekend has become just about impossible for us since this next step of my back problems has arisen. Even some of the best, most comfortable hotel beds have become impossible for me (can’t even lay on my side!) and I end up getting maybe an hour of sleep and a horrible, horrible headache in the morning… so we just stopped trying to take weekends away. Then an out of town wedding for a friend came up. I didn’t want to miss that so I thought I would try a memory foam wedge. We stayed away 3 nights (different hotels as we made other stops along the way) and after the first night, I was able to stop grilling the hotel clerk about what type of bed they had, was it memory foam, was it comfortable, was it innerspring??? It did not matter! These foam wedges did the trick (bought 7.5 inch rise for head and 8 inch for feet, both “Cushy Form” brand)! No headache in the morning, no backache, perfect night’s sleep all night! Almost wish I had thought of this before spending all that money at home on beds! I want to mention- please don’t get discouraged if you have slight aching when you first lie down. I did for about 10 minutes while my body adjusted- and only the first night (you probably just have to “find your place on the wedge”). But I can’t say enough about these wedges… they have completely changed my “fear” of hotel beds! … Can’t say it’s going to make air travel a reality anytime soon unless I can figure a way to re-vacuum them back down and then maybe borrow the maid’s vac at a hotel?? … but baby steps! I’m very satisfied with both the wedges I purchased! Oh and- some have said they are too stiff. They are indeed stiff. If you are looking for a pillow replacement, this is not it. I also have a therapeutic memory foam pillow that I use on my bed every night and I was able to use that with the “head wedge” because it was stiff enough to support it. I tried several other pillows as well (such as small ones just to take up the space behind my neck) but was able to use my usual. Do what is right for you in that regard- don’t hurt yourself. But for me, it was sleep as usual- like I was at home (and yes, it was a lot to haul around, but it gave me some life back). And- they don't stink! No plastic/polymer smell at all! The instructions claim there can be a little bit of a smell for a few hours as they air out once taken out of the vacuum-sealed bag, but to be honest- I did not notice any (and I'm very sensitive to smells!!!). So happy with this purchase!

I bought this to alleviate leg swelling, as I've been directed by my drs to elevate my legs several times throughout the day. Elevating them seemed to cause knee pain, so I got this pillow in an effort to support the area behind my knees while elevating.Note: This thing looks like it will never achieve its intended shape or size upon removing from the box. I'm used to things coming in vacuum-sealed packing these days, but even after removing all the packing from this it TAKES TIME for it to get to its actual size and shape, so please don't panic. It does eventually get there. But I was so tempted to just send it back immediately but now am super glad I didn't, and glad that I waited for as long as the instructions tell us to! ☺ It took about a day for it to completely grow into it's own. But like the instructions say, it can be used within 2 hours of removing the packaging.I bought 2 elevation pillows from 2 different brands, and I like each one for different reasons. I like the 8 inch high one I bought of this brand ... it's a nice height if you're going to sleep using it. This pillow is also very firm and supportive.The downside for me is that being a tall female, the edge of this pillow does not extend as far as I need in order to prevent my feet from dangling over the edge. Yes i realize that for a woman, being 5'11 isn't that common, but give me a break that's certainly a man's average height, which means this pillow (like soooooooo many other things these days as companies try to cut costs and corners) is only perfectly sized for Less Than Half of the World Population. I'm tired of being penalized for being born tall!! I'd much rather spend the extra $5 or even $10 to not cause more leg health problems by having my feet unsupported for 8 hours a night and going through the hassle of having to return something.Since the other leg elevation pillow I purchased is also for short people, I'm just going to keep this because I doubt I'll find something better. But that really stinks.The cover on this pillow is adequate, it is comfortable thank goodness, but it starts pilling within about a day or two of use, so putting your own pillowcase on top of it is preferable, but I haven't tried yet to find a pillow case that'll fit this.The case washes well, I've washed it once. I did put it back on wrong but that'll be a project for another day!Overall this is way better than just using regular pillows to support your legs, it's just one pillow as opposed to needing a flock of them on your bed each night, and it does support your knees.That said please companies stop midgetizing things to reduce costs. 🙏🙏 It's potentially deforming an entire society and affecting people's self-esteem as we walk about in jeans that are too short, etc etc etc! 🙄🙄🙄🙄

I wish I would have gotten this product sooner! Why did it take me until getting vein ablation to get this, 🤷‍♀️. I will almost not need it anymore. However, I wound up having another vein irritated and this was the only way I could have my leg not touch anything else, which helped calm down irritation.This pillow also helps with lower back pain while lounging in a chair.Bonus, if I'm not using it, my cat is happy to sit on it like it's his throne!I highly recommend for your legs, neck, or kitty.
