This knee pillow is a game changer for me as I sleep mostly from my side and when I wake up my body aches but since I have started using this knee pillow my body doesn’t ache and I have been sleeping better, it doesn’t have a weird Smell, the appearance is beautiful, it’s firmness but soft and very effective, it can fit on any knee and the pillow thickness is perfect.

PACKAGING: Vacuumed packed in a clear plastic bag.PRODUCT: Memory foam knee pillow.FUNCTION: This came vacuumed packed but it did not take long for it to expand to its intended shape once opened. It appears well made. The memory foam is high density, meaning it is quite firm and the cover is plush. It comes equipped with a strap that is secured on one end via Velcro.I have very bad back pain, either sciatica or a herniated disc. I suspect this is aggravated by poor posture, particularly in bed as I tend to favor front sleeping, which I know is very bad. So I will literally try anything to alleviate the pain. However, I do not have the money to just throw at anything, so I purchased this having read some positive reviews (and with a degree of desperation).I found the leg strap (as it is) inadequate. The Velcro fastening is a little pointless. I just slip my leg in and out without unfastening the strap. Plus, the pillow does not stay in place during the night as the strap does not grip my leg sufficiently. I would have preferred to see an elasticated strap. I feel this would grip the leg better and accommodate different size legs.This also comes with a small business card that has a QR code which enables you to access the e-book. I did not find the literature very useful. The only useful information I obtained was that you should sleep on the effected side - so if you have pain running down your left side you should try and sleep on your left side, with your knees bent toward your head, and the pillow between the knees. This prevents a twisting through the lower back as your knee drops to the mattress. This made sense to me.On first use I experienced no discomfort in bed. I did find myself having to re-adjust the pillow throughout the night as it does not stay in place. I had a good nights sleep with no pain, plus it actually prevented me from rolling onto my front.However, for the first three days the pain got worse during the day. Not constant, but as soon as I bent over (even slightly) I would get a sharp, intense pain in my back that was so acute it made me cry out and my legs buckle. I considered whether the pillow was making my condition worse, or if my back was simply recovering from being abused for so long. Well, I am now on day four and the bouts of pain are less frequent although just as intense. So I do believe the pillow is helping me. Certainly I am sleeping much better.At the time of this review the memory foam knee pillow was £19.95. Yes this is a lot of money, but the pillow is well made and more importantly, it can aid with maintaining proper posture in bed. I would recommend.

I’ve been using this knee pillow for a few nights now and I’m honestly loving it! It’s really soft but still gives great support. I wake up feeling way more rested and my back and knees don’t feel sore like before. Plus, the cover is super easy to wash. Totally recommend!

Really comfortable. I like that it straps to your leg so you don’t have to worry about it falling out or not being in the right place. Has helped my sore back and hips loads.

My 2nd knee pillow now. This isn't as good as the one it replaces. Unfortunately the zip isn't concealed and often I feel it against my skin in the night which isn't great. While the leg strap is adjustable with velcro it's not overly generous and is not elasticated like my previous one was - which was much more comfortable. It is supportive though - just room for improvement.

Exceptional product in bringing relief when sleeping and not really knowing you are wearing it. Cannot praise it enough as a temporary relief from 24/7 pain. And at such little cost. Brilliant!

I’ve had really bad knee pain and flair ups out of nowhere - the worst would make it almost impossible to walk. The worst was not being able to sleep at night due to the swelling, or causing more damage whilst unconscious.I hopped straight on for something to elevate and hold my knee in place. This was the cheapest well reviewed option in Amazon and I will say - I see why. Arrived really nicely presented in a plastic zip bag, smells like foam but really soft and well made. Whilst not easy to sleep with at first, the strap really helps keep it in the right place and kinda forced me to sleep properly with a bend in my knee. Works well for back sleepers and side sleepers - also used as a head rest when reading haha!Since using I have had a scan to find I Hoffas pad syndrome from hyper extension of my joints. Something I’m now getting physio, insoles and swim sessions for. This pillow is still really helping but my flair ups are rare which is great! Also 5 months in - no wear at all to the pillow, amazing.Not cheap cheap, but great for price.

Great little pillow, perfect size to travel with and super comfy and soft. Using at night for my achy legs after a workout!
