Alpha Medical Osteoarthritis Knee Pad - Nighttime Knee Pain Relief - Knee Pillow - Knee & Hip Alignment Brace – Side Sleeper Knee Pillow - Sciatica & Back Pain Relief Pillow (Small)

I have advanced osteoarthritis & loss of knee cartilage for which I've been sleeping with a small pillow between my knees for several years. The pressure of my knees on each other if I sleep on my side is very painful when I wake up.. I saw this product & figured it's a worth a try. Very convenient & effective. One knee pad is sufficient for that purpose. I just position the pad a little to the inside. The padding is thick enough making it unnecessary to have one for each knee. Pillows slide out where this does not. Great for traveling as it takes up much less room in a suitcase. If you didn't bring a small pillow along, the ones at hotels are cumbersome to try to place between the knees. This has enough padding to alleviate that pressure on the knees. Stays in place & doesn't slide out during the night. It is also small & convenient enough to travel with.

I have a lot of arthritic knee pain that wakes me multiple times during sleep. I've tried a regular pillow between my knees and two different pre-shaped knee pillows. The pre-shaped pillow are too bulky and tend to hurt my hips. The regular pillow has to be repositioned with turning, so it results in waking from a sound sleep to turn. This is the first item that I've found that provides pretty good comfort. I hate elastic and I have to say, they put minimal elastic to be bothersome. Additionally, the cushion stays in place. Overall, I've had improved sleep and much less knee pain in the mornings. I think finding the right knee pillow is a personal choice. I'm sure the curved out knee pillow work for some, but not for me. This cushion is very easy to use and really works! I am unable to comment about the longevity, but it looks like an easy to wash item. It feels like cotton and the cushion is soft but firm and sewn into place. I recommend sizing per the directions listed. I initially thought about buying the largest size but measured myself and ordered the large and it fit perfectly.

As a side-sleeper, sometimes my knees ache from having the bones right on top of each other. I've tried knee pillows, but every time I turn to the other side, the pillows have to be manually adjusted and placed again between your knees on the other side. I can slide this onto either knee and no matter which side I'm sleeping on, the "pillow" is always between my knees. I'm sleeping more soundly and without knee pain. I give it a 4 instead of a 5 because the fabric isn't particularly soft, but the benefits outweigh that issue.

It didn’t help with knee pain as it said.

Well, it is a nice product and it would have worked, but it's too tight. I measured carefully and according to your measurement charts I fit within the XL size. But it's just too tight. Cuts off the circulation actually. Really too bad because it would have worked well. Too bad you don't make an XXL size. I would buy it. As it is, I can't use it.

I am 60 years old and was having trouble sleeping when on my side with my knees together. I was going to have my wife make me something out of foam and a ace bandage and then I found this and it works great! In fact I ended up buying another one for our weekend house. I am 180lbs and the foam does wear down some but it has relieved my pain from my knees rubbing together. I have had the first one for about 6 months and it is still holding up fine. I have only wore one at a time on just one leg but I could see the benefit of wearing one on both legs if you are a little over weight it would give you better support and maybe offer relief from back pain too. Make sure you measure your leg about 5.5 inches above your knee to get the right size and there is a top and bottom when wearing it. The elastic does not bother me like some other reviews but it is not as tight on top as the bottom is for me but it stays in place just fine. No more fighting to keep a pillow between my knees!

This device does adequately pad knees and improve alignment, however, it is too constricting. I am 6 feet tall, 155 pound male with slender legs and purchased the medium, following the chart's recommendation. It felt snug the first couple of nights but nothing too uncomfortable and did not cut off blood supply. After a few nights I noted some minor puffiness in my foot. By day 10 the swelling was more pronounced and was accompanied by numbness in the foot. After stopping wearing the pad the swelling has gone away. Although this pad does not cut off arterial blood supply to the foot, nor does it stop venous blood return from the foot, it does cut off normal lymph fluid drainage from the foot. I do not have any vascular health problems or any medical problems for that matter. Anyone with circulation problems of any kind should avoid this type of product that acts like a tourniquet and is potentially cable of causing real problems.

Very comfortable for sleeping overnight. Cushions knee far better than using pillows. Does not constrict like daily wear knee pads. Highly recommend to anyone with nighttime knee pain.

just the rght enough cushioning & compression for sleeping, but wish the cushion was on 3 sides, which would be better for side sleeping

Great service. Product Exactly as described

For some time it has been painful to sleep on my side with knees together, but with the knee pad, my legs can lie on top of each other without pain.

Great idea but does not work in practice as padding too light for when I rest one leg against another

As a medical professional, I had my doubts at first about the thickness of the padding, but having used it for several months, it is amazingly effective and comfortable. My wife has been using hers for 6 months and is thrilled with it. Washes very well in our laundry machine, every 2 weeks and allow it to air dry. Then they feel as good as new.
