DMI Firm Leg Wedge Pillow for Back Pain Relief (FSA Eligible), High-Density Foam, Bed Wedge Pillow For Legs Elevation, Knee Pain, Post Surgery Pillow, Circulation and Swelling, Pregnancy, Blue

I have a lot of pain in my legs from having severe issues with my spine, back surgeries and nerves. I also have adhesive arachnoiditis which causes me to have intense muscle spasms. I'm also pretty much bedridden bcuz mobility makes things worse. I worry about blood clots so I decided to purchase this wedge to get my legs up above my heart. It also just makes my legs feel better after propping them up. I do want to say this thing is quite hard so I have to put a thin bed pillow long ways that goes up the side and on top of the wedge. It gets painful and my legs and feet go to sleep if I don't use the pillow but I'm ok with using it. Keep in mind that it might not be comfortable if you use a big bulky bed pillow. I've also had total hip replacement on my right side and am waiting to have the left done but I can get both legs up on the wedge easily and be comfortable. For myself the most comfortable position is to turn the wedge with the slope part away from me. It's easier on the knee's that way as well. It's way to hard to use under your upper body. I tried with 3 pillows on top and it was still to hard. For raising the legs up this is excellent and you cannot beat the price. And love that the cover can be removed and washed. Cover is well made and the foam is of good quality. There was absolutely no smell upon opening. I was able to use immediately.

If you have back problems this is the leg rest for you. I have been diagnosed with a bulging disc and bone spur in my lower spine which is touching a nerve. I have been struggling to get a good nights sleep. I have tingling , burning and some numbness in my legs. Have done all of my homework (chiropracter, physical therapy, massage therapy, stretching, strengthening, ice, heat, etc....and lots of Advil. I ordered several leg supports before finding this one (it closely resembles the one they use when you get an MRI). I have spent a fortune on "props"...some very expensive. Believe me this one works! I was hesitant because it is not terribly expensive. But honestly, the last three nights have been phenominal for me...no tingling, no cramps, no jumping out of bed to stretch and walk it off. I have slept through the night and wake up feeling better than I have in months. It is high and very firm which obviously puts my spine in just the right place to take the pressure off the nerve. This might not be the best thing if you are using it as a leg rest, but if you need something for your back, THIS IS IT!

I'm 5'10 and got the 10 inch model. I have tried a few things to help with my sciatica pain (i.e. seat pillows, compression garments, stretches). Not sure if there is a cure for sciatica aside from physical therapy, but i can't engage in that at the moment due to the pandemic (trying to keep distance from everyone and everything). I experience slight pain running up and down my right thigh throughout the day. It is a hard feeling to describe, but its just a feeling that my thigh is not operating as normal. It is lite, but there are moments where it is sharper than usual. I mostly feel it when sleeping and trying to turn from one side of the mattress to the other. Due to the pain, i end up rotating myself to the other side of the bed very slowly. I got this after reading a review that pillow wedges help with sciatica pain. This pillow is to really help me with my posture, to sleep straight in my bed versus sleeping on my side and to help with blood circulation. I feel like i hunch over to help avoid pain to my thigh. As noted, i feel slight pain as if my ham string was ripped, pulled apart, or in the process of being ripped and pulled apart in opposite directions. I got this and i am very pleased with it. It is sturdy and well made. The polyester fabric feels nice against the leg. Nice and cool feeling. I can rub my hands on this material all day. It does help provide slight relief when i wake up in the morning. It is NOT a cure to get rid of sciatica pain. I just wish there was a cure for sciatica because i cannot imagine using this for the rest of my life. Regardless, it helps slightly so that is always a plus.

Perfect for after surgery.

I bought this wedge pillow a little over two years ago to relieve my lower back pain and swelling in my legs. At the time I was in nursing school and was sitting a lot for lecture and studying, and standing a lot during my clinical days. I now work as a bedside nurse, and while I move more in my role, there is still a lot of standing and sitting throughout my 12+ hour shifts. After I get home and shower, the first thing I do, is prop up my legs on the wedge for 15 minutes. It really helps. It has held its shape and support in the 2+ years I have had it and it is easy to remove the cover for washing (and easy to put it back, too).

so comfortable love it

This is really helping reduce the swelling in my legs, and I can even sleep when I use it. It's fairly hard, so if your legs are sore you may need to put a pillow on top of it. I like the height and the shape of it supports my entire leg. My heels come over the end of it, (I am 5'5") but that is not a problem at all. Very comfortable and restful to use while I watch TV, use my phone or read.

Ligero, fuerte, práctico para reposar las piernas.

Muy satisfecha, buen tamaño, la funda se puede sacar y lavar, bien soporte para las piernas, excelente para para el descanso de personas con problemas de dolor de espalda.

I purchased this leg wedge for my Mum who has varicose ulcers and is advised to keep the legs in a raised position constantly. I tried to match the leg wedge which she was given to use during her hospitalisation and despite a great variety of similar products on the market, this product was the closest match. It is an excellent product - the dimensions permit use for both legs, the foam it is made of is firm to hold the legs in an elevated position, but soft enough not to cause discomfort. The design is identical to that of the wedge recommended by my Mum's doctors. The zip cover makes it incredibly practical to maintain a good level of hygiene. Given my Mum's condition the wedge will become a permanent fixture on her bed and only time will tell how durable it is.
