Soothing Company Half Moon Pillow, Back Pain Relief, Bolster Knee Pillow Provides Support for Side and Back Sleeping - Memory Foam Leg Roll Pillow - Includes A Washable Organic Cotton Cover

When I first opened this, I was surprised at how small it was. Even though there are dimensions that I should have paid more attention to, it looks bigger in the angled photo. That said, I'm probably happier with it at the shorter length, because it's easy to maneuver when you're sleeping. It would work better for both back and side sleeping if it were an inch or 2 fatter. All in all, it is much better/ easier than trying to use a pillow.

I am very hot natured and do not like a pillow all around me in the summer. This type of roll pillow provides much cooler sleep as it is basically just under my neck only. However, this one is too firm for a neck roll. It might be fine for legs. It was very hard even under my back.

TL:DR(short version): This is a somewhat warmth-retaining, too-low pillow for my purposes, and you can find similar options for a few bucks cheaper if those limitations don't bother you. It didn't on its own do what I bought it for - to help support my knees enough to reduce pain, stay cool, and keep me from sliding down off my 7" wedge pillow (to elevate my upper body). I'm a small and short (ie, petite) lady, so I was worried this would be too big, but far from it; the size does make it versatile, but it's not ideal for leg support for the reasons I was seeking. My solution: stuff it into a pillowcase with my old memory foam contour pillow underneath it. It creates a sort of rounded wedge for less money, if you have another pillow lying around. Honestly, I'd still prefer more height than even this hack provides, which already increases it by more than 50%It isn't enough. Lastly, it collects too much heat. I might keep it only because of my "hack" plus the fact that the cooling versions are MUCH more expensive. But cheap, hot, and diminutive half moon pillows like this are available for a few bucks cheaper, so just go for those.

This pillow is super hard, not comfortable at all. I suppose if you are looking for a bolster for a PT table or even for a lash or brow table it would be great, but for in my bed and for sleeping way too hard. I’m sending it back and ordered something else.

Accident left me a quadriplegic. Lower back is always a place of pain. New bed has not been kind so we went looking for something to help with my back problems. So far this is elevating my knees just enough to take some pressure off my lower back and make things a little more comfortable. It’s bounced back Every day after first couple weeks from supporting of my heavy legs all night long. I am anxious to see if it does that for the next several months as well as it’s done it for the first few weeks every day after a couple weeks from supporting of my heavy legs all night long. I am anxious to see if it does that for the next several months as well as it’s done it for the first couple of weeks.

which is just fine if you don't move around. Just lying on my back it works well - but unlike other pillows I've slept with under my knees, it's too firm and inflexible, and too long to move around with at night. I've got to take it out and drop it on the floor when I roll on my side, or pick it up and put it between my legs. Other pillows I've had, you can just get used to moving around with your legs and not even wake up - not so this one. Other than that, it's a good pillow, nicely made and I like the cover and the way they did the zipper. I think I'll re-purpose it as a knee bolster for the massage table, and keep looking for something I can actually sleep with.

Very comfortable and supports back and legs.

I’ve used the standard knee pillow for years with good results. I tried the half moon pillow as an alternative and find it a better choice for me. The length is perfect it can be used alone at the knee area and if my knees are really bad I use it to support my knee as well as the ankle/calf area (this option elevate’s the knee to a higher position) I find having the choice very beneficial. If you choose to lay on your back with the pillow under both knees the size is enough to give support for the lower back. I’ve used for about 2 months and the foam is holding its firmness. I usually have to replace my standard knee pillow once a year. I’ll update this review if I find the firmness of the foam changes. I highly recommend trying this great pillow.
