Zen Bamboo Elevating Leg Rest Pillow Memory Foam Leg Rest Pillow - Reduces Back Pain & Improves Circulation - Includes Removable Bamboo Cover

I'll start with a couple of points from reading previous reviews .This product is for pain relief and comfort and is designed to be used whilst laying on your back. So pointless complaining it's uncomfortable to use it whilst sleeping on your side. Also , yes, it is smaller than advertised when you open the package , BUT if you leave it for a while (as in instructions) it will revert to normal size. It is firm but not to firm and is comfortable. The reason I bought it was I needed something to elevate legs after hip surgery and eleviate swelling. I am tall and found that if you push the pillow forward so your heels are just on the edge it's more comfortable. This left a gap between back of thighs and slope which I filled with a cushion. So for a tall person it could do with being a bit longer but easily solved with the extra cusion. Was it comfortable ? Yes. Did it alleviate swelling ? Yes. I'm a side sleeper but got used to sleeping on my back. I wish I had found this when I had my first hip operation.

Bought this for my pregnant wife, who works as a nurse, and she absolutely loves it. It really helps with circulation in her legs and is especially useful after long shifts on her feet. The only downside she mentioned is that it tends to get dirty quite quickly, so it may need regular cleaning. Overall, a very practical and thoughtful product that works really well—highly recommended.

Good product. Multiple uses. Firm and supportive. Wide enough for both legs.

Not going to lie; when it arrived all shrivelled inside the packaging I was expecting it to be soft and not really fit-for-purpose. How wrong I was. I left if for several hours to puff itself up - it had been vacuum packed with the air sucked out - and I was suitable impressed with how high it has risen and how large it is. I work in a job where I'm on my feet for 10 hours (and more) each day so like to raise my legs when I get into bed to give them a bit of relief and get the blood flowing again. Again, expecting it to sink a bit when I first popped my feet on I was mightily pleasantly surprised when it didn't dip at all. In fact I've been using it every night for over 2 months now and it is still as solid as the first night I used it. Thankfully solid doesn't mean hard; it's firm but not like rock, is the perfect height and I love that is has the two levels of rise so you can tuck it right up to you before popping your legs on. It's helped with the back issue I was having too. Definitely worth investing in.

I love this cushion. I broke my ankle at the beginning of December and had surgery on it on Christmas Eve. I managed ok with a couple of cushions for a while but they kept slipping off each other. This cushion has been a game changer. It’s soft to the touch whilst also being very supportive. It is wide enough for both legs should you feel inclined, and is light enough that I can move it around on the bed easily with my good leg, It’s breathable, doesn’t get hot and has a removable, washable cover. What’s not to like?

There would be five if it wasn't for the cover. It seems to be quite nice, but after washing it you have to fight hard to put it on the pillow because it is incredibly tight. The first time I put it on for ten minutes cursing the designer, then I had to take a shower because I was sweaty. The pillow is also quite narrow, which is a problem for less people, because although I sleep on my back, I fall asleep on my side so my legs do not fit well on the pillow. It does its job and reduced the swelling of my poor legs, but when I buy a new one in the future, I will look for something else.

Very good but bigger than I expected

10 out of 10! This leg rest pillow has made such a difference and is really aiding my recovery. I had surgery on a broken ankle and need to keep it elevated. Normal bed pillows didn't give enough height and slipped around, and were surprisingly very uncomfortable. Having had very mi imal sleep for 10 days I was desperate for something more comfortable and found this item. Product arrived quickly, is as described and has been an absolute godsend. It allows for one or both legs to be elevated at the required height to aid recovery, it's nonslip and its comfortable. I would recomend this product to anyone in a similar situation.

Hab es für meine 93 Jahre alte Schwiegermutter gekauft.Sie findet es super toll.Am liebsten würde Sie den ganzen Tag ihre Füsse hochlagern.Es ist weich und schmiegt sich sehr angenehm an.Daher 5 Sterne.Ich werde es nochmal kaufen für meine Frau.

Bonne taille pour surélever les jambes lors d un soin réflexologie ou autre soin / durete de la mousse nickel on ne s enfonce pas mais confortable

Hace su función perfectamente, no se deforma con el peso de las piernas durante toda la noche, no llega a ser muy dura tampoco,manteniendo una postura obtima para una recuperación en la que se necesite tener la pierna elevada .Tamaño adecuado para que quepa toda la pierna yo mido 1,73 y le he tenido que añadir un cogin pero porque me resulta más cómodo tener toda la pierna apoyada hasta la parte del culete. Muy bien por la funda para mejor higiene.En definitiva para una elevada posición de la o las piernas en una recuperación de una operación es muy acertada esta opción. Aunque al princio dude por el precio y barajaba otras obciones más baratas, como algo hinchable o menos costoso gracias a las opiniones me decidí por esta y no me arrepiento. La volvería a comprar. Espero que te sirva mi opinión desinteresada y te recuperes pronto!

I like to use the pillow for back support when reading in bed

If you're contemplating one if these for any kind of foot/ankle issue, just do it. I bought this back in '18 with the intention of training myself to be a back sleeper and reduce wrinkles. But, I never could get used to it and stuck this in the closet and forgot about it. Every now and then a friend would notice it and be like.... ummm.... is there something you're not telling me about? Is this some kind of sex positioning aid? Lol, never have tried it for that. Maybe tho... Anyways, in '21 I had a lisfranc injury. If you don't know what that is, consider yourself blessed. Legit the worst foot injury possible. Intense swelling and pain. Ice and elevation were my only friends. Day 1 I really struggled to keep a stack of pillows high enough without sliding off. Adding ice and casts and boots, forget it. You have to like keep your leg muscles flexed to stay up, not relaxing. Day 2 I remembered that "sex pillow " lost in my closet. Game changer. If you have any injury, just get it. Even if you don't think you will need it long and your issue is minor, it's worth it. The pillow battle will get old quick. Even a minor sprained ankle will flare up at times. Even just a long day on your feet, it will feel good. Don't have to use it for sleep, just an hour or 2 with some ice is heaven. I also have a cradle like one to compare some of the pros and cons. It's one of the tallest available, so most effective elevation. (Bonus tip, if you're in it for a long haul and are temporarily needing even higher, get one of those foam balance pads and slide it under to add a little extra height. You'll probably like it for PT at some point anyway.) If you're having surgery, you will want serious elevation. Its wide enough for both legs, unlike the narrower cradle shaped ones. And it's nice not feeling all restrained. If you're creative, you can even figure out laying on your side while keeping your foot elevated. That being said, there are times where a cradle shape is better. With a heavy cast or boot and a seriously high level of pain, it's nice to be a little more protected. And if you have skinny legs and no cast, you can fit both legs on it, kind of. The biggest complaint is that the fabric cover is, well, hideous. Ugly and medical looking. Not very soft, very synthetic. It gets stringy and pills up crazy easily. Especially when you have a fiberglass cast rubbing on it. I'm pretty sure a more creative person could make a nice slip cover for it. But I just put a towel over it. It's not a deal-breaker. The cradle one is not such an embarrassing eyesore, doesn't look hideous if you have it out in the living room. And the cover is crazy soft and seems durable enough. Overall, if I had to pick just one, I think it would be this one. Every inch of height helps with swelling and pain. And it's just more versatile outside of acute situations. But both are good. And if aesthetics and softness of the cover are super important to you, the other kind might be better. I like having both. Trying to drag one from bedroom to livingroom on crutches is impossible.
