Adjustable Leg Elevation Pillows for Swelling, Cooling Gel Memory Foam Wedge Pillows for After Surgery, Sciatica Back Knee Hip Ankles Pain Relief, Leg Pillows for Sleeping Blood Circulation

The image shows a different size compared to original. It barely ela eyes the legs. Typical product that the image sells, but the real product is completely different.

This wedge pillow has been a great buy. The breathable cover keeps it comfortable, even for extended use. I’ve used it to elevate my legs while napping, which really helps with circulation, and it also works well as back support when I’m sitting up reading in bed. Very versatile and well-designed.

I just finished my cancer treatments and with bloodclot in my legs, this is a great relief on my lower body and elevated my legs very comfortably. I like it can take the bottom piece off and use the elevation in my porch recliner. I highly recommend this product

The packaging was very good. It was well sealed and clean. Took a while to unpack so you cannot damage the packaging material in case you wanted to return it. If you have to return it will be a heavy task because the foam was very compressed to fit the plastic sheet tube it was shipped. I do not know if you can do that manually. The instructions says that it takes at least 24 hours for the foam to fully expand to its normal size. It expanded faster than that. The quality of construction is not excellent but acceptable. It is great to have the extra layer cushion to adjust the height of the wedge. The memory foam is of good feel and make you comfortable. The wedge shape and length it fits the length of my legs well. The part I like is the two handles on the side of the user to accommodate the wedge at the proper location to your legs. That is a good idea. The only fault I can see at this moment after only one night of use are the Velcro holding the two parts together. They are not strong enough. They should be at least two of them per side. The two components, the main wedge and the 1inch filler slide relative to each other. Not too much but sufficient to misalign them. In general, after one night of use I am happy with it. The covering material is soft and of nice feeling. I do not know how durable it will be. Let's see what happens after longer use. It fits very well my Lazy boy recliner, and I can really relax on it or sleep on it.

I like this cushion. I think it's worth every penny. I can easily elevate my legs above my heart level at night when I go to sleep, or during the day when I take a short nap. The leg elevation of 6 inches with this cushion works great to reduce the swelling in both my legs. I still haven't tried the extra cushion, shown at the foot of my bed, which allows 8 inches of elevation. I like the neutral gray color. The foam is a perfect combination of firmness and softness. The cushion is wide enough for big folks like me. The workmanship is fine. There is a slight smell for the first few days, but it goes away.I don't have a partner to massage my legs while they're elevated on this cushion to help drain fluid buildup, so I've learned a trick or two to do it on my own. Ankle pumps work. Or, I use one leg to massage the other. Think of a foot fight, or two feet playing games with each other, or a heel of a foot on one leg massaging the foot and lower portion of the other leg. I just create any kind of movement and pressure on the lower legs while they're elevated on this wonderful cushion to help drain the fluid buildup down towards the trunk of my body. It gives me the urge to urinate after about an hour or so, but I hear this is normal for lymphedema drainage.The very expensive contraption in the corner of my bedroom is an automated, pneumatic compression sleeve for both legs (paid for by insurance). It gives both legs an automated massage over a 45 minute period to help drain fluid. This cushion that I got from Amazon works about as well as the machine, but costs much less. I actually don't use the machine that much because it's so hard to put on and take off the sleeves with the severe osteoarthritis that I currently have.October 9, 2025 update:I still use the cushion every night, and sometimes once or twice during the day, to keep my lower leg swelling under control. The cushion has held up well. One important thing I learned is that my heels have to be above my knees for proper gravity drainage of fluid from the ankle area of my feet. Even at max elevation of 8 inches with this cushion, my heels do not elevate above my knees, so fluid buildup in my ankle area does not do away. The symptom that I get to alert me that heel drainage is not working is mild pain in my heels after a few hours. As a matter of fact, going back to when I first started to develop lymphedema, before I was elevating my legs at night, that was the first mysterious symptom I got, pain in my heels. So, my lesson learned is, not only must I elevate my legs above my heart level, I must also make sure my heels are elevated above my knees for complete drainage of the lower legs. It's hard to do with this cushion because of the flat surface at the top. A uniform slant all the way to the top might be a better design. I developed a workaround with this cushion. I raise the flat surface up higher by putting one or two cushions underneath to increase the elevation from 8 inches to 12 or even 14 inches. Sometimes, I even put a black styrofoam cylinder underneath to create my own artificial slant to the overall leg lift cushion. Imagination is key here. Kludge it up so it works to get the heels above the knees. The brown bedspread photos of the kludged up cushion are new.

This really does help take strain off of the lower back! I found it 100% comfortable and it really does help- only wish I learned about this sooner. I have DDD and Sciatica.UPDATE 6-3-2026 While the elevation does help, I found myself waking up to just the base. It seems that it does not take much movement to sperate the 2 inch portion from the 6 inch portion with the Velcro. I ended up buying a "one piece" 8 inch elevation pillow that stays put as it is only one piece. I thought I would update for anyone who may be prone to moving around a bit.
