Find Best Price at Amazon"This is my review of the ComfiLife Orthopedic Knee Pillow for Sciatica Relief, Back Pain, Leg Pain, Pregnancy, Hip and Joint Pain - 100% Memory Foam Wedge Contour. I wake up every day in pain because when I sleep at night my hips fall into a twisted position. I don't like it under my head, it's too firm for that... but it's really perfect between the knees for hip support at night."
"Since I have back problems, I can't sleep without a knee pillow or something between my legs to get my hips to align right. I've been using my Contour leg pillow for years - and although it helps, I feel like it's not thick enough and it always winds up on the floor by the time I wake up."
"I'd tried a regular pillow, couch pillow, and body pillow."
"Love this."
"This pillow has helped me a lot so that I can now lay on my sides comfortably."
"I would recommend this to anyone experiencing low back, sciatica and/or hip pain."
"It's a bit awkward when trying to roll over at night, but doable."
"I didn't sleep well most nights due to back pain so I thought I would give the knee pillow a try."
Keeps your leg(s) gently in place while awake or sleeping to prevent further injury from tossing and turning.

"After knee surgery (double in my case) they said elevate the legs every day to help with swelling."
"I recently had surgery to repair my Achilles tendon and naturally had to have it elevated for a couple of weeks."
"I appreciate that this cushion, despite its size, can be carried and manipulated with one hand."
"This knee surgery was more painful for my daughter than we expected, and thankfully we purchased this pillow based on a recommendation from a family member."
"Anyone who has broken an ankle, foot, leg or having ankle, foot, leg surgery NEEDS one of these! With pillows I constantly felt like they were going to shift and fall over or that my leg would roll off the pillows if I moved in my sleep."
"Nice, but I wish the leg channel was just a little bit deeper and defined."
"i've had two foot surgeries in last three weeks and have to have my foot elevated and bottom of my foot can touch nothing."

Find Best Price at Amazon"I have been using this leg rest for just over 4 weeks now, after having bunion surgery on one of my feet. Now that I'm up and around more, I use it sideways on my recliner (leg rest on top of the foot portion of the recliner), and outside on the deck (leg rest on top of an ottoman). A couple of other things... As has been mentioned (I think), if you are using this at night while sleeping, it will be difficult to use under the covers.... if you have had surgery (or an injury), it is impossible, as the covers will pull down on your foot. Some have asked about side sleeping with this leg rest. During the first two weeks after my foot surgery, I would say no way... LOL I was too nervous about the position of my foot (even sleeping with my surgical shoe on) and didn't want to cause myself any more pain. In the last week, I haven't even had my shoe on.... but have been sleeping on one side or the other every night. Ended up just putting the blue cover OVER the white one that came on the leg rest, but then I put a towel over the whole thing anyway... LOL There are a few fuzzies on one section of the blue cover that isn't covered with the towel, so I think it does pill fairly easily. I only used the compression feature for the first week or so, but I was using the 'ice' right up until they came and took it off of my foot the other day (I had it for 4 weeks)."
"I purchased this Hermell Elevating Leg Rest due to Edima and my feet, ankles and lower legs swelling."
"In my research I came across an excellent article through Google that in such cases the leg must be elevated above the heart level, since the edema fluid gravitates to the lower points of the body which is to the legs, with the legs elevated the fluid then gravitated to the central area of my body where the fluid would be in the proper area to be dispensed to the proper organs. My injury initially took place the beginning of the second week of June, I ordered the Elevating Leg Rest July 29, 2016, but because of the weekend it was delivered on August 2nd, it is now August 29th and over the past month I have seen an enormous change in both legs. Since I already had poor circulation due to problems from a heart condition; for a number of years I have been battling with edema in my one leg where the veins were damaged in a fall, prescription did help to a point by did not make such a change until after using the Elevated Leg Rest. During the first two weeks of using the Elevating Leg Rest I saw a very slow change in my weight, although the swelling from the edema was slowly decreasing, but it was not as bad as it originally had been, although it had improved to the point that I was able to wear a shoe on my injured leg. It has been a great help after suffering for a month before I found a solution that worked and especially for the use of this Elevating Leg Rest; in one month it has brought healing to both of my legs, but especially to the leg that was extremely injured."
"I had another foot surgery recently and I was searching online for a wedge pillow that my physical therapist's office had and found this Hermell leg rest instead. This is worth the investment if you have to ice and elevate your feet after an injury or surgery."

"As soon as you lay your head on it you sink slightly into fluff that feels like pure bliss, made of cotton and satin."
"With that being said, I purchased the Beegod pillows in June 2017 and it is not January 2018.I have purchased a countless number of pillows simply trying to find one that would be an avenue to a night of magical sleep. After having endured a lot of broken-pillow promises, it is so refreshing to find one that does what it claims it will do."
"Just after purchasing I had surgery which required back sleeping for two weeks and this pillow was heavenly considering I am a side sleeper."
"I like to fold it over so I get the amazing poofy softness but also a little more structure at the bottom."
"It can be super soft and flat if you want, or you can bunch it up to make it more firm and fluffy."
"I was sleeping over at my friend's house and so noticed this soft, fluffy pillow."
"I feel well rested very happy I got this pillow because now that I am pregnant I need a better rest pillow."
Best Bed Wedges & Body Positioners
I was diagnosed with acid reflux disease in 1999 and told to sleep on a wedge pillow that was long enough to support me through the torso. sleep with your head elevated 6-8 inches. make sure your ENTIRE upper torso is supported on an angle. avoid certain foods. Half the width of a Queen Size Bed, the 28" wide pillow ensures you have room to spread out - sleep on your side or your back with space to spare and get the good nights sleep you deserve.

Find Best Price at Amazon"This is a really excellent wedge pillow that is comfortable and helps with reflux (GERD or LPR.). The second was folded in half like the first but inside a vacuum-sealed plastic bag, that was folded in half again and held closed with clear shipping tape, that was itself inside a (smaller) shipping carton. MedSlant has been experimenting with different packaging to (a) avoid carrier surcharges due to larger dimensions, (b) give quality results (e.g. smooths out well upon unpacking), and (c) use minimal extra material for environmental friendliness. Since you want to sleep on the memory foam, there is a "top" and "bottom" to the pillow. You can check that the memory foam layer is on top by unzipping the cover a few inches. I find the pillow very smooth, soft to the touch, yet firm as is needed to provide support. This avoids bending of the spine (uncomfortable) and stomach (could exacerbate reflux.). When on my back I find having my waist an inch or so onto the pillow is comfortable. When on my side I tend to raise myself yet an inch or so higher onto the wedge pillow. It seems a very good balance of soft to the touch, firm support, and giving / forming to the body. I've also sometimes bundled pillows under my shoulders, neck, and head for a similar reason. An article on the Mayo Clinic website recommends elevation of 6" to 9" for reflux. It gives a gradual slope and I can adjust my position to maximize comfort. It's the first time I got a personalized email telling me it was on the way and then again a few days later checking how it was after receipt."
"This was my second attempt at trying to find a wedge pillow to help with acid reflux. As far as the acid reflux when using this pillow....it totally disappeared. The acid reflux became so bad that I had to use the slant pillow. After sleeping several nights on the pillow, I have gotten far more accustomed to the pillow, its firmness and the slant. The relief from the acid reflux that the pillow gives far out weighs any previous complaints."
"My husband is 100% disabled with Parkinson's and other major medical issues, including recent pulmonary problems. I talked to my doctor about the use of a wedge and she said to make sure that the pillow is long and that the angle is gradual. In fact, we just had an appointment with a pulmonologist yesterday who said that my husband's lungs now sound very clear. I will keep my Old Faithful original wedge for people who spend the night with us so they can enjoy the Medslant feeling!"
"Knowing Medslant's quality, I had no qualms about ordering this new wedge pillow."

Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"This Sleep Innovations Contour Pillow is not as dense or heavy as most memory foam pillows on the market, but in my experience it still promotes proper sleeping posture. The pillow utilizes "open cell" memory foam that allows for better air circulation throughout the pillow, which keeps it from heating up as much as denser memory foam."
"• Myth that contour pillow avoid snoring: I read somewhere that a contour pillow will help you avoid snoring, so I chose this one over the regular pillows and spent more money but I was wrong and I still snore :p. • Other options: I found similar pillows in Walmart and Target for nearly about $21-25 but they have less foam density. But If you like your head to plunge in the pillow or probably if you like a thin pillow then you should probably choose one with 1 Lb foam density over this but otherwise from quality point this one is better."
"The problem is not for a manufacturer to change the properties of their product, the problem is to do this without any concept of product IDs or names that differentiate 2 totally products. The prior pillows have a “Sloop Innovations” label. The 2017 is the smaller, whiter version in the photos."
"Unfortunately, the pillow is soft and feels like cheap memory foam which is not even close to the old one."
"Wow, this was so squishy and soft that I sent it back without even taking it out of the plastic covering."

Find Best Price at Amazon"The lever mechanism to raise or lower is very nice and works very well. It took less than 5 minutes to put together, 6 screws and 2 bolts with one screw you remove and replace with a shorter screw. The directions have an assembly diagram showing you putting in the 6 screws and 2 bolts, just like any other directions kind of showing you how it all fits together before starting with the directions. HOWEVER in this case because it is so simple the diagram is your instructions, then when it says STEP ONE, you really are on step 3, you must put the thing together by the diagram (6 screws and 2 bolts with a washer for the 2 bolts) BEFORE you go to step one, which is removing the retaining screw and then inserting a short screw so that the stand can raise and lower."
"So you might look at this table and think that it's a hospital table and yes, that is where you probably have seen a table like this. First a little about the table. One thing that makes this table different than other lapdesk type tables is that it is very narrow. The table has four wheels that all lock so that the table is secured and won't roll. I have not found the table to lean or tilt even when everything is sitting on the end of the table."
"This is the second table I purchased."
"excellent product but my relative broke it when trying to put it together and it is too difficult to return."
"I purchased this table on 2016 01-23 and liked it so much that I purchased another one on 2016-03-01. NOTE - Weight limit doesn't seem that important until the weight of whats on the table (my laptop) slowly bends then snaps the metal frame."

If you use this product in something that is not a hospital bed with sides, you may need something to secure this mattress to the bed to keep it from sliding. The box indicates a pressure range from 70-130mmHg, but the instructions manual indicates a range from 35-130mmHg (0.75-2.5psi, roughly). This product will aid in the prevention of bedsores when used alongside standard medical practice for preventing bedsores, it will NOT prevent bedsores on its own. The electrical cord requires a 3-prong outlet."
