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

I read reviews before I purchased this item. Some say you have to leave out 48 hours before you can use. I did not have that issue, it plumped up right after opening. Although I did not use it right away. Once I did, I am in love. I have swelling in my ankles due to a heart condition and also I could absolutely get my weight down and I may not have this problem all the time. It does not get my feet above my heart but it sure does help because it is pretty high on top of my ottoman. I sit and watch TV or read on laptop and it feels so good to have my feet on this. The thing is super comfortable on my legs and feet. It is soft but also strong enough not to make leg marks. It has two parts a thinner one and a thick one and I have them stacked up together and that gives a lot of lift. I am really glad I decided to buy it. On my ottoman I can pull it right up to my chair and then pull the wedges right up to behind my knees almost and that is the best position for me as that is the most comfortable for me. But everyone will have their own way of using it. If you are on the fence you should definitely give it a try. I almost forgot to mention it has handles on the front so you can pull it close and that makes it so much better than fighting with it to get the position you want. I am glad they thought that out.

Great and simple. The top does have gel foam which makes resting limbs nice. The lower section of the top piece is foam as well but without gel. The bottom detached piece allows for a desired height. There are handles on the front and sides of the top foam piece so you can adjust the entire leg rest as you are lying down, no need to get up and down. You can keep the product clean by using a sheet to cover it during use or remove the cover and clean it on gentle and air dry completely. The order everyone is writing about is accurate but due to the plastic shrunk wrap. It goes away if you keep it near a window or in an open room after 3 days top-don't let that discourage you feom purchasing this. I would buy more products from this manufacture. The reduced price was great and I purchased 2! Try it out!

It's comfortable, affordable and convenient. It's great for leg and feet elevation. The fabric is very soft and sturdy. The pillow is adjustable.

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.

The two separate pillows allow for three levels of elevation. I find the choices come in handy to meet different needs. The foam filling is firm and comfortable. Although I haven't had the pillows for very long, I have found them helpful in reducing pain in my thighs. The width allows for some room on either side so that if I turn to sleep on my side (the position I assume once I'm asleep) my feet have somewhere to go.

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.
