Alpha Medical Osteoarthritis Knee Pad - Nighttime Knee Pain Relief - Knee Pillow - Knee & Hip Alignment Brace – Side Sleeper Knee Pillow - Sciatica & Back Pain Relief Pillow (Small)

I have been very pleasantly surprised at the knee pad. It does exactly what it says it’s going to do. Easy to put on and doesn’t move around once you have it on. Excellent substitution for a pillow that’s constantly getting lost.

Immediate relief !!! I was suffering from severe sharp pains in my knee from side sleeping. The pain was in the back and outside of the knee and when I would get out of bed putting any pressure or bending my knee would cause sharp pain. After a few nights with this the pain has decreased to a very slight ache and going up and down stairs no longer hurts. Also keep in mind I am 60 yrs old and have had surgery on this knee so some degree of aching is age related. . You will have to experiment with placement. I find that I have to place the cusion on the inside towards the back of my knee not centered on the side. Once you find the correct placement you may have the same positive results I have had. The item is well made and if it lasts 3 months I would consider that a great deal. Going through 4 of these a year at $15 each is a steal compared to the costs of meds, dr visits and trial & error rehab methods all of which didn't work in my case.

Even though I returned this item, I'm still giving it 4 stars. It works exactly like it says it does. It stayed on and in position, and for me, provided the right amount of lift or space between my knees. I used the size guide, and the size I ordered fit me. However, this product is not ideal for someone who sleeps with a strong bend in the knee. Because of the compression used to hold it in place, when I bent my knees, it became too tight and uncomfortable. (I sleep with my knees bent about 90 degrees.) If you sleep with a slight bend in the knee (like in the photo pictured), this is a great product, and I would highly recommend it!

Well, it is a nice product and it would have worked, but it's too tight. I measured carefully and according to your measurement charts I fit within the XL size. But it's just too tight. Cuts off the circulation actually. Really too bad because it would have worked well. Too bad you don't make an XXL size. I would buy it. As it is, I can't use it.

This works great for back and hip pain. Stays in place. Comfortable.

Thoughtfully designed. Places a pillow/pad right where you need it, and it doesn't move out of place while you sleep. Can feel a very little bit snug at first, but I barely notice it after I've gotten accustomed to wearing it. **It is important to be sure to order the correct size!** Too big won't stay in place, and too small won't fit. I wish they would make an equivalent product for ankles. I've tried improvising a bit, but these seem to be best used for knees. (I know others have also wished for an ankle version, so there seems like there is a market for it.)

Although I was very hopeful that this product would alleviate annoying knee pain while sleeping, the product was unable to satisfy my needs. First, the product is NOT soft-in fact, it is really nothing more than a mid-grade set of athletic knee pads with a hole cut out of the pad where (theoretically) your knees would contact. It is very uncomfortable to wear-the material is a tight elastic band that is rough to the skin-just like an athletic knee pad-nothing soft about it. The pad itself is rather thin. It would be helpful if it were thicker and larger. Overall, I found this pad to be disappointing. I originally ordered a large-it was incredibly restrictive, so I ordered an XL, which was not much better. The longest I could tolerate wearing it was about 40 minutes. It was a waste of money for me. If you are looking for a set of knee pads to play competitive volleyball or tile your floor, these might be worth purchasing. If you are looking to relieve knee/back pain...keep looking.

Not bulky pad. Has open hole foam pad within the sleeve that helps keep it in place....and the whole knee sleeve is stretchy that also helps maintain its position.

Great service. Product Exactly as described

For some time it has been painful to sleep on my side with knees together, but with the knee pad, my legs can lie on top of each other without pain.

As a medical professional, I had my doubts at first about the thickness of the padding, but having used it for several months, it is amazingly effective and comfortable. My wife has been using hers for 6 months and is thrilled with it. Washes very well in our laundry machine, every 2 weeks and allow it to air dry. Then they feel as good as new.

just the rght enough cushioning & compression for sleeping, but wish the cushion was on 3 sides, which would be better for side sleeping

Great idea but does not work in practice as padding too light for when I rest one leg against another
