DMI Wedge Pillow, Leg Pillow, Bolster Pillow, FSA Eligible Incline Pillow for Leg Elevation, Snoring, Circulation, Pregnancy, Sciatica, Leg Rest or Foot Elevation, Blue, 24 x 20 x 6

I have a lot of pain in my legs from having severe issues with my spine, back surgeries and nerves. I also have adhesive arachnoiditis which causes me to have intense muscle spasms. I'm also pretty much bedridden bcuz mobility makes things worse. I worry about blood clots so I decided to purchase this wedge to get my legs up above my heart. It also just makes my legs feel better after propping them up. I do want to say this thing is quite hard so I have to put a thin bed pillow long ways that goes up the side and on top of the wedge. It gets painful and my legs and feet go to sleep if I don't use the pillow but I'm ok with using it. Keep in mind that it might not be comfortable if you use a big bulky bed pillow. I've also had total hip replacement on my right side and am waiting to have the left done but I can get both legs up on the wedge easily and be comfortable. For myself the most comfortable position is to turn the wedge with the slope part away from me. It's easier on the knee's that way as well. It's way to hard to use under your upper body. I tried with 3 pillows on top and it was still to hard. For raising the legs up this is excellent and you cannot beat the price. And love that the cover can be removed and washed. Cover is well made and the foam is of good quality. There was absolutely no smell upon opening. I was able to use immediately.

If you have back problems this is the leg rest for you. I have been diagnosed with a bulging disc and bone spur in my lower spine which is touching a nerve. I have been struggling to get a good nights sleep. I have tingling , burning and some numbness in my legs. Have done all of my homework (chiropracter, physical therapy, massage therapy, stretching, strengthening, ice, heat, etc....and lots of Advil. I ordered several leg supports before finding this one (it closely resembles the one they use when you get an MRI). I have spent a fortune on "props"...some very expensive. Believe me this one works! I was hesitant because it is not terribly expensive. But honestly, the last three nights have been phenominal for me...no tingling, no cramps, no jumping out of bed to stretch and walk it off. I have slept through the night and wake up feeling better than I have in months. It is high and very firm which obviously puts my spine in just the right place to take the pressure off the nerve. This might not be the best thing if you are using it as a leg rest, but if you need something for your back, THIS IS IT!

I'm 5'10 and got the 10 inch model. I have tried a few things to help with my sciatica pain (i.e. seat pillows, compression garments, stretches). Not sure if there is a cure for sciatica aside from physical therapy, but i can't engage in that at the moment due to the pandemic (trying to keep distance from everyone and everything). I experience slight pain running up and down my right thigh throughout the day. It is a hard feeling to describe, but its just a feeling that my thigh is not operating as normal. It is lite, but there are moments where it is sharper than usual. I mostly feel it when sleeping and trying to turn from one side of the mattress to the other. Due to the pain, i end up rotating myself to the other side of the bed very slowly. I got this after reading a review that pillow wedges help with sciatica pain. This pillow is to really help me with my posture, to sleep straight in my bed versus sleeping on my side and to help with blood circulation. I feel like i hunch over to help avoid pain to my thigh. As noted, i feel slight pain as if my ham string was ripped, pulled apart, or in the process of being ripped and pulled apart in opposite directions. I got this and i am very pleased with it. It is sturdy and well made. The polyester fabric feels nice against the leg. Nice and cool feeling. I can rub my hands on this material all day. It does help provide slight relief when i wake up in the morning. It is NOT a cure to get rid of sciatica pain. I just wish there was a cure for sciatica because i cannot imagine using this for the rest of my life. Regardless, it helps slightly so that is always a plus.

A bit higher than I was expecting but comfy for a rest. Feet get cold in winter so a bit inconvenient to put blanket over

Extremely helpful to help your lower back and advise able for quality of life

I ordered the DMI ortho bed wedge before having foot and ankle surgery. I knew that I’d need to keep my foot propped up (toes to nose), and figured that a wedge pillow would be easier to manage than a pile of bed pillows. The pillow is covered with a removable zippered woven cover, that I assume is machine washable. The actual pillow is one piece of foam. I was surprised at how firm it was. I am currently five days post op, and using the wedge pillow during my waking hours. I have a splint on my foot and leg, covered with a thick layer of gauze, and covered with wide ace bandage. There are incisions in the top of my foot and on the outside of my ankle. I’ve found the wedge pillow to be helpful, but it’s too hard to use alone. I’ve found that I’m the most comfortable when I use a standard sized pillow lengthwise over the top of the wedge pillow. The need the extra cushioning because the hard foam of the wedge pillow causes the splint to press into my incisions. If I didn’t have the wedge, I’d have to use four or five bed pillows to get my foot propped up this high, so I’m happy with this purchase. If I were to improve the functionality of the wedge pillow, I’d replace the woven fabric of the cover with something thick and soft, like minky fabric (used for baby blankets) and add straps on each side to make it easier to carry as well as pull into place. I’d also add a 3”-4”layer of convoluted memory foam to the top side of the foam pillow to help cradle a wounded limb in comfort. If there were soft padding on this pillow, I wouldn’t need to use an extra bed pillow.

so comfortable love it

Ligero, fuerte, práctico para reposar las piernas.

Muy satisfecha, buen tamaño, la funda se puede sacar y lavar, bien soporte para las piernas, excelente para para el descanso de personas con problemas de dolor de espalda.

I purchased this leg wedge for my Mum who has varicose ulcers and is advised to keep the legs in a raised position constantly. I tried to match the leg wedge which she was given to use during her hospitalisation and despite a great variety of similar products on the market, this product was the closest match. It is an excellent product - the dimensions permit use for both legs, the foam it is made of is firm to hold the legs in an elevated position, but soft enough not to cause discomfort. The design is identical to that of the wedge recommended by my Mum's doctors. The zip cover makes it incredibly practical to maintain a good level of hygiene. Given my Mum's condition the wedge will become a permanent fixture on her bed and only time will tell how durable it is.

I have swelling in my legs and feet, my doctor said I need to keep my legs elevated as much as possible. I found various options available but reviewing the reviews and product information decided on this one. I love it so my legs get elevated as my doctor ordered. It is comfortable to use. For me it is the right height but some may find it too high. Product arrived on time. Not long of a wait.
