5.0 out of 5 stars Great Bed Wedge, July 1, 2008

This bed wedge is very well made and very supportive yet not at all rock-like. The cover is functional and form-fitting. It was light enough to tote to another state in the car and into a hotel for use after my surgery. I store it in a 33 gallon type garbage bag to keep it clean along with my other bed wedge (another type used to elevate the head and back). My only advice is to pile some things up and try the height before you order. Some of these wedges are lower and some are higher. Make sure to get one that is comfortable for your needs.

this was the best priced leg wedge that I could find and it has been a great buy. The foam is firm and supports your legs well and it is wide enough that your legs aren't right beside each other. Great product.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not as comfortable as it seems... for long periods of time, April 7, 2009

RECOMMENDATION: Buy the memory foam version of this.

I'm only saying this because I had pre-conceived notion how this wedge would work. I expect it to create a zero-gravity feel that would take a lot of the stress off of my back, in conjunction with my Tempurpedic bed. However, after about an hour my inclination is to kick it off. The best strategy in using this unit is to use it prior to going to sleep then you normally kick it off during the first hour or two of sleeping.

When using with the memory foam "comfort pillows" to prop up your back, it works better, however I have a feeling you'll feel better with the tempurpedic/memory foam version better. The foam basically does not conform to your lower body as it is too "blocky".

Spend the extra for the conforming version.
