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.

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.

This wedge is great for relieving back and leg strain! My only complaint is that I found the cotton cover somewhat scratchy. I would love to be able to purchase additional covers (in a choice of colors) of a softer fabric, such as French terry or cotton knit.

This is my second wedge purchase. I bought this for my father who needed to keep his legs elevated for pain relief. I like the fact that it comes with a cover that is washable. I would reccomend getting the smaller wedge for a woman as this one is rather large. I researched medical supply companies and the web and Amazon had the best price.

I wish I had bought this pillow a year ago. I have problems with leg pain and swelling. Before I got this pillow I used two bed pillows stacked. They would end up in different places. With this pillow it is easy to keep it where you want it. The firmness is great. There is an amazing difference between this pillow and regular bed pillows.

After total knee replacement, this wedge sure helped to keep my knee in one place and elevated, while preventing me from moving too much while I slept or was resting.

Highly recommended.

this leg support is quite large ..large enough for my 250lb husband who uses this support to relieve the pain in his right hip ...its a freat fit under the legs and is firm enough to hold up

This pillow wedge is the correct firmness that supports my entire leg through the night to help with circulation. I broke my leg (tibia and fibula) over two years ago requiring surgery with the insertion of plates and screws. This wedge elevates my leg as recommended by physical therapists and reduces lower leg swelling and pressure. The zippered pillow cover is a definite plus.

Purchased for my 90 yr old father who needed to have his feet elevated above his heart to reduce swelling in his legs. He has been very successful in getting more feeling in his feet and legs as well as reducing the swelling by using the bed wedge.
