Sports Medica Knee Pillow - Washable Cover Memory Foam Leg Pillow for Sleeping on Side - Doctor Developed eHandbook - Sleeping on Back - Hip Support and Alignment, Pain Relief - Side Sleeper cushion

I've been using this pillow for several weeks now and I really like it. The shape is perfect for resting between your thighs and putting a supportive buffer between your knee bones, and it's not too big. The width of it basically helps your thigh bones stay aligned straight with your hips. The pillow is firm enough to grip with your knees/thighs, but the plush blue outer cover material is super soft and comfortable to the touch. The strap is there if you feel you need to attach it to one leg, but I haven't found it necessary. It's easy to keep a light grip on it with your knees when you turn over.

I’ve had really bad knee pain and flair ups out of nowhere - the worst would make it almost impossible to walk. The worst was not being able to sleep at night due to the swelling, or causing more damage whilst unconscious. I hopped straight on for something to elevate and hold my knee in place. This was the cheapest well reviewed option in Amazon and I will say - I see why. Arrived really nicely presented in a plastic zip bag, smells like foam but really soft and well made. Whilst not easy to sleep with at first, the strap really helps keep it in the right place and kinda forced me to sleep properly with a bend in my knee. Works well for back sleepers and side sleepers - also used as a head rest when reading haha! Since using I have had a scan to find I Hoffas pad syndrome from hyper extension of my joints. Something I’m now getting physio, insoles and swim sessions for. This pillow is still really helping but my flair ups are rare which is great! Also 5 months in - no wear at all to the pillow, amazing. Not cheap cheap, but great for price.

Being a side sleeper helps with a better sleep position, has also helped ease a lot of back pain. Nice and firm. Nice and soft.

This pillow has been great for me following a running knee injury, I can sleep a lot better using it as it gives the right support for my hips and knees whilst my injury heels. Good quality pillow and comfortable

Comfortable but moves about. So far no change to pain levels. Have used it for 2 weeks.

This is a thick, soft pillow that provides good protection for sore and tender knees. I like the quality. The cover seams are overlocked so will will withstand machine washing when the time comes and the strap keeps it in place all night. It doesn't seem to flatten down after all night use. This is really helping me sleep during a nasty knee osteoarthritis flare up.

PACKAGING: Vacuumed packed in a clear plastic bag. PRODUCT: Memory foam knee pillow. FUNCTION: This came vacuumed packed but it did not take long for it to expand to its intended shape once opened. It appears well made. The memory foam is high density, meaning it is quite firm and the cover is plush. It comes equipped with a strap that is secured on one end via Velcro. I have very bad back pain, either sciatica or a herniated disc. I suspect this is aggravated by poor posture, particularly in bed as I tend to favor front sleeping, which I know is very bad. So I will literally try anything to alleviate the pain. However, I do not have the money to just throw at anything, so I purchased this having read some positive reviews (and with a degree of desperation). I found the leg strap (as it is) inadequate. The Velcro fastening is a little pointless. I just slip my leg in and out without unfastening the strap. Plus, the pillow does not stay in place during the night as the strap does not grip my leg sufficiently. I would have preferred to see an elasticated strap. I feel this would grip the leg better and accommodate different size legs. This also comes with a small business card that has a QR code which enables you to access the e-book. I did not find the literature very useful. The only useful information I obtained was that you should sleep on the effected side - so if you have pain running down your left side you should try and sleep on your left side, with your knees bent toward your head, and the pillow between the knees. This prevents a twisting through the lower back as your knee drops to the mattress. This made sense to me. On first use I experienced no discomfort in bed. I did find myself having to re-adjust the pillow throughout the night as it does not stay in place. I had a good nights sleep with no pain, plus it actually prevented me from rolling onto my front. However, for the first three days the pain got worse during the day. Not constant, but as soon as I bent over (even slightly) I would get a sharp, intense pain in my back that was so acute it made me cry out and my legs buckle. I considered whether the pillow was making my condition worse, or if my back was simply recovering from being abused for so long. Well, I am now on day four and the bouts of pain are less frequent although just as intense. So I do believe the pillow is helping me. Certainly I am sleeping much better. At the time of this review the memory foam knee pillow was £19.95. Yes this is a lot of money, but the pillow is well made and more importantly, it can aid with maintaining proper posture in bed. I would recommend.

Got this to help with my bad knee . Using it already and I have to say even just sat watching TV with it under my leg helps. Have to say after using it for a few weeks this definitely helps

Can wash the outside cover . I have used this every night for the last 2 years great product. It makes my back feel so much better

Jättebra och stannar kvar på benet hela natten. Skulle dock lätt kunna vara lite tjockare.

so uncomfortable to use that it's impossible to sleep so gave up using this

very nice knee pillow, soft yet supportive, has greatly helped comfort for side sleeping

Meine Frau hat schon länger Problem mit schmerzender Hüfte, ich mit Knien und Rücken. Auch stört mich, dass wenn ich auf der Seite liege, meine Fußknöchel oft ziemlich hart aufeinander liegen. Deshalb habe ich mal so ein Kissen aus dem großen und kaum überschaubaren Angebot ausgesucht. Ausschlaggebend für die Wahl dieses Kissens war nrben den Rezensionen die Form, der graue Bezug (verschmutzt nicht so leicht) und das Halteband, das sich im Gebrauch auch als sinnvoll erwiesen hat. Fer Preis war nich sooo wichtig, hier aber angenehm im Mittel. Meine Frau stand der Anschaffung skeptisch gegenüber (schon wieder was, was später nur rumliegt), gelobte aber, es wenigstens zu probieren. In der ersten Nacht warf sie es nach 2-3 Stunden aus dem Bett, hatte einen brennenden Schmerz in der Hüfte. Trotzdem versuchte sie es am nächsten Tag überraschend noch einmal, schlief durch und hatte am nächsten Morgen nicht mehr die üblichen Probleme, mit der Hüfte "in Gang zu kommen". Die Schmertfreiheit hält jetzt nach 1 Woche bis zum frühen Nachmittag, und sie will das Teil nicht mehr hergeben, merkt es nachts auch gar nicht mehr. Meinen "Versuch" mit dem Kissen hab ich jetzt heute Morgen nach ihrem Aufstehen gemacht und hab damit noch 2 Stunden gelegen. Es stört mich kaum, Knie und Knöchen werden dadurch entlastet und ich könnte mir vorstellen, dass es auf Dauer auch positiv für meine LWS sein kann. Das kann ich allerdings erst testen, wenn ich bald wohl ein eigenes habe ;-)) Da der Langzeittest bzgl. Verformen u. ä. noch aussteht und ja meine eigene Erfahrung noch wirklich fehlt, werde ich zu einem späteren Zeitpunkt die Rezension wohl noch bearbeiten. Ich hoffe nur positiv. PS: Eine deutsche Bedienungsanleitung bei der wohl Vielzahl an dt. Kunden wäre hilfreich, zumal wohl gerade viele ältere Menschen so ein Teil kaufen und nicht so der englischen Sprache mächtig sind. Auch wenn die Bilder eigentlich schon ausreichen. Für einen Punktabzug wäre das aber zu hart.
