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

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.)

I have advanced osteoarthritis & loss of knee cartilage for which I've been sleeping with a small pillow between my knees for several years. The pressure of my knees on each other if I sleep on my side is very painful when I wake up.. I saw this product & figured it's a worth a try. Very convenient & effective. One knee pad is sufficient for that purpose. I just position the pad a little to the inside. The padding is thick enough making it unnecessary to have one for each knee. Pillows slide out where this does not. Great for traveling as it takes up much less room in a suitcase. If you didn't bring a small pillow along, the ones at hotels are cumbersome to try to place between the knees. This has enough padding to alleviate that pressure on the knees. Stays in place & doesn't slide out during the night. It is also small & convenient enough to travel with.

I have trouble with knee pain and this has helped with that issue. Comfortable to sleep in and and really supportive.

Had knee replacement. Fabric rough. Knee sensitive

It didn’t help with knee pain as it said.

Been using to sleep for several years now. You forget your wearing it. With bending progressively becoming more difficult, at some point it will become to difficult to put on. A version using velcro would solve that future problem. All existing knee pads with velcro are too bulky and firm for sleeping - made for kneeling.

I have a lot of arthritic knee pain that wakes me multiple times during sleep. I've tried a regular pillow between my knees and two different pre-shaped knee pillows. The pre-shaped pillow are too bulky and tend to hurt my hips. The regular pillow has to be repositioned with turning, so it results in waking from a sound sleep to turn. This is the first item that I've found that provides pretty good comfort. I hate elastic and I have to say, they put minimal elastic to be bothersome. Additionally, the cushion stays in place. Overall, I've had improved sleep and much less knee pain in the mornings. I think finding the right knee pillow is a personal choice. I'm sure the curved out knee pillow work for some, but not for me. This cushion is very easy to use and really works! I am unable to comment about the longevity, but it looks like an easy to wash item. It feels like cotton and the cushion is soft but firm and sewn into place. I recommend sizing per the directions listed. I initially thought about buying the largest size but measured myself and ordered the large and it fit perfectly.

This device does adequately pad knees and improve alignment, however, it is too constricting. I am 6 feet tall, 155 pound male with slender legs and purchased the medium, following the chart's recommendation. It felt snug the first couple of nights but nothing too uncomfortable and did not cut off blood supply. After a few nights I noted some minor puffiness in my foot. By day 10 the swelling was more pronounced and was accompanied by numbness in the foot. After stopping wearing the pad the swelling has gone away. Although this pad does not cut off arterial blood supply to the foot, nor does it stop venous blood return from the foot, it does cut off normal lymph fluid drainage from the foot. I do not have any vascular health problems or any medical problems for that matter. Anyone with circulation problems of any kind should avoid this type of product that acts like a tourniquet and is potentially cable of causing real problems.

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

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.

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

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.
