Sports Medica Memory Foam Knee Pillow Side Sleepers, Ergonomic Leg Cushion

A fantastic product , well made and extremely confortable ,used extensively and sold in my sports injury clinic , perfect pre post knee / hip replacements. Woukd definetely recommend

Was a little skeptical, but I can’t argue that my back has felt better after a nights sleep since I have used this leg “pillow”. Also surprised it didn’t annoy me getting to sleep, with the comfortable position being near the knee. Although very clumsy to walk with!

Top 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 This little pillow/cushion is brilliant and very easy to sleep with. It’s not too big nor too small, just the right amount of support and it doesn’t wake me up as I turn in the night. ( I strap it on the leg & it stays in situ as I change position). The cover on it is super soft & it dries very quickly due to the kind of fabric the cover is made off.

(Tried to show strap length in the photos, without depressing the cushion.) Needed a knee cushion, to help my hip and back posture while asleep, and was glad I came across this style. Had previously tried a little heart shaped one, but couldn't get that in the right place, even while awake, so here we are with this instead. It does the job much better. Soft fabric. Easy to get into position, and has a strap, so it stays in place through the night. Genius! Versatile cushion, as I'm currently using it as a pillow while I type this. It does give a bit, so is just firm enough for now, and might depend on the weight of the body part, you want to rest on it. Strap may not be long enough for every thigh out there, but is adjustable to a certain extent (photos). Haven't caught myself on the zip yet, but I'm very surprised that it isn't covered in some way. Booklet is no longer included, and is now a card with a QR code, which takes you to the product's website and a PDF. But it's good enough for me right now (4.5 stars really, due to zip and firmness), so I've bought a 2nd one (got a blue and a grey). Wanted one squished in its original packaging, to take on holiday. Was on offer too, so was a very good deal, and saved my sanity.

Firstly , I ordered the XL option, and its tiny. Secindly the foam is only firm on the edges, in the middle, which is 3 inches when you don't use it but about a few microns thick( very thin) when in use. If you have to skimp on material, surely the ends that sit outside of your knees would be the place, not the bit that is sipposed to support them. I have ended up wrapping the centre bit in a towel, putting all of that in a pillow case and then it has enough support. It's a shame, its a nice idea. It reminds me of those neck support pillows you get in a spa, the tiny ones. The outside material seems ok. And the vecro strap ( if you want to strap it to one leg, i assume so it doesn't disappear in the bed because that one strap doesn't actually hold it in place throughout the night) is a good thickness. It's not terrible from a construction point of view- stitching lioks good and mazerial cover isnt paper thin, it's just not going to support my knees / thighs and I personally feel it wont offer much support to most people, if you are a child or under 7 stone then maybe, but for me, at 8st5lb it compressed far too easily and as it is, leaves my knees , and therefore my hips, out of alignment to a point where I may as well not have it. I had hoped, if it was good ,to get one for my sister who is more voluptuous at 11st, but there is no way I am giving this to her when it crumples under my weight, I will keep searching.

My GP diagnosed my knee pain as knee arthritis. This conflicts with the physiotherapist diagnosis of physical stress, overuse, injury, and possibly some arthritic elements. At any rate, though the treatment is different, pain and discomfort and soreness are still the same symptoms. Anyway, this is what works and does not work for me in using the pillow. Bear in mind it's my left knee that's the problem (and not the right side). Hence you need to adjust the opposite way if your problem is on the right knee. But, at the start, perhaps it's useful to know that it doesn't really matter whether the strap is fitting for the size of your knee. In reality you don't need to strap up as your do move the pillow to adjust your position on sleeping. No one really sleeps all night in one position (although there may be a primary position). Anyway: 1. Lying on back. It helps with the knee pillow under the affected knee. It adds a degree of comfort, but not always. Anyway, the helpfulness is shown up by being on holiday without the knee pillow and using an ordinary cushion. I missed the knee pillow! 2. Lying on my left side. Having the knee pillow between the two knees helps to cushion the soreness to a certain extent. However, having the weight of the right leg and knee against the left side somewhat reduces the usefulness of the knee pillow. 3. Sleeping on the right side. This is where the knee pillow is most helpful. It softens the pressure on the affected left knee. 4. Users might find it helpful to experiment with the position of the pillow. That is to say, you can move the pillow on, above, or below the knee and see which position helps most. Also you can play around with the different positions of crossing the legs when you sleep on your side. Personally, I have found that the Sports Medica Knee pillow is the right shape and a good balance of firmness and softness. Hope that's a helpful feedback and that you might enjoy some relief from your discomfort. It's horrible when one tries to sleep with a sore knee. God bless. Dr Tan

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.

I am waiting for a hip replacement and am finding it extremely difficult to sleep due to the pain from my hip. I have tried sleeping with a normal pillow or cushion between my knees however due to the pain I am a very restless sleeper so the pillow/cushion doesn't stay in place. I was delighted to find this Medica Knee Pillow the fact that it straps around your leg is excellent the pillow stays in place throughout the night and has definitely helped stop all of my weight pressing down on my bad hip. For me it is definitely worth 5 stars.

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

جيدة ما بها شي لكن تراها صغيرة زي ماهو مكتوب فالتعليقات وزي تجربتي تقريبا الغالبية حسوا ان الحجم صغير وانا انصح انه الواحد ياخذ مخدة ميموري فوم او لاتكس من النوع اللين يكون حجمها اصغر بشوي من المخدات العادية بدل هذي

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