Knee Pillow

Works great. Softens up after it warms up. Positions the legs well. I'd recommend this. Not too big, not too small.

Just right...

I have spondylolisthesis and degenerative osteoarthritis in my spine, as well as severe OA in most all of my joints. Lately, I've had severe pain in my right hip, that prevented me from sleeping at night, even after cortisone injections. I simply could not find a pain-free position until I tried a pillow between my knees. Using a bulky throw pillow simply didn't cut it, though. I had used one of these leg support pillows years ago, and decided to buy this particular pillow after researching, and reading lots of reviews.

I have had it about a week now, and it has been a blessing. It is just the right size, and stays in place all night. I fall asleep with no pain, becasuse my hip and knee are more properly aligned, relieving the stress on the joints. I could not have gotten a better product for the price, either.

Anyone suffering with this type of pain would welcome having this great little pillow.

Just what I needed.

This pillow was exactly what I was looking for. It worked wonderfully and took all discomfort out of my troubled right hip.

A one word description: EXCELLENT. Thanks, Lois

Everyone should use one of the leg spacers. It is so soft & comfortable & it has lessened my leg, back ache. My mother is almost 92 & I gave her one for a gift. She had never used one before but is very impressed with hers & can't be without it.

I feel better now!

I have had hip pain on my right side for a couple of years. (Essentially an old back injury causing the muscles to tighten right around the hip joint) It's caused me problems with everything...sleeping, walking, standing, sitting, you name the activity, it hurt and often made me miserable. I found putting a pillow between my knees helped decrease the pain, but it wasn't enough and was tough to keep in place when turning in my sleep. So, I decided to try this knee pillow and after using it for the past month I feel so much better! The muscles have relaxed and the pain is nearly all gone. I noticed a good difference within a couple of weeks. After a month, I'm feeling well enough to be more active again. I really does a great job keeping the spine and hips better aligned while you sleep. The hourglass shape also makes it pretty natural for your legs to grab as you turn from side to side. I've only kicked it out of bed twice so far. The regular old pillow was kicked out far more often. I could wish for it to stay a little stiffer through the night. Your body heat softens it quite a bit, but it still does the job. It may not work for everyone, but it's been great for me and I would highly recommend giving it a try!

Waste of Money!!

One of the worst purchases I've ever made. It won't stay in place, and the cover on mine ripped the first night. I trashed it!

Too big, too heavy.

I'm a tiny woman and this leg pillow is too thick and very heavy.
I actually hurt my back by using it only one night.
This is for the giants.

Too big.

Too big for me. At first I thought I'll get used but days passed and couldn't feel comfortable using it. A thin pillow works better. I am very small and light, so maybe a larger, havier person would like it as the weight would make it thinner.

just who is it sized for?

Bought the Homedics several weeks ago, used it for six nights and my lower back pain was worse each morning, felt like putting a full size saddle between your legs, much too thick for any degree of comfort. I think a person would have to be well over six foot tall to be able to use this to alleviate lower back pain. Unfortunately I am five foot eight inches and it made matters worse.

okay, not great

This pillow is a lot larger and harder than the knee pillow I am used to. It is well-made, but not very comfortable.
