Memory Foam Pillow for Back Pain Relief, Sciatica, Orthopedic Leg Pillow with Thigh Pad

I can't believe someone finally got it right. I have used knee pillows on and off for years because I have chronic lower back pain. I am 40 years old and like to be active but sometimes back pain makes it very difficult to do so. Sleeping with a knee pillow helps me be active because it reduces my pain. I have had so many over the years and they all suck! They go flat and limp almost immediately and they are covered with some cheap scratchy fabric, don't stay in place, stink like chemicals etc... All of them, really all of them, some are better then others but they all fail sooner than later. THAT IS WHY I LOVE THIS PILLOW. Really, I am not one to gush about a stupid pillow but this one is GREAT! I am just so happy with this purchase that I had to write. This is why: Pillow is firm and does not let my knees or ankles touch and I the foam is way more resilient than any other pillow I have owned (I don't think it is going to break down), it is designed perfect, it is so comfortable that I don't even think about it being on at night, elastic strap that keeps pillow in place, even when I roll to my other side (very cool), soft but firm, great durable cover, and last but not least, it doesn't smell. I bought another one at the same time on Amazon and it just stinks like toxic foam. Anyhow, best pillow I have ever owned and makes it enjoyable to sleep with, thanks guys for making a high quality product ( I would have paid 3x for it now that I know)

I've been using this pillow for about 9 months now - originally to help reduce stress on a knee injury I suffered last year, and then found myself continuing to use it when I noticed it helping with a long-time back injury. During the period where my knee was recovering the pillow helped a LOT to reduce sideways pressure on the joint, which had been a primary source of discomfort while trying to sleep. (I'd tried a few of the shorter knee-only pillows before I got this one, but since i'm a side sleeper the short pillows actually increased the sideways pressure on the knee joint and made it hurt more. Having support along the entire lower leg like this pillow provided was much better for my injury and sleep habits.) As the knee healed and stopped being a nuisance at night, I was pleasantly surprised to find that it also reduced pain from an old back injury. It wasn't a miracle cure that made the back pain vanish or anything, but it made a noticeable difference in how many times I was waking up during the night to shift positions.

I got this delivered yesterday, last night was my first night using it & I must say it was worth every penny. I have an as of yet undiagnosed hip problem that's been going on for over a year now (& I'm not that old, just turned 43). I could even lay down for a few minutes on my side & would be in excruciating pain when I'd go to move. Any external rotation of my hip has been unbearable. It normally takes me a few minutes to turn over, then another few to get out of bed. A couple days ago it was so bad I was literally in tears. Today was the first time, in a very long time that I was pretty much able to bounce out of bed. Normally it'd take me a few minutes to get to walking w/less of a limp & I was able to walk my dogs with no problems this morning. I'm not sure if I was limping or not, as it happens all the time, so I really didn't notice. I don't normally leave gushing reviews, and certainly not right away, but this pillow helped so much, it was amazing. And I've tried many different kinds. I debated whether or not to get the memory foam one & decided to save myself $20, especially since I wasn't sure if it's really help or not. I'll have to update again on a few days to see how it's still working. Right now, I'm just happy I was able to get out of bed without excruciating pain.

I'm happy to say I have finally found the perfect one. I love this. I've had 2 replacement in my right knee & have had 3 spinal surgeries that all affect my right side. I can now sleep better with my legs being level & my knees not rubbing. It is also great if I'm on my back it gives my leg just enough elevation. I do have swelling issues also. Very soft & comfortable. I will add another piece of elastic one is not enough to hold it.

This pillow is fantastic! I need a pillow between my knees to sleep because I had back surgery years ago and If I don't use one my legs will go numb and this pillow is my life saver!
