Leg Elevator

I can't say enough good things about this FootSmart Leg Elevator Pillow. I don't use it the way it is pictured. My heel stops at the first slope where in the picture the calf is placed. If you have Neuropathy the heel will need to be freely placed and this slope provides that. No one wants to be so confined with a pillow right up to the top of their thigh to sleep comfortably which is why I use it this way and it is absolutely perfect. A little bit of the pillow does hang off the bed, but if you have long legs you will then be able to use the entire pillow. So if your legs are long or short the pillow will work for you. Then for added comfort, I take a soft thinner pillow just under my legs as a transition between the bed and the FootSmart Leg Elevator Pillow to eliminate any stress points for the legs. This item keeps it's shape, is good quality, comes with a zippered pillow covering, and is just the right texture to help your legs and feet feel better than they have for a very long time. Do not hesitate to make this purchase you will not regret it. Just one more thing, if you do have Neuropathy you may realize that your feet are sensitive to fabric texture. The covering on this pillow provides a layer of special covering for added comfort. You can also add a warm fuzzy type blanket or even a plush beach towel to provide that added effect if you wanted to save wear and tear to the pillow covering that comes with the FootSmart Leg Elevator Pillow. If mine ever wears out I will most definitely be buying another one.

The leg elevator arrived in a timely matter and was well constructed. Please note though; that it seemed too short for me and my legs where not supported correctly. I am about 5'6", so it must be better suited to people taller than that.

I found this product and was more excited because it had the legs on a slop completely versus the slop and then flat top surface. My feet hurt so bad and I need to have this slope. This ALMOST worked for me. I don't know if it was my height, or other lengths, but the part for your calfs - my calfs did NOT rest on the pillow - there was space between that pillow and my leg. This was not very comfortable. I did try it for a night and it just didn't feel quite good for me. I am trying out other products and hope to find one that works for me, soon. This may be perfect for others, so give it a go. Amazon is great with returns :)

Finally, something that helps me to elevate my legs comfortably! This is a great product I would recommend to anyone who needs to elevate their legs due to poor circulation, edema, etc. It is so much nicer than trying to arrange pillows under your legs that get smushed, move around, and are just impossible to arrange correctly and have stay there. I really like the fact that you can remove the internal wedge to lower the lift a bit if it is too high for you. I have congestive heart failure which causes edema in my legs and feet and I am thrilled with this product and would definitely recommend it to anyone who needs leg elevation. It is definitely worth the price.

Too big. Contacted FootSmart to exchange for the smaller size. Disappointed to find out they were out of stock and not certain if they would have more. The large leg elevator was made well and it would have helped my leg issues if they could have exchanged for the smaller size. Their Custormer Rep was very professional and offered to exchange for the smaller size. After a week I logged on to both Amazon & FootSmart only to see "no longer available".

Using the wedge for head didn't work well with leg elevator. My feet stuck up in the air and wasn't comfortable with cover on to of toes. I cut the section from underneath the foot area and it allowed my feet to go down. Still a little to long to use with upper body wedge. I guess I should have gotten leg wedge for knees.

I went to the company website and they make two sizes (lengths) of this pillow. The one I got from Amazon is the one for people under 5'6" tall. If you are taller, you may want to go to the site and order the longer one.What's great about this pillow is the shape allows support of the back of you knees when you are elevating your legs. I tried a different type that is a straight angle and the lack of knee support made it very uncomfortable. I comfortably sleep all night with my legs elevated (I'm a back sleeper).

Finally found a leg elevator that contours to your legs. It is soft memory-foam like material instead of a hard wedge. The gradual elevation make me look forward to putting up my legs at night in bed. It sits perfectly right below your bottom, lifts your knees into a comfortable position and elevates your feet. It is heavy, which is wonderful for someone who moves around a lot at night. It stays right in place. Very happy with this product.
