FootSmart Leg Wedge, Each

I had a disc bulge in the L5/S1 area of my lower back and it cause tremendous sciatic pain. Eventually, I had to have surgery to remove the bulge but it's left me with a weak disc and sore lower back muscles. When my muscles start feeling strained, especially after a long day, lying on my back with the wedge pillow keeping my knees and legs elevated above my hips is one of the only things that gives me really good relief. After seeing numerous docs, from neurologists to orthopedic surgeons, I know that the best position for sleeping is the one provided perfectly by the wedge pillow. The materials are super sturdy and firm while still being extremely soft and comfortable. I would absolutely recommend this method of sleeping to anyone who suffers with low back pain.

The leg rest really helps with taking down swelling more quickly than occurs without it. First class product.

This item was purchased at the recommendation of my 88 year-old grandfather's physician to try and address very serious circulation problems, as well as impending pressure sores on his heels. Anyone who has tried to work with circulation issues and pressure sores knows how difficult both of these problems can be, particularly in the elderly. My grandfather was experiencing shooting pains in his lower legs and feet as a result of poor circulation, and nothing we did was helping. We purchased the leg wedge with the hope that it would provide some relief, and also keep him from crossing his ankles in bed. We also hoped that it would keep the pressure sores from getting worse. The wedge did so much more than we had hoped, from the first day we used it. Not only did it completely alleviate the friction and pressure on my grandfather's heels, by slightly elevating them and keeping him from crossing his ankles in his sleep, but it provided exactly the right support to his legs to eradicate the pain and discomfort he'd been experiencing for so long. I really couldn't believe it! I only wish we had purchased this product sooner. It did take a little getting used to, as my grandfather was a bit confused about using the wedge, but he soon became accustomed to it and is now very comfortable with it. I would VERY highly recommend this product to anyone with circulation problems and/or pressure sores. Sometimes these can seem like insurmountable difficulties -- this product has provided relief that I really did not think was possible. I am so grateful!

I found the leg wedge to be very comfortable. I felt that my legs were more rested. I used the Leg Wedge to help eliminate a collection of water that I had in my legs after having a major surgery. The Wedge was effective in accomplishing this.
