Has anyone used this to keep their legs elavated at night? If so what were the results. I am a side sleeper.

I too, am a side sleeper who needs to keep my legs elevated. I could not use the wedge made for leg elevation becasue I tended to roll off it or kick it out of the way during sleep. This wedge is the perfect solution. By placing it under the mattress, I can comfortably sleep on my side or any other position.

A wedge pillow is to keep your head elevated. The funky looking wedge-like pillow with a flat top is for elevating your legs. Your thigh area rests against the wedge part (your butt is on the bed, but at the start of the wedge area. Go to Hermell leg Rests on Amazon to see a leg rest and the way to use one), and then your calf area rests on the flat upper part.

Hi! Yes, I have worn it many many many nights while sleeping. In fact, I just spend 3 months wearing it all the time, except when bathing. It made a major difference, was not uncomfortable at all. In fact, just this minute returned from the doctor and he has given me the complete "green light", meaning my damaged ligament is 100% healed now and I no longer have to wear the brace at all. THIS IS what did the trick and allowed the ligament to heal completely. Go for it!

Hello, I am taking these at bedtime for leg pain due to nerve damage as recommended by my doctor. I still get cramping in my feet on days that I have walked or hiked for a long time but most nights I don't have a problem. It might be worth a try. Good luck

@ Feurkatz. please do not bother with this. I too wanted to eliminate sag but this is NOT, by any means, in any way, the answer! It does NOT work....not immediately, not ever also. If you want something temporary maybe look for caffeine containing creams, or what is called "lifting" creams, which aren't that great either but certainly a whole lot better than this. Then, put the cream on with a wrap purchased from a local drugstore that is used for ankles -- the material is actually better than the Lus one for skin anyway. But honestly, it's silly of anyone to think this mask would work, and I can tell you for sure it did not on me or anyone!

I've never used it while sleeping so I'm not sure about that. It's comfortable enough that you can use it on a daily basis. I can imagine you can work out with it even though I've never done that. Sorry I can't be more helpful.

I'm a side sleeper as well and have been quite comfortable. With a really good padded mattress cover I think you'll enjoy a good nights' rest on your side, back or stomach.

I do lay on my side on the pillow However, that sort of defeats all the purposes and I try not to. It was difficult at first but now I usually stay on my back all night long and I am sleeping much more soundly than I was before I got the pillow. I love it.

Try as I might I could not get it to stay in the "all the way back" reclined position. So it doesn't work for me. However, just the reclined position is good for me. If it went all the way back and stayed that way, I'd fall asleep in it!

Yes, I think it is okay for side sleeping. However, an elbow or hip or something might contact through the pad to the ground depending on your overall weight and weight distribution. I weigh over 200 lbs, but find I can sleep on my side okay.

I never wore it at night. I really don't think that would be necessary since you're not using those muscles while laying down.

I am a side sleeper and have gone to using mats or air mattresses for the same reason. I think these mats are great! The first night I was disappointed, but that was because the mats were new and we took them out of the package and used them right away. The next night after they had time to warm up and expand fully, I didn't notice the ground at all. Of course even in a real bed I have to roll over during the night, so same applies with these.

I'm a side sleeper. Very comfortable! I can't speak to trying it on your stomach. I have never done that.

You can sleep on it. I never have though. When sitting or laying back on a chair I use it on my back and legs, hips.I wrap it around my leg and hip as much as I can. I have not felt this good in a long time. I also using a vibrating massage belt.

My mother falls out of bed because she hangs her leg off the bed in her sleep which causes her to slide out. We positioned it by her knee which keeps her legs from being able to hang over the side. Works so far. Her husband gets much more sleep now that he doesn't have to walk around and push her legs back on the bed.

That is what I used this pillow for most of the time. I liked having the flat side against my lower leg and the round side against my top leg. The pillow stayed in place. I rested the pillow lengthwise from my knee to my ankle which gave my whole leg support. I had tried the "knee" pillow that had a Velcro strap but it did not work for me at all! The strap did NOT hold it in place when I rolled over, it was harder then I liked and it hurt my hip (I had hip replacement) as it tilted my leg down as I rested my ankle on my lower leg.Hope this helps you in making your decision.
