Are these good for doing squats with? How about using them to sleep in for recovery?? THanks!

For squatting they're certainly usable but they're not top of the line. If you really want to invest good money into saving your knees from years of squats, I would highly recommend going the extra mile with some Rehband knee sleeves or SBD knee sleeves. However, those sleeves are only for squatting and leg lifting weight exercises and might only be worth it if you squat frequently and with heavy weights. As for sleeping, you shouldn't be wearing these or any other sleeves when sleeping, I would suggest simply letting your knee air out during and relax during sleep but if you have a knee injury that really does hurt a wrap of some sort would most likely be better for compression. Hope this helps.

I do cardio type exercises and these are just fine. I also sleep with them on and find they do a great job at keeping my knees warm and compressed.

I don't have the experience to give you a positive answer however I don't see why not!

Squats? I have worn mine during squats and they stayed up just fine. Not sure how much compression you're looking for. These are comfortable enough to wear all day (or sleep in) without being tight enough to cause my calves to ache by evening. I really like mine; they do exactly what I need of them.

My son injured his knee in football to where he had a stretched PCL muscle which is in the back of the knee. He wears these for Basketball and weight lifting. My advice is to check with your doctor to see if you can do squats or it just depends upon the injury to your knee. My son doesn't use them to sleep in. I don't know if this answers your question but he seems to think it works perfectly.

you could use them for a home gym/cardio. They're pretty thick/soft. They look like something that would be in a kids room, so as long as you're ok with that.

Yes. I bought these for my husband to use while working out. He loves them!

I'm not sure, I use them to watch TV at night. I believe they're suppose to b/c that's what the TV projects & can keep you awake at night. They do help me feel sleepier earlier in the evening when I wear them before I go to bed & watch TV.

These work well for both bench and squats. I am only 5'2". If you are tall they might not come up high enough for squats. Check the maximum height. I would guess they give that dimension in the description.

yes, I would highly recomend them. You will be able to sleep on your side with them on.I use them only in the daytime around loud noise, it blocks out 75% of the volume.

Yes, they are great for side sleeping. They do, however, smell a bit like rubber at first. The smell dissipates after a few weeks.

I'm not sure what the benefit to that would be? The product packaging suggests "working up to wearing them for an hour at a time" -- I'm not a doctor, only a consumer, but I can't imagine where extended (i.e. multi-hour) wearing is going to get you any significant "greater benefit." I don't find them "that" comfortable, so sleeping in them doesn't sound enjoyable, but I'm sure it's possible...

Can you please tell me if is recommendable to use it for working out (Squats, Dead lift etc...)

Definitely would NOT use these for yoga.... as far as resistance training with machines, they are good to use on your heaviest sets. =]

First, I am not a person who works out, and I can only imagine you are referring to being in the gym, running etc.so that it quite a bit of movement. I do use these daily, in fact I often go to bed wearing them, listening to music, for sleep and relaxation programs. I turn often in my sleep and am forever moving my pillow. These pretty much stay in with this kind of close contact and are consistent over time. I would consider that also a function of how good the ear bud cushions fit your ear. Mine have worked out well. I still find the chord is great since it does not tangle into the usual nightmare ball that other ear bud do. That of course, may be a plus or minus for you, because I don't know where your chord will be during any potions of your workout. I do use these while in my workshop, while cooking etc. often by throwing the long length of chord over my head so it lays on my back and stays out of my way. Hope this helps.

I'm doing Insanity Max:30 on these right now and they're perfect. P90X would be good on them too. They're super heavy duty and don't move at all while doing plyo workouts unlike the foam mats.

They are very durable. I don't think they will wear out anytime soon. I wear them 3 days a week for any squat type exercise with the exception of cleans. They are very thick. Just becareful the only way I see them riping is from pulling them on if your fingernails dig in. Enjoy they are worth every penny!

I use them just like weights in the gym. They are awesome. I love them. Good luck.

They are a really tight and sturdy. I wouldn't have thought that sleeping with these would be comfortable, but after trying it I could see how it could work. They squeeze your head quite a bit, so you might have marks when you wake up.Sideways isn't going to be comfortable for a large headphone like this unless you have deep soft down-like pillows. If you sleep on your back or let your head tilt slightly you could cut out sound while listening to music. For sleeping on your side you are probably better off with ear plugs (no music) or ear bud headphones (no external sound filtering). They are a really tight and sturdy.

I use these for sleeping. I don't like the foam ones for environmental reasons / how frequently you have to dispose - I can wash these & reuse - the ridges seem a little softer too, which is nice - I can insert them to block almost all noise; but also adjust them so I can hear conversation but block or muffle a lot of the surrounding noise around me.
