Putting my one knee and calf on the pad causes some discomfort. Is there a cushioned pillow I can purchase that will slip over the knee pad?

I had that same problem. Find a long, narrow pillow and use Velcro to attach it to the pad. I found the self-stick Velcro, so just wrapped it around the pillow and the pad. It worked. But you can tie a ribbon around it or string to keep it on the seat. I loved my knee walker - saved me from being trapped at home and gave me mobility so that I could go shopping and just sit on the chair when I was tired. My granddaughter used to sit on the front of the seat and hang on to the bars to take a ride too. Good luck!

We had a similar problem. I don't know about a cushioned pillow. My husband put his knee on the last 1/3 of the pad so that his wound (between his knee and ankle) did not touch the pad of the scooter. You could try that or put a folded towel of it to act as a cushion.

Has not been a problem for our use. I suppose you could get a piece of piece of foam padding about 1 1/2 to two inches thick and tape it to the knee pad. Too much padding may cause problems with steering, control of the scooter

I've not tried it, but it looks like "Essential Medical Supply Knee Walker Pad Cover" from Amazon should work just fine. It may not be an adequate solution, though, if you have anything seriously wrong with the knee.

I a planning to have a local sheepskin store make a cover for me, for cushioning and because I don't want to sweat in the summer. They said it would be $50. I could put foam beneath this if necessary. There is a knee bursa and also the infrapatellar nerve that could be at risk if it hurts. There are also soft gardening knee pads that might help.

I think they do make a pad that slips over the knee area, but if you or someone you know are a little crafty, you could get some seat cusion batting in the craft dept. at Wmrt and make one. Or you could tie a thick towel onto the knee area and try that, it won't look the prettiest but might relieve some of the discomfort. My knee bothered me at first, but now not so much. If you are on it for an extended time, it will get a little uncomfortable. Hope this helps.

Yes, there is a knee pad cover that sells, also at Amazon, for around $17.90.

I'm using a narrow pad that was originally intended to be used while kneeling during gardening. Works perfectly!

That blue pad is cushion but like others say tension is all on how tight you use the straps which are quite adjustable. Personally for my feet I find the boot a bit uncomfortable and tend to leave the straps loose but still getting some tendon relief. Still I often choose not to wear due to uncomfortabla on my calf.

Wouldn't advise it. The foot rest is a metal plate. No padding. Typically one is leg pressing heavy weights and I certainly prefer footwear.

No. The cushion is very firm and will not compress enough to make this position comfortable.

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.

I never got mine over the knee, but you might could if you order it larger. I did not feel secure in the shower with this product.

No,sorry. I add a cushion on top of the kneeling section. That works OK for me. You will need additional padding but cannot get it inside the existing cushion.

I use the InteVision Four Position support Pillow under my knee to keep me from sliding. So far it works much better than without it.

Pillows slip and slide and they sink with the weight of your leg or legs. With this your legs stay at the elevated angle you need with very minimal sinking. I have used both and I prefer this and so did my husband after his knee surgery.

Yes and no. The one I purchased goes up to my hip. When I got them put on they were too long for my legs, but I was able to get the massage feel that you get in the hospital.my problem is I can not put the on by myself. They slide and twist while you are trying to zip them up. I suggest the short ones, knee length..,they are awesome!

Also Phil, I use a prescripted pain cream and that helps mine stay right in place. So if you are not using anything like that, maybe you can try lotion on your leg first, rub it in, your leg will have the moisture on it from the lotion, then pull your sleeve on. Hope that helps with the slippage! :-)Geneva

No, it doesn't. But when I'm using it on my lap, I sit with one leg across the other knee and lay it on my calf.

I would suggest giving it a try. Your feet are supposed to hang off the edge, but if you push it under your behind, you'll have more extension. I think it's ok if your feet lay on top of the cushion; often find myself in that position when I wake.

The first few weeks that I owned the chair, I used a soft pillow; however, after using the chair for awhile, I found that I did not need extra padding - possibly because I learned to sit up straight and not put so much weight on my knees!

I wouldn't recommend it because it's textured so it feels rough on skin. But perhaps worse, it's too thin at only 3/8" to provide cushioning for an area as sensitive as the knees. It would be especially stressful if you bow and move during prayer as some Muslims and Buddhist do. I'd recommend something 3/4-1" thick and very firm, like a child's play mat. They are made to cushion falls. You might even consider using a chair pad or sleeping pillow, whether memory foam, regular foam or feather.

I don't use it for elevating my legs but after knee surgery I was instructed to elevate my legs. Pillows had to be put under the calf and the ankle and foot couldn't be on the pillow. I sleep on my side and don't see how a wedge pillow would work for you. I would think it would be difficult to even use regular pillows if you're a side sleeper.

Recommendation from a friend with a similar knee problem. The one I chose has been great. The only complaint I have is that periodically the cushion on the back of my knee moves and then the strap rubs the skin.
