How much padding is on the top? If you rest your legs on it for long periods of time, are there any pressure points on your calves?

The padding is like 3-4", not real soft but we have no problem resting our feet. We don't rest our legs on it, sorry I can answer you question regarding pressure points.

The padding is resilient. My husband rests his legs on the Ottoman all the time, but the padding always "resets" itself. No pressure points on the calves either.

I don't know the exact amount of padding on it and it is below my calves that are resting on it and no there is no pressure points.

Its padded but its a very firm top. Your legs arent going to sink into the top. If you want a softer top you should get an ultra suede ottoman that has padding. This is fake leather and very hard.

I don't know exactly how much padding there is but it feels very plush. It is very comfortable and I have not had a problem with pressure points. I am very pleased with this purchase.

I would sum up the answer by saying that this is the best armor to protect your shin and your knee that I found on the market at this time. The rubbing spots that I found when I first started using these pads has gone away. It appears that this armor has adjusted to my legs shape so that I do not get any more areas that rub or irritate my skin. I do find it helps to wear high socks so there's less of a chance of any rubbing at the lower strap area.

The pressure on the back-top of the heel and the top of the foot is there while hanging, but it is not persistent, nor does it cause any real discomfort. My boyfriend, who is tall, prefers to wear shoes while hanging. I don't normally wear shoes because of convenience. The pads provided on the table are a spongy foam and seem to have held up well after about 10 uses.

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.

I agree with Carrios and Lyn. I was a little worried about lack of padding, but did not actually find it a problem. I did wish there was a connecting strap across the upper chest sometimes. It still worked very well for two weeks' use in Europe .

I would suggest asking your doctor about the knee ligament issue. The ankles get locked in with a padded device at the bottom. There is not a lot of pressure on the ankles it just keeps you from sliding off of the table when you are inverted.

For me, it did a great job on the arches, and lower calves. very relaxing. Hope that helps.

Yes, there is a little bit of padding. Considering the padding and the width of the shoulder straps, even when the bag is fully loaded with all your stuff, you will still feel quite comfortable. I've had the bag for about a month now, I'm a high school teacher and I load that bag up! It is hands down, the best bag I've ever had! Buy it! :)

How big are your calves? I have large legs and the large size fit very well. I am 6'1 210lbs

It's not padded, but the fabric is very thick and it's lined. It offers a degree of compression--at least I feel that it sort of "squeezes" my chest, but it's a mild compression. I've never used compression bras or tops so I don't know how it would compare to something intentionally designed to compress. For me, it provides support without hurting.

I really never had a problem with it being uncomfortable on my knee. I had on a cast that "cut" into my leg because there wasn't enough padding at the top edge. I just stuck more padding along the top edge and it was fine. I'm still using it once in awhile now, with the cast off, and it is as comfortable as can be.

There is almost no padding, however we took it to Disney and my kids used it all day and never complained about being uncomfortable. It is roomy, because my 3 year old can switch positions.

You should not experience any pressure points, but you will feel what I can best describe as comfortable support.I have had some that I sank into so much that I practically had to get up to turn over. This is not that way at all.Hope this helps.

sorry for delayed reply, I was out of town. It's either foot. and FYI . . it works "ok". If you have big calves like I do, it's hard to maintain the position. Try it.

Fits fairly tight around lower calf..not too tight, but the elastic band at the top does its job

There is no padding on the bar but my mom has used it constantly with not problems and it's very sturdy as she has problems walking and getting up from a seated position.

That was a good question as I hadn't tried it on my calves yet. It pretty much takes both hands to hold the machine. One to provide the pressure and the other to keep it from toppling off to one side. I found I wasn't able to do the calves by myself so my wife helped.. Joe
