I'm in good shape but recent surgery left me with the need for high abdominal support when I work out. Is the compression firm?

It's more compression in that it's snug fitting (to show off that Under Armour body!) It is not compression like compression shorts or cycling shorts. I wouldn't be surprised if UA offers a line of apparel like what you're looking for, but the Heatgear line probably won't do what you're wanting.

My foam pillow is firm, not rock hard, but holds up my legs. It is kind of square with a point on one end. I use the flat side up agenst the back of my thighs with my leg from knee down on top of the pillow in order to do leg exercises. I will use it when I get my artificial ankle joint to help circulation. I like mine. No complaints.

Not very. I'm having major low-back problems when I wake up. I'm looking for a way to make it feel firmer or else I'll have to find a firmer one. Good luck!

I think so. I got it to use after my hip replacement and its so comfy I am still using it.

With proper sizing, the abdominal support was in a good location for support (from my experience). The closures are pretty easy to connect and disconnect, so you shouldn't have any issues, if you chose to remove for urination purposes. I also found this easy to clean by popping it into the wash with other items and letting it air dry. I hope this helps!

My personal opinion would be "no." It is a fairly light weight, compression sock. A little extra support on top than some. But basically...holds sides in. I have used many...before, and after major surgery. I work on my feet for twelve hours a day, in steel toed work boots. I use compression socks to keep my foot support...even just a little. I would doubt it would support something enough...as serious as drop foot. Hope this helps.

i'm still learning UA's category myself, i'm 190cm and 90.5kg and for the time being, L size fits me comfortably, the "compression" style needs someone more slim though would look great if you dont have obliques

For me it is. I don't have a need for compression socks. I need support due to very thin foot.

This kind of depends on what you call firm. It gives me just enough cushion so that my bad hips are on softness.

I would wear this shirt only while working out or performing physical exertion for a sustain period of time. The longest I have worn this style shirt was four hours. The compression pressure is more beneficial with the heart beating faster and/or all muscle groups engaged in activity. It has not not ridden up my waist but I have a flat muscular stomach. The size I wear is a small. My waist is 30 inches and chest 36.5 inches. I hope this helps.

I ordered large knee brace, and it fits very firm and tight on my knee (my normal pants size is extra small to small). I was thinking about buying the extra large brace too for not-so-tight compression of my knee. The quality of this brace is very good.

My husband and I are both a bit shorter and 100# lighter, but honestly, it is so firm, I would give it a try. Its pretty darned firm. The wedge is really solid foam and then the top of the foam wedge is a 1" layer of softer foam, which makes it more comfortable and can fit our bodies better. I like it so much and I would guess it will be just fine for you. At any rate, there's a good chance it will make you happy and if it doesn't, return it. Amazon is great for that. Its worth the gamble and I suspect you will be on the winning side. Good luck!

They are not exactly compression. They work very well to protect the crotch rubbing of the skin and the same shorts with skin and avoid burns when training. If they are snug, but not so much as a compression.

I am not a side sleeper so won't be able to give the right guidance here. I sleep on my back and this mattress is really great and perfect from compression perspective. After a month of sleeping, all I can say us that I do not have lowe back pain any more. I hope it remains like that. Also to mention that my wife sleeps on side and she has not complained either. Said that I assume that this mattress could potentailly support side sleepers also.

It's pretty firm. My husband and I have talked about taking some stuffing out. I thought after a few months now that it would soften up, but no luck. It's hard for me to use on my head because many times I turn on my stomach, but it's great for me to sleep with on my side like in the product picture.

Hi, Yes, the mattress is a great combination between firm and supportive. I hope this helped! I love this mattress, in my opinion this is one of the best mattress I have ever slept on! I will recommend this mattress to anyone who is looking for a great mattress at a great price.

I don't feel I'm qualified to answer that question since I purchased mine for use as part of my physical therapy regiment for a broken back. It is rather firm, but how it will fit your space you want to fill...I don't know.
