First the really good news is that this pillow stays in between my legs all night. I toss and turn quite a bit and end up on both sides, back and once in a while on my stomach. When I tried to use a regular pillow in between my legs, it would always end up on the floor. This product stays put. For the last several years I wake up each morning with pain in my lower back and in each hip. I have been using a heating pad on my lower back and usually by the time I get my breakfast the pain goes mostly away. I have used this pillow now for about two weeks. Initially I did not notice any help with my pain, but each day I did notice the pain becoming less especially in my hips. This pillow is very easy to use and many times I wake up to go to the bathroom and forget that it is still between my legs. If you have pain in your hips and lower back, this product is worth a try. It may not help everyone but it is helping me.

I have suffered from lower back pain for many years and recently had a total hip replacement. I could barely stand up straight due to my back and hobbled from the hip surgery even after 8 months. It occurred to me that maybe a pillow between the knees at night might help. WOW, this knee pillow has really changed my life. I'm walking now without pain and standing straight after a short loosening up in the AM. Who knew that all I had to do was sleep with this orthopedic pillow between my knees at night and within a week would no longer need to make an appointment with a spine doctor. Too bad they dont tell you these things at the Dr visits after surgery.

I ordered this pillow based on the previous reviews and the reviews were right. This is a large pillow that comes inside of a washable cover. It fits my legs perfectly and holds my knees apart so that I can sleep comfortably. I have OA in my knees and finding a comfortable sleeping position is very hard. With this pillow is is very easy to get comfortable now. My knees don't touch which is the main reason why I could not get comfortable. Having my knees touch made the arthritis much more painful while I was laying down in bed. With this pillow, I no longer have this problem.

I suffer from bad sciatica. I asked my dr about a pillow and he said not to get it because it may or may not help and he didn't want me to waste my money. Well after a couple weeks i got desperate. I read all these reviews and ordered the cushion with the best ratings (within my budget) i was so excited to get this i immediately tried it. I was disappointed. My knees/ legs were barely apart. They were pretty much still touching. I saved the packaging so i could send it back. That might i tried it again just to give it a fair shot. THAT NIGHT WAS THE FIRST NIGHT I SLEPT THROUGH THE ENTIRE NIGHT IN 6 WEEKS!!! and it wasn't a fluke. A week later and i'm still sleeping through the night. My hips are no longer sore in the morning and it's not excruciating pain when i sit up in the morning. Don't get me wrong i am still in pain especially when bending or stooping but the all day "just for no reason pain" has gotten a lot better. I have no idea how but this thing works. I won't even lay on the couch without it now.

My husband has been suffering from sciatica pain for the past year. The pain would make sleeping difficult and was really bad when he got out of bed. He is currently going to physical therapy for it but has had very little relief. After one night using this knee pillow he had NO pain when he woke up! The pillow is firm enough to keep your knees separated yet the cover is very soft to the touch. Somehow it seems to move with you in your sleep without falling out of place. Amazing product!

I have been using this for over a week now. I really like the design and the material. I have never really used a knee pillow before. If I needed one I just used a regular head pillow. After having back surgery it was recommended that I purchase a knee pillow. I looked for one that was reasonably priced and that had good reviews. This Knee Pillow was one of the first ones I looked at. This has been a great purchase. It doesn't seem to retain very much heat, which is a plus for me. Stays in place throughout the night.I love this Knee Pillow I recommend it.

Over the past couple of years, I have developed a good bit of hip and neck pain that made sleeping difficult. After using this pillow for about a month, I am very impressed with how effective it has been. My hip and neck pain, along with my overall sleep, have improved. I really wasn't sure what to expect when using a knee pillow. Generally I don't do well when trying out new things to improve sleep. But the pillow is very comfortable. It takes a few minutes to fully "sink in" and conform to your body. But once it does, it provides a very soft and warm cushion. I'd highly recommend this knee pillow to anyone suffering from pain. It's absolutely worth the money!

Got this for my wife as she was starting to eye my old knee pillow with envy. When this one arrived, she initially complained that it was too hard... which thrilled me, because I immediately offered to give her my old one and use hers instead. I reluctantly pointed out that such is the nature of memory foam, and you need to give it a few seconds to compress in all the right places. She now loves this little pillow and uses it every night. I guess I'll have to order a new one for myself, darn it. I wouldn't mind seeing a higher quality cover, but I think it will suffice.

I researched many knee pillows and I was looking for a product that was not too large and one that was comfortable. I am 5' and 112 lbs side sleeper and this pillow is the perfect size and offers great support. It is very comfortable support and my hip pain is gone. Prior to buying this item, I would use a regular pillow and even tried a neck rest pillow - neither were helpful. I noticed a difference the very first time I used this. It does not squash down but rather provides a temperpedic type of support. I considered a pillow with straps but decided against it after reading reviews of other pillows where it tangled up at night. This pillow stays in place thanks to the design. I often flip sides at night in my sleep and the design of this pillow helps it move with me and stay in place. Definitely would recommend!

So pleased with this product and seller! I was in a serious auto accident a year and a half ago with knee and neck injuries. Nothing worked to help the knee pain at night while trying to sleep. Then I found this pillow! Amazing!! So impressed I purchased one for my daughter who was having back/hip/knee issues from running. She loves hers too! I am an RN so I am very picky about support/therapeutic devices. The cover of this pillow zips off for laundering. The pillow maintains its shape with continued use. Comes with a lifetime guarantee. Highly recommend. 5 Stars!

I wanted to give this product a few days testing before I reviewed it. I have many health issues right now which makes it hard to focus on just one thing while trying to sleep. With a bad back, bad circulation in the legs, and restless leg syndrome you can see giving this pillow an honest review was going to be hard. The first three days went as I thought it would, I just couldn't hold still, but as time went on I noticed how in the middle of the night I was fishing around for this pillow with my legs after kicking it away at some point in my sleep to pull it back to me. I still only sleep about 4 hours at a time, but when I do I notice how much this pillow has helped me, and how I have been able to keep it in place for a longer period of time. .............................................................. So for me, this pillow has helped out a great deal, and my lower back does feel more rested, and I wake up in a great deal of less pain. So it did take some time, but now it may seem silly, but my legs are like a child missing a lost teddy bear when my pillow isn't there.

Unfortunately this pillow didn't work for me as my condition is a bit of an enigma. I easily give this five stars for a few reasons...The pillow is very well made and looks like it would last for many years due to the materials it is made of. It has a removable washable cover. The material did not make my legs sweat, they stayed cool. The memory foam conformed nicely to my legs after about 5-10 minutes. Lastly, the customer service AFTER the sale was top notch. They followed up with a personal email after I had received it and seemed to genuinely want to know how my experience with it was. After I explained to them that through no fault of the pillow, it did not work for me, custom service did something I never would have expected and left me with a deep respect for a company who rose above just making a sale. I sincerely hope this review will make you feel more at ease in testing this product if you are unsure of making the purchase.

I love this pillow, because the memory foam is high-quality and firm. It's got good airflow (a must-have in blazing hot Arizona) and doesn't make me feel overheated or sweaty like other memory foam pillows do. The cover is removable and washable, which is a huge bonus. The zipper on the cover is quality as well, and I feel confident that it will hold up over time and frequent use. The only warning I'd like to give to smaller-framed individuals (like myself) is that if you are are petite-framed or weigh less than 115 lbs, the pillow may seem too thick between one's legs. I'm 5'0" and weigh 107 lbs and my legs aren't heavy enough to compress the pillow as much as I'd like. (Not the pillow's fault, I'm just a small person!)

After reading all the positive reviews, I decided to give this pillow a try. I am a side sleeper and like to hike my bent leg pretty far up, which I imagine really puts my spine out of alignment. Needless to say, tossing and turning with severe low back pain all through the night and well into the next morning. The first night I used this pillow, it was like a miracle. The only time I woke up was to turn over to my other side with my pillow still between my knees. This is my third night of using the knee pillow and probably the best 3 nights of sleep I have ever had and the ability to get out of bed the next morning with no back pain. I had no problem adapting to this pillow. It is soft, comfortable and stays put. I just hope I don't have a problem removing the cover to wash as some reviewers complained about. I have already told my sister about this pillow. Thanks for such a great product from a great company!

My husband recently had knee replacement surgery. His physical therapist recommended he put a pillow between his knees at night. Didn't work well.....so I saw an for your knee pillow and ordered two. My husband is doing better with his new pillow and I'm using one too because my hips bother me at night. They're a little cumbersome at first, but a couple of nights and we're getting used to them. You've made a couple of 86 year old seniors happy!

I only got this pillow today, so I will update this review later on if need be....I already have plans to get another one of these as a gift for someone this year. For those who are wondering if this pillow will compress pathetically between your legs, fear not. This is a nice, firm pillow that needs a good deal of pressure to compress to halway it's size. My pillow measures at a little more than 3 and a half inches at the narrowest point. For me, at least, that feels quite wide during use. I was concerned this pillow would feel like nothing, but it is very supportive. Very happy and excited to use this pillow.

my first night with it I was skeptical because it was a lot the thicker then the pillow ive been using. and there was abit of adjustment on first use, but by the second night it was already far more comfy and then the third night felt like it had been there forever. it is extremely comfortable. 1 thing I really like better over a normal pillow is the size, it fits so snug between my legs, when I roll over it doesn't snag the sheets like a normal pillow does. I was forever fighting my sheets, and now I roll over with ease. so if you have lower back issues and you are looking for a good leg pillow, look no further!

I'd tried a regular pillow, couch pillow, and body pillow. I'd begun to think that positioning wouldn't help, but this pillow helps a bunch! I can walk to the bathroom (50x/night) without wincing the whole way!

This pillow is much superior to another supposed "Memory foam" pillow I bought at a department store. It is is firm, but not rigid. I place it just above the knees, and go right to sleep. I don't have to constantly re-position it to get comfortable. I wish everything in life worked that well, including my joints, lol.

Since I have back problems, I can't sleep without a knee pillow or something between my legs to get my hips to align right. I've been using my Contour leg pillow for years - and although it helps, I feel like it's not thick enough and it always winds up on the floor by the time I wake up. I found this knee pillow and decided to give it a try and I'm so glad I did! It's made of memory foam, but it's very dense so it feels like it actually supports the leg that i'm putting on top when I sleep on my side. I also don't feel like it's crushing my leg/knee on the bottom and the thickness is perfect! I feel like my hips are finally aligned when I sleep on my side. It's also a bit larger than the Contour pillow, but that's a good thing! I've been sleeping very well and not having shooting nerve pain down my right leg as I tend to have most of the time. This is a fantastic pillow and I highly recommend it.

I was pleasantly surprised how well this worked. I flip from one side to another often and it is way less hassle using this than a standard pillow that I used to use. After airing it out a day it was good to go. It is nice and soft as well as supportive. My only regret is not purchasing this years ago.
