I use this every single night when I go to bed. It makes all the difference in the world for relief.

Good wedge pillow firm but still comfortable. My legs swell so I use this a night it brings down my swelling quickly. I like this wedge it's the best compared to others I have purchased before. Washable cover is nice.

I bought this wedge pillow a little over two years ago to relieve my lower back pain and swelling in my legs. At the time I was in nursing school and was sitting a lot for lecture and studying, and standing a lot during my clinical days. I now work as a bedside nurse, and while I move more in my role, there is still a lot of standing and sitting throughout my 12+ hour shifts. After I get home and shower, the first thing I do, is prop up my legs on the wedge for 15 minutes. It really helps. It has held its shape and support in the 2+ years I have had it and it is easy to remove the cover for washing (and easy to put it back, too).

I ordered the DMI ortho bed wedge before having foot and ankle surgery. I knew that I’d need to keep my foot propped up (toes to nose), and figured that a wedge pillow would be easier to manage than a pile of bed pillows.The pillow is covered with a removable zippered woven cover, that I assume is machine washable. The actual pillow is one piece of foam. I was surprised at how firm it was.I am currently five days post op, and using the wedge pillow during my waking hours. I have a splint on my foot and leg, covered with a thick layer of gauze, and covered with wide ace bandage. There are incisions in the top of my foot and on the outside of my ankle. I’ve found the wedge pillow to be helpful, but it’s too hard to use alone. I’ve found that I’m the most comfortable when I use a standard sized pillow lengthwise over the top of the wedge pillow. The need the extra cushioning because the hard foam of the wedge pillow causes the splint to press into my incisions. If I didn’t have the wedge, I’d have to use four or five bed pillows to get my foot propped up this high, so I’m happy with this purchase.If I were to improve the functionality of the wedge pillow, I’d replace the woven fabric of the cover with something thick and soft, like minky fabric (used for baby blankets) and add straps on each side to make it easier to carry as well as pull into place. I’d also add a 3”-4”layer of convoluted memory foam to the top side of the foam pillow to help cradle a wounded limb in comfort. If there were soft padding on this pillow, I wouldn’t need to use an extra bed pillow.

Very nice wedge pillow. I have one under my desk at all times to keep my feet up. I have worn out a few of these and will not be without it.

I love this! I have swelling of my legs and I it has truly made my legs happy
