“I bought this knee pillow for my wife, but it didn't exactly amaze her because of how the pillow is positioned between the leg just above the knees. I thought about sending it back, but I tried it myself for a few nights and, well...I'm going to keep it (and buy another one if it ever wears out).”
“I've been using a similar pillow for a few years and cant sleep without it due to continued tissue damage in my legs from years of cancer treatments. With my old pillow it was starting to lose some of its density so when sleeping on my side (which is another necessity of mine) I had to choose whether I could keep my feet from resting one on top of the other or my knees depending on how far up or down my legs I placed the pillow. A new pillow with full density would allow me to place it in the center of my legs between my knees and feet and allow for both to be elevated and provide pain relief by not having them resting on each other.I looked for a pillow that was slightly thicker than the one I had been using, but also new that even one that was the same would make a big difference because of the density of the pillow not being broken down due to years of use. This pillow is actually about an inch wider than my old one so I thought I was picking the perfect pillow. What they don't tell you is that the center of the pillow is only THREE inches wide. So although the edge of the pillow shows that it is 6.3" wide, which is about an inch wider than my old pillow, my old pillow is a little over 4" wide in the center, which is the only part of the pillow that counts. So even broken down my old pillow is wider than this one in the center so it at least keeps my feet or knees from resting on each other so I'll continue to use it until a new one arrives that is wider in the center. I think it is pretty misleading to put the 3 measurements on there that for all intents and purposes don't really matter and leaving off the center width. It was easy for me to make an assumption that if this pillow was wider than my existing one (6.3" vs ~5") on the edge, than the center would at the very least be as wide as my current pillow.Another note that hopefully helps someone when making a decision: My legs are very thin because I've lost most of my muscle tissue due to treatments so I have hardly any weight that I'm putting on this pillow, so anyone who is looking to use this pillow for their legs and has even "normally" weighted legs you'll probably be disappointed because it'll squish down to much thinner than the 3", much more than my legs do to it, and it's still not nearly wide enough for me. Unfortunately in this time of Covid since I used it surely I can't return it. Wish that the 3" was advertised, especially seeing as it is the most important part of the pillow, and is clearly just an attempt to use less material and make the product cheaper. If it was wider in the center this might've been a good pillow.”
“I ordered this based on the number of great reviews. I should have listened to the 1 star reviews. When I first bought it, it was great for maybe a couple of weeks. It stayed in place and I slept better and did not have as much hip pain. But after that, it didn't retain it's firmness. It flattens to maybe an inch thick. I'm 5'6" and weigh 125 pounds so I don't think it's because I'm too heavy! Don't waste your money.”
“I'm pregnant for the second time and knew for this pregnancy I was going to need better relief. For my first pregnancy, I just used an old crappy bed pillow and it made me hot and didn't provide enough support.I knew I needed something with better support and that wouldn't make me more hot at night, and this pillow is perfect for that. I sleep so much better. It's also really lightweight, so I find that it transfers well with me when I roll over to the other side.I've also tucked it under a thigh/butt cheek while I'm sleeping on my back so I can be in a different position without being totally flat on my back (can't do that in pregnancy) and it's so nice. It stretches my back at the same time by having that slight twist.Great pillow, definitely recommend!!!”
“This knee pillow is helping allowing me to sleep without discomfort, and wake up without hip pain. It didn't take long to get used to it. It actually does not get in the way and sort of stays put even when changing positions. Still, give yourself a week to get used to it. It has eased my hip problem and helping it heal. It has just the right firmness. Recommended.”
“For the past year I've been having lower back issues and hip aches. I've gotten monthly massage therapy and had my back adjusted a few times. I'm not a heavy sleeper so anytime my body aches, I'll toss and turn all night. Someone at work told me about this pillow that helped his wife with similar aches and I figured it's worth a shot. To my surprise, the pillow takes off a lot of pressure and strain off my hips and lower back when I sleep on my side. I toss and turn far less at night and have less tension and aches throughout the day.”
“My hip pain has not been immediately changed, but I feel that with consistency, it may. It makes sense and I have read multiple places that side sleepers should use a pillow between their knees to keep their pelvis aligned in that position. Sleeping with this pillow does not feel normal yet, so I feel like I wake up often during the night. I will keep using this and I am sure it will start to feel comfortable and something I will grow to love (just like the contour pillow I use for my head. It took some time to get used to that one too, but now I even take it on vacations with me.)”
“I'm pregnant and also have an 18 month old that occasionally needs to be carried. I carry him on one side which has completely messed up the other hip. I would have pain on that side each night and this pillow has been amazing. It's soft but holds up to my chubby pregnant legs lol it relieves a lot of pressure on my hip and I'm so glad i went with this pillow. About double the price of the other popular one on TRAKK but man so worth it!!”
