Customer Reviews of HoMedics Ortho Therapy Leg Spacer Support Pillow with Velour Cover
Customer Review: Uncomfortable V-shape
Summary: 2 Stars
Each side of this support pillow is shaped more like a V than a U. I like to place the pillow above the knees and this one puts too much pressure on my thighs and is not comfortable. I returned this HoMedics pillow and purchased the Contour brand, which is shaped more like a U. Contour Memory Foam Leg Pillow with Cover, Ecru/Cream The Contour support pillow is quite comfortable and provides just the right spacing to keep my knees from touching. It straightens my spine even when I curl up like a baby. I can't sleep without it now!!Customer Review: Prevents Kneesles!
Summary: 5 Stars
I've found that sleeping with a knee pillow helps my lower back issues. The one I was previously using was so thin that it was almost like not using anything. This is a heavier, sturdier pillow and works well for me. It is a little bit cumbersome when moving around at night, but eventually you learn to keep your knees together when you turn, etc., and the pillow stays with you. There were a couple of comments about it being too big, and I agree, if you're built smaller, that might be an issue. Overall, an excellent product for my needs.Customer Review: I give it an A-
Summary: 4 Stars
Great product. The shape helps it stay put while it turn from side to side at night. It is probably .75" to 1.25" thicker than I would prefer, but i have been using it for the last year, to the point that my lower back is uncomfortable if I do not use it. If you're a side sleeper and suffer from lower back issues or don't like your knees knocking together, this may be perfect for you. Unfolding it half-ways and using it to prop up both your legs is pretty much useless as it's way to thin when unfolded.Customer Review: Decent construction, decently stiff and dense, problem is knees too spaced.
Summary: 3 Stars
the design of these dont work properly for me because the pillow is reasonably dense and the upper leg rests uncomfortably at an angle and hits pressure points on my lower leg's ankle area. the quality and construction isnt whats at fault its just the fact that your ankle area needs lift and support also. i tried this for a few days but am back to my cheap costco memory foam body pillow that covers the knees,ankles and feet.
basically i think the bodypillow is your best bet.
Customer Review: A little big
Summary: 4 Stars
I must first disclose, I purchased this as a Christmas gift for my girlfriend. She had wanted one for a long time and was very thrilled when she received it. However, the pillow is a bit big for her small legs and she says it feels awkward trying to sleep with it. This is the first leg pillow she has owned, so the whole idea could just be uncomfortable for her in general.
We still use it as a neck/head pillow for reading in bed though and it's great.
