Cushy Form Knee Pillow for Side Sleepers - Standard Orthopedic Wedge Leg Pillow for Sleeping and Hip & Lower Back Pain - Contour Memory Foam Cushion for Pregnancy, Washable Cover & Travel Bag, White

Great purchase. Needed for my hip replacement.

Good and sturdy

Immediate improvement on my hip pain! My hips started to hurt during the beginning of my pregnancy and it would get so bad at night when i laid down, eventually waking me up several times a night. I tried a maternity pillow and hated it. I tried a regular pillow between my legs which helped a little but it would migrate to somewhere else in the bed throughout the night which made it pretty useless. This pillow was a game changer! The pain faded more each night and within a week I felt significantly better! It's been a few months now and i can't remember the last time my hips hurt.It's super comfy and it almost always stays in place, even when i flip on my other side. The memory foam isn't exactly tempurpedic quality but it's not bad. The pillow case does get pilled like other reviewers mentioned but i don't really care because it just goes under the blankets anyway, it's not like it's for decoration. It has gotten a little worn in and feels like it compresses a bit more but it's still doing it's job and keeping me pain free.

I'm still trying to find the right knee pillow to help me deal with some IT band and hip issues that turn my leg to fire overnight. My PT recommended I use a pillow between my knees, and after trying every thickness/shape/resistance level of every pillow in my house I turned to Amazon to help me out. I thought this pillow would be the answer, since it had gotten so many good reviews, but it really didn't work that well for me. It did stay put during the night, but it was a bit too short to keep my upper leg in the position it needs to be to keep the stress off my hip - I just need a longer pillow and this one is about 3" too short. Unfortunately, I took too long to decide it wasn't for me and the return window was closed (I felt a little funny returning such a personal item anyway). A lot of reviewers seem to have found this to be their magic bullet, but it just didn't work for me. I'm not discouraged. It takes time for all of us to find the thing that works for us. Good luck in your quest.**UPDATE**: Shortly after this review appeared, I received an email that was so responsive and supportive that I actually read it like three times. When a manufacturer follows up with such sincerity, then I feel an expansion of a review that was not 4 or 5 stars is in order. I want to make it clear that although the pillow is not right for me, it is extremely well-made and sold at a fair price. I can see why there are so many positive reviews. I have used it many times (still trying to make it work, because I do like it very much) and the foam is still sturdy. The cover (removes for washing) is comfortably soft, and if there was a little pocket for the zipper pull, it would be absolutely perfect. I do wish it worked for me but it just does not seem to fit my body the way it fits just about everyone else's. If it's ever available in a version 3" longer, I'll be the first customer and I'll buy two, one for home and one just to travel with. Between the quality of the item and the follow-up, I'm changing my review to 5 stars (the 5th being for the excellent customer service follow-up). Even though it didn't work for me, I totally believe the good reviews. Buy with confidence.

I've suffered from a bad back and sore joints for years now, its all a part of getting older I suppose. As a result I find that I can only comfortably sleep at night by having a pillow between my legs. My hips and lower back are always a problem for me and I'm constantly trying to find ways to improve my sleep. I purchased this pillow with the hopes that it could replace the older pillow I've been shoving between my legs for years, surely a product made to relieve the pain would be better than a soft pillow, surely...I've been using this pillow for a week now and found that not only was it not an upgrade over my older pillow but that it was actually worse. I'll admit the pillow is made well, has nice memory foam qualities, and doesn't have any chemical scent that I was afraid of when I ordered it. My sleep hasn't improved though, it's become worse as I toss and turn every night. Last night I finally went back to the old pillow and woke up with this pillow tossed on the floor.I feel where the pillow let me down was it's size. I'm a pretty average size man, 5'10" 200lbs. The Cushy Form only sits between my knees and while it does a good job of properly separating my thighs for sleeping it left my lower legs with nowhere to go. I ended up crossing my ankles and it wasn't a comfortable position. Perhaps I got used to using a longer pillow between my legs for years and thats why I wasn't satisfied. Even the product photo of the Cushy Form shows a smaller woman with the pillow between her knees. I'd consider this product again if it had an "XL" version that would provide more support below my knees and let my entire leg rest in a natural position. For smaller people I may suggest this product but for any looking for full leg support I think you should look elsewhere.
