Knee Pillow w/Strap - New 3-Level Contour Memory Foam Leg Separator & Side Sleeper Design, Large to Small Support & Hip Alignment for Lower Back, Joint, Nerve, Sciatica & Pregnancy Pain Relief

Works ok. Not as thick as it appeared. Material a little bit rough. Velcro needed to be reinforced as was not stitched on all sides and was pulling apart.

I am a court reporter and have had fibromyalgia for over 20 years now, so pain is just part of my daily life. I had seen various knee pillow advertisements on TV, and I wondered if using one would really make any difference. Amazon, of course, has many varieties, but I chose this one to try because of its high ratings and the options it has available.I've been very pleased with my purchase, and I'm so glad I chose this specific knee pillow set. The strap obviously is incredibly helpful in not having to chase the pillow around under the sheets during the night. Even if you move around a lot in your sleep, this knee pillow stays where it should.Another unique feature is the ability to remove a layer of the pillow to reduce its width. (This is a very easy process because the extra layer, as well as the leg strap, are connected to the main pillow with very functional velcro. It's not coming apart unless you make an effort to separate it.) I personally prefer the extra layer, but being able to remove it is a good option to have.The pillow's outer covering is quite soft, and it can be unzipped and removed and is machine washable. The inner foam is dense enough to provide good support, but soft enough to be comfortable on all sides.Back to the pain relief I mentioned earlier. I have only been using this knee pillow for about five days, but I can emphatically say that I have felt a very noticeable reduction in the pain I have always had when waking up in the mornings. I've done nothing different with my sleeping habits, so the knee pillow has to get all of the credit for the relief I'm experiencing. I'm certainly not claiming that I'm suddenly cured and all pain is gone, but I am saying that this pillow has benefited me to the point that I won't be sleeping without it in the future.

Overall, this pillow is pretty soft and comfortable. The larger piece has a medium firmness to it and it does maintain its shape. I like the ease with which the covers come off for washing. There are a couple of issues with the design though. First, I specifically tried this product because of the two pieces that makes it somewhat adjustable. The smaller piece, however, is a lot less firm. It easily flattens to more than half its thickness. This makes it pretty much useless for any height adjustment purposes. The second issue is with the velcro that's meant to keep everything in place. It works fine for that purpose, having a firm grip. When it comes time to throw it in the washing machine though, it's a problem. The velcro lacks any protective covers which similar machine-washable items have. This results in it sticking to either the pillow cover itself (after getting all twisted up), or to other soft items in the wash. Turning it inside out doesn't help much, plus that's not possible for the strap itself.So overall, if you just want a sleeping pillow, this is nice, just don't expect much from the adjustment part of it. Hopefully future versions will be better.

This is a great knee pillow. I like that it has a detachable smaller pillow which I didn't need between my knees, so I put it on my pillow when I'm watching TV in bed, it works great for that. The knee pillow gives great hip and knee relief from pain. I need a hip replacement, and I'm trying to put it off until the Spring. In the meantime, cortisone injections into my hip every 3 months and good hip alignment at night with this knee pillow. I used the strap once, but really don't need it. The cover is very soft and can be removed to launder. This pillow has really helped me sleep at night. I highly recommend it.

I sit in an office chair all day for most of the week and don't do enough stretching or exercising, so lower-back, hip, and glute pain is the norm for me. Someone suggested I sleep with a pillow between my knees to help manage it since I'm a side-sleeper, so I did some looking around and decided on purchasing this pillow because it was adjustable and had a washable cover.In the beginning, the pillow was so tall and stiff that I couldn't even use the extra piece because it made the pillow too thick and uncomfortable. But after a couple of months of nightly use, the pillow became more and more flat, eventually requiring me to add the extra piece back on. Once I got used to sleeping with it (there is a transition period for your legs), my body definitely experienced some pain relief in my problem areas! I've now been using it for 10 months, but I'm not experiencing the same level of relief I did early on because now the pillow is much more flat and doesn't keep my knees very open anymore. It's still better than nothing, but it's lost a lot of its effectiveness.As far as the strap goes, I tried using it at first, and it was too uncomfortable for me. I stopped using it in the first week, and have never missed it. The pillow does slide down past my knees often throughout the night when I toss and turn, but I very, very rarely wake up and the pillow isn't between my legs at all. The shape of the pillow keeps it pretty well in place between the legs.Another complaint is that the zipper is in such a position that it regularly scratches my skin, and there is no way to fix that.All in all, there are better, more durable and sustainable knee support pillows out there, but you could do worse than this one.
