Cushion Lab Extra Dense Orthopedic Knee Pillow for Side Sleepers w/Hypoallergenic Cover - Firm Leg Support for Hip, Pregnancy, Sciatica, Joint, Spine, Back Pain Relief - Memory Foam Contour Wedge

I've always had a little back pain from sitting down for a long period time at work and home. I was once told by a friend that a knee pillow can help during sleep to ease of my pain from the hip and back. When I first purchased a new pillow, I selected a product from Amazon with many reviews with half the cost the Cushion Lab. I was very skeptical if a knee pillow would be beneficial to my pain, so I decided to save a few dollars. Mistake. It provided a bit of relief, but, simply, it couldn’t last the night. I would be easily crushed and couldn’t lift my leg up. It was more apparent over the months as it deteriorated. Then my wife bought the Cushion Lab for her pain as well without me knowing. I've told my wife that she wasted her money because a knee pillow wouldn't work and asked her to return. However, my wife wanted to give it a try. The next day, she said that she felt great! So I went through the Cushion Lab's reviews, and their talk about quality really struck a chord with me. Then I decided to give them a try even though they have fewer reviews. The difference was significant, as my pain has been greatly reduced and the pillow stayed supportive throughout the night. I woke up happy, and I was well rested. It is indeed well made like other reviews mentioned. The foam in the pillow is much denser, the pillow is slightly heavier, and it felt a more heavy duty. Therefore, I suspect it will last for a long time. Lesson learned: Don’t skimp out on quality. Just like one of the reviewers said... YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR... Please don't skimp out on products those especially related to your health... It's better to be safe than sorry!

I have Grade 1 retrolisthesis of the L5 which leaves me with permanent lower back pain, which is worst in the mornings. I have to sleep on my side as sleeping on my back renders me immobile, and although Im in pain in the mornings, sleeping on my side means I can still get myself out of bed (Im only 42 so not exactly over the hill yet) This pillow arrived yesterday. I used it last night, and hand on heart I have at least a 70% reduction in my usual morning pain. I have used a pillow like this in the past for a hip injury, but after being used for about a month the foam lost all rigidity and my knees were touching in the morning. There is no way on this earth this foam is going to flatten out. Fabulously firm but not uncomfortable to use. The cover is lovely and soft, and added bonus has a kind of slippery feel to it which I found helped when i rolled over, as it did not grip my sheets and pull out of position, as I found my last one with a towelling cover did. I have given the softness rating 1 star as its not soft, and nor it should be. This is the only model of knee pillow you need to look at. Get your credit card out... you're buying it.

I purchased this pillow for my husband who has back pain. We have tried other knee pillows; however, they are not adequate for his size. He is 6'3" and a muscular build. With previous pillows, the foam would collapse, making the pillow ineffective. Although more expensive than other pillows, this pillow is very high quality and the foam does not collapse. It has helped a great deal with my husbands back pain.

I have been having a lot of back pain when I wake up in the morning, and I thought that it was because of my mattress. But I realized that it was because I am sleeping on my side with not enough neck and knee support. The Cushion Lab knee pillow has really helped align my back during sleep to alleviate my back pain. I like the cushion because it is very soft and the memory foam is dense. I also use it as a neck pillow sometimes because it's more firm that normal memory foam pillows. If I could change one thing, I wish the middle of the pillow was a little thicker so there is a wider gap between the knees, but I don't think other knee pillows are made any thicker.

The pillow is much too wide and my legs are uncomfortably separated. I am 5’2” and a side sleeper with sciatica that seems to be in remission at the moment. I tried to give the pillow to my partner who is 6’2” and who always sleeps with a regular pillow between the legs, but they did not care for it either. I wanted to love this product, but sadly it was a waste of money for me.
