I am 60 years old and was having trouble sleeping when on my side with my knees together. I was going to have my wife make me something out of foam and a ace bandage and then I found this and it works great!In fact I ended up buying another one for our weekend house. I am 180lbs and the foam does wear down some but it has relieved my pain from my knees rubbing together. I have had the first one for about 6 months and it is still holding up fine. I have only wore one at a time on just one leg but I could see the benefit of wearing one on both legs if you are a little over weight it would give you better support and maybe offer relief from back pain too. Make sure you measure your leg about 5.5 inches above your knee to get the right size and there is a top and bottom when wearing it. The elastic does not bother me like some other reviews but it is not as tight on top as the bottom is for me but it stays in place just fine. No more fighting to keep a pillow between my knees!

As a side-sleeper, sometimes my knees ache from having the bones right on top of each other. I've tried knee pillows, but every time I turn to the other side, the pillows have to be manually adjusted and placed again between your knees on the other side. I can slide this onto either knee and no matter which side I'm sleeping on, the "pillow" is always between my knees. I'm sleeping more soundly and without knee pain. I give it a 4 instead of a 5 because the fabric isn't particularly soft, but the benefits outweigh that issue.

I have a lot of arthritic knee pain that wakes me multiple times during sleep. I've tried a regular pillow between my knees and two different pre-shaped knee pillows. The pre-shaped pillow are too bulky and tend to hurt my hips. The regular pillow has to be repositioned with turning, so it results in waking from a sound sleep to turn. This is the first item that I've found that provides pretty good comfort. I hate elastic and I have to say, they put minimal elastic to be bothersome. Additionally, the cushion stays in place. Overall, I've had improved sleep and much less knee pain in the mornings. I think finding the right knee pillow is a personal choice. I'm sure the curved out knee pillow work for some, but not for me. This cushion is very easy to use and really works! I am unable to comment about the longevity, but it looks like an easy to wash item. It feels like cotton and the cushion is soft but firm and sewn into place. I recommend sizing per the directions listed. I initially thought about buying the largest size but measured myself and ordered the large and it fit perfectly.

I did return this item. It works as advertised so, I'm still giving it 3 stars. It stays on and in position. I used the size guide, and the size I ordered fit me-I was in the middle of the range. Unfortunately it is not comfortable for someone who sleeps with a bend in the knee (about 45 degrees). The compression used to hold it in place seemed too tight & formed a crease at the back of my knees that was uncomfortable. It probably works better if you sleep with your legs straight or with only a slight bend in the knee. I also found the elastic to be a bit harsh.

The wrapping material is very coarse, stiff and harsh-feeling on your skin. I woke up after night 1 and noticed that the skin on the back of my knee was all red. 2nd night it was so painful that I took it off and threw it away after wearing it maybe an hour. I definitely got the correct size because it slipped right on and was easily adjustable.

This device does adequately pad knees and improve alignment, however, it is too constricting. I am 6 feet tall, 155 pound male with slender legs and purchased the medium, following the chart's recommendation. It felt snug the first couple of nights but nothing too uncomfortable and did not cut off blood supply. After a few nights I noted some minor puffiness in my foot. By day 10 the swelling was more pronounced and was accompanied by numbness in the foot. After stopping wearing the pad the swelling has gone away.Although this pad does not cut off arterial blood supply to the foot, nor does it stop venous blood return from the foot, it does cut off normal lymph fluid drainage from the foot. I do not have any vascular health problems or any medical problems for that matter.Anyone with circulation problems of any kind should avoid this type of product that acts like a tourniquet and is potentially cable of causing real problems.

I have osteoarthritis in my knee on the inner joint. When I would sleep at night I would wake up often with knee pain from the pressure of it resting on the other knee. Since I have gotten this - no more knee pain at night!! Someone had mentioned there was a "hole" in the padding and they didn't like that; I found that it keeps the joint area from being too bulky. I guess sorta like sitting on one of those inflatable donuts when you have a hemorrhoid! This works perfect for me and it doesn't matter if you sleep on your right or left side or flip around like I do - it stays on and doesn't slip or bulge. I looked at many knee pillows/pads before purchasing this one and am so glad I did! The company - Alpha Medical is also great to deal with - I had ordered the wrong size, and Amazon was able to contact them before it shipped and they changed it, the company also emailed me personally to let me know that it had been taken care of. Great Customer service by both Amazon and Alpha Medical! update: still love this knee pillow, when the weather is bad my knee does still hurt - day or night. I imagine the pain would be worse without the pillow though on those nights.

As a medical professional, I had my doubts at first about the thickness of the padding, but having used it for several months, it is amazingly effective and comfortable. My wife has been using hers for 6 months and is thrilled with it. Washes very well in our laundry machine, every 2 weeks and allow it to air dry. Then they feel as good as new.

Bought for my elderly mom but she finds the material uncomfortable (it’s not soft at all) so she does not use.Not a bad product but not great (similar to sport padding)

This pad was evidently made for people with a patella problem because there is a hole in the middle of the padding. As a patella knee pad, I have seen a lot better. It is sold now as a between the knees pad for sleeping on the side. In theory, I don't have a problem with the fact that this pad can be ''recycled'' with a different use in mind. The problem for me is that the padding is too thick (or too firm) to be comfortable.
