UPDATE: After 6 months I don't have to worry about it being too stiff. It now has barely any spring in the middle and squashes almost flat. For what I paid I would have expected it to last a lot longer.Take these reviews with a grain of saltit's kind of like me telling you how great I like a particular mattresswhat I like might not be what you like. Having said that, it is good to read the reviews to gather the positives and negatives about this knee pillow...
-it's got a washable cover. Important because these things do need a good washin' once in awhile. :)
-it may or may not be thick enough for you, here's where you'll just have to try it :(
-it's made of memory foam, so this pillow is going to give a bit. It will be too little, too much, or just the right amount depending on who you are and what feels comfortable :) :(
-the memory foam is a big plus if you're worried about your knee pillow getting beat down into a pulp over time. I suspect this pillow will keep its shape for years.
So there you have it. My recommendation is to try it and see how you like it. Its not too expensive of a gamble, could turn out to be the best pillow that ever helped your back pain, and you can always return it.

Every time I bought a new one, however, I found that they were getting softer or less dense. The last one I had just mushed down completely as soon as you put any pressure on it. I've been using the Carew for a month or two now, and am very impressed with its density and firmness. It holds its shape very well all night long. If you're looking for firm support in a leg/knee pillow, this is definitely a good choice.I've used several different brands and have been frustrated with the lack of support. Ironically it was a review on this one that made me try it. It is firm and provides the BEST support of any I have tried. I use it every night and have noticed a difference already. Not sure over the long haul how it will hold up, but it is already better than any other, including the one I purchased from my chiropractor.
