Contour Memory Foam Leg Pillow with Cover

This pillow was too soft! It needs to be firm enough to keep your knees apart which is the whole purpose in using a leg pillow in the first place. This pillow was so soft that my knees ended up mashing it within minutes and therefore my knees were touching and the pillow was useless. I don't recommend this for anyone who needs a pillow for knee support for proper spine alignment and back health.

I have had a couple pillows of this sort. This one is perfect for me precisely because it is relatively soft and it isn't too thick. I am about 5 ft 8 in and 180 pounds, so not a huge man, but not small. I have knee problems and also a vascular malformation on one lower leg, as well as knobby knees. When I sleep on my side and my knees are together, I often have problems with lateral pressure on one knee, pressure between the knees causing blood stasis in the VM, or other problems. These are enough that I often have trouble sleeping or am awakened by pain. I sometimes sleep with a regular pillow between my legs, which has helped a lot, but it is very awkward under the covers. I tried a similar type of contour leg pillow that had much denser foam and was much thicker, but it was too dense and too thick -my legs just didn't feel comfortable with it, though I slept a little better. So I was looking for a thinner, softer pillow, which this is.

The bottom line is that these sorts of things depend a lot on personal preference, the size of the individual, why you need a leg pillow, etc.

Buy Contour Memory Foam Leg Pillow with Cover Now

My hubby and I have been using leg pillows for a while and needed new ones. We bought one of these and one of the HoMedics Ortho Therapy leg pillows, so here's my two cents comparing the two. This is the one that I use -I'm 5'7", female, average build. I like the pillow, the shape is good and the cover has a nice texture, but will almost certainly have to replace it in 12-18 months. I've already noticed that it is flatter than when I first got it a few weeks ago, though it isn't anywhere near problematic now.

My hubby is 5'9" and has some back problems, and prefers the HoMedics pillow. While he initially found it big and stiff, he's adjusted and likes it now. I've tried his once and it was FAR too wide/stiff for me -felt like I had a large cardboard box between my knees. I believe that the HoMedics will loosen up somewhat over time, but it seems more durable than the Contour, just too big for me.

Hope the comparison is helpful!

This is a really soft pillow, with a very nice soft cover. Unfortunately, the inside is too soft to provide enough support for most people. When I put it between my legs, it gets compressed too easily and my legs touch, which is not what is supposed to happen. This leg pillow doesn't provide enough support to keep your legs apart while sleeping.

The memory foam is much too soft, so the pillow does not separate the knees, making it worthless. Earlier versions of the Contour kneee pillow were made of regular foam, so initially, they provided sufficient separation to relieve stress on the hips. Eventually, the foam compressed until the spacing was insufficient, requiring replacement every few years. This new pillow was supposed to be the replacement, but brand new, it's worse than my existing old one. Presumably, Amazon will take it back; they're usually good about this.
