Am Spider
I've gone through so many surgeries and sprained ankles where I've had to rest my foot on a pillow to elevate it, but my doctor this time suggested an elevation pillow. This one has changed my post-surgery recovery forever.
Maybe that's a bit of a hyperbole, but I love this pillow. It is shaped really well to elevate my leg(s) without strain on my hips, and the dip is big enough to hold both legs just for added comfort (but also the pillow is small enough that I can push it to the side and only have one leg elevated). I keep this pillow in my bed and use a smaller one in my recliner, and I really feel the difference when using this pillow. It's so much more comfortable and easy to use than normal pillows. There are also a couple handles at various points on the pillow to make it easy to grab and readjust beneath covers.
One downside is that even with the grippier fabric on the bottom of the pillow, I did manage to kick it out of the end of my bed the first night I used it. However, I put a bed rail on the foot of my bed and that's held it in place ever since. If you keep your blankets tucked in at the bottom or have a high footboard, that won't be a problem for you.
In addition to all the surgical benefits, my cats have decided that this pillow is their throne. When I'm not using it (and sometimes when I am), they climb the ramp and curl up between the raised sides and just purr at me. Height, support, edges, no need to jump... it works well for pets as well as humans!
