Frequently Asked Questions

How is this wedge positioned for use?
Place the wedge on top of a mattress, couch, or flat surface with the highest point (10-inch end) supporting the calf and the 45-degree slope angling down toward the foot. The legs rest on top of the wedge during use. This wedge is not designed to be placed under a mattress.

Can this be used after orthopedic procedures?
Leg elevation wedges are commonly used during lower extremity recovery to maintain limb positioning during rest. Always follow your surgeon's or physical therapist's specific post-operative positioning instructions regarding elevation height and duration.

How do I clean the cover?
The cover is removable — unzip or remove it from the foam core and machine wash according to the care label instructions. Allow to air dry fully before replacing on the foam wedge. Do not wash the foam core — spot clean only if needed.

What is the difference between this and a standard pillow for leg elevation?
A foam wedge maintains a consistent, fixed elevation angle throughout use, whereas a standard pillow can shift, compress, or flatten during use. The 45-degree incline and firm polyurethane foam construction keep the legs at a stable, consistent angle without requiring readjustment during rest.
