The dimensions are 17″L x 10″W x6″H. It’s not as long as it seems to be in the pictures so before you buy get a tape measure and measure out how wide 17″ actually is, this is probably the biggest complaint from those who buy, that it is shorter than expected.
The Therapist’s Choice® Elevating Leg Rest Cushion fits under your knees while you lay on your back. Using the Leg Rest helps to maintain the spine’s natural curvature, relieve stress on joints and diffuse pressure points. The Therapist’s Choice® Elevating Leg Rest Cushion reduces lower back pain by elevating the knees and allowing the lumbar (lower abdominal section of the torso) to flatten. The Therapist’s Choice® Elevating Leg Rest Cushion is also able to be used to increase comfort while lying in bed. Elevating the knees also helps with blood circulation.
A Therapist’s Choice® Elevating Leg Rest Cushion can be used with a back wedge to prevent sliding down the back wedge and to further enhance the benefits of both bed wedge pillows.
The dimensions are 17″Lx10″Wx6″H. The 17″ is wide enough that your legs don’t fall off if you are awake, but a number of users have complained that they wish it were wider and that if they lean or roll to one side that their legs came off. A suggested solution was to buy one Therapist’s Choice® Elevating Leg Rest Cushion for each leg.
As one user stated “I like the height. It’s perfect for me. The construction seems fine. It’s like the three bears, it’s JUST right. Not too hard & not too soft, not too short & not too tall. Of course, you could spend 5 times as much & get something made of memory foam, but I didn’t see anything that looked like this anyway. For the price, it does the job. In fact, I bought two of them because I thought 34″ (2×17″) would be better.“
