What did this product help heal or comfort?
Lower back pain
“I use this product both in and out of bed. Whilst I have slept with the leg rest, I primarily use it to relive lower back pain and to relieve leg heaviness after long days sitting at a desk and during meditation and relaxation sessions. I recently brought this to a sound bath class and was actually able to lie completely rested for the full hour and a half without moving which is unheard of for me usually and really enabled me to get much more out of the session.”
“Glad I invested and glad I didn’t purchase off of Amazon. The cushion is sturdy, the right height and the curve supports my legs. My feet and legs feel much lighter so hopefully it will help my varicose veins.”
What did this product help heal or comfort?
swollen ankle following surgery
“Just what I needed to keep my legs elevated after surgery on my ankle. The only thing I might improve is the quality of the pillow case which is very thin. It would be good to use something waterproof or at least water resistant like the excellent mattress protectors I have on the beds. We had a bit of an incident with the cat peeing on the bed which wet the corner of the leg raiser. Very difficult to wash!!!”

Nothing
“I bought this for my 77 year old mother as she suffers with swollen legs. Unfortunately it just didn't help her and she found it really uncomfortable behind her knees, so had to stop using it.
We had seen all the positive reviews so she took it out of the sealed bag as she assumed it would work. That was a mistake as she should have kept the packaging on to try it, and it does say this on the item. However I contacted Putnams and they were able to refund an amount (less postage £13 and the cover cost of £33) so she did get some money back.
The moral of the story is to try things whilst they are still in the packaging as they advise. I suggest covering the item with a towel so that your legs are not directly on the plastic bag, otherwise it won't be comfy overnight.”
“I had a knee replacement 6years ago which gave me much improved mobility. In recent months my knee has become swollen without a known reason so I have been advised to elevate my leg. The Putnam leg raiser is very comfortable and a good benefit in my situation.”
