A wedge you blow up, to keep your legs off the mattress

It is a broad ramp of flocked PVC with air in it. One long edge sits low and flat on the bed, the top face climbs in a straight slope to a rounded crest along the other edge, and there is a single push valve set into the short back face. That is the whole product.

You lie down. You put your calves up the slope, or you turn it around and tuck the crest under your knees. Your legs are held somewhere other than flat, and you do not have to keep them there yourself. People use it in bed, on a sofa, on a hotel mattress, on the floor after a long day standing.

It is a cushion. It is comfortable, it is light, and it empties out and rolls up when you are done with it.

What this page used to say, and why it does not say it any more

Until this rewrite, this listing carried a run of health claims about what putting your legs up on it would do for you - claims about veins, blood flow, nerves, back pain, pregnancy and recovery. Every one of them has been taken off.

Those are medical matters and this is not a medical device. We have no evidence for any of it, and a product page is not where anyone should be getting positioning advice for a pregnancy or a diagnosed condition. If you came here expecting the cushion to do something to your body, it does not. It is a shaped prop that holds your legs somewhere other than flat, and whether that feels good is up to you.

Two numbers went with them. The page quoted an incline angle that turns out to belong to a different manufacturer's cushion and that nobody has ever measured on ours, and a load rating in the hundreds of pounds that we could not find a single line of maker documentation for. Neither has been replaced with a smaller guess - see the details table below.

Two ways round

Calves up the slope. Low edge toward your hips, crest away from you. Your calves lie along the ramp, your knees stay softly bent, and your heels finish up as the highest part of your legs. This is the position most people buy it for and the one you will use lying flat on your back.

Crest under your knees. Turn the same cushion end for end. Now the rounded crest sits directly behind your knees and your lower legs run down the slope toward the mattress. Your knees are the high point instead of your feet. It is a smaller change in position and a much gentler one, and it is the one people tend to fall asleep on.

You decide how firm it is

There is one round push valve on the short back face. You inflate it yourself - there is no pump in the box - and you press the valve to let air back out.

Full of air it is firm and holds the full slope. Let some out and it softens, the crest drops, and your legs sit lower. That is the only adjustment there is, and it is the reason two people can share one cushion and both find it bearable.

It empties out to nothing

Press the valve, squeeze the air out, roll it from one end. What is left is a soft roll of flocked sheet that goes in a suitcase, a drawer or the trunk of a car. A foam wedge does not do that - it is the same size in June as it was in January, and it lives on a shelf whether you are using it or not.

This is the honest reason to choose an inflatable one: not that it is better under your legs, but that it disappears when you are not using it and it travels with you when you are.

Looking after it

The outside is velvet-flocked PVC, so it is warm to the touch rather than clammy, and it does not slide about on a fitted sheet the way bare plastic does. Wipe it with a damp cloth and let it dry completely before you roll it away.

It does not go in a washing machine or a dryer. There is no removable cover. And it is an air-filled PVC cushion, so keep it away from pet claws, buckles and anything else sharp - a puncture is how one of these ends.

Who it is for

Anyone who already likes lying with their legs up and wants something shaped to do it - after a long shift on your feet, at the end of a flight, on a sofa in the evening, in a hotel room where there is nothing to prop your legs on. It packs flat, so it suits people who move around.

It is not for you if you want a firm foam wedge that keeps its shape without you thinking about it, if you need something to take your body weight, or if you are looking for a device to treat a condition. If a clinician has told you to elevate your legs, ask them how - and tell them you are planning to use an inflatable wedge to do it.
