Back Pain Relief Bolster Pillow Reviews Summary

Comfort and Support

Pros:

• "It really gives relief to lower back pain. I use it in bed for my arthritis in my lower back."
• "I use this at night when sitting in bed watching TV. I have a bad back but using this pillow eases the pain away so I can enjoy the TV."
• "This is nice for back sleeping. It lifts the knees and relieves back pressure."
• "Just the right height to use when sleeping on your back under your knees or between your knees when sleeping on your side."
• "I was looking for a bolster that I could prop under my knees while sleeping, yet also leave between them when I'm on my side, as I change positions during the night. Finally, one that works for both!"
• "This pillow gives just the right amount of support behind the knees. Takes pressure off the back and allows a good night’s sleep."
• "Been waking up with lower back pains & desperately needed this between my knees as I’m a side sleeper and it’s been great."

Cons:

• "I’ve had it for a couple weeks and I honestly can’t tell the difference most of the time."
• "I could use a bit more elevation."
• "The top has a very thin layer of memory-like foam, but not enough to make a difference."
• "I have a hard time finding a pillow case for it."
• "It doesn't stay in place very well on my sofa."
• "For me, it's not big enough to take pressure off my back when having it under my legs."
• "It made my back hurt worse than usual. Very disappointed and do not recommend it to anyone that is looking for something soft that will conform to your body."

Material and Quality

Pros:

• "I gave it time to 'breathe' and was pleasantly surprised how it retained it shape."
• "It is the right height for elevation under knees. Well made and does not have any strange smells to air out."
• "No smell from the get-go. Cushion is firm, which is what I wanted."
• "It seems durable and high-quality. It has held up great for months so far and has held its shape."
• "Nice washable cover, great comfort and support from memory foam."
• "Loved the fact that it had no chemical odor and had a cotton cover."
• "The memory foam is nice and rebounds quickly from being compressed."

Cons:

• "In the instructions it mentioned it would take 'some time' to soften up."
• "This 1/2 circle is too low to provide any elevation under the knees when on your back."
• "It is some type of foam, but not that slow-rebound type in memory foam."
• "I find the pillow great for spine alignment, I do with there was a pillow case sold with it. The fabric of what is around the memory foam is quite itchy."
• "It's literally like laying on a rock."
• "Comes severely shrink packaged so you have to destroy the packaging so you feel like it can't be returned."
• "This pillow is definitely not all memory foam as implied in the description."

Design and Versatility

Pros:

• "Back Pain Relief Memory Foam Pillow - Half Moon Bolster Knee Pillow is so great for my knees while watching TV in bed."
• "Between the legs for sleeping on the side, and under the knees for sleeping on the back."
• "These items are truly helping my daily low back and need-to-be-reconstructed knees' pain level reduce."
• "I am very tall and I’m trying to train myself to sleep on my back. This has been a big help. It feels like the one my masseuse uses. Nice product."
• "This is exactly what I needed for back support while sleeping."
• "Seller must have shipped within a few minutes of my order being placed as I received it right away."
• "The memory foam is very comfy."

Cons:

• "No way this thing is memory foam, I have 4 pillows that are memory foam and they are soft, compress with your body heat and come back to the original shape."
• "This 1/2 circle is too low to provide any elevation under the knees when on your back."
• "Pillow is still flat after 2 full days. Never regained its shape."
• "Much shorter in length or height would have made it difficult to fit both legs comfortably over the pillow with a sufficient amount of support."
• "So far it slips when I use it between my legs."
• "I had hoped the pillow would work well under my knees, but it's too hard and doesn't conform."
• "This bolster was just too firm. It caused pressure points when I tried to sleep with it and was very uncomfortable for long periods of time."
