BoneFoam Knee Buddy Extender and Elevating Pillow for After Surgery Recovery & Rehabilitation, FSA/HSA Eligible - Designed with Physicians - Made in USA - Multi-use Elevation for Leg, Foot,and Knee

I am 5 foot five so don’t actually need the extension, but this is a fantastic pillow that saves you a lot of readjusting of moving pillows etc. It makes my knee more comfortable right away, and also can be positioned to help your lower back. There’s enough room for your other leg, or you can put the other leg on the side. This is well worth the money.

There are numerous knee support devices available online, but this is the only one I could find that offers 0° of flexion when your leg is elevated. Most of them have a slight bend behind the knee, which is absolutely contraindicated after a total knee replacement.Doctors recommend sleeping with your leg elevated on pillows under the ankle, and without anything behind your knee. This full leg pillow does the exactly the job, but with a lot more comfort. My physical therapist said hospitals should be discharging patients with these pillows.I’ve read complaints about the fact that it’s in two parts and sometimes comes apart. Just buy a crib sheet and that will keep the entire pillow together while you sleep (and is washable). Your physical therapist will have you use the ankle support separately for other extension exercises (which are ouch!)I’m 10 days post-TKR, and it’s a painful recovery, but at least this pillow makes sleeping a bit more comfortable. I know it’s expensive but do yourself a favor, it’s hard enough getting through a TKR - take advantage of all the available props and aids, and this, in my opinion, is an essential one.I still think it’s overly priced for a big piece of foam. I wish other companies would get on the bandwagon so they could bring the prices down with a bit of healthy competition :-/ but c’est la vie…

Only product I was able to find with zero flex in the knee when elevated. This makes it easier for my wife after knee replacement surgery. She can elevate her entire leg or use the smaller section to elevate her foot to work on straightening her knee to full extension. Highly recommend for anyone who will have knee replacement surgery.

Just was not for me. It was a good quality. Seem to make things worse, but that's just me.

Very handy and a good angle for healing after surgery. Being 1 piece might be better.

When I purchased this, there was not one product review, so I had to wrestle with the thought of spending $ 88 for two pieces of “unqualified” foam. But, I figured having a total knee replacement is no joke, am I not worth spending this money to perhaps make my recovery a bit easier? So, I purchased the product and brought it with me to the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York City (the #1 orthopedic hospital in the country). But, I didn’t use it in the hospital because they had active compression on both legs. I was starting to second guess my purchase. Then the head physical therapist came into my room and saw that I had a Knee Buddy. He asked if he could take pictures of my Knee Buddy so he could show his other patients what the product was, tell them where they could purchase it and why it was benefitical for their home recovery. Ok, so maybe it was a smart purchase......I did extensive pre-surgical therapy so I didn’t need to use the small cube end piece to help get to 0 flexion, which is what the cube piece is designed to accomplish. I achieved this goal within days after surgery. This cube as you can see from the picture attaches like a puzzle piece to the end of the angled wedge. Since, I am only a little over 5 feet tall, I called the company because when the small cube piece was attached to the wedge, my heel did not reach all the way into the cut out of the cube. The company said it wasn’t necessary. So, I kept the cube attached to the wedge, just so my foot would not dangle. The wedge is light weight, has a slight scooped out center for leg stability. The surgical leg emanates warmth because of the surgery, the open hole foam of the Knee Buddy prevented my leg from getting warmer or even uncomfortable. It provided me with the perfect level of elevation during my recovery. The foam is comfortable and soft. Yet, it never compressed and stayed in place at the foot rest of my chair recliner. It’s 12” width fit my chair recliner foot rest perfectly, leaving enough room for my other leg to lay straight or also elevate alongside the surgical leg. Sleeping for weeks with my legs elevated to reduce swelling, I never had to arrange pillows or worry about my leg slipping off the side. I honestly, will get use from the wedge long after recovery. Yes, it is worth the $ 88. A nice, hassle free recovery. My older sister visited me, who struggles with swollen legs and tried it, she thought it would be perfect for her when watching television to reduce the edema in her legs. I guess at our age, a Knee Buddy is a welcomed birthday gift. Lol. Honestly, spend the money. This surgery is hard enough, the Knee Buddy will make your recovery easier.

We bought this foam wedge for my husband's knee replacement surgery. We are very sorry we spent the money. This is nothing but cheap foam. The two pieces are like jigsaw puzzle pieces but come apart every time he moves. We tried duct taping it together but the tape won't stick to the foam. Even if it stayed together, it would not be worth $100+. The shape and idea are very good, the hight of elevation is very good but the product itself is just not made well and would. be worth 100 bucks even if it was. We fell for it. Hope you don't. There must be better ones out there for far less money.

Best foam board for after a knee replacement. Physical therapist advised to keep legs straight, this was the only thing that worked. Saved so much pain.
