Review on 🌙 Premium Bamboo Wedge Pillows for Optimal Sleep - Ergonomic Foam Leg Elevation Pillow for Leg & Back Relief with Detachable Cover by Christina Suk

I fell 6 days ago and tore a ligament on one side of my ankle and broke my fibula on the other side. While waiting to see if surgery is necessary, my doctor told me to always elevate my leg. So far I've used the armful of blankets that my husband and son had to carry between my bed and the sofa for me day and night. The downside to an armful of blankets is that they are awkward to carry around and don't work as well because my foot eventually sinks into them and the "rise" isn't as noticeable, causing me to they adjust blankets every few hours. After getting enough of this song and dance every day, I ordered this zen bamboo pillow based on the price and of course the reviews. So let me address a few points that others have already raised: 1. My pillow took shape as soon as I took it out of the box. Based on other reviews, this may not be for everyone.2. The pillow has a very slight odor but not overpowering and you can only smell it if you put your nose directly on the pillow. As with most new things, I'm sure the smell will go away completely over time. In addition, packaging can also have this smell, so be sure to throw it out to remove the "smell" from your room. The pillow seems big enough for both of my legs, but only if I hold them tightly together. I'll be able to experiment more with this tonight when I use it on my bed. (Now I'm on a fold out couch) 4. It's very comfortable - much more so than the armful of blankets I started out with.5. Having only used it for about 20 minutes I can't say for sure if it will "fall back into place" after removing my foot but I just tested it and so far so good. I will know more the longer I use it. Overall I would highly recommend this to anyone who needs/wants to put their legs up due to knee or ankle injuries or "just because".
