Contour BackMax Multi-Positional Bed Wedge Lumbar Support System - Back, Leg & Knee Elevation Pillows for Sleep & Recovery with Orthopedic Zero Gravity Weightless Comfort - Bonus Half Roll Neck Pillow

UPDATE: We have gone FIVE MONTHS without spasms or pain. This has quite literally changed my spouses life. The release of pressure has allowed for healing, and he has been able to play with the kids and be more active resulting in weight loss and better quality of life. A prayer has been answered here. It has not lost firmness and everything has held up well. If this works for you as it did for us.. it could be life changing. ORIGINAL REVIEW: I am sharing our story because I didn’t see many reviews specific to the purpose we bought it for. This was bought for someone who is 6ft, 230 lbs, and 32 years old. He has had sciatica issues for about two years now with little relief. In the past 6-8 months it actually has gotten worse by causing nocturnal leg cramps… I’m not sure if there’s different intensities of leg cramps but these were crippling, and would come anywhere from 2-6 times a night. This strong man would be brought to his knees in tears as I sat and watched helplessly. It was horrible. The lack of sleep would be hard on him, and the cramps were heartbreakingly bad. We had tried everything, pills, therapy, stretches, heat, cold, anything and everything we were told to do. I got so tired of watching this man in pain and decided to do some research of my own. That’s how we ended up here. I chose this unit in hopes of any amount of relief with no real hope it would do much.. but anything to make him comfier would be worth it. At 28” wide this thing is very capable of holding up such a large person. The foam is firm but that’s what’s needed to hold up someone over 200lbs. This unit is comfortable and fits the large size of our guy. (Side note: I am 5’9 but have insanely long legs, it does fit me differently than it fits him with his average sized legs. If you are 6ft and super leggy you may not be comfortable. Similarly, if you are too short I could see this being a nightmare. For the average American between 5’6 and 6’ I’d say is the sweet spot.) Back to the point of this review. We are 5 nights down without one back spasm or leg cramp! This is something that hasn’t happened in 6+ months! My sleepy pain filled shell of a man is back to being the dad and spouse we love and know! He thinks it’s not only because of the inclined position, but because of the wedge that keeps his feet in an upright position. He now sleeps on this thing all night without so much as a peep. It is really nice that it is zipped together and none of the pieces move out of place on him. It’s also worth mentioning that a king size bed is probably best for cosleeping since this thing is so large. In conclusion, it has provided more relief than expected, can hold a large person, and stays in position all night. If you or someone you love is in pain, it’s worth the try. 250$ sounds expensive.. but I’d have paid that to give even just one night of relief from what was happening, and so far we have 5!

It's nice and comfortable. The reason for not giving it the 5 stars is because It's a little bit too short. I'm 5'9 and my ankles float out of the pillow where feet are supposed to rest. Still comfortable enough not to return.

Firstly I am 5ft.8in and this wedge set fits me well. I love the fact that you can unzip the pieces a definite plus and also the carrier bag is great as we will be putting in the car to head south for the winter. I have serious back issues I have an adjustable bed and tried to use that but I just couldn't get it right and spent most of the night changing the foot or the head. I sleep on this unit every night and am very comfortable. It eases my pain to get a good night's sleep. I am not a big size person so I fit on the narrower one but had the wider one been available I think I might have liked the extra width, but we only have queen sized beds so that could have been a problem and maybe not fit in the car to take south. All in all I am super happy and have just suggested my daughter get it for her partner and herself. Update: it has been almost 9 months and I still use this wedge set over anything else. I am having spine surgery next week and am thinking I will continue to sleep on it after surgery. Best investment ever and it is still like new, the foam is holding up nicely no deterioration .

Excellent

I bought this product in Dec 2022 for my 360 lipo, and bbl post op procedure. After looking at dozens of YouTube videos and trying almost all reasonable methods suggested there, this is the one and only product that made me sleep well and feel very comfortable post op and no fat was compromised from my procedure because even though you’re lying on your back, there wasn’t any real pressure on those areas because of how your body is positioned on the pillows. I only was supposed to use this product for 6 weeks. However, Its now July and I’m literally addicted to sleeping on it. Yes it’s been just that awesome for me! Also, I’ve always wanted to be a back sleeper because I naturally used to always sleep on my side with my hands tucked under my face and when I awoke each morning, I didn’t like seeing lines of demarcation on my face from my hands being under my face or the bed impressions on my face. Well after having side joint pains, and seeing older people in my family who have slept that way for decades and now the sides of their faces have permanent heavy indents, deep wrinkles and demarcation areas from sleeping like that (especially on the side they sleep on the most), I’ve really been trying like hell to stop myself from sleeping on my sides like that. And this wonderful product has finally resolved that issue for me! And I just feel well rested, my under eyes are no longer swollen when I awake, no lines on my face in the morning when I awake because i no longer sleep on my sides because this product provides good head elevation while you’re resting and its prevents side sleeping. I experience true beauty rest indeed. Furthermore as an avid weight lifter I used to have an aching left hip issue. Seen a sports doctor for it but to no avail. I don’t have that issue anymore because with this product, I no longer sleep on my sides which evidently was the culprit causing my aching joint issues when I thought all along it was the heavy weights I was lifting. When I first started using this, I’d wake up with numb arms because blood wasn’t circulating properly during the night so I started putting a pillow on each side of my body to prop my arms up so my arms would be elevated with the rest of my body and that quickly resolved the issues. I must warn you though that if you fall in love with this product like I have, it’s gonna be very hard for you to travel and try to sleep in regular beds. I tried that a few weeks ago (because I couldn’t take this huge thing with me on vacation of course) and it was an absolute nightmare trying to now sleep the regular way. I’m not sure how to resolve this because I definitely don’t want to lug this huge thing around with me on trips. Lastly your partner might also not like you having this in the bed with you because it is huge. I don’t have that problem, but it is something to consider if you have someone sleeping with you nightly.
