Description
Description
Simple, light and fuss free. Place it between your knees and sleep.
When you sleep on your side with nothing between your knees, your top leg can drop forward and pull your hips out of line. The bean shape has a dip on each side, so each knee has somewhere to sit and the gap between them is held for you. The long side points out from the front of your knees, like a T.
Memory foam inside, a quilted, breathable cover outside that zips off for washing. About 220 g, light enough to move in the night or pack in a bag.
26 × 20 × 15 cm. Navy blue. No strap, nothing to set up.
General use items, not prescribed aids. If your surgeon, physiotherapist or occupational therapist has recommended something specific, follow that first.

- You want a lightweight, no-strap option that doesn't feel bulky in bed
- You're recovering from hip or knee surgery and need comfortable leg separation through the night
- You want something compact enough to travel with or pack in a hospital bag
- You've tried folding a regular pillow between your knees and found it too big or unstable
If you have been given specific positioning instructions after surgery, always follow the advice of your surgeon or physiotherapist before use.

Why we like this
The bean shape is the whole point. It's small enough that it never feels like you're wrestling something in bed, and it has a dip on each side so each knee has a place to sit. No strap, no setup, just place it between your knees.At about 220 g it's also light enough to pack, which makes it handy for hospital stays or nights away.
The physio behind the store
I built this store because I was already recommending this equipment in sessions every day. As a mobile physio working in people's homes, I know what actually fits a real living room, a real bedroom, a real kitchen and what older adults will actually use.
Everything here has been in my kit bag, used with real clients, and chosen because it works in the home environment, not just in a clinic.

Getting the position right:
-
Place it between your knees, not your thighs, with the long side pointing out from the front of your knees like a T. Not along your legs.
-
Aim for hips stacked, one directly above the other, with your knees a little apart.
-
If it shifts in the night, try it slightly higher on the knees.
-
Light enough to pack in a hospital bag, so it's worth having before a planned procedure.
-
After surgery, always check the right leg position with your surgeon or physio first, as it varies by procedure.
General use items, not prescribed aids. If your surgeon, physiotherapist or occupational therapist has recommended something specific, follow that first.
Key features & benefits
What makes us different
Everything on this store is something we actually use. It's in our kit bag. We bring it into real sessions with real clients, week after week. If it's here, it's because we've tried it, trusted it, and seen how people actually use it at home.
We're not trying to sell you everything. The range is curated for older adults building strength and independence at home, and simplicity is the whole point. You don't need a home gym. You don't need to be an expert.
As a mobile physio practice, we can only reach so many people in person. This store is how we share what works with everyone else.
Movement keeps you going
The evidence is clear: it is never too late to start. A few minutes of movement most days is a good place to start. You don't need a gym, a trainer, or a complicated programme. You need simple equipment that works at home and a reason to pick it up.
Three things regular movement may help maintain
-
Muscle StrengthWe naturally lose muscle mass as we age. Resistance exercise is one of the most effective tools for slowing that process — at any age.
-
Balance & StabilityBalance is a skill, and it responds to regular practice.
-
Independence at HomePeople over 65 benefit more from adequate fitness than any other age group — to maintain independence, recover from illness, and reduce disease risk.
