Orthopaedic Knee Pillow - Sleep Better. Rest Smarter
Orthopaedic Knee Pillow - Sleep Better. Rest Smarter
After hip or knee surgery, your surgeon will often give you specific instructions about how to position your leg during sleep. Keeping your leg in the correct position is an important part of following your post-operative instructions and doing so consistently through the night can be harder than it sounds.
Most people stuff a regular bed pillow between their legs and spend the night chasing it around as it slips, flattens, or falls out. It's frustrating and it interrupts the sleep your body needs during recovery.
This orthopaedic knee pillow is purpose built for exactly this situation. It stays in place, supports your leg comfortably through the night, and lets you actually rest.

Physio Pro Tip
Physio Pro Tip
After joint replacement surgery, your surgeon or physiotherapist will give you specific instructions about how to position your legs during sleep. These instructions vary depending on your procedure, surgical approach, and individual circumstances. Always follow the guidance given specifically to you.
A pillow between the legs is commonly recommended for a period of time after surgery. Your surgeon or physio will advise on the appropriate duration and position for your situation. A purpose-shaped pillow like this one is designed to hold that position more consistently through the night than a regular bed pillow.
Every surgery is different, always follow your surgeon's specific instructions and ask your physio if you're unsure what's right for you.
