Pleasantly surprised, it actually worked for me
It's probably just my mattress or maybe "old" age or else a combination thereof, but I had been waking up multiple times in the night to change my sleeping position due to lower back pain. I tried stuffing multiple pillows under my legs and they seemed to help a little but were kind of squishy and not as effective as I desired, so I decided to go all in on this leg elevator pillow. And it actually works. The back pain isn't 100% gone, but I'm pretty much only waking up to get out of bed and take care of other biological necessities caused by being well-hydrated. I now use those pillows I had been putting under my legs to extend the length of the elevation pillow since my legs and feet were dangling more than I liked over the end.
I noticed some commentators mentioned a "smell", and although I've got quite a nose for it, I have not detected any unpleasant odors from the pillow.
My only concern is that once winter comes and I can't sleep with my feet exposed anymore, I'm going to have to figure out a way to both keep my legs elevated and the blankets from smashing my toes.
