Kopflo Elevate™ Leg Wedge Pillow

The Kopflo Elevate™ is an 8-inch graduated leg wedge pillow designed to elevate legs above heart level for improved circulation, reduced swelling, and lower back pain relief. Dimensions: 24 inches wide x 20 inches deep x 8 inches high (at peak). The gradual incline angle (approximately 20 degrees) is the optimal elevation recommended by doctors and physical therapists for therapeutic leg elevation. Multi-layer foam construction: firm base layer (45D memory foam) provides stability and prevents the wedge from compressing under weight; softer top layer (35D memory foam) conforms to leg contours for pressure relief. The wide 24-inch width accommodates both legs comfortably, and the 20-inch depth provides full support from calves to ankles. Includes a removable, washable bamboo-cotton cover with non-slip bottom surface to prevent sliding on sheets. Weighs 2.3kg. Ideal for leg swelling, varicose veins, poor circulation, lower back pain, post-surgery recovery, pregnancy, and improved sleep posture.

Remove the outer cover via the hidden zipper located at the back of the wedge. Machine wash the cover in cold water on a gentle cycle using mild, fragrance-free detergent. Air dry flat—do not tumble dry, wring, or iron. The memory foam core should never be washed; spot clean only with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Allow the core to air out monthly by removing the cover and placing in a well-ventilated area (avoid direct sunlight, which can degrade the foam). For optimal hygiene, wash the cover every 2-3 weeks. Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. The pillow may have a slight foam odor when new; air it out for 24-48 hours before first use. The non-slip bottom surface can be wiped clean with a damp cloth if needed.

Core: Multi-layer memory foam construction engineered for optimal support and comfort.

• Base Layer: High-density memory foam (45D) provides firm, stable support that prevents the wedge from compressing or losing shape under leg weight. Ensures consistent elevation throughout the night.
• Top Layer: Medium-density memory foam (35D) conforms to leg contours, providing pressure relief on calves and ankles while maintaining the therapeutic elevation angle. Both foam layers are CertiPUR-US certified (free from harmful chemicals, heavy metals, and formaldehyde).

Cover: Hypoallergenic bamboo-cotton blend (60% bamboo viscose, 40% cotton) with natural moisture-wicking and temperature-regulating properties. Breathable weave prevents heat buildup during extended use. Soft-touch finish is gentle on skin. The textured surface (visible quilted pattern) adds durability and improves airflow.

Non-Slip Bottom: Textured non-slip fabric on the bottom surface prevents the wedge from sliding on sheets or mattress, ensuring stable leg elevation throughout the night.

Q: What's the difference between this and just stacking regular pillows under my legs? A: Regular pillows compress and shift during the night, causing your legs to slide down and lose elevation. They also create uneven pressure points because they're not designed for leg support. The Kopflo Elevate™ uses a firm 45D base layer that maintains its shape and elevation angle throughout the night. The gradual incline distributes weight evenly across your calves and ankles, eliminating pressure points. The non-slip bottom prevents sliding. You'll maintain proper elevation for 8+ hours, which is necessary for therapeutic benefits like reduced swelling and improved circulation.

Q: I have severe leg swelling from standing all day at work. Will this help? A: Yes. Leg swelling (edema) occurs when blood and fluid pool in your lower legs due to gravity. Elevating your legs above heart level allows gravity to assist blood flow back to your heart, reducing pooling and swelling. The 8-inch elevation of the Kopflo Elevate™ is the optimal angle recommended by doctors for this purpose. Most customers with leg swelling report noticeable improvement within 1-2 weeks of nightly use. For best results, elevate your legs for at least 20-30 minutes before bed and then sleep with the wedge throughout the night. If swelling persists or worsens, consult your doctor.

Q: I'm pregnant and have lower back pain. Is this safe to use? A: Many pregnant customers use the Kopflo Elevate™ for lower back pain relief and leg swelling reduction, especially in the second and third trimesters. Elevating your legs reduces pressure on your lower back and improves circulation, which can help with pregnancy-related swelling. However, we always recommend consulting your doctor or midwife before using any support pillow during pregnancy, especially if you have specific medical conditions or complications. They can advise on the best sleeping position and elevation angle for your situation.

Q: I have varicose veins. Will elevating my legs help? A: Leg elevation is one of the most recommended non-surgical treatments for varicose veins. Elevating your legs above heart level improves blood flow back to your heart, reducing the pressure in your leg veins that causes varicose veins to worsen. The Kopflo Elevate™ provides the optimal 8-inch elevation angle for this purpose. Many customers with varicose veins report reduced leg heaviness, aching, and visible vein prominence after consistent nightly use. However, leg elevation is a management strategy, not a cure. For severe varicose veins, consult a vascular specialist about treatment options.

Q: Can I use this wedge for reading or watching TV in bed? A: Absolutely! While the Kopflo Elevate™ is designed for therapeutic leg elevation during sleep, many customers also use it for elevating their legs while reading, watching TV, or relaxing in bed. The firm support and gradual incline make it comfortable for extended use. Some customers also use it as a back wedge for sitting up in bed, though it's optimized for leg elevation. The versatile design makes it useful throughout the day, not just at night.
