4 Reasons to Sleep With a Leg Pillow

Leg pillows are often the unsung heroes of the support world. Despite all they can do and how much comfort they have to provide, they still don't get the respect they deserve. Today we set aside that oversight and look toward leg pillows and what all they can provide.

Perks like:

1. Reducing Back Pain

This is perhaps the best leg pillow pro that there is. Because the pillow isn't used directly for the back, we tend to forget how it can still reduce back pain. However, by propping up the lower legs and removing weight, then readjusting how the body rests at night, aches can be greatly reduced for the following day … and every day this method is used.

2. Promoting Muscle Health

When muscles aren't stressed from aches and pains, you're able to better utilize them to the fullest of their capabilities. That means it's easier to work out (or even just to function throughout the day). Additionally, blood and oxygen flow can be increased, allowing for further health.

3. Convenience/Cost Effective

Adding a leg pillow is a simple way to step-up your sleeping space. If you're traveling and need a little more comfort, leg pillows are an easy way to go. If your back is sore, use of these models to help your cause without expensive treatments. And when used on an ongoing basis, you're likely to gain even more relief out of your comfort method. 

4. Pressure Relief

Though it's not pain directly, pressure is another area of stress within the back and other body muscles. A leg pillow can help reduce this excess stress, even if you aren't aware it's developed. 

To reduce stress, pain, and increase body health, a leg pillow is a great addition to your sleeping routine. Consider adding one today and browse at ContourLiving.com.

Can a Knee Pillow Help Back Pain?

For years folks have been talking about using knee pillows to help with all types of back issues. That, even though the support isn't directly located on the painful area (the lower back), a pillow can bring on all levels of relief. The reasoning behind this claim, however, is solid, no matter how unrelated the actual treatment might sound. Here's why:

When we experience lower back pain, it's often caused by a secondary issue – a part of the body that's acting up and putting strain elsewhere. Likely hips, knees, etc. that's moving pressure up into the back. Nerves can be touchy and send pain signals, or sciatic areas can be making up for other areas that are failing to do their intended job. But no matter the cause, lower backs are one of the most common areas to experience pain. It's a center hub for functions, and takes a brunt of our daily tasks, even when that means we're sleeping.

However, by providing better alignment and reducing those same pressure points, back pain can be eliminated all on its own. Like with a knee pillow that's designed to keep the spine steady, reduce gravity on the hips, and promote blood and oxygen circulation. The pillow can also keep pressure from setting in on the lower back, which can cause pain round-the-clock, not just while lying down. 

Whether or not your knees and their alignment are the culprit, using a knee pillow will allow you to obtain better spine health through virtually any sleeping position. In fact, regular back pain patients often feel immediate relief when sleeping with this type of pillow.

Praise for The Contour Leg Pillow

The Contour Leg Pillow can do wonders, a fact we’ve been spreading for years. But don’t just take it from us. Hear from this real-life leg pillow user, Donnie, and how its unique shape and sturdy design was able to revolutionize the way she sleeps. Having used it for more than a year, she said it has not only helped cure her Restless Leg Syndrome, but allowed for comfortable nights of sleep since day one. According to Donnie, the Contour Leg Pillow was able to remove pressure within her legs that caused strains and pains. Additionally, the pillow was able to remove pressure on her lower back. All around, it added up for a win-win situation, she said.   

But what is it that makes this pillow so special? By shaping directly to the legs and/or knees, users are able to gain some much needed support by keeping their spine (and hips and lower back) in place. Even through various sleeping positions caused by tossing and turning throughout the night. The added cushion can also provide comfort while allowing the legs to receive proper circulation. 

Luckily, Donnie isn’t the only one with access to the crowd-favorite Contour Leg Pillow (or the only one gaining better sleep because of it). Order yours to receive the same types of pain relief and sleep comfort each and every day. Whether you too suffer from Restless Leg Syndrome, or are just looking for a better, easier way to rest comfortably each night. 

You can even receive a discount when buying two or more Contour Leg Pillows. A great excuse to buy them for the whole family – pass them out as birthday gifts or keep extras on hand for your next vacation.

Multitask your Pillow with the Butterfly Leg Pillow

Spines have been supported and made pain free with Contour products for years. One of our favorites (and best sellers), the Contour Leg Pillow, has been providing leg and back comfort since its debut. Now, however, its cousin has a chance at offering the same levels of relief to all ages of users. Not only does it come with the same shape that cradles and lifts the legs into place, the Butterfly Leg Pillow is far more versatile. Sleep with it between your legs, then split the pillow open to host feet or calves after waking up. Plus, it comes with a massage feature so it can gently soothe muscles back to health.

Named for its ability to “butterfly” into an array of shapes with a unique hinge design (but without uncomfortable hardware), this pillow is perfect for sore or achy muscles. Whether just offering them support, or a soothing massage that coaxes blood flow back into sore areas. Use it at night, pack it along for your next vacation, or keep it on hand for whenever your back pain starts to flare up. 

The pillow also comes with:

          • Easy massage function that turns on and off with the flip of a switch
          • Thigh cradling abilities (great for pregnant ladies who are carrying extra, yet uneven weight).
          • Proper lower body alignment features.
          • The ease of providing relief and added blood flow to tired feet or legs.

The Butterfly Leg Pillow offers users three functions in a single device, cutting down the need for multiple (and expensive) pillows and extra storage. It’s even on sale, coming with free shipping when shoppers buy two or more.

Benefits of the Contour Leg Pillow

Necks, heads, and feet are often home to a soft, fluffy pillow. Whether sleeping, traveling, or just looking for some extra support, these pillows come ready-made and with all types of materials in tow. You can even choose different colors or levels of softness, so you’re sure to have the perfect comfort level in any location.

But what about the legs? With all of these specialized pillows, few seem to remember that legs need just as much support as the other guys. After all, they’re the gateway to back support; leg pillows can provide some much needed pain relief, as well as making for a more comfortable night’s sleep.

It’s time to stop overlook the leg pillow and see just what it has to offer.

With its rounded mold and ability to form to each individual’s unique body shape, the pillow acts as a customized sleeping tool. Simply place it between your upper or lower legs to achieve leg, back, knee, and hip support throughout the night. You can even use it while watching TV or sitting at a desk for added comfort. And since it’s made with memory foam, the more you use it, the better it will fit your specific mold.

The Contour Leg Pillow is ideal for anyone who has backpains, regularly sleeps on their side, or is just looking for a little extrasleeping support. All ages can take comfort in knowing that their bodies have gained a little extra overnight support. Thanks to its shaped design and ability to mold, the Contour Leg Pillow is great for virtually any shape and size.

With the Contour Leg Pillow you can:

·      Reduce back pressure

·      Increase leg and back comfort levels, as well as the hips and knees

·      Comfortably sleep on your side or back

·      Achieve natural alignment

·      Help alleviate sore muscles and pain

·      Create a one-of-a-kind, customized fitting pillow

The pillow also comes with a removable pillowcase, so you can be sure to keep it clean at all times. And for hot sleepers, there’s even a “cool” leg pillow to pull body heat and cool while providing the same legsupporting results.

For support without the fuss, remember that legs need a pillow too. To learn more or order yours today, head to our products page.
