Frequently asked questions
What does it actually do?
It keeps your body in a steady position, and that single purpose works in more than one place: at your back for side-lying, beneath your knees or ankles for a slight lift of the legs, and as a firm bolster when you rest in bed. Because the triangle is firm, it holds the position you pick instead of shaping itself to you.
What are its dimensions?
50 × 25 × 15 cm (19.7" × 9.8" × 5.9"): roughly the length of a forearm and the height of a rolled bath towel. That is large enough to stop you turning over and small enough to leave the remainder of the bed free.
Is the core memory foam?
No, and that is on purpose. The core is a firm foam that does not squash easily, since a positioning wedge needs to resist you, not shape itself to you. Memory foam would yield bit by bit during the night and you would roll.
Does it work for raising the legs as well?
Yes. Under the knees or ankles it lifts the legs slightly and supports them firmly while you rest. For a higher lift that you use every night, the CalmEden Buoy™ leg wedge is made for that job.
