Sleep is supposed to be restful, so it’s extra frustrating when back, hip and leg pain stop you from really relaxing. Luckily, we spotted a reviewer-loved memory foam sciatica relief pillow that will put aches and pains to bed. If that’s not dreamy enough, it’s currently 32% off, the lowest price it’s been all year.
Deemed “the best money I’ve ever spent” and a “little miracle worker,” this versatile pillow will earn its place in your bedroom. Just asked one reviewer who jokes she loves it so much, her husband is jealous. Users who used to have hip pain credit the pillow for making their previous aches and pains “a thing of the past,” while others say that thanks to the pillow, they no longer wake up with a sore back, numb legs, or aching joints.
Designed in an hourglass figure with an included strap, the pillow fits between your knees to keep your body aligned as you snooze, reducing pressure and strain through your lower half. According to Beth Terranova, a physical therapist at New York City’s Strength and Spine, this is because, when you’re sleeping, the position of your knees affects the position of your hip, pelvis and spine.
“Keeping your hips stacked helps to not rotate your spine, which can become uncomfortable after sleeping in a rotated position for a while,” Terranova previously told HuffPost.
Don’t sleep on your side? Not to fret.
The pillow is used and loved by all sorts of sleepers. Tuck it between your knees or use it to support your thighs, calves or ankles. Sleep on your stomach with one leg out? It can help support your hip. Plus, it’s great for those transitioning to side sleeping, encouraging you to stay on your side through the night comfortably.
The pillow is made from responsive foam that fits your body but keeps its shape and is intended to be breathable, so it won’t get hot or sweaty under the covers. According to the brand, the “dual concave” design cradles both legs, making it easier to stay in place, even if you move when you sleep.
The removable strap is there for extra security, to ensure your spine stays aligned, though many sleepers say they don’t use the strap at all. It also comes with a soft, machine-washable cover, so you can make sure it never gets too funky, even with consistent use.
Reviewers who have tried everything say this little thing finally brought them relief. “I slept all night, and woke up without ANY hip pain,” Annmarie C wrote.
Don’t sleep on this pain-relieving pillow for easing all sorts of aches. Read more 5-star reviews and grab one for yourself while it’s still on sale.
“This should really get a 10 star review. I bought this because of some hip pain. Holding out to see the doctor, I decided to buy it. This and one other had the highest reviews all over the internet. I chose this one because of the strap. After my first use of this knee pillow, I can’t believe how well it worked! It was comfortable to sleep with, I slept all night, and woke up without ANY hip pain. I’m a petite person and not overweight; this pillow was the perfect size. It provided the perfect support, not too soft or too firm. Ever since memory foam became a household name, it’s the only products I’ll buy for sleep support. This is the one!” — Annmarie C
“I’ve been dealing with lower back and hip pain for years, and this pillow has made a huge difference in my sleep quality. The memory foam is soft yet supportive, and the adjustable strap keeps it perfectly in place all night. I no longer wake up with numb legs or aching joints. It’s especially great for side sleepers like me who need proper alignment. The fact that it’s FSA/HSA eligible is a nice bonus. Highly recommend for anyone struggling with sciatica, hip discomfort, or just looking to improve their sleep posture!” — mommytosma
“I will start by saying the first few nights were not the best because I needed to get used to having a pillow between my knees. Once I got used to the feeling, I was able to appreciate the RELIEF! My back felt better in the morning and I stayed on one side rather than tossing and turning all night. My hips felt great when I got out of the bed in the morning! To get out of bed and feel the relief of the constant pain I was feeling in my lower back and hips was incredible. The memory foam is great. This is my new sleeping buddy and my husband is jealous!” — Arnae

A podiatrist-approved foot stretcher for plantar fasciitis
Podiatrist Louis J. DeCaro previously told HuffPost that when it comes to managing plantar fasciitis pain, “the best a [person] can really do is stretch the posterior column which runs from the hamstring down to the calf, to the Achilles and through the bottom of the foot to connect to the plantar fascia.”
DeCaro teaches his patients heel inversion stretches, which he said should be done “prior to all activities that involve running or long walks and should be done with the foot as neutral as possible.”
Although you don’t need a device for the heel inversion or posterior column stretches that DeCaro refers to, many Amazon reviewers claim that this rocking foot stretcher has made “a world of difference” in treating their plantar fasciitis pain. The rocker design holds the foot in the optimal position for an accurate and efficient stretch and has slip-resistant pads to keep the stretcher in place while in use.
Promising review: “I recently developed plantar fasciitis and it was causing me all kinds of pain in my knee, heel and ankle. Using this device before and after my runs made a world of difference. [The] pain is subsiding and I’m able to continue training. Such a great device for a hard-to-stretch area – highly recommend.” — Bels

A very versatile and unique gel pack
The Magic Gel pad holds a removable gel pack, which can be frozen or microwaved and worn in a variety of ways to target pain. The bulk-free gel packs use a very thick viscosity gel that manages to stay flexible, even when frozen, so it easily conforms around the contours of the body to offer the best contact and temperature relief possible. The unique gel takes as little as one and a half hours to freeze and retains cold for up to 20 minutes of pain relief, though reviewers claim that it lasts for much longer. Other reviewers appreciate the slight compression factor that this pad provides.
Promising review: “Absolutely the best purchase I have made in a long time! I had hip surgery a few weeks back and have had lower back pain for years. I have often tried to tuck an ice pack behind me in my chair or tie it around my waist. This ice belt is The best! It fits perfectly and will adjust to fit most. The ice is very cold, which I love! It stays cold much longer than the 20 minutes you are supposed to leave it on…. If you have pain, do yourself a favor and buy this product! It is magical!” — nik

High support orthotic inserts that help with plantar fasciitis ($2 off)
These highly-rated insoles use a high arch and deep heel cup to offer support and maintain correct foot positioning so that the heel is better protected from impact, a common issue with chronic foot conditions like plantar fascitis. The inserts are available in both men’s and women’s sizing. Hit the coupon for $2 off.
Promising review: “I have flat feet and have always struggled to find comfortable shoes. I often relied on thick-soled running shoes because they were the only options with enough arch support to make extended standing and walking bearable. For the first time, a pair of shoes I really liked had worn-out insoles, so I needed replacements. I found these highly rated on Amazon and decided to give them a try. Using them for the first time was life-changing. I had never experienced such comfort and support before, and I realized that my lifelong issue was unsupportive insoles. I used to suffer from severe foot pain whenever I wore flat-soled sneakers or dress shoes for any length of time. Now, I’ve bought a set of these insoles for every pair of shoes I own, and they’re all incredibly comfortable—I can stand and walk in them for hours! I can’t imagine wearing a pair of shoes without these insoles and when the time comes to get new shoes, I’ll surely be swapping these in immediately!” — Dayv B

An acupressure mat and pillow set
This mat and pillow set may seem intimidating, however an overwhelming number of reviewers swear by this accupressure tool to provide pain relief. Its cushioned surface is covered with over 10,000 hard plastic spikes that, though, are not a complete substitute for acupuncture, are meant to improve circulation and help relax muscles. The mat is available in both large (about 16 by 26 inches) and extra large (about 19 by 51 inches) sizes.
Promising review: “I cannot express enough how much I am in love with this accupressure mat!!!! Yes, it hurts at first for the first few minutes…. but chances are you got this because you have pain anyways….why not grimace for another few minutes to experience the relaxing, pain relieving result while you lay on it and after!! My friend recommended this to me because of my horrible back pains and back diagnoses. I had no clue what I was in for. I did almost want to give up when first laying on it because it does really hurt at first, but then my minute 2-4, it just kinda becomes warm and relaxing. Last time my back went out, it was for 3 months. I was basically bed-ridden. I wish I had had this mat back then. However, since then, I have had those moments where I felt like it was going to go out, I put on a full body meditation channel on youtube, relax myself, lay on the mat for all of 10 minutes (you can go longer), and I am back to feeling better and pain free. It is my understanding you will gain even greater health benefits if you can make this part of your daily routine, but I can vouch how incredible it is even if you just do it when needed because of an onset of pain. Please, do yourself a favor and get this. Research though, there are different levels and and numbers of spikes. I bought a different kind with a less spikey feel, and I will occasionally use that one for the lower half of my body, because for my pain relief I have learned I need the extra spikey feel to get down to my nerves, tissues and muscles I guess. Neck pillow on this one is too much for my neck, but I learned you can put a thin cloth, like slide a thin pillowcase over it and then I am able to use the neck pillow. Love love love this… it has saved me on multiple occasions!!!!” — Storm

A pair of copper-infused compression gloves
The idea behind compression gloves is that they can improve circulation, reduce swelling and restrict the build-up of excess fluid, which may cause aching and soreness in joints. These fingerless and machine-washable gloves are infused with copper the company claims will reduce inflammation, however, the evidence supporting that particular claim is limited.
Promising reviews: “Life changing. I wear these gloves every night and they have helped tremendously with the pain in my hands. They do not compress too much, are very lightweight and I can even wear them when I’m typing. I’m ordering a second pair soon so I’m never without them!” — Rosa
“In the past several months, I have had severe swelling in my feet, arms and knees. Because of a diagnosis of arthritis, I purchased these to help me sleep and they have completely worked. I used to wake up throughout the night in pain from my fingers and in the morning, they were extremely painful. Once I started wearing these at night, I slept through the night and my hands worked and felt great in the morning. I had tried other brands of gloves which didn’t help as much and were hot to wear (I live in the south where it gets rather warm). These are thin and NOT hot to wear. I would definitely recommend trying them. I’ve always worn medium gloves but I had to get a Large in these. I’m sure it’s because of the swelling.” — CDW
