The best leg elevation pillows can do wonders for a variety of ailments. While kicking up your feet at the end of the day feels great, these specialized pillows are incredibly useful for post-surgery recovery, easing lower back pain and knee pain, and making sleeping more comfortable. Raising your legs above the rest of your body improves circulation, says Raj Dasgupta, M.D., board-certified sleep medicine physician and assistant program director at the University of Southern California. Your heart fights against gravity to pull oxygen-depleted blood from the veins in your legs, and raising them allows this process to happen much more efficiently. "It’s a big trip to go all the way up there," he explains. Meet the experts: Raj Dasgupta, M.D., board-certified sleep medicine physician and assistant program director at the University of Southern California; Rohit Budhiraja, M.D., pulmonary and sleep specialist at Brigham and Women’s Hospital; Melissa Prestipino, P.T., D.P.T., licensed physical therapist and owner of Maize & Blue Rehab in Sparta, NJ.
