Heel Elevation Leg Pillow
This support pillow is designed to elevate the heels or ankles while resting in bed. The raised shape helps keep the heels lifted away from the mattress, creating a more comfortable resting position.
The pillow can be placed under the ankles to raise the heels or positioned under the knees for additional leg elevation. Its firm foam core provides stable support while the removable polycotton cover allows easy cleaning.
This pillow is suitable for use at home or in care environments where leg elevation may be recommended.

Clinical Research & Evidence
Peer-reviewed studies supporting Heel Lift Pillow | Ankle & Leg Elevation Support Cushion
Head-of-bed elevation using wedge pillow reduced esophageal acid exposure from 21.2% to 15% (29% reduction) in patients with nocturnal GERD
Clinical trial with 20cm wedge pillow (20° angle) showed significant improvement in reflux symptom scores: MD −5.1 (95% CI −7.6 to −2.6) vs control
Head-of-bed elevation could be considered as a cheap and safe alternative to drug interventions with unfavourable safety profiles for relieving gastroesophageal reflux symptoms.
