Any such thing as this?

I find I sleep so much better on the sofa with my legs up on the arm so between my thighs and stomach, its 90 degrees and the same between under my thighs and my legs, its 90 degrees.

I've been trying to find a 'leg raiser' that is just as high but I'm struggling to find a leg raiser that is of decent height?

Anyone know if there is such thing and where I can get one from please, or even if I can make one myself? Thank you

I have seen a leg raiser at my physiotherapy clinic. I use it when I'm lying on my back for treatments. She may have had it specially made, but I would check with a physiotherapist or possibly a medical supply shop?

Thanks, will contact my physio. I've also just thought, my friend works as a OT so might know as well.

Would a large pillow or blanket rolled up help, I sleep with a folded pillow between my knees if on my side or have it under my knees if on my back. I have done this since I had my hip replacement and it seems to help me stay in a good position and get a better nights sleep.

Let us know how you go on!
