Knee pillows were designed for side sleepers. There are basically three types of sleepers: back sleepers, side sleepers, and stomach sleepers. Of these three types of sleepers, side sleepers have the most trouble with hips and knees not being in proper allignment. No matter which type of sleeper you are, when you are sleeping, your spinal alignment should be the same as when you are sitting or standing in correct posture. Sholders back in a relaxed position, knees slightly bent and approximatly sholder width apart. However, side sleepers have the additional problem of allignment of their hips and knees. Laying on your side, your knees are touching, which pulls on your hips. This can cause you to expierence pain or discomfort in your ankles, knees, hips, and lower back. A knee pillow helps to better allign the hips for more comfort.

I've had dozens of customers tell me that our knee pillows have helped releive back pain. I'm not saying that they will cure anything. But if you are experiencing discomfort due to improper allignment of your hips and legs then a knee pillow could help.

Keep in mind that knee pillows are designed, primarily, for side sleepers. If you are a back sleeper or even a stomach sleeper you may not benefit from a knee pillow.
