Leg Spacer

About the leg spacer

The leg spacer sits between your knees when you sleep on your side. It keeps the legs aligned with the spine, so the top hip does not roll forward and twist the lower back.

That alignment takes pressure off the lower back, the hips and the knees. It also helps circulation in the legs, because nothing presses the top knee into the one below it.

Who the leg spacer suits

It suits side sleepers, especially anyone who wakes with a stiff lower back. It also helps during pregnancy, when the hips widen and the lower back carries more weight than usual.

Because the cushion is firm, it holds the knees apart all night instead of collapsing. Back sleepers can use it under the knees, which lifts the legs and eases the same lower back area.

Caring for the cushion

Wipe the surface with a damp cloth and mild soap, then dry it in the shade. Keep the foam out of water and direct sun. A washable cover keeps the cushion fresh between deeper cleans, and it protects the surface from body oils.

Delivery and warranty

Orders leave from Vitafoam showrooms and distributors across the country. We confirm your delivery window at checkout, and the box paperwork states the warranty that applies.

The wedge pillow raises the upper body rather than the legs, and the distributor network can help you find the shape you need. The comfort support range shows the rest. World Sleep Day publishes free guidance on side sleeping at worldsleepday.org.

Because the cushion is firm, it stays in place when you turn over. If your knees press together at night, the width holds them apart. Choose a firm mattress with it, since a soft one lets the hips sink. Check the cushion each month for flattening.
