Independent reviews, collected by Feefo — from the people who actually sleep on these pillows every night.
Why does side-sleeping leave you aching?
When you sleep on your side, your top leg slides forward and pulls your hip and lower spine out of line. Held there all night, that twist is what leaves many side-sleepers waking up with knee, hip or lower-back ache.
How does a leg pillow with a hole help?
Resting between your knees, the Original Leg Pillow keeps your knees apart and your hips stacked in line, so your spine stays more neutral through the night. The hole in the centre lets air move between your legs to keep them cool, and an elasticated strap keeps it in place even if you shift around.
Three steps to comfortable side-sleeping
- 1
Place it between your knees
Lie on your side and tuck the pillow between your knees so your legs are gently separated.
- 2
Adjust the firmness
Open the YKK® zip and add or remove filling until the height keeps your hips level.
- 3
Strap it and settle
The elasticated strap holds it in place, and the hole keeps your legs cool as you sleep.

It’s expensive to make things this well. Well sourced materials with nothing hidden in them, made by people paid a proper wage, sewn from scratch here in Liverpool. Look at what else is out there: the rest of the market is made overseas, down to a price. We went the other way and chose quality over price. That’s why nobody else makes them like this.

- Premium YKK® zips
- OEKO-TEX® organic cotton

Leg pillow questions, answered
The coil-fibre version is machine washable — wash at 30°C and tumble dry, the same as the rest of our range. If you’ve chosen the British wool fill, don’t wash it with the wool inside, as wool felts in the machine — remove the filling first, then wash. Full guidance is on our Care Instructions page.
Yes — open the YKK® zip and add or remove filling until the height keeps your hips level and the feel suits you. Take some out for a lower, softer rest between the knees, or add more for firmer support. There’s more guidance on our Care Instructions page.
Lie on your side and place it between your knees so your legs are gently separated and your hips stay level. The elasticated strap keeps it in position if you move in the night.
Many people with sciatica or lower-back ache find that keeping their knees apart and hips aligned makes side-sleeping more comfortable, and lots tell us it helps. It isn’t a medical treatment, though — if you have ongoing pain, it’s worth checking with your doctor or physio.
Many pregnant side-sleepers use a pillow between the knees to take pressure off the hips and lower back. It’s a comfort aid, not medical advice — if you have any concerns, check with your midwife or doctor.
It lets air move between your legs so they stay cooler than against a solid knee pillow, and helps your knees rest without pressure. (It’s also how every pillow in our range earns its name.)
