Description
The Heel Pillow is a thick quilted pillow that wraps the heel, foot, and ankle in polyester fill, secured with an adjustable hook and loop closure. It cushions the heel against the mattress in bed or against the footrest in a wheelchair, in a universal size that fits all.
- Thick Quilted Fill – Polyester fill cushions and protects the heel – soft bulk between bone and bed
- Hook and Loop Closure – An adjustable closure keeps the pillow in place – it stays on through turning and repositioning
- Bed and Wheelchair – Made for heels at rest anywhere – mattress, footrest, or recliner
- One Size Fits All – A universal size wraps any adult heel and ankle – no size selection to get wrong
Cushioning That Travels With the Heel
Heel pillows solve a different problem from heel pads on the bed: they attach to the foot, so the protection is still there after the patient is turned, transferred, or wheeled to therapy. This pillow's thick quilted polyester fill wraps the heel, foot, and ankle, reducing the pressure and strain that build up where the heel meets any surface.
The manufacturer describes it for use in bed or in a wheelchair, preventing tissue breakdown while providing soft cushioning and support. The hook and loop closure adjusts the fit, the size is universal, and the pillow corresponds to the manufacturer's Hermell heel pillow design, the same as EMS D6000 in its notes.

Why a Worn Pillow Beats a Pad Under the Heel
Bed-based heel protection only works while the heel stays on it. A pillow that straps to the foot protects during turns, transfers, and wheelchair time, the moments when heels actually get knocked and dragged.
- Protection That Moves – The pillow travels with the foot – coverage survives every repositioning round
- Soft, Thick Cushioning – Quilted fill wraps the whole heel and ankle – not a thin pad under one point
- No Sizing Risk – One universal size with an adjustable closure – order today without measuring anyone
