Description
The Leg Wedge 6 Inch is a polyurethane foam wedge shaped to elevate both legs together, in the navy colorway with a removable washable cover. Raising the legs improves circulation in the lower body, which is how it eases swelling and the ache of varicose veins after a day on the feet.
- Both Legs, One Slope – The 20 x 24 inch top carries both legs – elevation that treats the pair, not one leg at a time
- 6 Inch Rise – Enough height to put the feet above the heart's line – the position circulation advice always describes
- Removable Washable Cover – The cover comes off for washing – a wedge used daily in bed stays presentable
- Navy Colorway – This listing is the navy version – the manufacturer's deepest blue, practical for home and facility use
Elevation That Works While the Legs Rest
Swollen legs are a plumbing problem, and the fix is gravity used in the right direction. This wedge raises the feet and calves on a firm foam slope, improving circulation and blood flow in the lower extremities, which the manufacturer credits with reducing swelling in the feet and legs and easing strain on the back and lower body.
The same elevation relieves pain associated with varicose veins, the classic end-of-day ache for people who stand at work. The wedge is polyurethane foam under a removable, washable cover, sized 20 by 24 inches with a 6 inch rise, and this listing is the navy colorway of the manufacturer's leg wedge.

Why a Wedge Beats Pillows Under the Calves
Pillows under the legs create a hump at the knee and a dip at the ankle, which bends the leg at exactly the wrong places. A foam wedge gives one even slope from thigh to heel, so the whole leg drains uniformly and stays positioned through the night.
- Even, Full-Leg Slope – No knee hump and no ankle dip – the leg rests in one line, the way elevation is supposed to work
- Holds Its Position – A shaped foam wedge stays where it was placed – pillows wander, wedges do not
- Washable Cover – The cover removes for washing – daily elevation gear stays clean
