Cured terrible sciatica pain and leg cramps
By Raven R. on Reviewed in the United States on January 15, 2025
UPDATE: We have gone FIVE MONTHS without spasms or pain. This has quite literally changed my spouses life. The release of pressure has allowed for healing, and he has been able to play with the kids and be more active resulting in weight loss and better quality of life. A prayer has been answered here. It has not lost firmness and everything has held up well. If this works for you as it did for us.. it could be life changing. ORIGINAL REVIEW: I am sharing our story because I didn’t see many reviews specific to the purpose we bought it for. This was bought for someone who is 6ft, 230 lbs, and 32 years old. He has had sciatica issues for about two years now with little relief. In the past 6-8 months it actually has gotten worse by causing nocturnal leg cramps… I’m not sure if there’s different intensities of leg cramps but these were crippling, and would come anywhere from 2-6 times a night. This strong man would be brought to his knees in tears as I sat and watched helplessly. It was horrible. The lack of sleep would be hard on him, and the cramps were heartbreakingly bad. We had tried everything, pills, therapy, stretches, heat, cold, anything and everything we were told to do. I got so tired of watching this man in pain and decided to do some research of my own. That’s how we ended up here. I chose this unit in hopes of any amount of relief with no real hope it would do much.. but anything to make him comfier would be worth it. At 28” wide this thing is very capable of holding up such a large person. The foam is firm but that’s what’s needed to hold up someone over 200lbs. This unit is comfortable and fits the large size of our guy. (Side note: I am 5’9 but have insanely long legs, it does fit me differently than it fits him with his average sized legs. If you are 6ft and super leggy you may not be comfortable. Similarly, if you are too short I could see this being a nightmare. For the average American between 5’6 and 6’ I’d say is the sweet spot.) Back to the point of this review. We are 5 nights down without one back spasm or leg cramp! This is something that hasn’t happened in 6+ months! My sleepy pain filled shell of a man is back to being the dad and spouse we love and know! He thinks it’s not only because of the inclined position, but because of the wedge that keeps his feet in an upright position. He now sleeps on this thing all night without so much as a peep. It is really nice that it is zipped together and none of the pieces move out of place on him. It’s also worth mentioning that a king size bed is probably best for cosleeping since this thing is so large. In conclusion, it has provided more relief than expected, can hold a large person, and stays in position all night. If you or someone you love is in pain, it’s worth the try. 250$ sounds expensive.. but I’d have paid that to give even just one night of relief from what was happening, and so far we have 5!

Did what I needed it to, but not the "cure all" I was hoping for
By DQ on Reviewed in the United States on August 23, 2020
Overall I think this is a decent product that probably helps and will help many people--but not everyone. I for one LIKE that is very sturdy foam that is NOT memory foam (memory foam is awful for injuries and pain recovery, IMO). It supports the body while having just enough softness it is nice to lie on. The plush coverlet is nice and soft; I found it pleasing to the touch, and it can be easily covered with a fitted sheet for a different sensation. My FAVORITE thing above all about this set is its modularity--bed support, sitting on the floor support, and the various ways you can use each piece. For this alone I'm keeping the set even if some of it didn't quite work out the way I hoped. The typical-to-foam "new car smell" dissipated quickly, and if someone else found it overwhelming, I expect sitting it outside for a couple hours or giving it a good Febrezing would solve the issue. The PROBLEM I had was that the components all seem just a tad too big for my 5'4" short-armed, short-legged body, in terms of HEIGHT--the angles at which you lie down I just felt a little too sharp, and my legs wouldn't comfortably drape over the whole triangular piece comfortably. And at the same time it wasn't WIDE enough such that my arms fell off the side of the back piece, causing my chest muscles to overstretch. Given I bought this for some back support while a rib injury healed--which had residual effect on the chest and back muscles--this was not helpful. I ended up trying to use the "leg piece" as the one I laid to prop myself up, because the angle is a little less harsh and have been trying other components or my own pillows to put under my legs. It's worked imperfectly, but I have been able to sleep without putting too much weight on the wrong bits and so that has helped with my recovery. The good news is the biggest piece really works terrifically as a "seat back" when sitting on the bed, and it is making it much easier for me to sit where I want while working from home. The foam also gets very hot--and I am the kind of person who likes to be cold when sleeping--this I anticipated, as it's typical to foam, and knew I would have to contend with it. Still, it makes it harder for me to sleep through the night. Still this has helped me recover from an injury (my acid reflux was also acting up which having something to help prop me up has been good for that too). I'll make use of it but I'm disappointed it doesn't quite work as intended for me. I expect what I really need is one of those fancy super adjustable beds that I just can't afford right now; compared to THAT these are a bargain and will help me out at least some.
