Frequently asked questions
How does a wedge compare with placing a stack of ordinary pillows beneath my legs?
As ordinary pillows flatten and move, legs can drop from their raised position within an hour. Buoy uses firm 45D foam to maintain its 8-inch height overnight. Its gradual slope distributes weight across the ankles and calves, while a non-slip underside keeps the wedge from moving on the bed.
After a full day standing, can I rest with both legs raised on this wedge?
The 8-inch wedge supports the legs in a resting position higher than the heart. For nightly use over 1–2 weeks, its physical role remains the same: keeping the legs raised on a support rather than making a promise about a particular change.
Can I lie down with my legs raised, rather than flat on the bed?
The wedge provides a resting surface for elevated legs rather than leaving them flat on the bed. Its purpose is physical support in that position, not a promise that every position or angle will suit every person.
What position will my legs have when resting on it?
The wedge is used beneath the legs to hold them in an elevated resting position. That describes its physical use, rather than a promised change to the body. Repeated use does not alter that role: it remains a leg support, not a way to address a condition.
While in bed with a book or the TV, can I use it?
Yes — it provides firm support under raised legs during daytime reading or TV watching. Some users turn it towards the headboard for occasional use behind the back. Although designed primarily to support legs, it can stay in use beyond bedtime.
