Why It's Better
Until now the only way to elevate your legs and knees has been to use large slabs of foam rubber, or chunky foam pyramids and crude, up-ended shapes. (We know better than most. At one time, we manufactured wedges such as these at the special request of a major catalog company). They are heavy, inconvenient – and most serious of all, they potentially are harmful to your back and other joints.
Working A Lot for A Little Comfort
Foam slabs and wedges are a pain. When you want to change position, or alter the height of the support beneath your knees and legs you must:
- slide down
- somehow swing your legs off the slab
- scoot across and over
- then, stand up
- physically move the foam.
But, you’re not done yet. After all the up-and-down, you must inch the foam slab along until you find the proper elevation for your legs… that is, until your next position change. Now, after all of that -- you can go back to resting!
One Position Means No Choices
When using, a foam slab or pillows, being comfortable in one position for say, reading a book, doesn't necessarily translate to your legs being comfortably supported when you’re:
- watching television, or resting, or reading a newspaper, or a different task altogether such as using your laptop or even a hobby like knitting.
- Each and every different thing you do requires a unique level of support under your knees and legs. To change position on a foam slab or pillow means you must begin the whole rearranging and positioning process all over again!
- And we haven’t even considered the firmness or softness of support that you need. With slabs and pillows you get what they give you in firmness. You have no ability to adjust the level of support and comfort which you require and prefer.
What about Pilows?
Unfortunately, you’re not really any better off if you’re using pillows to prop yourself up. Here’s the situation: each time you change position, every time you get up you must “rebuild” your pillow support stack – every time you get up. And it is at least double the time consuming inconvenience if you’re using pillows piled up to support your back, shoulders, and neck. (See our BedLounge for an elegant solution). All of this effort twisting, turning, scooting, getting up and down – ironically, to give yourself a measure of comfort.
Enter The LegLounger : Multiple Ranges of Lounging Comfort -- All At Your Fingertips
The LegLounger works on an entirely different principle. It takes over 3 feet of soft, contoured lounging surface and wraps it around a teardrop shaped internal framework. The LegLounger functions like a soft wheel or cam, you rotate it beneath your legs, knees, ankles and feet. And as you do it changes height –instantly.
You control the height, you control the firmness. All adjustments are at your fingertips – no need to get up, no need to twist and scoot. Just exceptional comfort and support, exactingly delivered to your preferred needs, with a simple motion of LegLounger’s soft upholstered handles.
More Than Just Comfort – Enjoy the Healthful Aspects of the LegLounger
Soft, contoured surfaces help give the LegLounger its extraordinary comfort, and, importantly reduce hard spots and pressure points that are all too common in other products. These pressure points can reduce circulation, causing unnecessary pain and discomfort.
Height and Firmness -- at Your Fingertips
The beauty of the LegLounger is that you can change the height settings and the firmness or softness without the need to get up. Built into the LegLounger elliptical shape are soft, easy to hold, ergonomic handles. Just reach forward to grip the handles and rotate the LegLounger to the elevation that you desire. To change the firmness setting you simply turn the knob and the internal air-lifter inflates or deflate to your comfort level.
Helps to Relieve Lower Leg Swelling
The LegLounger accommodates mild elevation of the legs by rotating it to its lower height levels. This, in many cases, may help relieve lower leg swelling, also know medically as edema.
For Back Problems
The LegLounger, because of its full range of adjustability, helps you better maintain a natural, unstrained back posture when sitting, lounging or resting. It does this particularly well when you are sitting with your knees up, supported by the LegLounger. Changing postions and shifting to other tasks is considerably more “back safe” when compared to bulky foam wedges.
Healthful, Uplifting Aspects of Using The LegLounger
- With its high degree of adjustability in positioning and support, the LegLounger helps provide maximum sustained leg and knee comfort while resting, sitting, lounging, or just relaxing.
- Your LegLounger may help relieve lower leg swelling (known as edema) when using its low range comfort elevation.
- In the case of back problems it’s an easy way to keep your back posture flat when you’re lying down with your knees up.
