If you're contemplating one if these for any kind of foot/ankle issue, just do it.
I bought this back in '18 with the intention of training myself to be a back sleeper and reduce wrinkles. But, I never could get used to it and stuck this in the closet and forgot about it. Every now and then a friend would notice it and be like.... ummm.... is there something you're not telling me about? Is this some kind of sex positioning aid? Lol, never have tried it for that. Maybe tho...
Anyways, in '21 I had a lisfranc injury. If you don't know what that is, consider yourself blessed. Legit the worst foot injury possible. Intense swelling and pain. Ice and elevation were my only friends. Day 1 I really struggled to keep a stack of pillows high enough without sliding off. Adding ice and casts and boots, forget it. You have to like keep your leg muscles flexed to stay up, not relaxing. Day 2 I remembered that "sex pillow " lost in my closet. Game changer.
If you have any injury, just get it. Even if you don't think you will need it long and your issue is minor, it's worth it. The pillow battle will get old quick. Even a minor sprained ankle will flare up at times. Even just a long day on your feet, it will feel good. Don't have to use it for sleep, just an hour or 2 with some ice is heaven.
I also have a cradle like one to compare some of the pros and cons.
It's one of the tallest available, so most effective elevation. (Bonus tip, if you're in it for a long haul and are temporarily needing even higher, get one of those foam balance pads and slide it under to add a little extra height. You'll probably like it for PT at some point anyway.) If you're having surgery, you will want serious elevation.
Its wide enough for both legs, unlike the narrower cradle shaped ones. And it's nice not feeling all restrained. If you're creative, you can even figure out laying on your side while keeping your foot elevated.
That being said, there are times where a cradle shape is better. With a heavy cast or boot and a seriously high level of pain, it's nice to be a little more protected. And if you have skinny legs and no cast, you can fit both legs on it, kind of.
The biggest complaint is that the fabric cover is, well, hideous. Ugly and medical looking. Not very soft, very synthetic. It gets stringy and pills up crazy easily. Especially when you have a fiberglass cast rubbing on it. I'm pretty sure a more creative person could make a nice slip cover for it. But I just put a towel over it. It's not a deal-breaker.
The cradle one is not such an embarrassing eyesore, doesn't look hideous if you have it out in the living room. And the cover is crazy soft and seems durable enough.
Overall, if I had to pick just one, I think it would be this one. Every inch of height helps with swelling and pain. And it's just more versatile outside of acute situations. But both are good. And if aesthetics and softness of the cover are super important to you, the other kind might be better. I like having both. Trying to drag one from bedroom to livingroom on crutches is impossible.
