Questions & Answers
They're only available in sets of two. Very cushioned and relaxing.
It has a lot of cushioning and is very soft.
Two heel protectors were included in my package.
Yes, these are true. Assist with sores and blisters caused by sheets rubbing against the heels. I had the same issue and relied on these booties for relief. When you move around in bed, the booties have a habit of slipping off your foot. To make the bottie a little tighter, I sometimes used medical tape (avoid attaching the tape to the skin to avoid more skin problems).

I am a 36-year-old nurse who has tried dozens of medical supply heel protectors on my patients. None of them come close to this brand's soft, comfortable, and light padding. weight. The material is both long-lasting and comfortable to hold. It's simple to put them on and remove them. I have severe plantar fasciitis that flares up now and then, and I'm in excruciating pain if my heels even brush against the bed. These heel protectors have allowed me to sleep through the night without experiencing sharp shooting pains in my heels. They come highly recommended from both a personal and professional standpoint.
I don't like downgrading products unless they're truly terrible, so this was a difficult decision for me to make. The item is well-made and of high quality. It is very soft and washes well. When I first received these, I thought they would be fantastic. When it comes to using them, the issue arises. My elderly mother's heels need to be protected from bed sores because she spends so much of her day in bed. However, these are fantastic in terms of comfort. They're so fluffy and bulky that if she tries to roll over or move in the bed at all, they'll tangle in the sheets. They had turned sideways or pulled almost off after a couple of hours. It's a well-made item, but it's not up to par in terms of performance. I recommend these if you sleep on your back, don't use any covers, and don't change positions. They aren't useful if they aren't.
My right heel was infected with a pressure sore. No matter how many different items I bought to help, none of them worked. These are fantastic, as I discovered when I tried them. My heel has completely recovered! I've been wearing them (on and off) for a while now. The only negative aspect is the velcro. On the first day, the velcro came undone. They need to be sewn on. Because they're so comfortable, I'm going to buy another pair.
To avoid irritation and blisters, I've had to use ointment or Vaseline on my heels. br>Until it happened to me, I would never have guessed that being in bed could and does cause so many problems for someone who is older or has health problems like mine. br>If you have a loved one who spends a lot of time, if not all of their time, in bed, PLEASE get them a pair of these. After they've tried them, they'll thank you. br>I've been in pain for years and would wake up in the middle of the night, so these are among my favorite medical supplies. They're soft, comfortable, and incredibly affordable, and they've completely transformed my sleep. There will be no more ointments that are unnecessary or messy. Comfortable, soft, and a good fit for all types of feet.
Although, after 7 years of paralysis, the severity of my bilateral foot drop could be a major contributor to this minor issue. Aside from that, the protectors are very comfortable to wear. thick. They've consistently done a better job (than any other protectors I've previously purchased) of keeping me from waking up several times a night with excruciating excoriated pain sensations in my heels, which I've had for the past couple of years. Unlike foam protectors, which stick to the sheet, they are covered in a material that allows them to slide down the sheet easily.
I've tried everything to give my heels some cushioning at night, but nothing has worked until now. I have to sleep on my back and don't move during the night. My heels would begin to burn, and the pain would worsen as the night progressed. Due to my heel pain, I haven't slept well in years. br>br>The thickness of fuzzy sleep socks is insufficient. I also tried putting foam pads in the socks' heels, but that didn't work. After that, these appeared in one of my searches. I decided to give them a shot after reading product reviews. I'm glad I took the chance. br>br>These bulky little heel cushions are so light that you hardly notice they're there. The bed's covers are elevated, so the extra height and bulkiness aren't an issue. I still wear my fuzzy socks and simply slip them into these to sleep in comfort. br>br>I travel frequently and bring them with me. Because they're so light, they're ideal for travel. They don't add any weight to the suitcase and can easily be scrunched in.
According to the reviews, these don't always provide the best performance. However, as someone who had recently undergone knee replacement surgery, all I needed to do was get my heels up off the bed to avoid blisters. These heel protectors worked wonders for me, and my heels improved dramatically in a short period of time. Even after my heels improved, I used these until I couldn't stay in bed all day anymore. For me, these were a relatively low-cost solution to a serious issue.
These are similar to mini down comforters for your feet. They are extremely soft and comfortable. They were purchased for my 99-year-old mother, who was suffering from bed sores on her heels while in bed. We're overjoyed that she's no longer suffering from bed sores. br>I'm only giving them four stars because they're quite large and can keep your feet warm at night. Winter is going to be fantastic! They are well-made and do not fall off- She's a small woman. With a size 8 foot, I'm also well-boned. I first bought the egg crate ones, which broke down in less than a month. br>To see how fluffy they are, look at the picture.
