DIY Leg Elevation Pillow: A Step-by-Step Guide

Key Takeaways

How to Make a Leg Elevation Pillow

Materials You’ll Need

To make your DIY leg elevation pillow, gather the following:

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Measure and Cut Foam: Ensure the foam is long enough to support your calves and wide enough for comfort.
  2. Shape the Foam: Cut it into a wedge shape with a slight incline, which is optimal for leg elevation.
  3. Create a Cover: Cut fabric to fit the foam, leaving extra material for seams.
  4. Sew or Glue the Cover: Stitch or glue the edges, leaving one side open to insert the foam.
  5. Assemble and Test: Place the foam inside the cover, seal the opening, and test for comfort.

When paired with a Puffy Lux Mattress, the supportive foundation enhances the effectiveness of your DIY pillow, ensuring total comfort for restful nights.
