DMI Ortho Bed Wedge 10x20x24, Blue
DMI® Ortho Bed Wedge Leg Elevation Cushion in Blue (10" x 20" x 24")
10-Inch Therapeutic Leg Elevation, Supportive Durable Foam Core, Lumbar & Knee Pressure Relief, Circulation Enhancement, and Machine-Washable Blue Cover
Managing lower back pain, leg swelling, or post-surgical lower extremity recovery requires continuous, anatomically correct elevation. Standard pillows shift and compress overnight, causing pelvic tilt and spinal misalignment. The DMI® Ortho Bed Wedge Cushion by Briggs Healthcare is specifically engineered to elevate legs and feet at a stable, therapeutic angle that relieves stress on the lower back and knees.
Measuring 10" high, 20" wide, and 24" deep, this gently sloped orthopedic wedge offers higher lift than standard 6-inch cushions, making it ideal for users requiring elevated leg positioning. Its supportive foam core holds its shape night after night to promote venous return, reduce swelling from varicose veins or phlebitis, and alleviate restless leg discomfort. Complete with a removable, machine-washable blue poly-cotton cover, it delivers clean, consistent orthopedic support.
Key Performance Features & Benefit Highlights
- 10-Inch Increased Elevation Lift: Elevated 10-inch height profile provides greater leg lift than standard 6-inch wedges for enhanced fluid drainage.
- Lumbar & Spinal Decompression: Lifting the legs flattens the lumbar curve to relieve pressure on lower back nerves, hips, and knees.
- Circulation & Edema Relief: Elevates feet above heart level to encourage venous blood return and reduce lower extremity swelling.
- Durable Shape-Retaining Foam Core: Medical-grade foam construction maintains structural firmness without collapsing under body weight.
- Post-Op & Chronic Care Support: Ideal for knee, leg, or foot surgery recovery, as well as varicose veins, phlebitis, and restless legs syndrome.
- Removable Machine-Washable Cover: Blue zippered poly-cotton cover unzips easily for simple, hygienic laundering.
- 100% FSA / HSA Eligible: Qualified orthopedic positioning accessory eligible for pre-tax Flexible Spending Account and Health Savings Account reimbursement.
Postural & Sleep Therapy Specialist Insight: Elevating the lower legs on a 10-inch wedge tilts the pelvis backward into a neutral position. This immediately takes tension off the lumbar spine and hamstring tendons, making it one of the most effective non-invasive ways to manage lower back discomfort while sleeping.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why choose the 10-inch Ortho Wedge over a 6-inch model?
A: The 10-inch height (555-8071-0124) provides a steeper angle of elevation, which is beneficial for users needing more substantial blood circulation flow or maximum lower back pressure relief.
Q: How does elevating the legs relieve lower back pain?
A: Elevating the lower legs flexes the hips and flattens the lumbar spine against the mattress, reducing the inward arch (lordosis) that often places pressure on lower back nerves.
Q: Is the blue cover removable for washing?
A: Yes. The blue poly-cotton cover features a full-length zipper so you can easily remove it and wash it in a standard washing machine.
