1. A knee cushion for use between a user's legs as the user places one leg over the other during a side-sleeping position, the cushion comprising:
a first region having a width configured to extend across a thigh, a thickness configured to extend between the thighs and a compressibility suitable for contacting lower thighs of a user to provide spacing of the legs during use when a weight of one leg rests on another leg during said side-sleeping position; a second region substantially continuously tapering from the first region and having a width reduced with respect to the width of the first region for extending across medial epicondyle bones of knees of the user, a thickness reduced with respect to the thickness of the first region and a compressibility suitable for contacting and supporting medial epicondyle bones of knees of the user to prevent discomforting contact pressure at the medial epicondyle bones to maintain a desired spacing and alignment, said second region being shaped and said compressibility being suitable to prevent a displacement of a knee cap of the user by the cushion during use as said second region is compressed and deformed by one epicondyle bone pressing against the other as a result of a weight of one leg resting on another leg during said side-sleeping position; and an attachment strap to attach the cushion to one lower thigh of the user for maintaining the first compressible region and the second compressible region in position so that the second compressible region does not press against a knee cap of the user as the cushion is compressed by the weight of one leg on top of the other during said side-sleeping position. |
