The leg support cushion makes a positive impression as soon as it is unpacked. The sturdy cardboard box offers sufficient protection during transport. Although unnecessary packaging waste has been avoided, the use of plastic film could possibly be a point of criticism for some consumers. The product packaging contains a leg support cushion measuring 39×59 cm. A small leaflet with instructions for use in eight languages is also included.

As part of our practical test, we tested the leg support cushion in detail and documented the results using the specified test methods. The ergonomically shaped positioning cush ion offers a high level of comfort and ensures restful use. The soft cover also contributes to a feeling of well-being. Its suitability for allergy sufferers is particularly positive, as no skin reactions were observed during the entire test phase. The viscoelastic mineral foam in the core of the product ensures optimum pressure equalisation, relieves pressure on the legs and lumbar vertebrae and leads to a significant improvement in lying comfort. Thanks to its point elasticity and dimensional stability, there are no unpleasant pressure points even after prolonged use. Cleaning and caring for the leg support cushion is particularly easy as the cover is removable and washable at 60 °C. The inside can be wiped clean with a damp sponge if necessary. This ensures hygienic use and makes the product ideal for everyday use. The skin-friendly materials and high-quality workmanship also contribute to its durability and functionality.

On the Amazon platform, consumers rate the product with an average of 4.6 stars. In individual cases, a colour deviation of the product is criticised. On the other hand, the ergonomic shape, the relieving effect and the excellent price-performance ratio are positively emphasised. We were able to confirm the positive points in our practical test. We did not notice any colour deviations from the product images.
Prices of over €95 are charged on the internet for equivalent products. Very affordable products are available from as little as €23 . The leg support cushion from maxVitalis is therefore currently in the lower price segment with a price of €34.99. For the quality and performance received, the price-performance ratio is very good.
