Test result preview
As part of our product test, we took a closer look at the ergonomic vein cushion from Well B4 . This cushion was developed to provide relaxation and comfort by elevating the legs. It relieves pressure on the knees and spine and promotes healthy blood circulation, especially after long working days or if you have circulatory problems. The ergonomic shape of the cushion, which is modelled on the natural contours of the legs, provides effective support and helps to compensate for a hollow back. In the test, the cushion impressed with its even pressure distribution, which provides optimum relief for both knees and spine. The soft polyester cover feels pleasant on the skin and can be easily removed with a zip and washed at 40°C. This makes the pillow particularly easy to care for. This makes the cushion particularly easy to care for and hygienic. Overall, the Well B4 ergonomic vein cushion offers a comfortable and practical solution for relieving pressure on the legs and is therefore highly recommended.
Advantages
- High comfort
- Optimum relief
- Pleasantly soft material
- Cover washable at 40 degrees

The packaging generally makes a good impression. It is shipped in a sturdy cardboard box made entirely from recyclable materials . Despite the use of plastic, which is necessary to adequately protect the hygienic product, unnecessary packaging waste has been avoided. This contributes to waste avoidance and reduces unnecessary packaging material. The packaging contains the cushion in perfect condition and complete. The clear and simple handling of the cushion makes additional instructions for use superfluous.

On the Amazon platform, consumers rate the product with an average of 4.6 stars. In individual cases, there are criticisms that it is perceived as too narrow and that the cover fluffs too quickly. On the other hand, the good workmanship and high quality are emphasised positively. In our practical test, we were able to confirm that the cushion offers an optimum mix of stability and comfort and effectively supports leg recovery. Lint formation could not be confirmed even after washing the cover several times.
