Knee pads

What is a knee pillow good for?

A knee pillow is designed to provide comfort and support to the knees during activities that involve prolonged kneeling, such as gardening. It protects the knees from hard surfaces and minimizes pressure points, reducing discomfort and potential knee injuries. Of course, it also prevents clothing from getting dirty and damp.

What are the best knee pillows?

The best knee pillows are usually made of durable materials that provide comfort and support. Here are some features to look for when choosing a knee pillow:

• Thickness and density: An ideal knee pillow has a good thickness and density to provide sufficient cushioning.
• Water resistance: Knee pads that are water-repellent can better cope with humid conditions in the garden.
• Material: Choose durable and easy to clean materials, such as wool or tweed. Wool and tweed are dirt-repellent and if they do get dirty, dry and beat out.
• Handle: Some knee cushions have a handle so that the knee cushion can be hung up and is easy to carry.

How to use a knee pillow?

Place the knee pad on the floor on a flat surface before kneeling.
Kneel on the cushion with your knees resting on the soft surface.
Distribute your weight evenly across both knees to minimize pressure points.
Use the knee pad for gardening activities such as planting, weeding or harvesting.
When you are done, carefully stand up and store the knee pillow in a dry place.
Using a knee pillow properly can make gardening more comfortable and reduce the strain on your knees.
