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 possible knee injuries. Of course, it also prevents clothing from becoming 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 good thickness and density to provide adequate 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 become dirty, dry them and tap them out.
• Handle: Some knee pillows have a handle so that the knee pillow can be hung and easy to carry.

How should you use a knee pillow?

Place the knee pillow on the floor on a flat surface before kneeling.
Kneel on the pillow with your knees resting on the soft surface.
Distribute your weight evenly between both knees to minimize pressure points.
Use the knee pillow for gardening tasks such as planting, weeding or harvesting.
When you are done, stand up carefully and store the knee pillow in a dry place.
By using a knee pillow correctly, you can garden more comfortably and reduce the strain on your knees.
