Aluga Fakatafatolu Fakaea Vae Buoy™

Buoy places the legs higher than the heart along a gradual 20-degree slope rather than leaving them flat on the mattress. At the end of the day, place it beneath the legs for that raised resting position. This describes the wedge's physical use without promising a particular result.

At 8-inch high, the sloped wedge accommodates both legs and supports them between the ankles and calves without pressing into the backs of the knees. Its firm 45D foundation resists sinking; the gentler upper foam, 35D, follows the legs' contours. Remove the bamboo-cotton cover for washing, while the non-slip underside holds the support steady against the bedding.

Dimensions: 24 x 20 x 8 in, weight 2.3 kg. A wedge for resting both legs in an elevated position rather than lying flat on the mattress.

Unzip the concealed fastening behind the wedge to take off its outer cover. Wash that cover by machine with cold water, a gentle programme and mild detergent without fragrance. Lay it flat to dry naturally; avoid ironing, wringing and tumble drying. Do not wash the memory foam inside. If a mark needs attention, use mild soap on a damp cloth for local cleaning only. Once a month, uncover the core and air it somewhere well ventilated, out of direct sun, which may damage foam. For hygiene, wash its covering at intervals of 2-3 weeks. Between uses, keep the pillow somewhere dry and cool. New foam can have a light odour: before using it for the first time, allow 24-48 hours of airing. If necessary, clean the gripping underside by wiping it using a damp cloth.

Core: Layered memory foam designed to provide a supportive, comfortable resting surface.

• Base Layer: Firm memory foam of high density (45D) supports leg weight without letting the wedge flatten or change shape. The stable foundation maintains the same raised position from bedtime through the night.
• Top Layer: Following the shape of the legs, memory foam of medium density (35D) cushions the calves and ankles while retaining the raised angle. Both layers carry CertiPUR-US certification and contain no harmful chemicals, formaldehyde or heavy metals.

Cover: The hypoallergenic bamboo-cotton fabric combines 60% bamboo viscose with 40% cotton, naturally drawing away moisture and regulating temperature. Its breathable structure limits heat accumulating over longer use, with a soft surface against skin. Visible quilting gives the textured fabric added durability and allows better air movement.

Non-Slip Bottom: Underneath, a textured fabric provides grip against a mattress or sheets, keeping the wedge from shifting and maintaining a steady raised leg position overnight.
