Overnight Foot Wrap – a set angle that holds from bedtime through to morning

A padded shell that covers the foot and lower leg and keeps the ankle at the angle you choose. Three fasteners handle the angle and the tension, and the front stays open so nothing sits over the toes. It measures 37 x 23 cm and stays light on the bed.

Why pick an adjustable overnight wrap?

Anything you wear for eight hours has to be comfortable before it is anything else. Spreading the hold across a broad shell rather than a narrow band is what makes that possible here. Set the angle on the first night and move it a notch at a time after that.

• Three fasteners: angle and tension are set separately, in small increments.
• Open front: the toes stay uncovered and free all night.
• Steel-plated shell: reinforcement keeps the angle from drifting while you sleep.
• Vented panels: perforations let heat escape from under the covers.
• Padded lining: a soft inner face against the skin, with no rubbing at the edges.

On at the end of the evening, off with the alarm.

Sit on the edge of the bed, settle the heel into the base of the shell and close the ankle strap first. Keep the angle mild for the first few nights and build the tension gradually. In the morning, loosen the straps one by one rather than pulling the whole thing off.
