I've been thinking about getting one of those leg rest pillows, and they cost from $40 to $90. I'm young (early 20's), and I already have a couple of both varicose and spider veins (it runs in the family), and my legs ache a lot. I'm not overweight, and I don't stand for long periods of time. I've tried sleeping with just regular pillows under my feet/legs, but it's uncomfortable and my feet fall off. Should I get on of those leg rests? Does anyone use one and it's helping? If you do, is it worth it, and any recommendations on the brand and type? Anything else I can do to prevent leg pain/veins (not treat)?

You can roll towels up & put masking tape on them & use them on either side of regular bed pillows to keep your legs from falling off. Or try putting blocks under the foot of the bad to raise it up a few inches.

Yes they do.
