Knee cushions

What is a knee cushion good for?

A knee cushion 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.

What are the best knee cushions?

The best knee cushions are usually made from durable materials that provide comfort and support:

• Thickness and density: an ideal knee cushion has a good thickness and density to provide sufficient cushioning.
• Water resistance: knee cushions that are water-repellent can better handle moist conditions in the garden.
• Material: choose durable and easy-to-clean materials such as wool or tweed — dirt-repellent, and if it does get dirty: dry and shake out.
• Handle: some knee cushions have a handle so that the cushion can be hung up and easily taken along.

How should you use a knee cushion?

Place the knee cushion on a flat surface before you kneel. Kneel on the cushion with your knees resting on the soft surface and distribute your weight evenly over both knees to minimize pressure points.
