I’m just wondering if anyone has used a night compression sleeve and what benefits you experienced.

Yep, I added a night time compression to my management several years ago. I got a Mobiderm adjustafit first , then a haddenham comfiwave ( both gauntlet syles) .They most definately help reduce swelling and soften fibrosis while i sleep. I didn't use them much when i first got them, but now my lymphoedmea ( 16 yrs) is older and getting firmer- it is essential to use at least a few times a week . The mobiderm does soften it more, but the comfiwave is more comfortable, so i swap between the two depending on how my arm feels .

Hi GorgyS, I use a night compression garment, the Comfiwave sleeve from Haddenham Healthcare and have found it to be an effective way to continue compression in a gentle way throughout the night. It's easy to put on and quite comfortable so it doesn't disrupt my sleep. Hope this helps :)
