any suggestions on how to elevate feet while sleeping on side at night?

i try to put them on pillows but it just doesn't balance right. 

 also, how do you elevate above your waist during the day w/o laying on your back?

After my foot surgery I had to sleep with the one foot elevated and was more comfortable on my side. The only way I could do it was to sleep in our recliner.  I still put a pillow under my foot to elevate it more.  I hope that helps a little.

I've been wondering this myself. My feet are so swollen and the bottom of my feet are so puffy that my toes do not touch the ground!

I keep a rolled up towel between my mattress and boxspring at the foot of my bed.  It provides enough elevation to reduce my foot/leg swelling but not so much that I notice it or become uncomfortable.  Best of all, I don't have to readjust it all the time and it works no matter what position I sleep in.
