How to Choose the Right Compression Level for You

Choosing the right compression level can feel overwhelming with all the options available. But don't worry—we're here to break it down in simple terms so you can find the perfect match for your needs.

Understanding Compression Levels

Compression is measured in millimeters of mercury (mmHg), which indicates the amount of pressure the socks apply. Here's a quick guide:

Light Compression (8-15 mmHg)

Perfect for everyday wear, light compression is ideal if you're new to compression socks or want gentle support during travel, light activity, or daily tasks.

Moderate Compression (15-20 mmHg)

This is our most popular level! Moderate compression provides noticeable support for those who stand or sit for extended periods. It's great for:

• Daily wear at work
• Long flights or car rides
• Minor swelling and discomfort

Firm Compression (20-30 mmHg)

Firm compression offers stronger support and is often recommended for more significant concerns. If you're considering this level, it's a good idea to chat with your healthcare provider first.

How to Know What's Right for You

Consider your daily activities: If you're on your feet all day, moderate compression often provides the ideal balance of support and comfort.

Think about your goals: Looking for general comfort and energy? Light to moderate compression is usually perfect. Dealing with more persistent swelling? You might benefit from moderate to firm.

Comfort matters: The best compression socks are the ones you'll actually wear! Start with a comfortable level and adjust as needed.

Our Recommendation

For most of our customers, we recommend starting with moderate compression (15-20 mmHg). It provides effective support while remaining comfortable enough for all-day wear.

Remember, everyone is different. Don't be afraid to try different levels to find what works best for you!
