ACE Night Wrist Sleep Support, Adjustable, Blue, Helps Provide Relief from Symptoms of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, and other Wrist Injuries

My husband is a painter and has sore wrists often. He's been working 7 days a week and he noticed that his pain significantly reduced from wearing the guards when he sleeps. As before the guards he would notice the burning in his wrist that would happen after a 5 day work week. That extra support so you don't bend your wrists at night truly made a difference for him. He wears one on each hand but it is definitely worth the investment.

I developed pregnancy-related carpal tunnel syndrome in both hands. I debated between purchasing the ACE Night Wrist Sleep Support (which was recommended in a "best of" list of carpal tunnel arm supports) and the ComfyBrace (because of the large number of reviews (10x as many as for the ACE brace), many of them positive). I went ahead and bought one of each and tried them on both hands. Short story - I think the ACE brace feels like a better quality product and provides more support. It's $2 more expensive, but I would probably buy another ACE brace rather than the ComfyBrace. Both the ComfyBrace and the ACE brace have fundamentally the same design. They both have a sleeve you put your hand through, with thumb holes on each side of the sleeve so that the sleeve can be worn on either hand. The sleeve covers your palm and extends maybe a third of the way up your forearm. There is some padding along the inside of the forearm and wrist, and then there is a pouch or sac of cushioning (think small pellets, akin to what goes into a bean bag) that is supposed to fit into the palm, to support your palm and your fingers in a "natural" curve. There is also a strip of stiff material sewn into the sleeve that runs down the palm and the length of your wrist and forearm to stabilize your arm. Both braces then have a wrap with three tabs (one at the top of the palm, one around your wrist, and one at the forearm) that allow you to adjust how snugly the sleeve fits. I think the problem with the ComfyBrace is that the pouch/sac that is supposed to fit into your hand is 1) smaller than the equivalent in the ACE brace; and 2) more loosely filled, so it's thinner and flattens out a bit too much when you set the tabs for the wrap. Wearing the two braces side by side, the ComfyBrace just didn't feel as supportive as the ACE Brace because there wasn't as much cushion for the hand. I felt compelled to tighten the tabs on the ComfyBrace to get the same feeling of support, but perversely, this ended up flattening the pouch, and a lot of the supportive cushioning got squished out to the side, away from my thumb. In addition, the materials used in the ACE brace feel a little higher quality - the fabrics feel a little less flimsy and the pellets in the cushion for the palm are smaller, so in addition to the palm cushion being larger than the equivalent in the ComfyBrace, it's also firmer and provides more support. YMMV - I've certainly seen some reviews complaining that the ACE brace is bulky. One person's supportive is another person's own bulky, I guess. In fact, I tried wearing both braces on each hand on different nights, and on the night I tried the ComfyBrace on my right hand (which has worse symptoms), I ended up having to swap the braces and give my right hand the ACE Brace. My right hand was falling asleep with the ComfyBrace on, but this problem stopped once I switched to the ACE Brace. My left hand isn't as bad as the right, and the ComfyBrace has helped on the left. All in all, the ComfyBrace probably would work for someone with relatively small hands (my own hands are 7.5" around the knuckles), or someone who doesn't have very severe carpal tunnel syndrome. But I think anyone with larger hands or a worse case of carpal tunnel would probably feel better with the ACE Brace. In addition, FWIW, I've found that while the braces do help at night, they don't get rid of my carpal tunnel symptoms during the day. This is my first time dealing with carpal tunnel, so I thought (perhaps naively) that wearing nighttime braces would address the problem entirely or at least reduce daytime symptoms as well as nighttime symptoms. They mostly help with nighttime problems (for me, it's my hands feeling like they were falling asleep), and certainly my hands look less puffy in the mornings than they used to, before I started wearing the braces. But I still have grip problems during the day, which I assume either need to be treated with a daytime brace (neither the nighttime ComfyBrace nor ACE brace is really compatible with daytime activities), or they will hopefully go away once I'm done being pregnant.

Nice feel and ability to adjust the straps and the angle you hand rests

tengo un problema de ligamento dañado y notaba que me dolía mucho la mano al despertar en las mañanas, cuando empecé a usar esta muñequera por las noches el dolor matutino desapareció. Al principio tardas un poco en acostumbrarte a la posición de la mano o el simple hecho de tener algo en la mano mientras duermes, pero con el tiempo nisiquiera la notarás

Immediate relief on my left wrist and arm once I put it on.
