Important Medical Notice

Firm compression stockings should be used under healthcare professional guidance.

Individuals with impaired limb sensation, peripheral neuropathy or known material sensitivities should consult their clinician before use. Follow your provider's instructions regarding wear schedule and duration.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who should wear 20–30 mmHg compression?
Firm compression (20–30 mmHg) is appropriate for individuals managing moderate to severe varicose veins, chronic venous insufficiency, moderate edema, post-sclerotherapy treatment, or those requiring prevention of venous ulcer recurrence. This compression level should be worn under healthcare professional guidance and is ideal for patients who need therapeutic intervention beyond what moderate compression provides. Athletes recovering from intense training and individuals with orthostatic hypotension may also benefit from firm graduated support.

How do I get the right size?
Use our Compression Stockings Measuring Guide for precise ankle and calf measurements and follow the Jobst Relief sizing chart.

Can I wear them all day?
Yes, Jobst Relief 20–30 mmHg knee highs are designed for all-day wear when prescribed by your healthcare provider. Put them on first thing in the morning before swelling develops, and wear them throughout your active day. Remove them before bedtime unless your physician specifically recommends overnight wear. The soft nylon-spandex fabric provides comfortable extended wear, though some users may need time to adjust to firm compression therapy.

What's the difference between compression levels?
Compression stockings range from 8-15 mmHg (mild support for everyday comfort) to 40-50 mmHg (maximum therapeutic pressure requiring prescription). The 20-30 mmHg provides firm support ideal for moderate to severe venous conditions including varicose veins and chronic venous insufficiency. Mild conditions typically need 15-20 mmHg, while moderate venous issues benefit from 20-30 mmHg. Severe conditions requiring 30-40 mmHg or higher should only use compression under medical supervision. Choosing the right level depends on your symptoms and healthcare provider recommendations.
