Compression Socks That Calm Restless Legs
Restless leg syndrome (RLS) can turn every night into a battle — the tingling, crawling, and irresistible urge to move your legs keeps you from the rest your body needs. Old Bones Therapy compression socks deliver steady, graduated 15-20 mmHg pressure from ankle to calf, improving circulation and providing the gentle, constant sensation that helps quiet restless legs naturally.
How Compression Helps Restless Legs
Graduated compression socks work by applying the most pressure at the ankle and gradually decreasing toward the calf. This design promotes healthy blood flow back to the heart, reduces the pooling and stagnation that can trigger RLS symptoms, and provides a calming hugging sensation on the lower leg. Many people with restless leg syndrome find that wearing compression socks — both during the day and at bedtime — significantly reduces the frequency and intensity of episodes.
Medical-Grade, All-Day Comfort
Our compression socks are knitted with medical-grade materials at 15-20 mmHg — the most commonly recommended compression level for restless legs. They're breathable enough for all-day wear, supportive enough for overnight use, and durable enough to maintain their compression through hundreds of washes. Every pair is designed to stay put without rolling or bunching, so you can focus on rest instead of adjusting your socks.
A Drug-Free Approach to Restless Legs
If you're looking for relief without medication, compression therapy is one of the most widely recommended non-pharmaceutical interventions for RLS. Pair our compression socks with healthy sleep habits — stretching before bed, limiting caffeine, and staying active during the day — for a complete approach to managing restless legs.
Most of our compression socks are HSA/FSA eligible through TrueMed — simply choose TrueMed at checkout to pay with your health spending account. Need help finding your size? Check our compression socks sizing guide. Browse all styles in our full compression socks collection.
FAQs

Yes, you can wear 15-20 mmHg compression socks to bed. This compression level is mild enough for overnight use and can help reduce restless leg episodes that disrupt sleep.

This provides enough graduated pressure to improve circulation and calm symptoms without being too tight for extended or overnight wear. All Old Bones Therapy compression socks are knitted at this medical-grade compression level.
How long should you wear compression socks for restless legs?
You can wear 15-20 mmHg compression socks as long as they feel comfortable — many people wear them all day and through the night.
