A leg support pillow apparatus for supporting a lower leg and foot of a person lying in a bed has a base with a first thickness at an upper knee end thereof and an increased second thickness at a lower foot end thereof. Partition walls extend upward from the base and define leg channels extending from the knee end to the foot end of the base. The channels include foot portions at foot ends thereof having a width and depth configured to support the feet in an upright orientation, and upper knee ends of the channels have a width greater than the foot portions. Heel openings in the base under lower ends of each foot portion of the channels are configured such that when the leg is resting on the base inside the channel, the heel extends down into the heel opening and is supported above the bed.
