The most comfortable stocking in its class.
mediven comfort open-toe thigh-high stockings in 30-40 mmHg are soft, opaque graduated compression stockings built for all-day, everyday wear. At the strong, therapeutic 30-40 mmHg level, they support management of severe varicose veins, significant leg swelling, chronic venous insufficiency, and healed venous ulcers under clinician guidance.
Known as one of the most comfortable stockings in its class, mediven comfort pairs a smooth, skin-friendly fabric with a soft elastic foot that is easy to pull on and won’t scrunch the toes. A silicone top band adds a secure hold. Clima Comfort™ and Clima Fresh™ keep legs cool, dry, and fresh, while Acu-Knit® maintains precise graduated compression wear after wear.

Care Instructions
Hand wash or machine wash only using gentle detergents on delicate cycle at 100°F. Do not use fabric softeners, chlorine-based detergents, or Woolite™-type detergents. Most mediven models are suitable for machine drying using the gentle cycle. Do not dry over heaters, in direct sunlight, or by wringing out the garments. Do not dry clean or iron your medi garments. Use the medi stocking guardian wash bag to wash your compression garments with extra care and to prolong their lifespan. Follow the specific wear and care instructions provided with each product.
What is mediven comfort?
mediven comfort is an everyday venous compression stocking built for all-day wearability, with a soft elastic foot for easier application. It covers the core symptom-relief and prescription range and is one of the most popular mediven fashion lines.
What makes mediven comfort different from mediven sheer & soft?
Comfort uses a slightly more substantial, opaque-leaning knit than the ultra-sheer sheer & soft line, trading some sheerness for durability and a more cushioned feel. Both share Acu-Knit® construction and the same therapeutic accuracy; the choice comes down to appearance and feel preference.
Is mediven comfort available in open toe and closed toe?
Most comfort styles are available in both open and closed toe. Open toe suits larger feet, toe sensitivity, or warmer climates; closed toe gives full coverage and a more traditional finish.
How do I keep the soft elastic foot comfortable during the day?
The soft elastic foot is designed with reduced compression at the foot for easier donning and a less constricting feel, so it should sit comfortably without digging at the toes or instep. If you feel pinching, recheck your size against the chart, most comfort issues trace back to fit rather than the garment.
How long does a mediven comfort stocking maintain its compression?
Medi compression products are warranted to deliver their stated compression for a minimum of six months with proper care. Acu-Knit® construction is built to hold the compression profile across the life of the garment.
What does 30-40 mmHg compression treat?
30-40 mmHg is a strong therapeutic compression range used for severe varicose veins, significant edema, healed venous ulcers, and chronic venous insufficiency. It is a clinician-directed level for more advanced venous conditions.
Do I need a prescription for 30-40 mmHg?
Yes, 30-40 mmHg is firm medical compression that should be prescribed and fitted by a clinician. Accurate measurement is important at this level for both effectiveness and safety.
Is 30-40 mmHg hard to put on?
Higher compression is firmer and takes more technique to apply, which is why mediven uses Acu-Knit® construction and offers donning aids to make it manageable. A donning aid or rubber gloves can make application much easier, ask your provider for guidance.
Can anyone wear 30-40 mmHg?
No, firm compression at this level is not appropriate for everyone, particularly people with significant arterial disease or certain other conditions. A clinician should confirm that 30-40 mmHg is safe and appropriate before you wear it.
