A friend of mine went to a sales pitch for an outfit that sells magnet pads. One of the things mentioned was a magnet matress pad would cure RSL. Anyone heard of this or tried. Thanks

For awhile I tied magnets around the soles of my feet. It definitely helped settle my legs.

However, once I tried tying them around my leg just below the knee and it sent the RLS over the top instantly. I couldn't rip them off fast enough.

So, personally I would be afraid to try the mattress.
