Recommended compression: 15–20 mmHg; 20–30 mmHg for firmer support
For flights, road trips, office work, nursing, retail, warehouse jobs, and long periods of sitting or standing, 15–20 mmHg is the best broad recommendation. It gives practical support without feeling too intense for first-time users. 20–30 mmHg is better for people who already know they need firmer compression or experience more noticeable swelling and fatigue.
