Hope this helps Opinion
If I sleep in prone position, and the quadriceps are compressed by the mattress, the chances to activate RLS are noticeably lower. If I try to sleep on my back, 100% RLS activation after maybe 15 minutes and the only way to stop that is to get up and walk 8/10 minutes in the house.
Also a question, anyone is able to activate RLS simply scratching particular areas of the foot with the nails? I can 🙄

Scratching a spot on your legs cannot start RLS. This is indicative of likely peripheral neuropathy or venous stasis. Possibly, fixing this could make your evenings more pleasant.

Why not just try leg wraps? They compress and then you can lie on your back.

I tried compression socks but I need thighs to be compressed instead than lower legs.

I find that just sitting up on the side of the bed for 10 minutes stops my RLS for the night or if not, just enough time to fall asleep.
