my leg measures 16 inches which size should i order so reviews say order a size smaller and some say order a size bigger?

I don't know exact measurements. I would suggest one size smaller Thant pant size (S M or L)the below knee is tapered & a little larger above knee. Wonderful product. I wish I hadn't battled with pillows for as long as I did

Is this mushy as it looks?

I don’t know what you mean by mushy but it’s a has a nice comfortable bad that fits just great against the second knee giving my knee the relief it needs

stretches to cover hip?

No. It stretches to cover knee only. There's no way this could cover a hip, not wide enough, in any size.
