Wedged Sleep Aid for Heartburn and Acid Reflux

This wedge is great except it was too long for me. It hit me in the middle of my hip and my hip ached terribly in the morning. So I folded the thin edge up a few inches and voile it was perfect.

I purchased this pillow to try and control my reflux while waiting to have surgery. I had developed severe asthma as a result of my reflux, and woke every morning in need of neb treatments and coughing. I had tried propping myself up with other pillows, and could never get comfortable. The first night I used this pillow was a God-send! I slept all night, no pain in my back when I woke, plus no coughing. I am now ordering a pillow for a family member with similar problems!

I was very disappointed in the wedge pillow. I would have returned it if I hadn't misplaced my paperwork. Both my husband and I tried the wedge. We both found that the wedge "slid down" the bed during the night. There was then a space between the headboard and the wedge and our pillow kept getting caught in that space. We tried to use it on top of the fitted sheet as well as under the fitted sheet and neither way worked very well. Even if the wedge had worked well, we both concluded that a 5" incline wasn't enough to really keep us from being stopped up or having acid reflux. The wedge needed some sort of pillow case with it. If we had continued to use the wedge, it would have become dirty over time.

My husband has been suffering from Acid Reflex for a long time. He takes medication, but sleeping has always been difficult for him. We tired stacking pillows, but we were looking for some kind of wedged pillow. I found the perfect one on Overstocked.com. It was very resonablied priced, and we received it in just a few days. He has been so happy with the product. It was the first time we used Overstocked.com, and it was a wonderful experience for us. He finds the pillow very comfortable and helpful. We are so happy to find it on line. I would not hesitate to use Overstocked.com in the future.
