 Foam Wedge Bed Pillow November 13, 2008
I ordered this for a friend who was in a coma for many days and has recovred but has been unable to lie down in bed for about the past year. She has been sleeping in a recliner. Thanks to the wedge pillow she now is able to sleep comfortably in a her bed.
Works Well October 31, 2008
I ordered the bed wedge because I was getting surgery on my nose and needed to sleep elevated for a few weeks after the procedure. The wedge does the trick and it sure beats sleeping on pillows!
I agonized over whether to buy the tall wedge (this one) or a shorter one, and went for the height in the end. I only slipped off of it one night. wearing full PJs helps prevent this. More friction.
I find the wedge most comfortable with two soft pillows on it: one for my lower back and the other to sit under my neck and support my head rolling to either side.
I sleep fine on the wedge, but now that I'm through my recovery, I'm back to sleeping flat. I'll save the wedge for nights when my hiatal hernea is bothering me.
Continues to save my marriage! September 5, 2008
This wedge continues to save my marriage, as it has all but completely stopped me from snoring. I've tried nasal strips, throat sprays, etc., and none of them worked. Elevating my upper body when I sleep (like this wedge does) has reduced my snoring by about 98%. The 2% of the time that I do continue to snore, it's usually because I've slid down on the wedge so I'm sleeping horizontally again. I actually use a contour pillow in conjuction with this wedge.
I also purchased a foot wedge, but do not use it as much. Both of these products also helped with some back problems I was having. I get the best nights sleep using these, and that's saying a lot when you have a nagging back problem.
This one is rather large and bulky, which is good for me because I'm a big person, but for anyone normal sized or small, you could easily use a narrower one. I've even taken mine on vacation (driving -- not flying or cruising/sailing), but I'm currently on the look out for a nice, inflatable model so that I can more easily stow it. This one does work okay if you use one of those storage shrinking bags (where you suck the air out of the bag). The wedge springs right back into shape when you open the storage bag.
I highly recommend this product.
how my bed wedge helps me August 24, 2008
i have acid feflux ,gerd, .the wedge helps to reduce the acid reflux . if i lay down flat ihave a hard time breathing and the gerd will reflux all the way back into my throat . it rases me up enough that the reflux stays down and i sleep better.
Nice! August 23, 2008
I had one of these many years ago that over time (20+ years) just fell apart and had been searching for a replacement. I found a few places on-line where I could order a custom made wedge for roughly 2 to 3 times the cost of this item - more than I thought it was worth. I was pleased to find this item on Amazon at a much more reasonable price. The foam is a bit stiffer than the previous one that I had, but after 1-2 days it was not a problem. It was well packaged - wrapped in a plastic bag inside of the shipping box - so no chance to get wet as some others had complained. I highly recommend.
