7.5 Inch Bed Wedge Pillow for Acid Reflux or Sleeping | 1.5 Inch Memory Foam Top with Stay Cool Cover | Incline Leg Elevation Pillows | Ideal for Gerd, Heartburn, and Snoring (25" Wx26 Lx7.5 H)

This Wedge pillow has provided me with a low cost, comfortable solution to morning back pain.We have a fairly new mattress with latex and memory foam top, it cost us $1400. Since buying this mattress over a year ago, I never wake up thinking "I'm so comfortable I just want to stay in bed". Almost every morning, I wake up with pain just below the mid section of my back. I toss and turn all night, from my back, to my sides... I have two support pillows I've tried; one is a support to raise my knees when on my back and the other goes between the knees when on my side. Both are intended to help with back alignment; neither have provided any relief.When we bought our mattress I tried many options, laying on them for 15 minutes or more, multiple times; my wife was getting tired of how much time I was spending. Ultimately, I never found a mattress that I thought "that is the one!". So, we picked one that felt "OK". After a year of back pain, I pretty much hate my $1400 mattress now so I broke down and went to Sleep Number. The ability to adjust the firmness in a "Number" bed is a whole new game, I walked out of that store with the sense of what felt "right" for me; something I did not have the last time we bought a mattress.Now, telling my wife we need to replace our $1400 mattress with a $3000 "Number" mattress was like swallowing glass, it didn't go down all that well. In the mean time, I tried this Bamboo memory foam wedge pillow and...I have slept through the night for the past 10 nights waking up without any back pain. I use this wedge with a low profile memory foam pillow which seems to work for me; I suspect the combination of what pillow to use or not to use with the wedge will be different for each person. I have several different pillows (profile and material types) and each one has a dramatic impact on comfort though out the night.Some additional details:I searched many wedge pillows, I chose this one for the moderate 7.5" rise, memory foam layer, and bamboo topper. The rise is not extreme but relieves the pressure my bed applies, and as a bonus I suffer from post nasal drip at night which wakes me up choking; this wedge has also relieved that symptom. The memory foam top is subtle be noticeably adds comfort and the bamboo has a nice even temperature effect. The pillow had some off-gassing which after 10-days is almost gone; All memory foam does this and I can deal with it although off-gassing may bother some people more than others. If you can place a fan on pillow during the day it will help the smell dissipate quicker. These features combined with the price and prime delivery (I received it in one day in the North West) appeared to be the best option when I was shopping, the past 10 mornings without back pain have been wonderful.I still want a number bed but this $40 investment was well worth it!

We were initially put off by the 1-star reviews of so many of the wedge pillows, and the huge cost of some of them. But we wanted to try wedge pillows for therapeutic reasons, and carefully read every review on Amazon and elsewhere. We chose these pillows for the overall high reviews and the reasonable price. We noticed an instant improvement in sleep quality. This is not simply a subjective assessment; we wear sports tracker watches and they immediately reported more deep sleep. We also noticed that we fall asleep more quickly and, if we awake, fall back to sleep more quickly. One of us snores and one of us is a light sleeper (bad combination!); we also noticed an instant reduction in snoring. Perhaps it's even an elimination, but we honestly don't know as we're both asleep. One of us has reflux problems for which medicine is needed. It's too soon to tell, but we think there may be improvement. We both noticed that we are much less stuffed up on awaking. One of us has had a portion of the hard and soft palate removed (cancer). This makes it difficult to sleep on one side, as saliva accumulates where it shouldn't; this problem has almost been eliminated.We like the cover supplied with these pillows and have bought spares from the same supplier. It is a bamboo fibre blend that is soft and feel cool to the touch. However, we both use a thin pillow atop the wedge pillow, mostly to avoid having to wash the wedge pillow cover as often. We have tried it without the added pillow and can confirm that the memory foam layer is about right...not so thick as to be heaty and thick enough to provide some comfort.As some reviewers have noted, the memory foam has a smell; it's kind of like fresh paint smell. We noticed it was quite strong the first night. The next day we put the pillows on the patio table under a fan. The smell was much reduced. After three days of this there was no longer a noticeable smell. We knew this would be an issue, as all memory foam has this smell; we've researched it and are satisfied that while it is unpleasant it is not harmful.The pillows are rolled very tightly and covered in plastic, looking kind of like a big sausage. Opening the package is a little tricky and the pillows might easily be cut if using a knife. We found that working the blade of a pair of scissors under the plastic on the end opened it up enough to tear the rest of the plastic open.

This pillow really helped my acid reflux. Well that and not eating like a pig before bed. The only complaint is the thing is huge and a weird shape, and it doesn't have its own separate pillowcase. And you can't buy one anywhere because of the weird shape. My girlfriend helped me rig up a pillow case with an old sheet and some rudimentary sewing, but it sure looks like a hillbilly fix so that kind of sucks. But the pillow itself is designed well and works great.
