Wedge Pillow for Acid Reflux, Folding Pillow Includes Zippered Folding Cover, Fitted Poly-Cotton Cover and Quality Carry Case. Dr. Mike Roizen's Top Reflux Solution (32"x24"x7")

I purchased this wedge pillow in early August after reading so many positive reviews. My primary objective was to ease my acid reflux for which I was taking expensive, potent prescription medication. I have read advice that says to elevate the head of your bed about six inches to relieve this condition, but that's not always easy or practical to do. And if you're travelling, that solution won't help at all.By nature I am not an optimistic person and thought this pillow would end up in my specialty, "wish this had worked" pillow collection. Not the case.I'm probably not saying anything here that hasn't already been said by others, but this pillow works like a charm and I have been free of acid reflux since I got it. And for me, the pillow came with bonuses: I stopped snoring, a habit which woke me repeatedly every night; my sinuses stay clear so I'm not turning from side to side trying to breath; and speaking of breathing, since I'm sleeping in a comfortable elevated position, I no longer feel like an elephant is sleeping on me all night. One of the things that I really love about it is that I can use my regular pillow on top of it. And I can sleep comfortably on my back or side.As for the price of the wedge, it was a bargain for me. A 90 day supply of my medication costs six cents more than this pillow is currently listed for on Amazon. I'm saving money, and know I have found a healthier alternative.Note: This pillow is smooth on one side and rippled on the other. When I first removed it from the box I wasn't sure which side went up. I contacted the company to find out and was told the rippled side goes up. Also, even though the one I purchased is the standard size, and plenty big enough, it is also available in an extra wide width.

I have acid reflux and sleep apnea. I use a cpap machine and have been using a 25" length pillow wedge for the last couple of years. I am also a 6 foot 270 pound man. I just got over a terrible virus with a bad dry cough. My doctor told me that it was made worse and I was more prone to get sick due to the acid reflux. It's good I saw him for I am on meds for the reflux and he said the acidic aspect was gone but it was still there in nonacidic form causing damage. Primary reason was not sleeping at the correct angle. As many of us have learned the shorter length wedge merely raises the head and constricts the stomach making the reflex and all the problems it causes much worse.Of course I was told to raise my bed if possible but it is not. He then recommended this pillow and it has helped tremendously. It took about 1 week to get used to sleeping on it and I must say that is a good thing. I was concerned that due to my size and weight that the pillow would easily loose its firmness and squish down in size but that has not been the case at all. You are supposed to sleep with the side with the wedges up and the pillow is very comfortable while helping you stay in place. It just took me time to get used to sleeping on such a slant. The previous smaller wedge was not effective for my body enveloped it and its firmness quickly gave away.I begin on my back but am basically a side sleeper. I find the pillow comfortable in either position. I do wake up sometimes more towards the middle of the pillow and need to raise myself up again. it is not due to the pillow not holding me but rather me tossing around. My nighttime cough is pretty much gone and I must say it feels great to be able to lay fully prone on the pillow. I can feel that the airways are more open and it ultimately makes falling asleep much easier. There are many rave reviews here but I wanted to chime in for it has been very effective with a man of my size. Many feel the pillow is overpriced but I don't believe the quality of the foam with the correct medically recommended slant would be the same with other lower priced wedges. Highly recommend.

I have a hiatal hernia that causes acid reflux. I had been sleeping with a bunch of blankets between my mattress and box spring, which wasn't very effective. I ordered this wedge pillow based on the positive reviews and I'm pleased with it. I've been sleeping on it for about two weeks now and I find that I'm not waking up as much during the night now and I'm feeling well-rested in the morning.I'm a side sleeper, so it was a little awkward getting used to this pillow. THe first night I tried it with my bed pillow and the two together were too high. My neck and shoulders were sore the next day. The next night, I tried just the wedge pillow, but that was too flat for me. The third night I used a smaller pillow with the wedge and that combination seems to work for me. I've been waking up without an irritated throat for the first time in years!I do tend to slide down a little during the course of the night. Even when I'm further down on the pillow, I'm still elevated more than I was with the blankets under my mattress, so I'm happy! The MedSlant wedge pillow has definitely helped to improve my acid reflux.
