Product Description

Product Description

Heartburn, snoring, coughing, and more can turn a good night's sleep into a nightmare if you suffer from acid reflux, asthma, sleep apnea, Hiatal Hernia, sinus congestion, breathing problems and more. But sleeping on a MedSlant™ torso length pillow that elevates your entire upper body and uses gravity to keep acid down and airways open, heartburn free, snoreless sleep - drug free - can be a dream come true. The innovative patented design is physician endorsed and recommended and made of hypoallergenic foam covered in an allergen barrier, dust mite proof, washable, removable zippered cover, includes an extra pillow case, and folds into a handy zippered, handled travel bag that will fit in the overhead bin on an airplane or under the seat in front of you. The allergen barrier cover is soft, supple, breathable, and prevents dust mites and allergens from getting into your pillow. The 32" length supports your entire torso and won't put extra pressure on your stomach like a shorter pillow will. You can use whatever kind of personal pillow you like and get a healthier, more comfortable night's sleep.

4.0 out of 5 stars Works very well., May 9, 2005

I bought this wedge after experiencing stomach acid problems that were not being resolved even with the highest strength medications (prescription). My doctor said that I needed to try to use a lesser type of medication, so I looked into other ways to reduce this problem. I tried this wedge and found that it worked surprisingly well. The dynamics are very simple - keeping your stomach lower than your esophagus during the night really helps! It took me about 3 nights before I started to get used to sleeping this way. Now, I can't sleep comfortably without it. When we go to a hotel, I get about 4 extra pillows to create this wedge. However, the wedge is the most effective way to do this. Although it's expensive (the reason I didn't put 5 stars), the value is that it works.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wedge Pillow for Acid Reflux with Allergen Barrier Cover, March 16, 2006

By	David Angeles Tiangco (Virginia Beach, VA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I was skeptical, but not anymore. I used to pop bedside Tums and Rolaids all night, but now they sit lonesome in the medicine cabinet. This pillow is rather pricy, but it's worth it to save your life (i.e. reduce the risk of esophageal cancer). It comes with a zippered white synthetic case which fully encloses the pillow, plus a second white cloth cover that fits over the top. The wedge folds into a neat rectangular shape and comes in a durable plastic bag for transport/storage. No nasty foam-vapor smell that I can detect so it's easy on the lungs too.

2.0 out of 5 stars More negatives than positives, July 20, 2007

I've had this pillow for half a year and find that I rarely use it. Maybe if you're a really sound sleeper this type of product will work for you, but otherwise you're better off tilting the entire bed if you are able. Although this pillow has a fairly gentle slope, it still bends you at an awkward angle when you're sleeping on your side, plus the cover is fairly slippery so there's a tendency to slide down as you sleep. inevitably after the first couple of hours of lying on it I end up throwing it onto the floor. On the plus side, the pillow itself is fairly comfortable once you get used to it and it does fold up, although it still takes up quite a bit of room when it's not in use. The product itself seems to be well made. My rating is based on the fact that the angle seems to be too much for truly comfortable sleeping but not enough to help with reflux. If you've used wedge pillows before and find them helpful then I would definitely recommend this product, but for me it just didn't work well enough to make up for the downside.
