all the difference in the world
I have severe acid reflux, and, even with prescription and OTC medicines, I was still waking up almost every night of the week with miserable, choking acid symptoms.
The first night I got this was the first full night of sleep I'd had in ages. And, ever since getting this pillow two-plus months ago, I have had not one single night of acid-awakening. Not...

A waste of money
I recently purchased this wedge after my doctor informed me that I have advanced reflux and changes in the lining of my esophagus. He encouraged me to either lift the legs of the head of my bed on bricks, etc., or to purchase a wedge. I thought the wedge would be a better solution, so I went on-line to research wedges. I chose this wedge due to the multiple positive...

all the difference in the world, January 11, 2007
This review is from: Bed Wedge - Foam Wedge Bed Pillow 12" x 24" 'x 24" w/ white pillow cover by Duro-Med (Health and Beauty)
I have severe acid reflux, and, even with prescription and OTC medicines, I was still waking up almost every night of the week with miserable, choking acid symptoms.
The first night I got this was the first full night of sleep I'd had in ages. And, ever since getting this pillow two-plus months ago, I have had not one single night of acid-awakening. Not one! The difference is night and day, truly amazing.
An unexpected benefit is that the solid wedge pillow gives a great deal of back support; I've noticed a difference in upper back pain in particular since getting the pillow. It's quite firm, so it keeps your back in a firm line.
This isn't a soft, cushy pillow and isn't meant to be, so do be aware of that. But it wouldn't work if it was. I repeat, this has been a tremendous health benefit for me, in more ways than one.
Also, it's much easier than elevating your bed with casters, and it's portable.
HIGHLY recommended.

Awesome, February 10, 2007
This review is from: Bed Wedge - Foam Wedge Bed Pillow 12" x 24" 'x 24" w/ white pillow cover by Duro-Med (Health and Beauty)
I am so pleased with this item. I am a large person with a bad back and even worse neck. I was afraid this would compress flat, losing the benefits of the wedge shape. I was also afraid my back and neck couldn't handle the incline. Not so! It is very firm but still confortable, giving support to both neck and back. It's very sturdy. It is wide enough to allow me to sleep comfortably and long enough to give me room to put my contour pillow at the top and still have head room. No snoring or reflux since night one. The pillow case is soft and fits tight. Delivery was very fast. I would recommend this to everyone, unless you are looking for a soft, cushy, squishy thing just to sit up in bed.

Wedge Pillow, February 14, 2007
This review is from: Bed Wedge - Foam Wedge Bed Pillow 12" x 24" 'x 24" w/ white pillow cover by Duro-Med (Health and Beauty)
I bought this pillow because I am pregnant and need to sleep on an incline to get comfortable. I sleep a lot better with it, but because the incline is so steep, I often slide down the pillow as the night progresses, and I wake up with my head near the bottom of the pillow. I would have preferred one that had more grip or ridges, to prevent me from sliding. I do like the level of incline I am in, and plan to continue to use the pillow post-pregnancy.
Overall, I am very happy with my purchase, and would buy it again! The pillow is surprisingly firm, which is great for my back.

A waste of money, August 3, 2008
This review is from: Bed Wedge - Foam Wedge Bed Pillow 12" x 24" 'x 24" w/ white pillow cover by Duro-Med (Health and Beauty)
I recently purchased this wedge after my doctor informed me that I have advanced reflux and changes in the lining of my esophagus. He encouraged me to either lift the legs of the head of my bed on bricks, etc., or to purchase a wedge. I thought the wedge would be a better solution, so I went on-line to research wedges. I chose this wedge due to the multiple positive reviews, but I simply can't believe that people can sleep on it. The package arrived very quickly, and I tried it out the first night it arrived. I found the angle of the wedge to be too high. Throughout the night I slid down the wedge, and there is no give to it so I woke up multiple times throughout the night. I found it impossible to lie on my side as well. Research shows that only a six inch rise is necessary to relieve reflux symptoms, so my advice would be to purchase one that is only six inches in height. Also, this is not a returnable item. Something which was never brought to my attention, so consider yourself warned.

Not just for GERD!, July 26, 2008
This review is from: Bed Wedge - Foam Wedge Bed Pillow 12" x 24" 'x 24" w/ white pillow cover by Duro-Med (Health and Beauty)
We purchased this as an alternative to the Liberator Ramp sex pillow. Not as fancy but it works as a much cheaper substitute. Better than spending the $100+ on the ramp. We are even considering making our own cover.

Covers don't fit at all, April 29, 2007
This review is from: Bed Wedge - Foam Wedge Bed Pillow 12" x 24" 'x 24" w/ white pillow cover by Duro-Med (Health and Beauty)
The pillow is just a big piece of foam. That's not so bad, but the covers don't seem to fit very well. The one that came with the pillow split a seam in the first week. We purchased two replacement covers and destroyed the flimsy plastic zippers on both of them trying to get them on. The covers are a VERY tight fit. If you intend to take them on and off to launder them with any frequency - you might want to look elsewhere.

NOT RETURNABLE!, December 9, 2007
This review is from: Bed Wedge - Foam Wedge Bed Pillow 12" x 24" 'x 24" w/ white pillow cover by Duro-Med (Health and Beauty)
I have slept on 2 regular pillows for some time and thought this would be a better solution to my sinus and acid reflux problems. I didn't realize that 12" would be too high and I kept sliding down during the night. Be sure you choose wisely, as this seller does NOT allow refunds on pillows. I was not made aware of this anytime during the buying process. The 7" height would have probably been better for me. I tried a number of times to contact the seller but did not get any response! I thought they might be able to do an exchange.

Piece of foam, August 26, 2007
This review is from: Bed Wedge - Foam Wedge Bed Pillow 12" x 24" 'x 24" w/ white pillow cover by Duro-Med (Health and Beauty)
I didn't like this product, the pillow is extremely unconfortable, and can damage your back. I called and they have horrible customer service, impossible to return, because the shipment will cost more than the piece of foam itself, because of volume. This is the first time that Im not happy with a purchase through Amazon, I'll continue using Amazon and its credit card, but certainly ill never buy anything from this seller.

Esophageal/Gastric Cancer Sleep Relief, January 12, 2008
This review is from: Bed Wedge - Foam Wedge Bed Pillow 12" x 24" 'x 24" w/ white pillow cover by Duro-Med (Health and Beauty)
After Esophageal/gastric cancer surgery, this pillow has been great. It's the perfect height to prevent reflux from spilling into lungs, and the perfect angle so he doesnt slide down the bed. It's comfortable, firm, light weight and perfect for the price. (worth trying!!) I wish we had found this 18 months ago, and saved us alot of sleepless nights with stacks of pillows.
**Dont ignore the reflux, or mask it with antacids.. it could be an early warning sign of Barretts, or even worse, Esophageal cancer!! One simple test (endoscopy) could save your life!

Bad smell, can't return-AWFUL!!!, March 1, 2008
This review is from: Bed Wedge - Foam Wedge Bed Pillow 12" x 24" 'x 24" w/ white pillow cover by Duro-Med (Health and Beauty)
Product arrived in damp box, smelled musty, damp, and nasty. Opened box and pillow's plastic since I thought pillow would have been protected. No Such luck. And supposedly I can't return it once I have removed the plastic wrapping since it's a "health care" product. Of course, I didn't expect to be shipped a damaged item. Trying to return it for refund anyway. Highly recommend avoiding ordering pillows or such online-not returnable and you can't tell what you are getting! I just searched the item info and still can't locate the return policy stated anywhere on the page for the item....awful!
