LARGE Bed Wedge Raised Pillow Acid Reflux GERD Memory Foam Back OL9

Very pleased with this. Have been using it about a month and it has helped my reflux a lot. It is nice and long, and soft and comfortable.

I bought this pillow to help with silent reflux - typical symptoms being a sour taste in the mouth on waking, post-nasal drip, frequent urge to clear throat/cough, and waking suddenly early in the night with a coughing fit/sensation of choking. I'm tall so thought this would be a good choice as its longer than anything else I'd seen. I let it regain its shape for 24 hours as advised and used it to elevate my head and torso, using a normal pillow at the top end. I'm surprised at how well it holds its shape overnight while still managing to be comfy - while doing my research I saw lots of reviews of other pillows complaining they were too hard, which I haven't found to be the case with this one. Another thing that seems to come up a lot with other pillows is the chemical smell of the foam when its first used - again, I had no issues with this one, barely any smell. Over the last few nights it seems to have helped with my reflux, the symptoms during the day are much better and I haven't woken up coughing/choking at all. I should note it's really only useful for sleeping on your back - side sleepers might end up with some aches from bending sideways at the waist. I do often shift position during the night myself but found that if I want to sleep on my side for a bit I can just shift down the bed and curl up near the lower end of the pillow. It's also worth mentioning that when my pillow arrived there was a split in the carrying bag - the customer service from the seller BARGAINWORLDUK when addressing this issue was excellent.

Very comfortable and well made wedges. I bought two and have put them both inside a spare single duvet cover to keep them clean as I use them as one unit on a 4'6" mattress. It is a tight sqeeze to get two into the single cover but they will fit and it keeps them tightly together so they don't move around and the cover keeps them clean. I then place them under the top sheet which seems to work ok (but I do have the extra deep fitted sheets). When placed on the bed there is a approxomately an inch and a half on either side of the wedge. I haven't tried putting them under the mattress as I am worried in case they make a 'bend' or 'ridge' in the mattress, tho they probably wouldn't - but I don't know?! If you sleep on your back you will likely find them very comfortable, I am a side sleeper and they take a bit of getting used to but great when lying on my back reading as they are so comfortable. The only thing I've found is that I do tend to slide down the bed somewhat during the night and although it's no great problem I'm not sure at this point if that's any good for my back due to the angle. I think they do help with reflux, paticularly if you stay higher up on them. Overall I'm happy with them - oh a word of warning tho - you have to fight to get them out of the packaging!! The only reason I dropped a star was because of my sliding down on them (and my duvet tends to follow - but that is a personal thing and may just be me!

This is very good for providing some relief from reflux or GERD etc without needing to prop the bed up & annoy your partner. I’m 5ft3 & I feel the wedge is meant for taller people but using the wedge is better than using car axle stands! I have been suffering horribly recently, despite changing my diet & medication, with a storm of GERD symptoms, many of which - I now realise - I’ve had for years, including loss of balance, tooth decay & enamel erosion, as well as feeling of lumps in chest & throat, hoarseness, cough, clearing throat, tiredness, difficulty speaking/swallowing/breathing, and I do feel this wedge is a good tool in my armoury to fight my way back to good health. Update: In conjunction with dietary changes (for me, already on a limited diet, it meant cutting right down on fat, alcohol, sugar, tomatoes, vinegar & citrus, all of which were staples in my diet) & daily lansoprazole, I’ve become much more stable over 6-8wks and now have much more energy, improved balance, am sleeping better, have much less pressure in my chest & throat, and have reduced other symptoms. For anyone else suffering with reflux, cut down on your food intake, especially on your dinner & try not to eat after 7pm. The wedge has proved to be a godsend, would just like to be able to sleep on all of it rather than 2/3!! In itself, this is a very good wedge, no reduction in plumpness at all with use. I cover it with a sheet, using it on top of the bedsheet so I can remove it easily, but if you get a larger bedsheet, you can cover it that way & ive heard some people put it under the mattress. It’s good value for money, comes in quite a small bag but expands once you struggle it out of there. If you put a pillow under your knees, or between them if you sleep on your side, you don’t wriggle down the bed & off the wedge. My health has improved so much that I’m now largely managing my symptoms with diet & lifestyle management - I’ve taken lansoprazole once in the last month because of nausea. I’ve read dozens (over 50) of books on digestive & dietary health issues, out of all of them I recommend reading one of George Jelineks books on diet (his is for MS but it applies, in the main part, to everyone more generally), The Gut Makeover Diet by Hyde (my bible), The Gut Gealth Diet Plan by Bailey (worked with Hyde, another bible), Spent by Lipman (wish I’d had it years ago when I first became ill), Oh Sugar by Bassford (no one needs refined sugar), Why People Don’t Heal & How They Can by Myss (to take responsibility for yourself & what you’re chucking in your gob), How Not To Die by Greger (the book the medics use but don’t expect the rest of us to stick to). I keep going back to all of them as habits are hard to break and hard to establish. I take a host of supplements as a result of these books, I also use a step at the toilet specifically designed to aid pooing - avoiding straining, fissures, pain, discomfort, piles - I don’t know how to do links but it comes up as a best seller for around ten pounds under toiletting stool, it helps if you have issues. Also, ladies, if you have to watch out for tight waistbands, look at your bras - I recommend soft maternity bras so there’s no pressure on your torso from your clothes. Re waistbands, I use button extenders as well as having a change of clothes at hand. Good luck! Update: 2 years of nightly use & no change in plumpness, very impressed with it Update: 3 yrs in, still fine

Very good quality, firm but comfortable good value also

Nice product but the pictures are deceiving. The people in the pictures must be tiny, or the pillows in the picture are bigger. I got the extra large one but it's too narrow to sleep on. Turn over and you're off the pillow. Need wider sizes.

Brought this item because I have been experiencing lower back pain since birth of first child 5 years ago. This pain is mechanical and only occurs at night when disks are compressed. Currently I use a bed frame which goes under the mattress and lifts me at a rough 45 degree angle. I then use pillows to prop my legs up, however I have been slowly slipping down the frame at night and losing the pillows under my legs, which is causing me to wake in agony. This pillow was the perfect solution to my problem. It came delivered in a neat and tightly wrapped package. I left it to regain its shape as advised on the advert. To my suprise it happend fairly quickly. That night I used it to prop my legs up at a 90 degree angle. By elevating my legs in this way, it instantly took the weight/pressure off my lower back. I had the best undisturbed nights sleep (6. 5 hours) I have had in a long time. Usually I get 5 hours and wake up 3/4 times a night and have to walk around to relieve the pain. So this was a huge relief to say the least. I use the frame for my torso and the orthologics wedge pillow for my legs. This is a winning combination and I am so glad I have cracked my sleep issues with this purchase. I can now sleep peacefully without the pain and discomfort. I can now remove the dozen or so pillows which have been taking up space in my bed. Finally, I cannot recommend this product more highly, especially for people with lower back pain. Dont give up trying to find what position works for you in bed. My sleep deprivation was getting me really depressed and I have tired everything from physio, accupucture, a chiroprator, massage, inversion therapy, even considering surgery, but this pillow was a cost effective way of transforming the way I sleep at night and has been a real life saver. I will update this review if anything changes, but so far I am over the moon with this product. Addtional benefits include a removable and washable cover and its made with memory foam so it moulds to your shape and bounces back easily after use. Also, the ridged material of the cover acts like grips on your mattress, so as not to slip and slide during the night. My only wish is that you could buy additional covers for the wedge pillow and maybe have them in different colours so that it can match your bedding colour scheme.

Having started to suffer from reflux (LPR in particular) I decided to try out this wedge after we had already raised our bed using wooden blocks. Raising the bed was ok, apart from my wife would often slide down it during the night. I would also find my feet hanging out the other side in the morning, something had to change..! We reduced the amount that we raised the bed and then I bought one of these wedges. I chose this wedge due to its overall size, in particular the length. This length means that the 20cm height at its greatest point is gradually attained whilst inclining you upwards from the waist to the head. For me this has meant that my upper body is not at an acute angle, no stiff neck in the morning, and I am less likely to slide down the bed during the night. It is early days yet to see how effective that this wedge will be to help with reflux and would be only part of the solution - both dietary changes and the use of Peptac, rather than PPI's, being explored. You could not expect this wedge alone to be the all in one solution to your reflux issues. How durable and how well it maintains its shape has yet to be seen. Overall I am impressed as my initial findings of a good night sleep and minimal sliding is pretty positive. In fact I then ordered one for my wife and so they are now placed side by side. It would be useful if the seller also sold replacement covers at a reasonable price, as they will need to be unzipped and washed. When we first received this wedge it came rolled up inside a plastic carrying case. We wondered if it would ever resemble the photos we have sen on the advert. However unwrapping it and then leaving it to adjust itself, without any use, for a full day it was fine to use. I hope that this review has helped you and the very best wishes if you decided to purchase one. Recommend
