Feelin Better…
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
Teaching an old dog a new trick takes patience. I suffered from severe neck pain, cervical ridiculitis (ridiculous sounding right?)… The pain became intolerable and was exacerbated from sleeping on my stomach (my position of comfort) and cranking my head to the left or right… Sleeping on my back was impossible til I got the Bed Wedge. Now a few weeks later and a little discipline, it is a pleasure to wake up pain free and well rested… I still have rollovers in the night, but I recover… What a simple solution for a ridiculous problem!

Too Hard!
Rating:2 out of 5 stars
I also found this wedge far too hard to sleep on.

However, I did try it with the plastic cover on, so I was able to return it. I read the other negative reviews and knew that the wedge might not work, but I couldn’t find anything similar in stores and I really wanted to give it a try.

Thank you to the other reviewers who warned me not to take the plastic cover off until I was sure I was going to keep it. I’ll pass on the same advice —

TRY IT WITH THE PLASTIC COVER STILL ON so you can return it if you don’t like it.

Also, check how much your return shipping costs will be before you buy. I tried to mail it at the US post office and the shipping was more than I paid for the item (because of the huge size of the box)! Amazon’s return shipping from UPS was much more affordable.

I got it shipped to me using free “Super Saver” shipping and then it only cost around six dollars to return it using Amazon’s UPS return label (printed off Amazon.com). I think it was worth spending that much money to give it a try. It might also be worth it to you to spend some money to test it out since a lot of people seem very happy with it. But, find out ahead of time what you are getting yourself into.

…does what a wedge should do.
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I bought this for my couch and internet use. I have a chronic back problem and sitting does not do well by me.

The cover (chose blue) is reasonable and the foam is a typical foam.

I am not a big person so it won’t flatten out too much..I don’t think.

Very helpful in alleviating leg swelling
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I fell off a bicyle and fractured my ankle in 6 places. Even though I am on the mend, I was having trouble with my ankle, foot and toes swelling. The physical therapist indicated I needed to get my foot above my heart whenever possible.

This wedge pillow is great for what I needed it for. It is firm and stable (stacked pillows squashed down or kept shifting), and is the perfect height for keeping my lower leg elevated. The only complaint I have is that the cover is kind of “scratchy” and I have sensitive skin. I put a sheet over the entire wedge pillow and it is now more comfortable.

The pillow arrived lightning fast — within 2-3 days of placing my order — evidently it was shipped from a local supplier, which was OK by me!

I would highly recommend this pillow to anyone who needs to elevate a lower limb to alleviate swelling.

Much too hard
Rating:1 out of 5 stars
Anyone who buys this should know that all who say that this is much too hard is telling the 100% truth. I did what others did and left the plastic on as well as sliding it under the mattress sheet. I’d had minor pain before I bought this in the small of my back but after trying this my neck is hurting to the point of needing a few Advil.

Great wedge pillow
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
The shipment was good, the pillows are high quality. 12 inches is a little high for us, but the foam is easily marked and cut down. Mine is now at 8 inchs tall & I love it. At 8 inches tall one can still sleep easily on one’s side too. My husband is still working on a height that works for him.

Would gladly order something else from this company.

To sleep, perhaps to dream
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I needed a pillow to sleep on at our son’s house as I have acid reflux and lately the meds have not been working too well. So the doctor suggested a wedge type pillow. We purchased one through Amazon and had it sent to our son’s house so it’d be there when my husband and I arrived. Well, I had good nights sleep with it and felt rested and not in pain from heartburn in the morning. It was so good that I ordered another one for our own home for me to sleep on. I have a smaller wedge one (7″ not 12″) and it wasn’t as good. I would recommend it highly to anyone who suffers from acid reflux. Edie N.

“How to Prevent Acid Reflux without Pills: Use Amazon.com’s Bed Wedge Pillow.”

I’m an advertising copywriter, and I’m attracted to products I’d enjoy writing about. Being interested in integrative medicine (alternative + mainstream), I prefer natural, non-pharmaceutical remedies for common ailments wherever possible.

Learning that raising one’s headboard (w/bricks) helps hiatal hernias and acid reflux, I moved things up a notch by buying the Duro-Med Foam Bed Wedge (two, in fact). It effortlessly elevates my upper torso, and allows me to avoid the expense of antacid pills, as well as numerous side-effects. Not only do I recommend the bed wedge, I’d gladly write advertising for your company if you ever needed it.

Breathing easier with a pillow wedge
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I wore out one pillow wedge, and had almost given up finding another that was 12-inches high. What I was seeing were 6-7-inches, but I found this one at Amazon, and highly recommend it if you have trouble breathing lying flatter. Too firm for you? Add a cervical spine pillow on top, or a softer pillow.

Best bed wedge ever
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
Love this pillow. Have had it for 5 months now and has maintained it’s shape and support. Replaces a stack of 5 I used to use to sit up in bed. Doesn’t fall into crack between mattress and bed like regular pillows do. Now I often wake up in same position I fell asleep in. Perfect transition angle from mattress to support height. Feels very good on my back.

The slope of the wedge is perfect for lying in bed to sleep, read, and watch television. My only wish is that it were a slightly softer foam.

Wedge Works
Rating:5 out of 5 stars

For reading, watching TV, using a computer, etc. in bed, I’ve found wedge pillows work best for me . I’ve had several over the years and this one is definitely the best yet. I’m 6′2″ and the dimensions are just about perfect for my purposes. It works very well with just one (regular) pillow propping up my head. It is stiff, strong and surprisingly light. While I haven’t had it very long, it seems to be made to last.

I don’t know if I’d recommend this for people with GERD, however. As mentioned, it is pretty stiff. That, together with the 12″ height, would make it difficult for me to sleep on. Having had GERD for years myself, I tend to think sufferers would be more satisfied with a wedge around half this height for sleeping purposes.

Not to play doctor, but if you need a wedge this high, it would seem that you must have one hellacious case of GERD. If you haven’t done so already, you should definitely look into the PPI class of drugs available by prescription and over-the-counter. These have worked very well for me. I currently use Nexium and have no symptoms with no side effects whatsoever (that I know of). Truly a wonder drug for me.

Another use for this pillow (that I wouldn’t recommend for GERD victims) is to prop up your knees in order to straighten and relax your back (long side down). (Back pain has proven harder to cure for me, but doing a lot of sit-ups helps considerably.)

Anyway, in all the applications for which I’ve used this pillow, it has worked very well. I’ll also note that it’s currently around one-third the cost of some similar products.

Rating:2 out of 5 stars
i am not as impressed as everyone else has written about this wedge. i didn’t see a size recommendation for this. i am short and this wedge is not comfortable at all. think it would be great if i was taller. (i’m 5′1″). when i lay on it, i keep sliding down it. it’s not the worse thing in the world but not the best. i hardly use it now. was not worth my money but will be for someone taller. and another thing i didn’t like…when i received it, it had the worst odor. smelled like someone had been smoking on it and i’m not a smoker. (no offense). had to spray it for several days with febreeze as well as wash it. don’t appreciate receiving something from a company smelling like that.

Wedge Bed Pillow 12×24x24
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
The pillow is perfect for what is supposed to do. The only thing I would suggest is to offer it in shorter lengths.

We use it on a twin bed and when it is placed against the headboard, it practically pushes you off the end of the bed if you are using the lower incline. Other than that it seems durable and is performing the way we want it to.

After 2 weeks, so far so good
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
This product is clearly over-priced for what it is (a triangular piece of foam) but I was glad to finally just find something, ANYTHING, that helped with my night time gastric reflux problems. I’ve been using it for about 2 weeks now, including which time I have had & recovered from a cold, and this pillow has been VERY useful. In the past I have tried to stack my own pillows to make a wedge/pile but the results were mediocre at best. Unlike some other customer reviews of this product, I do NOT find this pillow to be too hard; it is just about the perfect firmness in my opinion. I have also recently discovered that, perhaps counter to one’s initial intuition, it works better alone than with another regular pillow set atop it. I do find that I slide down off of the pillow during the night but, hey, the product didn’t promise anything about providing an anti-gravity field.

Note that these pillows come with two heights, a 7″ and a 12″; this is not obvious IMHO from the product description. The height is the first number listed in the dimensions. I got the 12″ lift height and am glad I did.

After just 2 weeks I don’t yet have much of a feeling for durability; I know some reviews claim that the pillow flattened out after a while. We’ll see, but so far I am very pleased.

Sleeping on the Wedge
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
Sleeping on the “wedge” has helped with a back problem. I had a dull pain under my left shoulder blade that would not go away. After many tests including MRI, CT scan, etc., my doctor said the pain is a result of a pinched nerve in my spine. I borrowed a wedge pillow from a friend and got such great results, I purchased one. I no longer have the pain in my shoulder after two weeks.

This is a wonderful product if you want to be able to prop up in bed to read or watch television. I used it while recuperating from knee replacement surgery requiring I be in bed for hours in a continuous passive motion machine. The wedge saved my back by supporting my back and upper body while in the machine.

Bed Wedge – Perfect for my husband’s broken arm
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
The bed wedge was perfect for my husband while recovering from a badly broken arm. He had to sleep in a recliner in the living room until we thought to search for a wedge on Amazon. We actually ordered two because we were afraid that 24″ wouldn’t be wide enough, but it was fine — and he’s a big guy. He’s been much more comfortable sleeping in our bed with the wedge.

It’s alright… good for the price.
Rating:3 out of 5 stars
This wedge pillow is good for watching tv, or to just sit when you’re in bed. But I don’t recommend this pillow if you want to sleep with it. It’s not very soft, and you can’t adjust the height level. However, in my case I do need to use this wedge pillow because I have severe allergies and asthma at night, so it helps not to clog my nose. But it’s kinda uncomfortable if you need to switch sides, and I usually wake up at night because of that. It’s more comfortable if you sleep with stomach side up, though.

But again, I do need to use some kind of elevated pillow and that’s why I’m using this one, instead of using to regular pillows which gave me a real neck pain a couple of times… I just wish this pillow was softer, and it’d be perfect if I could adjust the height. But overall, it’s a 3 star for not giving me neck pain, and unclogging my nose at night.

Bed Wedge Pillow Rocks!
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I ordered this product for my elderly mom to help w/acid reflux & COPD. Whereas she was uncomfortable propping herself up on several pillows to rest or sleep, this wonderful wedge was instantly comfortable and can easily be carried from bed to couch or put in the car for a night away. This is certainly more flexible than raising the head of the bed w/cinder blocks or phone books as the doctor had suggested!

She hasn’t even tried it for sitting up or elevating legs, but those are options, too.

The only slight challenge is getting the pillow case on & off for washing, but it’s not that bad. We’d like to get another cover.

Better then I expected
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
The product came in sooner then I expected with normal delivery and the pillow itself now has a dual purpose. It helps with the acid reflux plus when sleeping and is great for watching TV. Had to place the pillow between box spring and matress because it was a bit to high and too hard but works great under the matress to sleep. For TV I put it on the matress. Exactly what I was looking for. I suggest you wash the pillow case as soon as you get it otherwise the smell is reaaly bad, probably from being closed up. The smell of the pillow goes away in a few days so don’t panic.

Overall, very good item; but not perfect.
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
The one that arrived to me was stained, and smelled. So, I have left it in the plastic zippered container. This way I don’t have to smell it. Then I put it in the washable blue cloth. It is too hard, so I place 2 small pillows over the wedge. With this set-up, the wedge works very well.

I sleep with the wedge, and it helps with GERD. I have had it for a month, and find it works fine. The blue cover is not very high quality. It still works, but I don’t think it will for more than a few more months. As compared to no wedge, this works great. I haven’t used another wedge like this before, but I would guess that other wedges could likely be much better. However, with the pillows covering the top, it works fine for my needs.

There is basically nothing wrong with the product itself. The problem is with Wheelchairs Plus Mobility Solutions Inc.

Everything, order, confirmation, and shipping order all say white, but they sent a blue one anyway. The item is so bulky that shipping it back would be to expensive to justify.
