Healthex Bed Wedge Support Pillow Memory Foam - For Acid Reflux, GERD, Reduce Back Pain, Snoring And Breathing Problems - Great For Sleeping, Reading, Rest Elevation -Washable Cover @ M&A STYLES

Good item

I've only used it a few nights so far. When I got it first, there was an awful strong smell, so I had to let it air out for at least 5 days. Definitely worth waiting for though. I find it very comfortable. I have acid reflux, so i have been wanting to try a wedge pillow for ages but was weary as I haven't always read good reviews. I also have back problems, so I need to use an orthopaedic pillow too, so the pillow actually works pretty well with the wedge. I was worried that I'd feel too high up but this isn't a concern, and I share a double bed with my partner. I have noticed that my acid reflux isn't as bad. I usually suffer every night. I also like to read in bed, so I've also turned the pillow over so that I can sit with my back to it, and I find this comfortable too. I hope that I'll get good use out of it, but I'd be happy now to spend the extra money on a more expensive one. I thought the price of this one was reasonable and worth it for my first time using one though.

Can't fault the item, it just wasn't for me. I kept sliding down the pillow during the night so it was pointless

Wedge shaped support pillow. It doesn't appear to entirely made of memory foam though, just as small 1" thick layer on top of much firmer type of foam that makes up the rest of the wedge. I'm also not convinced that item is new, as I removed the cover to wash it before use, the memory foam layer underneath is discoloured down the middle, like someone has already been laying on it. It doesn't smell used though and isn't misshapen in any way. The suspect condition of the pillow is why I've taken off 2 stars. Onto how effective it is. Surprisingly, it absolutely does the trick, I use Sleep as Android on my phone to track my sleeping and one of the features is recording how much you snore, usually my snoring can be anywhere between 12 and 20% per night, with lots of recordings of it. After using the pillow for one night, the percentage dropped to just 1%. I've tried lots of things to reduce my snoring and they simply didn't work, but this does appear to actually work.

This pillow is well made with a nice soft cover that can be removed for washing. I find the height of the wedge very comfortable to sleep on and it raises my upper body just enough to help ease the gastric reflux I suffer from.

1inch of memory foam, then hard foam. DO NOT BUY, it’s extremely uncomfortable, definitely not as described and I doubt you could roll it up like in the picture in the description , on how to open it up, it’s solid !

UPDATE: I was incorrect, it does eventually expand to a normal size. It took A LOT longer than I expected, 2+ hours all told. Updated star rating to reflect; it does what it says it does! Original Review- This thing is comically FLAT. Hardly any incline at all. I thought when I took it out of the vacuum-sealed packaging that it would expand like a lot of pillows do, especially given the size of the pillow case it comes in but...Nope. Stays flat. Keep shopping.

I had retinal surgery where I had to be face down for 2 weeks. That meant sleeping on my face. I rented equipment to help with keeping me face down but the sleeping situation was awful. The pad pressed on my face so hard that after 20 min the pain was unbearable and I had to wake up and move to the couch for another 20 min. This pillow was amazing, but I had to cut a hole after measuring the size of my face and made some vent holes so I could breathe while face down. This was so comfortable that I was able to lay face down all night without pain which finally allowed me to get rest. Totally worth the money, was a Godsend.

It took over a week to air out. I was expecting a couple of days at the most would air out the chemical odor. So, if you're in a hurry...I don't recommend this one.

I needed to buy a wedge pillow to help with a few things. One was acid reflux, which I've had an issue with for years and, although I take medication for it, I sometimes still have reflux during the night. This pillow has completely stopped that! The second reason was back issues. I have had to sleep on my back because of a shoulder issue (recent surgery) and even though I tried to put a pillow under my knees, my back still killed me. Since using this pillow my back has been so much better. The pillow is extremely comfortable. After using it for several weeks I decided I needed to buy a second one so I'd have one in our winter home too.

This is a pretty firm wedge, but the blue "foam" on top is a little softer than the under part... which is fine because all you really feel is the part you lay on anyway. The cover is nice (although hard to zip up if you're putting it back on after washing). The angle is a bit steep and I end up sliding off during the night, not sure what to do about that. I've tried a pillow under my knees but only helps so much. What I didn't notice at first when buying and bothers me now is that the bottom edge that you lay on is not tapered completely, it is a squared off edge. I have another wedge that I got for my husband that is tapered (a true wedge/triangular shape) so it transitions well into the mattress when laying on it and is more comfortable and you cannot feel the edge of it.
