Ideal For

This bed wedge is well suited for individuals with mild to moderate acid reflux, GERD, or indigestion who need a gentle, gradual incline under their mattress or pillow to reduce nighttime reflux symptoms without the discomfort of a steeper wedge angle. It is a practical choice for people who snore or have mild breathing difficulties during sleep and want a low-profile elevation solution that does not significantly alter the feel of their mattress. Individuals who find standard bed wedge pillows too steep or uncomfortable will appreciate the gradual 1/4" to 4" taper that provides a subtle, natural-feeling incline. It is also appropriate for anyone who has been advised by a physician to sleep with their head slightly elevated and prefers a wedge that fits under the mattress rather than on top of it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this wedge go under the mattress or on top?
This wedge can be used either under the mattress for a subtle, barely noticeable incline, or on top of the mattress under the sheet for a more direct elevation effect. Placing it under the mattress distributes the incline more gradually and is often more comfortable for users who find on-top wedges too firm or steep.

How does head elevation help with acid reflux?
Elevating the head and upper body during sleep uses gravity to help keep stomach acid from flowing back into the esophagus. The incline reduces the frequency and severity of nighttime reflux episodes for many people. A 4" elevation is considered a gentle incline — individuals with more severe reflux may benefit from a higher wedge such as a 7", 10", or 12" model.

Is the cover machine washable?
The polycotton cover is removable. Follow the care label instructions for washing. Allow to air dry completely before replacing on the foam wedge. Do not wash the foam core — spot clean only if needed.

Will this fit a standard queen or king mattress?
The 24" x 24" base fits under the head end of most standard twin, full, queen, and king mattresses. For queen and king mattresses, the wedge will elevate the center portion of the head end — if you need full-width elevation across a wider mattress, a larger wedge or two wedges placed side by side may be needed.
