Wedge Pillow for Acid Reflux

I got the pillow couple of weeks ago. Took me couple of days to get used to it. It really helps with my reflux. The problem is I slide down, so i wake up couple of times and adjust myself. I wish the pillow would have been more wider and longer.
It should have been custom made for your height and weight. I do not mind to pay couple of bucks more for that..

I have severe "GI" problems as well as sleep apnea... This thing helps with it all... Firm enough to support my weight (I'm a big Dude) but not uncomfortable to use... I'm very happy with this purchase...

I have a hiatal hernia that causes acid reflux. I had been sleeping with a bunch of blankets between my mattress and box spring, which wasn't very effective. I ordered this wedge pillow based on the positive reviews and I'm pleased with it. I've been sleeping on it for about two weeks now and I find that I'm not waking up as much during the night now and I'm feeling well-rested in the morning.

I'm a side sleeper, so it was a little awkward getting used to this pillow. THe first night I tried it with my bed pillow and the two together were too high. My neck and shoulders were sore the next day. The next night, I tried just the wedge pillow, but that was too flat for me. The third night I used a smaller pillow with the wedge and that combination seems to work for me. I've been waking up without an irritated throat for the first time in years!

I do tend to slide down a little during the course of the night. Even when I'm further down on the pillow, I'm still elevated more than I was with the blankets under my mattress, so I'm happy! The MedSlant wedge pillow has definitely helped to improve my acid reflux.

When I was diagnosed with GERD, my doctor gave me several recommendations, including lifting the head of my bed (or lowering the feet...). Rather than monkeying with the furniture, I opted to try out a slanted pillow. Research led me to pick out the MedSlant. In reading about it, though, I also discovered that it is useful for people with sleep apnea, something my husband suffers from. So I decided to make him the guinea pig! I gave him the first pillow I ordered. For the first time in our ten years of marriage, neither of us was woken up that night by his snoring (yes, he used to startle himself awake with his own snores!). He didn't sleep longer, but he woke up feeling far more refreshed than he had in months. He actually slept through the night, not being roused by the apnea every few minutes. We were both sold. I ordered a second one for myself and got to experience a night without burning in my esophagus. I immediately recommended this pillow to my sister who also has GERD (and whose husband is a mighty snorer, too).

This is better than a cheap one that I bought a bath store because it is longer and folds in half to fit in a carry case, but I think the price was very high.
