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

Good product for the price. Replaced a wobbly stack of pillows so much better solution! Soft memory foam so it feels like a natural slope under your back. Using to elevate during sleep while recovering from treatment and medication side effects. I add extra pillows as needed. Came packed in a nice case but very tightly rolled which was tough to get out. I can’t see it ever going back in. As per the instructions you need to leave it 24h to re-form.

Having been recommended a wedge pillow for my wife due to acid reflux she suffered during sleeping, we decided to buy two, as I also suffer from acid reflux. I also wake at times to find I have drooled in my sleep (probably due to the acid reflux). The pillows arrived swiftly and well packaged. Unrolling them they quickly assumed the wedge shape seen in the pictures. Sadly my wife is finding hers a bit of a challenge due to recent warm temperatures and the fact they have memory foam. I, however, have been delighted by the results of using mine. I no longer wake up with drool on the pillows, my acid reflux has pretty much gone and I no longer snore (another night time ailment!!). Once the weather cools down I hope my wife can start to experience the benefits of hers but I would heartily recommend this if you suffer from acid reflux, snoring or drooling. I have also slept more soundly which can only be an added bonus as I work nights so my sleep pattern is irregular to say the least!! The wedges are sturdy and comfortable. Perhaps they could be slightly wider but I have to say I sleep without tossing and turning now so the width is actually okay. My wife has always been a restless sleeper and this may be the reason she is not getting the benefits I do as she probably rolls off the wedge as she turns over. On nights when I am working I suggested she put the two wedges together to give her more space and I hope she will try this soon. A good solid product. Delivered quickly. Well packaged. Very satisfied!

Took me a week or so to get used to it. Very comfortable when you find what works best for YOU. Definitely has improved my back pain during the night (had a L5 compound fracture a year ago). Excellent value for money in comparison to other memory foam products. It’s a shame that it wasn’t wider as I tend to side sleep both left, right & on my back. If they produced a wider product I would be first in line to buy one.

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

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.

At first I was worried it might be too high and uncomfortable for my spine, but it turned out to be surprisingly 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.

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
