Elevator - Avana Mattress Under Bed 7-inch Incline Foam Support, Queen 17697

I purchased this to elevate my daughter in her bed. She suffers from occasional acid reflux. This under mattress foam "wedge" works perfectly. I thought the foam would squish down but it doesn't. I left it to breath for a couple days after I opened the package it is shipped in and it then expands to its full dimensions. She doesn't slide down. The long slope of the entire bed (instead of a wedge pillow) is much better on her back and she sleeps so much better now!!! We then purchased a queen size for our bed (it comes in two pieces) and even with our very heavy mattress and two adults sleeping on the wedge mattress the foam keeps its height and doesn't squish down. Fantastic product. There isn't any odor from the foam... just a slight smell when its first unwrapped from shipping which goes away quickly.

We bought this to help reduce acid reflux, help with breathing issues, and dizziness (inner ear issues). Raising the head of our bed was not an option so this was a great alternative. It DOES help with acid reflux, reduces snoring, and has almost completely cleared up the dizziness. However, the rise is so substantial that getting in bed is a challenge and it's easy to fall out when reaching for the night stand! In hindsight I wish we would have bought the 5 inch rise instead of the 7 inch. But when we read the reviews people said the 5 inch was too subtle and wished they'd gotten the 7 inch so that's why we opted for the higher rise. We figured our weight would squash it down to 5 inches haha! Not so! It keeps its full rise. We did not see in the description that you need to pull this product out of the packaging and let it fluff up for several hours before putting it under your mattress. We were doing this at bedtime and did not wait several hours. We put it under our mattress straight away and it didn't seem to matter, so take that for what it's worth. It's very soft! Add comfort to your mattress for sure! Our queen size came in two twin size pieces. Overall I'd say it's a good product for sure, it takes some getting use to. We've had it for a couple weeks now and are finally settling in. We do slide down the hill a bit in the night!

It's hard to know for sure if it's helping when I'm being careful in other ways. I do find that my neck muscles seem to have tightened up after using it, front and back and I sometimes wake up with a slight headache. But I'm still using the incline pad.

Update nov. 2023 : I’ve now used it for more than 2 1/2 years and I am still very satisfied. Quality is excellent and I don’t even know it’s there anymore. I’ve used this mattress for about 3 weeks. It did not smell, even on the first day (I let it air for about 24-48 hours just in case). It was very easy to set up and regular sheets fit on it. It took me about a week to get used to it fully but now I sleep as if on a flat surface. I recommend this product.

I bought a wedge from another company for a few dollars less but had to return it because it wasn't dense enough to support my mattress and it was all out of shape with some areas too thin in the middle and almost non existent at the bottom. I returned it and bought this one from Avana. This is some sold foam and it hold my memory foam mattress with ease along with my wife and I tipping the scales at over 200 lbs each. Glad I returned the other one, this one is stable and well made and even all the way from top to bottom.
