 all the difference in the world January 12, 2007

I have severe acid reflux, and, even with prescription and OTC medicines, I was still waking up almost every night of the week with miserable, choking acid symptoms.
The first night I got this was the first full night of sleep I'd had in ages. And, ever since getting this pillow two-plus months ago, I have had not one single night of acid-awakening. Not one! The difference is night and day, truly amazing.
An unexpected benefit is that the solid wedge pillow gives a great deal of back support; I've noticed a difference in upper back pain in particular since getting the pillow. It's quite firm, so it keeps your back in a firm line.
This isn't a soft, cushy pillow and isn't meant to be, so do be aware of that. But it wouldn't work if it was. I repeat, this has been a tremendous health benefit for me, in more ways than one.
Also, it's much easier than elevating your bed with casters, and it's portable.
HIGHLY recommended.

I am so pleased with this item. I am a large person with a bad back and even worse neck. I was afraid this would compress flat, losing the benefits of the wedge shape. I was also afraid my back and neck couldn't handle the incline. Not so! It is very firm but still confortable, giving support to both neck and back. It's very sturdy. It is wide enough to allow me to sleep comfortably and long enough to give me room to put my contour pillow at the top and still have head room. No snoring or reflux since night one. The pillow case is soft and fits tight. Delivery was very fast. I would recommend this to everyone, unless you are looking for a soft, cushy, squishy thing just to sit up in bed.
Esophageal/Gastric Cancer Sleep Relief January 12, 2008

After Esophageal/gastric cancer surgery, this pillow has been great. It's the perfect height to prevent reflux from spilling into lungs, and the perfect angle so he doesnt slide down the bed. It's comfortable, firm, light weight and perfect for the price. (worth trying!!) I wish we had found this 18 months ago, and saved us alot of sleepless nights with stacks of pillows.
**Dont ignore the reflux, or mask it with antacids.. it could be an early warning sign of Barretts, or even worse, Esophageal cancer!! One simple test (endoscopy) could save your life!
Best used for spicing up sex January 23, 2010

There is an overpriced similar product called the Liberator Wedge that is sold for adding/altering positions for sex. This does the same at a much better price.
