InteVision Extra Large Foam Bed Wedge Pillow (33" x 30.5" x 7.5") - 1.5" Memory Foam Top Layer with Firm Base Foam - Helps Provide Relief for Acid Reflux, Post Surgery, Snoring, Allergies & Back Pain

Here's my scoring and why I gave this five out of five stars;1. Smell - this is a problem with these memory foam products, they smell toxic, like burnt plastic and antifungal spray. No one wants that smell in their bedroom and certainly, you can't cuddle up and sleep with something that smells so bad. So my experience of memory foam has been in the very long time it take to air out and off-gas it.But this wedge was bed ready in just 24 hours! A new record for me.2. Firmness - there isn't much point to a wedge if it compresses to the thickness of a double stuff oreo, but this is firm enough to lift you from the top of the bed and soft enough for it not to cause painful pressure points on my shoulder (I'm a side sleeper).3. Width - this is a wider wedge and I thought that alone would make this more comfortable, no more rolling off onto the non elevated portion of my bed. But it is the length that really makes this comfortable. It is long enough that my torso isn't off of the end and the gradual rise makes my back feel better. I didn't even realize that I was having back pain until I woke up without it!This wedge isn't terribly high, so I am not super elevated next to my husband who just uses regular pillows in bed. Also, it doesn't slide around as much as my old wedge, maybe because it is anchored by my butt.Also this wedge has been really comfy for my shoulder because I side sleep.The only downside and it's minor and didn't affect my enjoyment is that there is no pillowcase for this wedge. the pillowcases I had for my old wedges (I've had about five now) didn't fit and so I wrapped my robe around it so that I could start to use it, not pretty, but it does the trick.

i wasted money on this. I did contact amazon as soon as i received this as i needed to return the product. Unfortunately there was no positive response

I suffer from both sleep apnea and acid reflux (a natural extension of the sleep apnea issue,) and I've long heard that a pillow like this would help with both conditions. I've nearly stopped taking my heartburn medication after all of the bad press it's received, so finding a solution became more important. This has helped me a LOT. I find that I have been sleeping better than ever, and I've not had any further bouts of nighttime acid reflux. My partner, who also has sleep apnea issues (but does not yet have a CPAP,) has been having both issues. I purchased a second pillow, and now his problems have lessened substantially.I also find that I have less back pain in the mornings, and unexpected but welcome side effect of using the pillow. Even though I have a quality memory foam mattress, it seemed like it didn't support my lower back enough. When I lay down, this pillow's edge is right at the base of my back and better supports my back. The feel of the pillow is soft yet firm, a perfect balance for me.The wedge-shaped pillows are not a new concept; they've been selling them for years. The addition of memory foam makes them much more comfortable. I should also add that these have no detectable odor, even when fresh out of the packaging. The pillows are shipped in sealed bags with the air removed to minimize the size of the product, and are then rolled and wrapped in an additional layer of heavy plastic. Word of caution, be careful when cutting that outer layer of plastic so that you don't damage the pillow or it's cover in the process.This is a wide pillow, approximately 33", and I've read that two of them will just fit side-by-side on a queen sized mattress. On my king size, there's a bit of a gap in the middle, but nothing that is problematic. We opted to use them for a while before buying the special pillow cases for them; instead we use a spare flat sheet wrapped over and under the pillows and that's worked fine so far.I've been using the pillow for about 3 weeks. If something related to my review changes, I'll post an update. I have no idea how well the pillows will hold up over time, but for now they continue to look like brand new. I've already verbally recommended this to several of my friends who suffer from either lower back pain, sleep apnea, or acid reflux, and have no problems giving this a 5-star review here at Amazon.

i purchased this as a respiratory wedge during the beginning respiratory symptoms of als... initially, it worked fine, but very soon the non-memory foam portion began to compress, so it gradually developed a lower and lower angle when the same or a higher angle is required (for respiratory distress)... my respiratory state today requires ~> than ~35°... as i was unable to find such a large angle, 100% memory foam wedge, it was necessary to custom make a wedge by combining manufactured wedges with cut pieces from a king size firm memory foam mattress topper. this project was necessary to achieve and maintain the steep angle required.i recommend this memory foam mattress topper to cut your pieces from, again, so that you are building up with as much memory foam as possible; Best Price Mattress 2.5" Ventilated Memory Foam Mattress Topper, Kingthe ventilation was key with this mattress, as well as it is thicker and firmer than most and quite reasonably priced.as it is really a very individualized, customized art to get the right angle and comfort, what works for one does not mean it will work for another. as such, my intention is to share my individual experience and recommendations.keep in mind that all foams, with the exception of memory foam, will eventually compress and remain compressed, thus losing your desired angle.ok… i also recommend this foldable wedge, which is also mostly non-memory foam, but it has held up far superior than the wedge under review; InteVision Folding Wedge Bed Pillow (32" x 25" x 6.5") with a Carrying Case .i recommend this over the non-foldable, if this is all the angle you require, but i recommend both wedges in addition to a supply of memory foam(in the form of the mattress link above) to cut pieces from to build up your wedge, if you need to continue increasing your angle.these two InteVision wedges essentially form the guts or center of my wedge, surrounded by memory foam from the mattress, and it took some time to get it right, but it works! :-)○ note that the higher angle required is in direct proportion to decreasing comfort, as well as increasing sliding down and losing that angle you need to breathe ....... • so, to combat this issue, i cut a hole in the top layer of the memory foam where my hips/bottom are located for the main reason of having a break or stopping point where i would not slide down further... it has worked splendidly! :-) ... and, the bonus is no more hip bed sores thanks to the pressure is now distributed around the hip & bottom... and, this measure also increased my sleep angle by 3", as well!☑ bottom line on this measure; no sliding down the wedge, increased respiratory angle, and elimination of hip bed sores! 👍should you require some assistance in customizing a high angle respiratory wedge system, feel free to question me here and i will provide details and pics. i may be able to help, as i am an engineer with 2+ years of deteriorating respiratory distress from als. as such, i have built a respiratory wedge system that has a high angle, is relatively comfortable, and sliding down is prevented.ok, thanks for listening and best wishes to you in achieving a good nights rest!deke :-)

I love this product and it works wonderful. It almost completely fits on a twin size bed. I ordered an extra one to take with me to the Fisher House so I could leave it there when I make my trip back-and-forth to the VA hospital. This product is amazing and gives the right heights and lift for those who have acid reflux or sleep apnea. The only downside that I could say about this product is that it gets warm. They need to add a cooling texture to it somehow. I’m a hot sleeper and tend to run a fan and sleep with the temperature at 65. And this really still gets warm for me. Overall, I love the product and order second one.
