Avana Mattress Elevator - Under Bed 7-Inch Incline Foam Support - Riser for Acid Reflux, GERD, and Sleep Relief - Full

This wedge goes on easily under the bed and stays in place. I really needed the elevation because of reflux problems. I am thankful to have found it. Money well spent. Definitely helps with the health problem. Seems to be very good quality.

I have a heart problem and Myalgic Encephalomyelitis - also HORRIBLE sleep. Mild sleep apnea. I bought this out of desperation hoping it would help with the brain inflammation and because an M.E. expert said that elevating the head above the feet by 6 inches would help increase blood volume. I don't know if it is doing either of those things. What I do know is that for reasons unknown it is really helping me sleep more restfully. I have always had night terrors - terrible dreams accompanied by physical sensations like choking, sweating, terrible sensations in my heart like someone digging their fingertips in and squeezing. I usually wake up feeling like I just ran a marathon with my eyes closed. For reasons I do not understand I'm no longer getting the physical sensations along with the night mares and I'm waking up feeling a little bit rested. I'm still having the same night mares - just not all the physical strain that used to go along with it. Very strange - but good! More good stuff about this: M.E. will make you spend A LOT of time in bed and my back always gets really sore - this seems to be helping with that as when my back starts to get sore now I just put pillows under my feet and legs and my body being in a 'v' shape seems to alleviate the back pain. I am very surprised that the foam can support both me and my mattress without sagging and making my bed too soft. Also, I am very VERY sensitive to fumes of any kind and I was shocked that this foam product didn't make me sick when it came out of the package - so two thumbs up for that! Many bedding and household products will make me sick when they are new. It took me about 2-3 weeks to get used to the slope. I don't slide down it much at all (maybe 6 inches over 8 hours if that) but for those first few weeks I would think that I was sliding the last few hours I slept and wake up like 'ohhh nooo!!" That sensation is gone now. The only complaint I have to spend a lot of my time dozing on and off in bed and I usually sleep with a lot of random stuff in the bed that I need either for work or for comfort - phones, notepad and pen, remote control, hat, scarf, lip gloss. That stuff does tend to slide down now and end up lost in the blankets somewhere near the middle of the bed instead of just hanging out by my pillow where I usually keep it all handy. Totally solvable by getting some kind of bedside table though and totally worth it for the increased restfulness I've been feeling. I like to sleep between two body pillows as well and those do tend to end up at the middle or bottom of the bed - it's half annoying... but half convenient as usually by the time they are at the bottom of the bed, I've been asleep long enough that my back is starting to get sore (I'm talking like 10-12 hours or more) and it's time to put my legs on the pillows to help with the back pain anyway. I think people who don't sleep as long or with all that stuff in their bed won't have an issue lol. For that 2-3 week period of getting used to it I was really wondering if I should have bought the one that only slopes 4 inches but now I'm very very happy with this product! I'll be traveling soon and I really don't know how I'm going to go back to sleeping on a flat surface!

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!

I found this wedge to be perfect for my needs. I bought this to help with sleep apnea, plus I just like to have my head elevated, always have. The 7" elevation seems perfect, I would not want it to be less (5 inches) and any higher and I'd probably start to slide down the bed. I much prefer the full bed wedge verses just the pillow type wedges. I'm more comfortable being able to lie flat as opposed to bending my back to raise my head. Very much a personal choice. I did have one concern from reading the reviews before buying, and that was the firmness or compressibility. For me, being around 180lb, it does not seem to compress at all! Just to be clear, I place the wedge under my mattress, not on top of it. It arrived compressed and rolled up. I unwrapped it and let it swell to full size for a good 8 hours. Then placed it under the mattress and slept on it that night. I did not notice any odor. I'm very happy with this product and recommend it to others. Great quality and performance. Best of luck.

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.

good quality have had these for three yrs still in good shape did NOT compress less than a half inch with a thick 14 inch gel mattress that is very heavy

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.
