InteVision Bed Wedge Pillow (33" x 30.5" x 7.5")

I ordered this wedge pillow to help relieve night time acid reflux. I waited to write this review because I knew it would take a few weeks to see if it was really going to help. Well, I've had it now for two months and I have to say it has basically eliminated the reflux! I feel so much better when I wake up in the morning now.I also like that it is wider than another pillow that I bought at a local store (and returned after 2 nights). I'm a side sleeper and with this pillow being wider I don't feel like I'm falling off the edge when I roll over from one side to the other during the night. We have a queen size bed so it does cover about have of the width of the bed. My husband complained that he felt crowded so I just make sure that the pillow is even with the edge of the mattress on my side of the bed.Occasionally I do slide down some but I think that's just plain gravity and not the fault of the pillow. It took a about a week for me to get used to being propped up and to break in the pillow so it didn't seem so firm. Now I wonder how I'm going to sleep when I am out of town and not in my own bed with "my pillow". I also ordered the 400 thread count cover for it which is softer than the cover that comes on it.If you have reflux at night you need to try this pillow!Update to my original review: I've now used this pillow for almost 2 years. It has not compressed or lost any resilience. I do still slide down occasionally but I'm sure that's just how I'm sleeping on those particular nights. I really like the extra width and length. I tried a narrower one at first but I kept falling off the sides. I'm a side sleeper and it didn't give me anywhere to support my arms/elbows. The extra length also gives better support to my lower back. My husband made a few comments at first that it didn't give him much room on his side of our queen size bed. I'm not even sure why he complained since he sleeps on the edge of the bed anyway.The extra pillow case cover has been washed in the washer and dried in the dryer every time I change the sheets and is holding up very well. The only complaint I have with it is that It is somewhat loose fitting.We recently purchased a vacation home and I'll be ordering one to use on my bed there. I'll probably order the dark blue since that color will fit better with my "cabin" color scheme. Still highly recommend this pillow!

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.
