Using wedge pillows to keep acid reflux from ruining your sleep

Acid reflux can spell disaster for your sleep. That burning sensation in your throat is uncomfortable and can be particularly unwelcome when you’re looking for some shut-eye. In fact, it is more likely to wreak havoc at bedtime. Why? We can blame gravity. Heartburn happens with acid indigestion. When lying down, the acid finds it easier to travel from the stomach and up the throat. Knowing that, we can also use gravity to combat heartburn. That’s where wedge pillows can come in handy. 

Heartburn is no fun at any time of the day. But at night, it can be a real issue. When lying down, gastric acid finds it even easier to travel up towards your throat, creating an uncomfortable burning sensation - not a good recipe for a peaceful night’s sleep. 

If you don’t want to have to reach for your medicine cabinet every time a bout of acid reflux strikes, this guide has a simple solution - the acid reflux pillow!
