Heartburn at night? Here's what you can do about it (without medication!)

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!

Find out how this supportive pillow can help you keep heartburn at bay while you sleep.

Can a pillow really help relieve heartburn?

With one in four UK adults being affected by the condition, it’s safe to say that it’s a common ailment. Numerous studies concluded that head of bed elevation was a suitable solution for GERD/GORD. 

The manufacturers at Putnams created the best-selling bed wedge that is trusted by leading healthcare providers, including the NHS. Tilted at an angle, these pillows lift your upper body, so you are not lying flat. Thanks to the power of gravity, the acid has a harder time leaving your stomach. 

It's time to ditch your heartburn relief pills and potions. Instead, try this super comfy pillow, available with memory foam support. 

There are also a number of lifestyle changes you can make to reduce the likelihood of experiencing symptoms. These include reducing your alcohol intake and smoking less. 

If problems persist, it could be worth consulting with your healthcare provider for advice.
