Wedge pillows to keep acid reflux from ruining your sleep

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. 

Acid reflux wedge pillows for a better night’s sleep

These pillows are tilted at an angle, ranging between 30 and 45 degrees. For acid reflux, it’s recommended that you choose a pillow with a 35 - 40-degree angle. They sit about 8 to 10 inches above the mattress’s surface. This should produce the optimum results. With a firm shape, they maintain a sturdy structure that offers comfort and support. 

There are several widths available to suit your sleeping preferences and bed size. Below, we’re showcasing some of our bestsellers that are loved by customers.
