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

I purchased this incline foam support to elevate my mattress as mentioned in a Dr Mercola article and inclinedbedtherapy.com to see if it helps with a variety of things. I purchased the king size. I liked it so much that I recommended it to my mother, mother-in-law and brother-in-law. Each purchased one (total of 2 queens and 1 full). They all arrived quicker than anticipated and in great shape. The packing is great to unroll and you need to let it sit out to get into shape. I let them sit out 4 or 5 hours. They have no odor which I appreciate. I find this is a great solution to raising the head of the bed without having to put blocks or whatever under the bed and it does not put strain on my king size metal bed frame. It has a 6” difference between head and foot. This mattress has helped with my husband’s plantar fasciitis and circulation in my feet. You may need to give it time to adjust or see some results. After a week of sleeping on the inclined mattress, I noticed I wasn’t getting up at 3am to go to the bathroom. In the short time they have used this product, it has helped with my mother-in-law’s acid reflux, and has helped my brother-in-law fall asleep faster at night. The “negatives”? It changes the look of the bed if you are picky about that sort of thing. When I see the inclined mattress - it actually makes me look forward to going to bed! Also, my mother-in-law, who is 82 and petite, mentioned that it is more difficult to get in bed with the additional inches/height. This may not be a problem if one has a lower bed frame, thinner mattress or just uses something safe to step on. Also, we experienced a little overhang of product at the end of the bed but a fitted mattress hides it. I would highly recommend this product and find that it is a great solution at a reasonable price for inclining my bed.

I have to say that this is the best thing I have ever purchased on Amazon. I love it and it has probably saved my life. I haven't slept deeply in a couple of years. Just toss and turn and never feel like I am completely asleep. The very first night I slept on it, I slept deeply and comfortably all night. It's been the same every night since I started sleeping on it. I wake up feeling like I've had enough sleep. That's a big change for me. I put it between the mattress and box springs and It's very comfortable and doesn't flatten at all. I have a latex, really heavy mattress and it still measures 7 inches. I don't slide down and the covers don't. My cat likes it too. He usually sleeps in his bed on the floor but has started sleeping on my bed, One of the first things I noticed, other than sleeping so well was that my nose isn't stuffy anymore at night and I haven't had any leg or foot cramps at night. I think every one should have one of these. Check out " Inclined Bed Therapy " on You Tube and you will see why.

This 7" foam mattress wedge was received in a very timely manner and in excellent shape. It was well packaged and was easily unpackaged, unrolled, and quickly installed between our mattress and box spring. We have a King Size bed, which is actually split with two Twin XL mattresses, so installation of the two foam pieces that make it a King went well. So, from a product quality standpoint, I'd say it is excellent and physically as described. It has only been installed for a week, so it is probably too early to say how well it works in addressing my wife's acid reflux and snoring - but so far, so good. The only "warning" (which really should be obvious), is that it does raise your mattress by 7" at the head end, so if your bed is already somewhat high, or you are on the short side, it may be difficult to get into bed without a foot stool! Also, I will confirm what others have mentioned - there is a tendency to slide down somewhat overnight, but we have not found that to be too much of a problem.

We bought this as our GI doctor recommended raising the head-end of our bed to reduce nightly acid reflux attacks. It works fine for that purpose and is truly a God-send in that regard. My only complaint is that while the slope is barely noticeable when first lying down, I find when I wake up in the morning that I have slid down to the bottom of our king-size mattress. I'm 5'11" and weigh 180 pounds, if that matters. I toss and turn a bit at night and each toss or turn also results in a slight downward slide. It's not much but it adds up. However, on balance, I'm willing to accept that in exchange for the benefit of no acid reflux attacks since installing it. (Note: I'd like to have tried the 5" model but shipping this back on an exchange is near impossible given it's gigantic size and no manageable way to re-compress it for shipping. )

Trying to resolve positional sleep apnea and GERD. One of the suggested things to do is to raise the head of your bed. This seemed like a better solution as well as a chance to give some idea of what an adjustable bed would be like. I've tried wedge pillows in the past but it just doesn't seem as helpful to have just your upper body elevated. You don't really notice the incline using this option other than getting into bed. Seems to be helping - very glad I bought this.

The mattress elevator/wedge did help with my breathing. But I did stop using it eventually because I started to get hip pain from the position changes. But everybody is different so it is a reasonable thing to try if someone needs to elevate their bed. But, I would recommend getting recommendations from a physician and also to be sure about this item before removing it from the box on arrival. Once out of box it will be a horrible (& unsuccessful) experience getting it back in box. And my experience is that I have to wait till a “bulk trash pickup” from City and these only occur twice a year.

Best thing I ever did for myself. The incline has made my heartburn practically disappear, and has helped my back pain because I can now let my mattress do its job instead of lying on an uncomfortable pile of pillows. I should have asked for help putting them under my mattress, though! Getting them on the bed platform was easy, but putting the mattress back on top was NOT. The extra friction added by the foam really made that a two person job.

These are bulky, hard as a rock, and the company’s customer service is horrible. When I attempted a return I was told by the company to “Wrap a rope around them and pay for return and 20% restocking fee.” They arrived vacuumed sealed, so they won’t go bank in the box. All around a terrible experience. Update; I tried to use the Amazon A to Z for help with a refund. After multiple attempts and threatening to drop Prime, Amazon gave me a gift card and left me with the risers. After 20 yrs with Amazon we no longer buy larger or bulky items from Amazon. We also not buy from 3rd party sellers on Amazon. By the way there is a notice stating most people return these list well below their add page. The refund/return policy is not listed anywhere on the sellers page. Lastly the reviews make this product seem better than it actually is; how can it be “returned frequently” yet have all four star reviews……

Great product . Works well.!

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

This foam under mattress wedge puts the whole mattress at a gentle incline and works really well to prevent reflux. It was shipped on time and was easy to set up. There was an issue with the cover not fitting properly and the company was great in arranging a refund promptly so I give them thumbs up for that. Overall very happy with this product ...we have adjusted to the incline no problem...it is a great solution for reflux while still having a good night's sleep. Thank you Avana

Très efficace pour régler les problèmes de reflux gastriques. Améliore le sommeil .Facile de s’adapter à l’inclinaison.Facile à installer.Ne s’affaisse pas sous le poids du matelas même si le matelas est très lourd. Le foam n’arrive pas recouvert comme sur la photo. Très satisfaite de cet achat😃😃

Under mattress elevation works for our health concerns: GERD and getting a good night's sleep. Thank you!
