Wedge Pillow

I fell on my back & tailbone back in April. I couldn't sleep in my bed due to the pain til I got this wedge pillow which was a lifesaver for me. I used the wedge pillow in my bed & I was able to heal & get a goodnite rest. I also use it in my recliner for my back & the pillow stays cool all the time. This is definitely worth it & it's not expensive.

This past year, my husband's occassional snoring morphed into a nightly test of our twenty year relationship. We tried everything. First, earplugs. I got foam ones. Then silicon ones. Then fancy snorr-stopping pink noise producing ones. I took sleeping pills to try to sleep more deeply, both natural ones and prescription. He tried mouth guards (which worked but gave him jaw pain and migraines), tongue things that looked like adult pacifiers, and just sleeping on the couch. I'd finally settled on foam ear plugs coupled with headband headphones playing pink noise thru my phone. It wasn't perfect, because rthe headband headphones slip around at night and I would wake up and have to readjust, or my phone would just randomly decide I was listening too loud and reduce the volume. But having my husband on the couch was not ideal for anyone. Our house is too small for him to be camping there.So when I finally decided to get him this pillow, I was not expecting a miracle. And it isn't. He hasn't stopped snoring, BUT it has reduced both the frequency and intensity of his snores--from every night log-sawing to occasional soft puttering. I no longer wear my headphone headband. While I still use my foam earplugs, I think that's only because I've grown used to them. I tried to fall asleep without them last night (before my husband was even in bed, but couldn't). That being said, they often fall out as I roll around in bed and since getting this pillow, earplugs or no, I've only had to poke him to roll over once!Does it have a smell? Yes. We left it on the porch for a couple days to let the foam air out. We had a similar experience with our memory foam mattress and our natural latex pillows. If you are sensitive to smells of that kind, it may be a problem for you.Does he slide down? Yes. Sometimes. He's working on figuring out how to stay farther up on the pillow. He rolls from his side to his back pretty regularly and is comfortable sleeping on this pillow in either position.He says it's not necessarily his ideal sleeping position, but that it's not uncomfortable either. Since he also gets acid reflux/heartburn, it's been better for that too. He worried, having previous back problems, that this would hurt his back. But he hasn't had any issues.We have a queen bed and I am the usual bed hog. This pillow hasn't taken up any more of my space. Not that I would care if it did, as long as I can sleep thru the night with my partner beside me!After months of searching, tons of money thrown away, and countless sleepless nights... this has helped us tremendously. As I said, it's not a cure for snoring, but it has reduced it so much that I had to take the time to tap this review out on my phone just to share our results. Try this first!

I bought this because I’ve been suffering from lower back pain for a while, particularly while lying down in bed. A new mattress didn’t help matters so I thought I’d try this. I will say that one night of sleeping on this pillow immediately eliminated my lower back pain. That it accommodates flawlessly.Now the cons:It took me quite a while to figure out how to sleep on this thing. For the first several nights I would wake up either at the bottom of the pillow, having slid down it, or laying with my head on the other side of the bed, off of the pillow entirely. Sleeping on it eventually led to neck pain, so I went back to my memory foam pillow for a couple of nights before I couldn’t take the back pain anymore. For a while, I did two nights on, two nights off of the pillow, alternating which part of my body would hurt the next day. Obviously not ideal.This, along with being a stomach sleeper previously (can’t really do that on an inclined pillow) had me with very mixed emotions toward this pillow.That changed when I got sick for the first time in a long time. When I got sick, I realized I needed my head a bit higher than my neck so I stacked my memory foam pillow on top of the incline pillow and slept through the night for the first time in a very, very long time. I woke with no back or neck pain. I also had no trouble with breathing or coughing despite the cold.Since then, I have been sleeping with both pillows stacked with no problems (aside from not being able to lay on my stomach).It takes some finagling and getting used to, but it does work!

Between full time work, full time college, not working out like normal I've begun a nasty snoring habit. Tried nose strips, nose ring, mouth guard. Nothing made much improvement. Immediately after I tried this pillow I went from snoring 1-1.5 hours a night to 15-25 minutes. I'm pairing it with a new mouth guard. But the improvement was overnight (har har).I'm the image I started the pillow on Wednesday. You can see immediate improvement.

The angle of the pillow and comfort level are great but I’ve just had to put it outside because the smell was SO intense. I’ve been using it for one day and the smell was just so strong it was making me feel unwell. I did some googling and I have it marinating in baking soda outside to try to help - fingers crossed.

Very nice wedge pillow. Would definitely recommend.
