Customer Reviews of Bed Wedge - 7" - Foam Wedge Pillow. Good for Acid Reflux, Snoring
Customer Review: Ideal for Small to Medium Frame Builds
Summary: 3 Stars
I suffer from Acid Reflux and my doctor recommended elevating the head of the bed or using a bed wedge. I tried pillows and found them to be very uncomfortable. This bed wedge works as advertised but is a little too short (length) and narrow (Width). This makes it a bit uncomfortable, specially on the lower back and arms. Its a great improvement from using pillows to create an incline but my arms hang down the sides and I had to add to the length by using pillows in the end. Based on the wear patters on it now I anticipate having to replace it in 3 - 6 months.
A longer and wider bed wedge would be much better. I found a wider and longer bed wedge online and intent to purchase it when this one wears out.
Pros:
<> Better than using pillows to create an incline.
<> Comfortable if you have a small to medium upper body frame.
Cons:
<> Too short (Length). I had to add to length using pillows in order to be able to use it comfortably without back pain.
<> Too narrow (Width)so arms hang down the sides.
<> Only one pillow cover.
<> Wear pattern after one month of use leads me to believe this wedge will have a 3-6 month life span.
<> Flimsy zipper on pillow cover.
If money is an issue this will do fine. If you can affort to spend $150-200 there is a wider, longer, better constructed pillow on the market with a longer warranty.
UPDATE: March 5, 2011
As I suspected the foam has compacted and is now uncomfortable to use. I will be replacing it with another product. Don't expect it to last for more that 3-6 months.
