Customer Review: Compact Packaging- but too small for this GERD sufferer
Summary: 2 Stars
Having had severe silent nighttime GERD, finding a good bed wedge is absolutely critical for waking without the tell tale sore throat. For about a year I have been using a product called the BEDGE. This has worked great. These are available online but cost $200.
I tried this product since I wanted a second bed wedge for a summer home. The price on this is a lot less than the BEDGE so I thought I would give it a try. Item arrived in a timely manner. It is a great design, the folding design is novel for storage and the packaging was superb. Much better than the beat up box I received from BEDGE. However, I have to say it is simply too small for me. I am a 6' 210lb man and this just feels too small. While it curbed my GERD somewhat, it is not as effective as the much larger BEDGE pillow I have at home.
If you are more petite that me, this may work. If you need something for traveling- this is your item. But, if you are a larger frame- I recommend a bigger pillow.
Customer Review: Not one good night of sleep on this thing!
Summary: 1 Stars
First, please accept my apologies if my review seems grumpy. Lack of sleep can make me irritable.
I purchased this because my doctor said I had to sleep with my head raised to a level higher than my stomach due to gastritis. I have had this pillow for 3 weeks and have not had a single good night of sleep on it.
First let me say that I sleep on my back so I thought this would be a great cure and something I would hardly notice. Not so, my lower back aches from the angle. I find myself sliding down the pillow during the night. I toss and turn and just cannot stay in a deep sleep.
After 3 weeks I am tossing this pillow off the bed and can't wait to get a full, deep, luxurious night of sleep. This thing is pure torture to me. We will search for another way to help me with my gastritis but this way is not for me.
Oh, it did help my gastritis but the lack of sleep and extreme back pain is impacting the rest of my work and home life.
Customer Review: Good for Acid Reflux But Not Very Comfy
Summary: 3 Stars
Got the Wedge about 2 weeks ago as I have been suffering from GERD for the past two years; I found it helpful in reducing my symptoms at night, but I started having neck pain and backaches, as I do not find the pillow very supportive or comfortable, and I felt some pressure points at the back of my head and my lower spine. So, I did some more research and I found a WONDERFUL wedge pillow - it's called the Prop-Up-Pillow ([...]) It's more expensive but it's worth it -it's made of memory foam, it has an adjustable neck and an adjustable lower back support, plus it's slightly wider than the Medslant. It was patented by a long-time acid reflux suffering patient. I am now using the Medslant to prop up my legs after a long day, but with the Prop-Up-Pillow I can now take care of my GERD and wake up well-rested.Customer Review: A Great Solution for Acid Reflux at Night
Summary: 5 Stars
I had my first serious episode of acid reflux a few weeks ago, and although I tried PPI therapy as well as strict diet and lifestyle modifications, I was still experiencing some reflux symptoms at night. The only thing that I didn't try was elevating my upper body at night, mostly because I didn't want to make my husband sleep on a slanted bed. I decided to give this pillow a try, and it's made a huge difference! I've been symptom-free ever since I began sleeping on the pillow, and I've been able to reduce the amount of antacid medication that I take. To me, it's not as comfortable as sleeping without any elevation, but it's certainly comfortable enough to get a good night's sleep. For those struggling with chronic heartburn, this product is definitely worth a try.Customer Review: medslant pillow
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this pillow because my sister said she bought the same one off Amazon but she lives in London. When I first got the pillow it seemed like cheap foam so I was disappointed and wanted to send it back. I then realized I couldn't send it back because it was a pillow. I did finally get connected to someone at Medslant who was very thorough in explaining the foam and its density and quality. So, I tried the pillow for a few nights and found it to be very comfortable. It did seem to help me with my reflux. I would probably buy this product again if the price was lower. I feel this pillow is over priced and would expect it to be around $59.99. The outer cover is necessary for comfort and washability. I was happy they sent me another cover to rotate for washing.
