Extra Cover For This Pillow: While this pillow already includes a pillow cover, you can get an extra Wedge Pillow Cover so you always have a freshly clean cover while the soiled one is being washed. Get a Wedge Pillow Cover.

This Bed Wedge Pillow is also available in a Deluxe/Ultra-Comfort Memory Foam Wedge Pillow, which is 100% memory foam.

Product Description & Benefits:
Shown in: 25" x 24" x 12"
The Memory Foam Bed Wedge Pillow (available in different heights; includes a pillow cover) has a layer of visco elastic memory foam that responds to the body's temperature through the transfer of body heat, resulting in a pillow surface that is shaped like your body. The wedge pillow is specially designed with an incline design to provide proper alignment and keep your affected swollen areas (facial and/or body areas) comfortably elevated in an angle that is optimal for reducing swelling. Following surgery, it is recommended to be perpetually elevated in an approximate 30-45 degree position from the bed because this enables optimal blood circulation to all the vital healing areas and helps reduce the swelling. The bed wedge comes with a cover that has a zipper closure for easy removing and washing. Available in different heights.

Many patients find the bed wedge to be a superior and more comfortable elevation solution compared to putting oneself above pillows on a bed. A primary advantage of the bed wedge relative to pillows is that it is sturdy so that you can comfortably sleep without having to worry about slipping off as you would with pillows. Additionally, with the bed wedge you have no need to periodically rearrange your pillows if they shift around. Further, the bed wedge will not give rise to any tension and stress that you might feel from having empty spaces between your body and your pillows when you’re propped up on your bed. Since the bed wedge can be moved around, you can use it to be in elevation wherever you are – whether you’re in your bed, relaxing on a sofa, or on any other area of the house.

Beyond using the bed wedge during your recovery, this product is a great addition to your everyday life and can be used to elevate the head for breathing comfort, pressure relief, to elevate the feet for relief of swelling, to help with acid reflux disease and acid indigestion, and for the treatment of hiatal hernia. Moreover, people use the bed wedge to avoid sleeping and putting pressure on the face, which may contribute to wrinkling in the long-run. Ultimately, the bed wedge can be used daily for reading, relaxing or watching TV.

Other Comfort Pillows: To maximize your comfort during recovery, a good number of patients use a U-Shaped Pillow to have neck support and reduce the strain on the head and neck muscles while laying down on the bed wedge. The U-Shaped Pillow also helps to stabilize the neck and head while resting and sleeping during recovery.

Instructions For Use: You can place the bed wedge on top of your bed, sofa, or on any other surface that you wish to lay down on. You can use the wedge pillow in both its flat long position to lay down, or tall position to sit up. You may use the bed wedge to stay elevated during the initial phase of your recovery. It is recommended to stay elevated on the bed wedge as long as swelling is considerable in the affected areas.

Applicable Procedures: Body Lifts, Breast Augmentation, Breast Reduction, Breast Lift, Chemical Peel, Dermabrasion, Eyelid Surgery (Upper, Lower), Face lift, Laser Skin Resurfacing, Liposuction, Nose Surgery (Rhinoplasty), Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty), Breathing comfort, Swollen feet, Pressure relief, Post-Surgery Relief, Acid reflux disease, Acid indigestion, C-Section, Hiatal hernia.

Too Firm and Way Too Elevated For Sleeping
By ccpaly, November 20, 2008

What are the benefits/plusses of this product? None

What are the disadvantages/minuses of this product? No support for the neck

Review: I would not advise buying the 12" pillow since it is so uncomfortable There is no support for the neck and way too firm to get a good night's sleep. When I woke up the next morning my back and hips were hurting too.

The most comfortable pillow he's ever slept on
By juicyfruit, September 25, 2008

What are the benefits/plusses of this product? comfortable, useful

What are the disadvantages/minuses of this product? wish there was a kid's size, pillow case should be more durable

Review: For the price, the pillow-case could be sturdier, and an extra one could be included. For now, a crib-size sheet does the trick. I originally bought the pillow to alleviate my 4-year-old son's reflux. It certainly rai...(read more)

Too firm for me
By sburson, February 21, 2007

What are the benefits/plusses of this product? Can't say; I couldn't use it

What are the disadvantages/minuses of this product? Too firm

Review: Like lying on a slab. I don't sink into it at all. Might be right for a heavier person, I guess. But, I hate firm mattresses; I like them really soft, so if you're a firm-mattress person, this review may not apply to ...(read more)

What are the disadvantages/minuses of this product? non found at this time

Review: This pillow is much firmer than the average pillow. But with the angle. It really works for me. If I lay flat the nasel passage tends to close. At this angle I stay open all night.
