Editorial Reviews:

Heartburn, snoring, coughing, and more can turn a good nights sleep into a nightmare if you suffer from acid reflux, asthma, sleep apnea, Hiatal Hernia, sinus congestion, breathing problems and more. But sleeping on a MedSlantTM torso length pillow that elevates your entire upper body and uses gravity to keep acid down and airways open, heartburn free, snoreless sleep drug free can be a dream come true. The innovative patented design is physician endorsed and recommended and made of hypoallergenic foam covered in a washable, removable zippered cover, includes an extra pillow case. and folds into a handy zippered, handled travel bag that will fit in the overhead bin on an airplane or under the seat in front of you. The 32 length supports your entire torso and wont put extra pressure on your stomach like a shorter pillow will. You can use whatever kind of personal pillow you like and get a healthier, more comfortable nights sleep.

Summary: wedge pillow for acid reflux
Comment: I thought the wedge pillow was awfully expensive, but I am extremely happy with it. I'm glad I took the risk and spent the extra money to get a quality product that works well for me. I'm expecially pleased with the height and width, as well as the slant of the pillow.
It has helped me breathe better while sleeping (as I have mild sleep apnea), as well as helping ease lower back pain so I can sleep better. I've actually looked for an acceptable product like this for a long time.
The other things I've looked at did not meet my needs. I am grateful for this product. Thanks MEDSLANT!

Summary: Compact Packaging- but too small for this GERD sufferer
Comment: 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.

Summary: Wedge Pillow for Acid Reflux & GERD
Comment: I love to sleep on my sides. Sometimes I wake up on my back coughing & choking. I have Acid Reflux, GERD. I finally decided to buy the Wedge when I woke up one night & thought I was going to choke to death. It works. I don't wake up coughing/choking.
At first, I kept sliding down the pillow. I even tried using several of my contour pillows. But it was too high & my neck was uncomfortable. After 2 weeks of finding myself at the bottom of the wedge, I was frustrated that I spent over $100 on a pillow that was not working for me. But I refuse to waste that money. So, in desperation, I decided to try using my flat pillow (for hugging in my sleep.) It works!
Now that I was sleeping elevated - on my back- my head would tilt down awkwardly at night. I would wake up in the mornings with a stiff neck. By 8:00am, I had a tension headache. By 12:00noon, I had a major headache. This would happen every time I woke up with the stiff neck. So, I was back to square one- the Wedge wasn't working. But I refuse to give up that $100.00. Then I remembered that I have the U-shaped pillow that I take when I travel on the airplane. I lay on my back, put the U-shape over the top of my head, and the U-shape arms cradle both sides of my head. This actually helps to keep my head straight while sleeping on my back. It no longer tilts to the side because the pillow is cradling my head. No more stiff neck! No more headaches or coughing or choking.
I definitely recommend this Wedge. If at first you find it difficult to stay on it, just keep trying to find ways to make it work.
Umm...I really do miss sleeping on my sides. Have anyone figured out how to sleep on your side and Not slide down?

Summary: Good for Acid Reflux But Not Very Comfy
Comment: 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.
