20 Best Wedge Pillow For Back Pain (2023 Updated)

Unique product with no peer in the current marketplace; my wife was sleeping in a recliner after her heart attack, which I understand is very common; this special pillow enabled her to return to sleeping in a bed.

thanks.

This pillow really does help me sleep for longer periods of time now. My issue is not acid re-flux but excessive nasal passageway mucus that plugs up my nose at night while sleeping and wakes me up frequently during the night to have to blow my nose to open it back up.

This pillow elevates my head enough to almost stop this problem completely. Lately if I do have to get up my nose being stopped up is not the reason anymore. I am only getting up once maybe twice a night now and only for a short time then back to bed.

Before it was sometimes four times a night, crazy. This pillow does shift some of your weight onto your hips a little more but it’s not to bad. It just takes a little getting use to it. You will be assimilated, :).

I had to return it due to the size. I ordered another one from your company and I’m waiting to hear when it’s been shipped. Talking to your employee’s was a breeze aboutmaking the return and reordering.

I spoke to, two of your employee’s and they were extremely courteous, kind and very helpful. Needless to say, your company ROCKS and I’ll continue using it!. Susan Wendt.

My husband likes the pillow much better than the previous one. He likes the size (36″ W x32 L”x 7″ H) particularly. He can have the whole torso on the pillow and sleeps sideway easily due to the width (36″) of pillow.

I just love this nüe by Novaform Wedge Pillow with Antimicrobial Cover pillow sleeper and this pillow is great. It gives just enough lift to make you comfortable. I mist sleep with a Wedge pillow every night and this was a good replacement.

It is Great for use with my laptop and watching tv. It works well for my acid reflux because it not to low and to high. Just the right height. Best Wedge pillow ever.

I had hip surgery and could not sleep on my side which was my usual position. After a couple of weeks my back was killing me and I could not sleep at all. Thought I would give this a try. It is pretty large and firm memory foam.

It was perfect because I am fairly tall. Slept like a baby and have been using every night since. One strange thing I now have vivid dreams where as I never dream before.

The pillow is well made and comfortable. The cover is easy to remove for cleaning. For consideration by CPAP users: I bought one of these pillows a while ago to reduce air swallowing while using a CPAP.

That pillow improved the situation somewhat. I bought a second in order to double the angle of incline, simply placing one on top of the other. Works great. I would definitely recommend it.

This has been nice for hubby that snores and has mild sleep apnea and nighttime heartburn. The angle is not too high, and he still uses a pillow on top for softness and to raise it up a bit more. Only “issue” I have, is the cover.

cheap, thin polyester. This means, along with it being foam, you may get hot. They do sell a separate cover and I recommend it, However, I figured out a 100% cotton zippered Euro pillow cover fit it nice and helped, along with another Euro pillow case (100% cotton as well).

It is firm, without feeling like a rock. Had it for 3 months, so far, so good.

Generously sized. Bounces back after using. Easy to remove cover for easy laundering. My husband has to recline w/ his legs higher than his heart. This pillow does it whether in his recliner watching t.

v. or bed. Handles well as it is extremely light but firm. He is very satisfied w/ this product. Shipped promptly.

I went to physical therapy and asked that technician if they had these for sale. they did not. but they shed these address my physical concern, easy to maneuver, well made the extra pillow cover was excellent.

I recommend nice to anyone leg issues back issues or just want to have a relaxing moment. oh and did I say the price was excellent.

After open heart surgery I struggled with my sleep position and comfort. I had to be in my back, but elevated. I had a ton of different pillows, but couldn’t get the right shape to support my back and neck, and still get comfortable enough to fall asleep.

Did a lot of online research to find a solution. This wedge was stiff enough to be a quality product and right height. I did use pillows to soften elevation. I found I needed a knee bolster which prevented me from slipping down the wedge.

All in all, this was a great solution for my needs for a few months.

A good option to replace multiple pillows. This was purchased for my dad who is 88 years old. He has acid reflux and very limited mobility, but he does move at night. We had been using multiple pillows, however, it was hard as you had to reposition them, so not the best option.

While the wedge is not perfect, it is better for him. We still use one pillow as the wedge itself is hard. The 7″ height was much better than the higher one, you can always add a pillow if too low, with the higher one you can’t go lower.

Also, we were surprised that the price here was very reasonable, when compared to other retail options. There is no tax if purchased online while Wellwise retail stores do charge tax. Go figure.

People often say “this or that changed my life” and throw that sentence around so carelessly. But that isn’t the case here. I’m a very big guy trying to lose weight has been a struggle but I have been trying very hard finding a comfortable position to sleep in when you are morbidly obese is very tough the one position that provides me a comfortable sleep is laying on my side.

Now when I go to lay on my side I wake up within 30 to 40 minutes with severe shoulder pain and tingling all over my arm so I can no longer sleep on my side because I’m so heavy. So I decided to try out this med Klein system I’ve seen it advertised for a long time now and I keep saying to myself That I am going to try it one day well I finally did and I am so glad I was able to get a very good sleep laying on my side for the first time in years and I have not looked back.

Now you might be wondering how did this change your life? Well what really changed was I was able to get a good nights sleep eight hours is so important to losing weight so being able to get good sleep for several weeks translated into weight loss and me being able to eat right and stay on track and wake up feeling rested and that led to me being able to go to the gym and work out because I have the energy now and that has led to over 107 pounds lost and I have not looked back or slowed down.

And I can honestly say it all started with the purchase of the system thank you MedCline, you may have saved my life.

I have arthritis pain in both of me shoulders and I sleep with my arm up under my pillow. The pain had gotten so bad I could hardly sleep at all. I was skeptical about this pillow as I have bought several different pillows trying to get a good nights sleep.

Amazingly with this pillow there was little to no adjustment time and I began to sleep very well immediately. This pillow take the pressure off my shoulders so I get a restful nights sleep. I would have given 5 stars but the pillow is very large.

We have a queen size bed that my husband, myself, and cat share so the pillow was using up over half the bed. We worked that out by putting the long side of the body pillow to my right and letting it hang off the bed.

Problem solved.

I purchased this for my Father to assist him after hip surgery. I knew when my Father returned home he would have difficulty laying flat and getting up and out of bed. I figured this was a good way to simulate a hospital reclining bed.

He loved it and now fully recovered still uses it today. The only negative is that the pillow on the top is not tall enough to sit comfortably and watch TV. He’s Six foot tall. He propped a bed pillow behind his head at the top of the wedge pillow cushion.

That made it perfect. He and I DEFINTELY recommend this for someone who needs some help getting in and out of bed or just want to be reclined in bed for TV or reading.

It is a good size and height but it is so firm, I am having trouble adjusting to trying to sleep on something so hard. I am trying to soften it by placing pillows over it. Also although I put pillows under my knees too, it is still a strain on my back and knees to sleep on the wedge.

I tried this out in the store I paired it with the z-gel shoulder pillow by malouf & they were comfortable. So today I got the wedge & the box is so small the wedge is rolled up so tightly that when u open it u can feel the indentations from the wedge being rolled into itself for so long.

It creates craters & a drop down on 1 side of the wedge. Its also has a curve to it from how its rolled into its self the wrapped extremely tight with plastic & put n a small box. It doesn’t have a chemical smell if the memory foam doesn’t smooth out within a day or two its gonna go back for a refund.

In the pics u can see wrinkles n the cover those r all indentations& craters even the height isn’t the same due to the packaging. If it reshapes 2 what it was in the store I’d recommend it. But if it holds the deformities I wouldn’t recommend it.

I got this pillow mainly as a movie pillow and pregnancy pillow and I love it! I let the pillow air out for about a day, and it was fully formed by that time. I am definitely a back-sleeper, which can be a struggle during pregnancy.

I ‘wedge’ this pillow underneath one side of me to support me sleeping on my side. It helps me feel like I am still on my back, but I am inclined just enough to allow full blood circulation. For movie-watching, it is awesome! It puts me on just enough of an incline to where I can watch the movie, and yet still feel relaxed.

I usually just stick a pillow at the top of it for some neck support. It’s big enough that my husband can squeeze on it with me, too. I would highly recommend this product to anyone who likes a little support to be on an incline.

I haven’t been sick since I bought it, but I’m sure it would really help if you had a cold and were having trouble breathing.

I am pleasantly surprised with how firm the wedge pillow is. I think it has the perfect amount of firmness and cushion. I recently had a baby and have been getting a lot of headaches. Before getting the wedge pillow I had to use multiple pillows for the right support I was looking for to get relief.

The wedge pillow has given me the support I was looking for to take the pressure off. I also like when I wake up in the night to feed my baby I just prop the pillow up in bed and it is so comfortable too lean up against while I feed my baby in bed.

My husband sleeps on his side and curled up in a ball and he said the pillow is harder to sleep on when he does that. I think it is best for those who sleep on their backs or on their side if not curled up in a ball.

I also love how soft the pillow cover is on my skin.

Right off the bat, let me say I am not the person who purchased this particular wedge. I purchased the “Brentwood Home Zuma Therapeutic Foam Wedge Pillow, Made in USA, 7-inch” at the beginning of April and was SO happy with the results that I told our neighbor about it.

The one I purchased was perfect for my frame and size. THIS wedge was perfect for our friend. Let me tell you a little bit about his situation so you know just how amazing these wedges can be. Our friend is in his 80s and has had very serious back issues for years.

He’s had multiple surgeries and other various treatments and the pain is still off the charts sometimes. His back was so bad he was sleeping (when he could sleep) in a chair. Getting in and out of bed was too painful.

He can only sleep on his back now and even that was hard. I told him about the wedge I purchased and suggested he try one. I sent my friend the link to the page for the wedge I purchased. He checked everything out and decide on this one because of the size and extra gel foam layer.

It arrived quickly. Well WHAT A DIFFERENCE IT MADE. He is sleeping in his bed now and he says his nighttime pain has been cut in half for the first time in years. First, it makes it possible for him to lay down and sit up.

He had a very hard laying flat and getting back up again was just too much on his own which is why he mostly slept in his chair. It also helped relieve pinched nerve pain and disc issues. He is so happy with the wedge that I just had to let everyone know.

There aren’t a lot of things I get this excited about but these wedge pillows are amazing for people like us who have been suffering with so much pain for so long. Sleep is very important and neither one of us had been getting much of it for some time.

Don’t get me wrong. I’m not saying this is some magic bullet that’s going to make all your pain go away and 70 and 80 year olds feel like 20 year olds again. But when you’ve been suffering from back pain for years and years and sleep has become a hard commodity to come by, you’re in 7th heaven when you can get a decent night’s sleep again.

I know this review might seem like a commercial. I don’t work for anyone, I haven’t been compensated, no one is twisting my arm. I’m just an old lady who got a little of her life back because I can usually get a decent night’s sleep now using my wedge pillow.

My neighbor has had similar results. Every time I talk to him now he raves about the pillow. He’s not one to write reviews so I wanted you to know what this pillow did for him.

I ordered this for comfort when reading. It is great help. The only negative comment I can make is that I had to use king size pillowcase that barely fitted this pillow. Please, offer compatible pillowcases when selling pillow like this one.

The is not a wedge pillow, to me it’s similar to a body pillow. The pillow is too large and very uncomfortable. Also beware this item is being sold by a 3rd party and cannot be returned instore, I overlooked that part :(.

I gave it just 4 stars instead of 5 just for 1 reason; the memory foam used should be softer. With time you get used to it. Aside from that, I am more than satisfied with it. The quality is excellent, no strange odor, it keeps its shape.

I bought the 4 pieces system. The headrest is too big to sleep on it, but I used it as arm rest, especially if I rest in a high position. I have tried all the positions possibles with the leg rest, without it, very high, etc.

I read on comments about people sliding down the pillow. If you use the leg rest, you will not slide at all. I change sides during the night, I move a lot, and I wake up in the same place I was when went to sleep.

Another thing, people were asking about extra covers. Since I didn’t find them online, I called them and ask; their answer was they would sell it if someone ask for it. The picture shows the best position for me.

So I bought this product from wal-mart not on Amaizon but I thought I would leave a review on both! I purchased this product because I have a lower back injury (l4 l5 disc extrusion with sevier spinal snltenosis) for the past month I have been unable to sleep in my own bed due to the fact I couldn’t lay flat because it causes me pain so I’ve been sleeping in my recliner.

I was tired of sleeping in my recliner so I surched for a bed wedge and found this! I LOVE THIS PRODUCT! ive only been using it for a dew days but I’m happy to say I have been able to sleep in bed! Once ive figured out which position was comfortable to sleep in it shire made a world of difference! So the wedges are very comfortable! I do find I wiggle down a little but if you wedge the foot cousin right it helps prevent you from sliding.

So all in all this is a great product and if you have lower back problems I think it would be benifical to help with sleeping in comfort!.

I use this in my van it helps my lower back to be angled properly to avoid lower back pain. I have used them for years but usually get them from my Chiroprator. I just ordered this one directly since I knew they work.

They do wear out or breakdown over time which only makes sense. I probably get a new one approximately every 6 months. My lower back usually lets me know when I need a new one. Anyway I find they work great and this one was exactly like the ones I have gotten from my Chiropractor.

He is he one that recommended it and it does work wonderfully.

I suffer from acid reflex when I lay down. I wake up coughing, gasping and sometimes throwing up. Until I bought this pillow, I had to get up in the night and finish off sleeping in my recliner. I am now able to sleep all night in my bed without any issues.

The only reason I did not give it a 5 star is because it is on the hard side. I use my soft bed pillow with it and it works great. It is a bit overpriced.

Took these out of the bags (ordered 2), and both smell like solvent. So bad we can’t have them in the same room with us. The covers feel greasy, and leave a slightly slick film on our fingers if we touch them.

Washed the covers with shampoo (to get the oiliness out), and the now smell and feel great, but no idea what we’ll do to get the foam smelling better. We’ve been airing them out for more than a week, and it is still so bad it triggers chemical reactions.

Wish the hazmat warning had been on the product description!.

I have a lot of issues with indigestion and have to sleep upright. Using piled up pillows never worked well as they compacted down during the night so that I woke up in severe pain every morning. With this I can sleep upright and wake up with my back just fine.

Though it is a bit taller and wider than necessary I highly recommend it to anyone looking to support their back to read, work or sleep upright in bed.
