The 10 Best Sleeping Wedges For Acid Reflux

Sleeping with it takes some getting used to, as the MedCline Relief System (appx. $249) consists of a body pillow and a wedge with a cutout in it for you to slip your arm through, but once you get acclimated to it, you're likely to wake up pain-free all over.

The CozyZone Support (appx. $30) comes with a replacement cover, enabling you to put off doing laundry for a day or two without having to sleep on a stinky pillow, or providing a handy replacement if the primary one gets damaged by the washing machine (or your dog).

The memory foam inside the DMI Elevation (around $29) is remarkably resilient, as it's able to hold its shape over extended use. You can lie on it as much as you like with the security of knowing that it will be as good as new when you're ready for it the next night.

Sciatica sufferers should take a look at the Original Bamboo SmartSLANT (around $44), as you can place it in various spots under your back to ease pressure on your vertebrae and lumbar. If you prefer to put it beneath your neck, it will hold it at a slight and comfortable elevation.

Designed specifically for side sleepers, the Avana Contoured (about $99) has a ridge near the top that cradles your head instead of holding it rigidly in place. If you don't want to wake up with a crick in your neck, it definitely warrants serious consideration.

There's a firm polyurethane base on the FitPlus Premium (appx. $33), but that's topped with an inch and a half of soft memory foam, giving you the best of both worlds. If that's still not enough for you, any additional pillows you put on top of it will stay in place well.

The foam inside the Malouf ZA (about $39) is naturally hypoallergenic and dust mite resistant, so you can put your head down with confidence that you won't be placing it in a bug party. The bamboo-velour cover is washable, as well, making it perfect for neat freaks.

The Xtreme Comforts XW (about $45) holds your entire upper body in a straight line, taking any strain off your neck and shoulders and promoting correct alignment. Not only does this help with heartburn, but it can also reduce snoring, so both partners can sleep at night.

The Xtra-Comfort Triangle (appx. $60) is actually two pillows in one, as the traditional wedge can be bolstered by a smaller, triangular-shaped model that Velcros to it. It's great for adjusting your angle when you transition from watching TV to sleeping, or for multiple users.

At 28 inches — half as wide as a queen-sized bed — the MedSlant Big (appx. $100) certainly lives up to its name. It gives you plenty of room to roll around, as well as accommodating virtually any sleeping style, so you'll stay comfortable all night long.
