Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a bed wedge pillow?
A bed wedge is a firm triangular pillow that elevates your upper body or legs on the mattress without stacking unstable pillows.
Can a wedge pillow help with acid reflux?
Many people use an upper-body wedge so the torso sits slightly elevated, which can feel more comfortable if reflux bothers them when lying flat. It is a comfort support, not a medical device or treatment.
How do I use a wedge pillow for sleep?
Place the thick end under the head/shoulder area for torso elevation, or under the legs for leg elevation — use the product images for the intended orientation.
What size bed wedge do I need?
Choose by the elevation height stated on this product and whether you want upper-body or leg lift; one wedge is usually enough for a single sleeper.
Is this the same as a pregnancy wedge?
Pregnancy-specific wedges are smaller and aimed at bump/hip support; a full bed wedge is for whole-torso or leg elevation. Use the product title and guide links if you need pregnancy shapes instead.
What is delivery and returns?
UK delivery and returns follow the estimates and policy shown in the buy panel and Delivery & returns block on this page.
Which material should I choose?
The wedge pillow is available with three different comfort options:
- Standard Foam – a soft yet supportive foam with a responsive feel.
- Memory Foam Topper – includes a 1" memory foam layer that adapts gradually to body shape.
- Graphite Latex Topper – a natural latex blend with graphite designed to help regulate temperature and provide a resilient sleeping surface.
The memory foam and graphite latex options include a comfort layer on the top section of the wedge.
What size should I choose if I share a bed?
The wedge is available in several widths. Many people choose the size based on the width of their bed.
- 24" (61 cm) – commonly chosen for use on a shared double bed.
- 30" (76 cm) – suitable for wider beds.
- 36" (91.5 cm) – provides a wider support area.
Measuring the available space on your mattress can help determine the most comfortable width.
Can the wedge be placed under the mattress?
No. This wedge pillow is designed to be placed on top of the mattress. It can be used under your pillow or directly under the upper body.
What is the height of the bed wedge?
The wedge has a height of approximately 6" (15 cm), creating a gradual incline when placed on the mattress.
Can side sleepers use the wedge?
Yes. The wedge can be used by both back and side sleepers depending on personal comfort preferences.
How can the wedge pillow be used?
The wedge pillow can be used in several ways, including:
- Placed under a pillow for elevated sleeping
- Used behind the back when sitting in bed
- Placed under the legs for elevation and support
What angle is best for a wedge pillow?
30-45 degree incline (6-8 inches height) provides optimal elevation for reflux and breathing. Lower angles (15-20°) work for reading/TV; higher angles (45-60°) for severe reflux or respiratory conditions.

Study finding
Clinical trial with 20cm wedge pillow (20° angle) showed significant improvement in reflux symptom scores: MD −5.1 (95% CI −7.6 to −2.6) vs control

Head-of-bed elevation could be considered as a cheap and safe alternative to drug interventions with unfavourable safety profiles for relieving gastroesophageal reflux symptoms.

Bed Wedge Pillow for Acid Reflux and Elevated Sleeping
A stable incline that does not need rebuilding
The firm wedge creates a consistent raised surface, unlike stacked pillows that can compress, separate or move during use.
Fixed elevation
The angled foam holds one continuous slope beneath the body.
Broad support area
The wide surface distributes support instead of concentrating it at one edge.
Multi-position use
Use the wedge for supported rest in bed or on another stable surface.
