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.
When will it arrive?
UK delivery usually takes 2–4 calendar days from ordering, including processing and weekends. Delivery is free on orders of £39 or more, or £5 below that. Check the estimated delivery dates beside the price for this item.
Can I return it?
Contact us within 14 days of delivery, then send the item back within a further 14 days. You pay change-of-mind return postage; we cover return postage for faulty, damaged or incorrect items. See our refund policy for full conditions, including inspection rights, hygiene-seal exceptions and refund timings.
What is a bed wedge used for?
A bed wedge pillow creates an inclined sleeping position that can make resting in bed more comfortable.
Can this wedge be folded for travel?
Yes. The hinged design allows the wedge to fold in half for easier storage and transportation.
What material is the wedge made from?
The wedge contains a supportive foam base with a memory foam comfort layer and a removable poly-cotton cover.
Can this wedge be used for sitting up in bed?
Yes. Many people use a wedge pillow as back support while reading, watching television or relaxing in bed.
Is a travel bag included?
A travel bag with a handle may be selected as an optional accessory for easier transport.
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.

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.
