Item Description
The way that acid reflux and GERD wedge pillows work is simple. Acid can leak out of the stomach and into the esophagus more easily when a person is sleeping on their back and using a standard pillow. A wedge pillow slightly elevates the head, shoulders, and torso to prevent this from happening. When the upper body is elevated, gravity makes it less likely for stomach contents to come back up into the esophagus.
You can use a wedge pillow while sleeping on your side or on your back without causing any tension in the head or neck. Most pillows on the market are elevated between 30 to 45 degrees, or six to eight inches at the top.
Wedge pillows for acid reflux and GERD are sturdy and ergonomically designed. As time passes, however, they will lose their shape and firmness. You will likely have to replace your wedge pillow with another one after several years.
