Putnams Bed Wedge

Transform Your Sleep with the Putnams Bed Wedge

When you lie flat on your back, gravity works directly against your body. Without elevation, stomach acid easily flows upward into the esophagus, airway tissues relax and collapse into the throat, and the natural S-curve of your spine flattens against the mattress.

This leads to frequent nighttime awakenings, chronic acid reflux, loud snoring, poor circulation, and persistent back stiffness that disrupt your essential sleep cycles. Sleeping on a medically recommended gentle incline uses gravity to your advantage, keeping gastric juices safely in your stomach and maintaining an open airway so you wake up feeling truly rested instead of exhausted.

Key Health Benefits of Incline Sleep

• Reduces Acid Reflux & Alleviates Heartburn: Elevating your upper body creates a physical gravity barrier that prevents stomach acid and digestive enzymes from traveling up into the esophagus, eliminating burning chest discomfort and morning throat irritation.

• Minimises Snoring & Sleep Apnea Symptoms: Raising the head and torso keeps airway passages naturally open, preventing soft tissues in the throat from collapsing and reducing the vibration that causes disruptive snoring.

• Improves Posture & Spine Alignment: Supporting your natural spinal curvature while resting relieves pressure points along the lumbar region, shoulders, and neck, allowing muscles to fully relax overnight.

• Boosts Blood & Fluid Circulation: An inclined positioning encourages healthy venous blood flow back to the heart, reducing fluid retention, swollen feet, and leg inflammation.

• Supports Back, Legs & Lower Body: Versatile contoured support helps relieve pressure on lower back discs and hip joints, making it ideal for recovery from injury, surgery, or chronic joint pain.

Why Choose the Putnams Bed Wedge?

Frequently Asked Questions

Which material (Standard, Memory Foam, or Latex) is right for me?

• Standard: Best for those who prefer firm, resilient support or primarily use the wedge for leg elevation.

• Memory Foam: Ideal for back sleepers looking for enhanced pressure relief around the shoulders and shoulder blades.

• Latex: Best for hot sleepers, offering natural breathability, temperature regulation, and hypoallergenic properties.

Which width should I choose (24" vs 36" width)?

• 24" Width: Ideal for single beds, compact spaces, or individual sleeping on one side of a larger mattress.

• 36" Width: Perfect for wider support on double, king, or super king beds, offering extra room to turn comfortably without rolling off the incline.

What angle or incline is best for acid reflux and snoring?

A torso elevation between 11 and 15 degrees (typically a 6-inch lift) is widely recommended by specialists. This angle provides sufficient gravity resistance to control reflux and open airways without causing you to slide down the bed.

Can I use a bed wedge pillow if I am a side sleeper?

Yes. Putnams bed wedges are designed to support both back and side sleepers. Side sleepers can pair the wedge with a slim head pillow to ensure their neck remains aligned with their spine.

How does elevated sleeping help with leg swelling and circulation?

By placing the wedge pillow under your knees or lower legs, you elevate your limbs slightly above heart level. This uses gravity to drain pooled fluids, ease varicose vein discomfort, and improve systemic circulation.
