Health & Therapeutic Benefits

Sleeping at a gentle, supportive incline uses natural gravity to alleviate night-time symptoms and promote deep recovery:

• Acid Reflux, GERD / GORD & Heartburn: Elevates the upper body to physically prevent stomach acid and gastric fluids from traveling up into the esophagus.

• Hiatus Hernia & Silent Reflux: Minimizes stomach pressure to reduce nighttime regurgitation, throat irritation, and chronic morning coughing.

• Sleep Apnea & Snoring: Keeps airways open by preventing throat tissues and the tongue from collapsing back into the airway.

• Rhinitis, Glaucoma & Vertigo: Reduces fluid pressure build-up in the head, sinuses, and inner ear overnight.

• Circulation & Swelling: Positioned under the legs to drain pooled fluids, easing varicose veins, phlebitis, swollen ankles, and oedema.

3 Versatile Ways to Use

1. Upper Body Incline (Sleeping): Place the wedge flat on your mattress under your existing pillow to sleep on a comfortable, medically supportive incline.

2. Sitting Upright Support (Reading/Resting): Position upright against your headboard as a sturdy lumbar and backrest pillow for reading, watching TV, or working in bed.

3. Lower Limb Elevation (Leg Support): Place at the foot of the bed under your legs or knees to promote healthy venous blood flow and relieve pressure on lower back joints.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the Standard and Memory Foam options?

The Standard foam option is ideal for those who prefer firm, sturdy support that maintains a rigid slope. The Memory Foam option adds a soft, contouring top layer for extra cushioning across the back and shoulders while keeping the same supportive elevation.

How does the folding hinge work?

The wedge cover features a flexible fabric hinge seam running along the centre. You simply fold the top half over the bottom half, reducing its overall length by 50% without damaging or distorting the foam core.
