Avana Mattress Elevator - Under Bed 7-Inch Incline Foam Support, Queen

This is one of the best purchases I have made in a long time. I have acid reflux frequently and sleeping on the wedged pillow was not comfortable since I’m a side sleeper. So I rarely ever used it. I was having problems with coughing at night when I go to bed with stomach acid coming up into my throat irritating my esophagus. Since I’ve been sleeping on my mattress elevator, I’ve not had that problem. I got the 7 inch incline and was afraid it was going to feel like I was being tipped out of bed, but I can’t even tell it’s elevated. I’m very comfortable when I lay down and no longer coughing as I try to go to sleep. The biggest surprise to me was my trip to the bathroom every hour or two has stopped! My bladder used to feel like it was full and I would go to the bathroom about every two hours sometimes more. I was very uncomfortable, but since I’ve had the incline, I don’t feel the urgency to go to the bathroom or the uncomfortable feeling in my bladder. I think I get up once in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom. I don’t have that feeling of a full bladder every couple of hours like I used to when in reality I barely had to potty. That was worth the price of the mattress elevator alone. When I put the mattress elevator under my regular mattress, I noticed no odor in it. Some of the comments made me wonder if people had put it on top of the mattress and then complained. I was a bit concerned about sliding down the bed, but that has not been a problem. However, I would not use satin sheets and a satin nightgown, the thought of that makes me laugh. Satan sheets is a good idea for the times when you get those guests that just don’t want to leave.

I purchased this to elevate my daughter in her bed. She suffers from occasional acid reflux. This under mattress foam "wedge" works perfectly. I thought the foam would squish down but it doesn't. I left it to breath for a couple days after I opened the package it is shipped in and it then expands to its full dimensions. She doesn't slide down. The long slope of the entire bed (instead of a wedge pillow) is much better on her back and she sleeps so much better now!!! We then purchased a queen size for our bed (it comes in two pieces) and even with our very heavy mattress and two adults sleeping on the wedge mattress the foam keeps its height and doesn't squish down. Fantastic product. There isn't any odor from the foam... just a slight smell when its first unwrapped from shipping which goes away quickly.

We have had this a year now, and have had ample time to try it out. I can't believe I hadn't reviewed it yet, so it's far past time that I did. My husband and I both used to get acid reflux with our regular mattress without this elevator pad. It was so awful! I would wake up with what felt like burning acid in my mouth, and sometimes worse. My husband had his own occurrences with that kind of thing also. I had been doing some researching for a way to tilt our bed or something, so that it might help. I found this pad from a company that I already had another product from (the orthopedic support wedge pillow system I had bought for my dad), and it was such great quality, that I trusted that this would be the same, and it sure is! Now, we DO occasionally wake up having slid down the mattress a bit, but it's not enough to make any difference cause we still don't get acid reflux anymore. We have found that using flannel sheets, and wearing flannel or cotton pajamas does help not to slide down, and it is not by any means every night that it happens. It's once or twice a month, and as I said, it still has us sloped enough that the once awful issue no longer exists. We have recommended it to my in-laws because my father n law sleeps in a recliner because of his sinus issues, as well as reflux. He thinks he needs it to be even higher, but we keep telling him to try it. Maybe he'll listen one day. The Queen size 7" wedge set is perfect for us. I was worried that it would be too high, but you can't even feel that you're sleeping at an incline. In case this is something that matters, as it does to me, there is only a very very slight odor when you first open it, but by the time it fully expands, it has gone away. I am extremely sensitive to odors and chemicals, and this is another reason why I love this company, because I don't have to worry about it. All of their products are made with safer ingredients. Oh, and it took the full amount of time to expand, so please let it do that before laying on it. I can't recall exactly how long it is recommended to wait, but it did completely expand to the full size. Highly recommend!

A great purchase that does what it claims to do. Not only that but it was made in America but it was easy to use. I unrolled it, left it to decompress for 2 days and then put the two pieces under my mattress on top of wooden slats. It would be even better if it was the incline was higher (8 inches rather than 6).

We bought this to help reduce acid reflux, help with breathing issues, and dizziness (inner ear issues). Raising the head of our bed was not an option so this was a great alternative. It DOES help with acid reflux, reduces snoring, and has almost completely cleared up the dizziness. However, the rise is so substantial that getting in bed is a challenge and it's easy to fall out when reaching for the night stand! In hindsight I wish we would have bought the 5 inch rise instead of the 7 inch. But when we read the reviews people said the 5 inch was too subtle and wished they'd gotten the 7 inch so that's why we opted for the higher rise. We figured our weight would squash it down to 5 inches haha! Not so! It keeps its full rise. We did not see in the description that you need to pull this product out of the packaging and let it fluff up for several hours before putting it under your mattress. We were doing this at bedtime and did not wait several hours. We put it under our mattress straight away and it didn't seem to matter, so take that for what it's worth. It's very soft! Add comfort to your mattress for sure! Our queen size came in two twin size pieces. Overall I'd say it's a good product for sure, it takes some getting use to. We've had it for a couple weeks now and are finally settling in. We do slide down the hill a bit in the night!
