Contour Products Folding Bed Wedge Pillow, 7 Inches X 24 Inches X 24 Inches

I hate bed wedges. Years ago, when I was an exchange student in Germany. almost every bed in the rented rooms I lived. I just tossed them off the bed and never used them.Now I have GERD and that has led to other complications such as asthma and Barrett's esophagus. The doctor put the fear of God into me, and her first requirement was to get a bed wedge.And I did. It wasn't this one, and it was awful.This folding bed wedge is available in varying thicknesses and heights. I chose the ten inch, since I won't be going to the very top with my head anyway and thus I can get to the proper height.Two things about this bed wedge are particularly nice: its foldability and the nice, soft cover. I'm still not comfortable on it, but that is not the fault of the wedge.The only negative for me is that the company won't ship to Hawaii nor Alaska, something we happen to need.

The wedge is too soft and the cover really did not fit well. I guess the cover might be easier to remove and wash and replace since it is not snug, but it doesn't look neat.Mostly the foam was too soft.

This came at the perfect time. I had heart surgery and also had a collapsed lower lobe of my lung. I also had fluid around my heart and lungs. This wedge has allowed me to be comfortable sleeping while I recover. It helps me to breathe better because I’m propped up. I put a pillow behind it so if I’m further to the top of the wedge, I don’t hit my head on my headboard. It does not slide. I do find it to get a bit hot at times when I’m having a sweating issue due to what’s going on. I’m thinking of buying microfiber fabric and using Velcro strips to hold it in place on the wedge to see if that helps with it getting too hot. This is a little over 7 inches high. I’m thankful I didn’t go with the 12 inch wedge. I think that would have been way too high. I like how it folds up to put it away. I’m very pleased with this wedge. What price can you put on a good night’s rest???

Product arrived on time. There is no smell to it. Cover is soft. The wedge is high so if that is what you are looking for it will fit the bill. It is a little to firm for me. I am a side sleeper but this would probably be better for someone that sleeps on the back.Good product but to high and to hard for me.

The wedge works great, is comfortable, folds up for easier storage, and comes with a decent zippered cover. My only problem is the ridiculous optional wedge cover/case that Contour sells that fits this wedge. It doesn't actually fit and becomes a real problem, since we need something that can be removed and washed frequently... like a regular pillowcase. Unfortunately I can't find a real cover anywhere else that fits the dimensions of this wedge. Had I know this before, I wouldn't have bought the wedge.

This pillow is way too hard. it does not even dent when lay my head on it. My neck started hurting 2 days after sleeping on it. It may be good for someone else, but not for me.

I bought this bed wedge for my husband, who borders on having sleep apnea. I ordered the wedge with the 12" height, and he found immediate relief from this rise, as well as the overall gradual incline. We were skeptical about this product working for him, as he usually ends up sleeping on his side at some point during the evening; however, the gradual incline and the overall size worked just fine whether sleeping on his back or side. His snoring and difficulty breathing are problematic only when sleeping on his back, which is his primary prolonged position. We were also concerned that the pillow cover might be too hot, as it's velour, but this presented no problem at all. This product is well worth the cost. I also appreciate that it folds and can easily be stored in the closet after making the bed. GREAT features, delivery time, packaging and quality.

Sorry to say, I wouldn't recommend this to anyone.Pro's:* Arrived on time and was as described.* Smelled and looked fine (some reviews said otherwise, I had no problem)Con's* It is impossible to sleep on, unless you stay on your back all night* YOU CAN NOT RETURN THIS ITEMI get acid reflux at night and really need to elevate my head while sleeping. This bed-wedge seemed like the perfect solution and I was excited to give it a try. The pillow is firm, but that didn't worry me, since I have a two-inch thick latex foam mattress topper that I put over the wedge. Very comfortable as long as I laid on my back, but I prefer to sleep on my side. After two days of waking up with a stiff neck and back pain, I got another foam mattress pad, folded it in two and put that on top of the wedge, as well. So, I had three layers of foam on top of the wedge. It didn't help.I really did give this a try. Slept on it for more than a week, thinking that I would get used to it. I didn't. Since it is a pillow, it can't be returned to Amazon or to the manufacturer.In short, I paid $50 to get a week's worth of neck and back pain. The wedge is now sitting in the box it came in, in the garage. I doubt Good Will takes pillows, so it might be headed for the trash.
