Extra Cover For This Pillow: While this pillow already includes a pillow cover, you can get an extra Wedge Pillow Cover so you always have a freshly clean cover while the soiled one is being washed. Get a Wedge Pillow Cover.

Raise Your Pillow With The Riser: The Height Riser For Long Bed Wedger has been especially created for the long bed wedge pillow to enable you to raise the height of the pillow by another 2.5 inches above its current height. Simply place the riser below your wedge pillow to raise the height. Get a Height Riser For Long Bed Wedger.

Product Description & Benefits: The Memory Foam Long Bed Wedge Pillow (which includes a pillow cover) has an outer layer of a high quality, durable visco elastic memory foam material that conforms to the body’s shape over a sturdy polyurethane foam core. The memory foam layer of the pillow responds to the body's temperature through the transfer of body heat, resulting in a pillow surface that is shaped like your body. This pillow features curves n the surface of the pillow to help better contour to the shape of your body. This cream terry-colored wedge pillow is specially designed with an incline design to provide proper alignment and keep your affected swollen areas (facial and/or body areas) comfortably elevated in an angle that is optimal for reducing swelling. Following surgery, it is recommended to be perpetually elevated in an approximate 30-45 degree position from the bed because this enables optimal blood circulation to all the vital healing areas and helps reduce the swelling. The bed wedge comes with a cover that has a zipper closure for easy removing and washing.

Many patients find the bed wedge to be a superior and more comfortable elevation solution compared to putting oneself above pillows on a bed. A primary advantage of the bed wedge relative to pillows is that it is sturdy so that you can comfortably sleep without having to worry about slipping off as you would with pillows. Additionally, with the bed wedge you have no need to periodically rearrange your pillows if they shift around. Further, the bed wedge will not give rise to any tension and stress that you might feel from having empty spaces between your body and your pillows when you’re propped up on your bed. Since the bed wedge can be moved around, you can use it to be in elevation wherever you are – whether you’re in your bed, relaxing on a sofa, or on any other area of the house.

Beyond using the bed wedge during your recovery, this product is a great addition to your everyday life and can be used to elevate the head for breathing comfort, pressure relief, to elevate the feet for relief of swelling, to help with acid reflux disease and acid indigestion, and for the treatment of hiatal hernia. Moreover, people use the bed wedge to avoid sleeping and putting pressure on the face, which may contribute to wrinkling in the long-run. Ultimately, the bed wedge can be used daily for reading, relaxing or watching TV.

Other Comfort Pillows: To maximize your comfort during recovery, a good number of patients use a U-Shaped Pillow to have neck support and reduce the strain on the head and neck muscles while laying down on the bed wedge. The U-Shaped Pillow also helps to stabilize the neck and head while resting and sleeping during recovery.

Instructions For Use: You can place the bed wedge on top of your bed, sofa, or on any other surface that you wish to lay down on. You can use the wedge pillow in both its flat long position to lay down, or tall position to sit up. You may use the bed wedge to stay elevated during the initial phase of your recovery. It is recommended to stay elevated on the bed wedge as long as swelling is considerable in the affected areas.

Applicable Procedures: Body Lifts, Breast Augmentation, Breast Reduction, Breast Lift, Chemical Peel, Dermabrasion, Eyelid Surgery (Upper, Lower), Face lift, Laser Skin Resurfacing, Liposuction, Nose Surgery (Rhinoplasty), Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty), Breathing comfort, Swollen feet, Pressure relief, Post-Surgery Relief, Acid reflux disease, Acid indigestion, C-Section, Hiatal hernia.

What are the disadvantages/minuses of this product? materials & construction could be better for the price

Review: Overall, I'm satisfied with this because it does keep me from rolling onto my side at night, which I shouldn't do. I like the width of this pillow because I can prop my elbows by my sides when I read. I'm 5'2", and it ma...(read more)

By pearl787, July 30, 2008

Slip down on Long Bed Wedge
By slfelix, February 25, 2007

What are the benefits/plusses of this product? Worked well While I was awake.

What are the disadvantages/minuses of this product? No way to stay on the slope without sliding off.

Review: If there was a small wedge at the bottom to anchor my hips against to help stop me from slipping down it might work better. At night I kept sliding down off it, until my head was at the bottom of the wedge and my feet of...(read more)

Nice product, comfortable and long enough.
By warmblood@att.net, February 24, 2007

What are the benefits/plusses of this product? length, memory foam, shaping

What are the disadvantages/minuses of this product? none

Review: Much more comfortable than other non-memory foam products and long enough to reach the top of your pelvis, so you don't get a kink in your lower back. The shaping is nice too.
