How Do I Choose the Right Bed Wedge Pillow?
Know that you want a Bed Wedge, but not sure which one you should buy? Not to worry. We’ve got a comprehensive guide to help you pick the right brand and design for your condition or use.
Bed wedges are one of the most versatile support cushions available. Not only are they ideal for relieving nighttime acid reflux or snoring, it can also work as a leg raiser for varicose veins and swollen ankles. It’s also a handy way to sit up comfortably in bed if you have a not-so-comfy headboard.
Without further ado, let’s take a look at the Bed Wedge Pillow options and which is right for you.
Standard vs Memory Foam
Whilst both standard and Memory Foam bed wedges will provide sufficient levels of support, memory foam offers extra comfort. It provides a true body fit as it moulds to your body, returning to its original shape once any pressure has been removed.
Our verdict: If you’re buying to relieve sores or aches and pains, memory foam is highly recommended due to its extra comfort boost. This is because the material can help displace pressure from painful points on your body.
Width
There are two main width sizes: 24” (61cm) and 36” (91.5cm).
If both you and a partner sleep in a double bed and you both want to stop snoring or acid reflux, you’ll be pleased to know that these options should comfortably fit side by side. You wouldn’t want someone tumbling out of bed due to an overhanging pillow, after all.
Travel Size
If you do a lot of travelling or want to make your vacations more comfortable, you can buy a travel bed wedge. This can be easily packed into a carry case and shouldn’t weigh you down.
