Under Mattress Wedge vs Wedge Pillow for GERD
Has anyone purchased an under mattress wedge to help with nighttime acid reflux? It seems it might work better than a wedge pillow.

Pam,
One has to try these pillows and decide which one is best, most stable for them. Have you considered an adjustable bed? My adjustable bed works wonders for me. Mattress stores usually have sales several times each year.
I like Katie's idea or the under-mattress wedge. Seems like if you use a wedge pillow, you may have the tendency to roll off of it on occasion.
