Find Comfort and Relief: Why a Reflux Wedge Pillow is a Game-Changer for Better Sleep

If you’ve ever experienced the uncomfortable burn of acid reflux or found yourself tossing and turning all night trying to get comfortable, you’re not alone. Millions of Australians suffer from conditions like gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), sleep apnoea, snoring, or chronic back pain — and finding the right sleeping position can make all the difference.

At Foam for Home, our Reflux Wedge Pillow is designed to offer a practical, supportive solution to help you sleep more comfortably and wake up refreshed.

What is a Reflux Wedge Pillow?

A reflux wedge pillow is a specially shaped foam pillow that gently elevates the upper body while you sleep. Unlike standard pillows, which support only your head and neck, wedge pillows provide elevation from the waist up, creating a more natural incline that can help reduce reflux symptoms and support healthy breathing patterns.

Shaped like a triangular wedge, this foam support can be used flat on a bed, behind your back for upright resting, or even under the knees to relieve lower back pressure. At Foam for Home, our wedge pillows are cut to size right here in Australia using high-quality, supportive foam for maximum comfort and longevity.

How Does a Wedge Pillow Help With Reflux?

One of the primary reasons people use a reflux wedge pillow is to alleviate acid reflux or GERD symptoms. When you lie flat on your back, stomach acid can move more easily up the oesophagus, especially after eating. This leads to discomfort, heartburn, and interrupted sleep.

By slightly elevating your upper body (typically by 10 to 15 degrees), the Reflux Wedge Pillow helps use gravity to keep stomach acid where it belongs — in your stomach. This simple change in sleeping position can drastically reduce night-time reflux and improve sleep quality.

Additional Benefits of Using a Reflux Wedge Pillow

While reflux relief is the main reason many people purchase a wedge pillow, there are several additional benefits:

1. Improves Breathing and Reduces Snoring

Elevating the upper body helps open airways, making it easier to breathe — particularly for those who suffer from snoring, nasal congestion, or mild sleep apnoea. Many users notice a reduction in snoring and nighttime awakenings.

2. Alleviates Back and Neck Pain

Lying flat can cause stress on the lower back or neck. A supportive wedge pillow encourages better spinal alignment, which may reduce pain and tension. You can also use it in a seated position to support your back while reading or watching TV in bed.

3. Supports Post-Surgery Recovery

Wedge pillows are also commonly used post-operatively to keep patients in a semi-upright position, promote circulation, and reduce swelling. Whether you’re recovering from abdominal, shoulder, or cosmetic surgery, the gentle incline provides the support you need.

4. Assists in Maternity Comfort

Pregnant women may find lying flat uncomfortable in the later stages of pregnancy. A reflux wedge can provide elevation under the belly, back, or legs to alleviate pressure and promote more restful sleep.

How to Use Your Reflux Wedge Pillow

Using your wedge pillow is simple. Just place it directly on your mattress, with the wider, higher end at the head of the bed. Lie back so your upper body is comfortably supported from the waist up. You can place a regular pillow on top if you prefer a softer feel under your head.

For alternative uses:

• Place behind your back while seated for upright lumbar support.

• Use under your knees to relieve lower back strain.

• Place under your legs to reduce swelling or improve circulation.
