Sleep Better With a Bed Wedge PillowYou may be wondering what a bed wedge pillow is for. If you are like many people, you find that it's not uncommon for you to have the occasional bad night. I'm not referring to nightmares, just days when you wake up feeling like you've slept wrong, with body aching and miserable. There are times when you are physically uncomfortable all night long; for example during pregnancy or if you're suffering from hernias, back pain, or acid reflux. Any of these conditions can make it painful for you to lay down comfortably on a conventional, flat bed. There are solutions available for these problems and one effective solution is to use a bed wedge pillow when you sleep. The pillow is shaped in a wedge and is designed to give additional support to the torso and upper body while you sleep. If you want to lie on your side the pillow can be used to support your legs or trunk and stabilize your position. The sloped shape of the pillow allows the air to move freely within your body and works to prevent reflux. Here are five specific circumstances where the bed wedge pillow is the ideal relief for your physical ailment. 1. Pregnancy Backaches are a common ailment of pregnancy and can really interfere with sleep. Doctors typically advise women not to sleep on their backs when pregnant, but many women find that it's the only way they can sleep. If you are one of them, talk to your doctor and he may advise you to sleep on your back. Sleeping on your back with your back slightly elevated can effectively reduce pregnancy gas and acid reflux that usually plagues expectant mothers and causes breathing problems. A bed wedge pillow is the perfect item to gently and safely raise your torso so you can enjoy these benefits. 2. Heart Conditions People with heart conditions such as congestive heart failure are especially prone to breathing problems and can enjoy a better night's sleep with the bed wedge pillow. With the upper body safely and firmly raised, breathing is easier and sleep will be deeper and healthier. 3. Hiatal Hernia and Acid Reflux These are two very common conditions where the use of a bed wedge pillow can become the difference between sleeping well and not sleeping at all. The back can relax because the weight has been taken off the upper body The strain on the hernia is reduced when the weight is taken off the upper body, allowing the sufferer to sleep more soundly. When acid reflux is causing misery, sleeping on the bed wedge pillow can keep the reflux from acting up during the night, allowing you to sleep better. 4. Reconstructive Surgery Tummy tucks and liposuction procedures prevent you from being able to sleep comfortably on your stomach. You are forced so sleep on your back, and when you use the bed wedge pillow you will find that sleeping on your back is completely comfortable. The wedge shape raises the torso in a very natural way, reducing the pressure on the spots that have been operated on. 5. Snoring People who snore have found that the bed wedge pillow helps prevent snoring. The best way to find out if the bed wedge pillow will help you stop snoring is to give it a try. You can also try the foam bed wedge pillow and the inflatable wedge. Both of these varieties on the bed wedge pillow are discussed at length through other articles here on this website. |
