Toms Wedge Pillow

Wedge pillows are designed to keep the torso elevated to prevent stomach acid from burning the esophageal lining during sleep. Most pillows on the market are elevated between 30 to 45 degrees, or 6 to 9 inches.

Using multiple pillows generally isna t recommended to treat acid reflux or GERD. As time passes, theya ll lose their shape and firmness. Acid reflux pillows keep their firmness and are ergonomically designed.

How It Works
The way that acid reflux pillows work is simple. Acid can easily reflux out of the stomach and into the esophagus when a person sleeps lying on their back with a regular pillow.

A wedge pillow slightly elevates the head, shoulders, and torso. Gravity keeps the contents of the stomach from refluxing back into the esophagus. Wedge pillows can be used for either side-sleeping or back-sleeping without causing any tension on the head or neck.
