Contour Standard Folding Wedge, Ecru

I loved this wedge ... for the first couple of weeks!

It worked great, had the perfect amount of lift, supported my back when laying on it, was very comfortable and performed its function exactly as needed. However, the foam quickly seems to break down and become too soft. It is now much too soft and no longer as supportive as needed my back aches and I can't feel the support under the bottom portion at all when laying on it. I also frequently roll off of the sides of it when not completely in the middle as the edges are too soft to be supportive and just sink down when you lay on them.

I have tried flipping it over and reconfiguring it multiple times to no avail the foam is just too soft now to work properly. The bottom portion of it also crumples up whenever I move around at night, causing uncomfortable wrinkles.

It still works sort of as it raises your head up a few inches while sleeping (until you fall off it if you get too close to the softer edge!). However, it is not comfortable and does not support your back as a good wedge should.

I ordered these bed wedges specifically because they were wide enough to permit you to sleep flat on your back they are sized perfectly! Firm lift support; easy to care for; easily hidden from view; well made and very comfortable cover; good price; quick shipment enough semi-colons, you understand that I am happy, happy!

I bought this because I wasn't able to sleep in my own bed after surgery and was stuck sleeping in a lounge chair for almost a week. Once I got this situated on my bed, I was back to my own room. The size is perfect width is equal to or a little wider than my pillow and the length starts at the base of the spine and gradually lifts you up. It's very comfortable (not too hard, not too soft) and I would highly recommend it for anyone that needs to be propped up a bit.

OK, well I have some minor gripes about this items, but I will still give this item 5 stars because the quality is very good and it seems a perfect blend of being firm enough to give support and not deflate, and yet soft enough that it's not like sleeping on a board. I think for it's intended purpose it is a great buy, my main complaint is that it's not comfortable for side/stomach sleeping but I don't think that ANY wedge would be good for that purpose, so I can't fault this one in particular.

Pros: removable cover for washing, ideal firmness (not too hard or soft), folds up for easier storage, no smell that I could detect, very good for black sleeping, helps prevent acid reflux. For me, I can sleep on this on my back and not snore at all, but I will snore on my back without this. Not any hotter than my regular pillows.

Cons: No good at all if you like to sleep on your side or stomach, this will throw your spine way out of whack so don't even try it! Upon first using it, it left a noticeable amount of little lint fibers all over my black sheets (granted I did not wash the cover before using it, that might have prevented this minor issue).

On the plus side: It is a comfortable memory-like foam and it's longer length than the typical wedge makes a surprising difference with a more gradual incline.

The negatives: First, there is an odor. This of course is highly subjective; in fairness, it didn't particularly bother my wife but on the other hand, she didn't have her face close to it all night like I do. After airing it out on the patio for a few days and washing the cover, the smell was gone. Subtract 1 star. Second, after several weeks there is a depression where my upper torso lies reducing the height by about half, and I only weigh 160 lbs. If you have reflux, you need more life than only 3-4 inches. Subtract 2 more stars.

It is also over-priced, although since that is true of all these wedges, I'll cut them some slack and not subtract another star.

I ended up taking a previous 7" foam wedge which is unbearably hard, cutting 3" off of it which puts it at the same incline angle as this pillow, and then putting this pillow on top of the other wedge. That is working better than I expected. Too bad I had to do this in the first place to get a comfortable wedge with adequate incline.
