I have acid reflux and sleep apnea. I use a cpap machine and have been using a 25" length pillow wedge for the last couple of years. I am also a 6 foot 270 pound man. I just got over a terrible virus with a bad dry cough. My doctor told me that it was made worse and I was more prone to get sick due to the acid reflux. It's good I saw him for I am on meds for the reflux and he said the acidic aspect was gone but it was still there in nonacidic form causing damage. Primary reason was not sleeping at the correct angle. As many of us have learned the shorter length wedge merely raises the head and constricts the stomach making the reflex and all the problems it causes much worse.
Of course I was told to raise my bed if possible but it is not. He then recommended this pillow and it has helped tremendously. It took about 1 week to get used to sleeping on it and I must say that is a good thing. I was concerned that due to my size and weight that the pillow would easily loose its firmness and squish down in size but that has not been the case at all. You are supposed to sleep with the side with the wedges up and the pillow is very comfortable while helping you stay in place. It just took me time to get used to sleeping on such a slant. The previous smaller wedge was not effective for my body enveloped it and its firmness quickly gave away.
I begin on my back but am basically a side sleeper. I find the pillow comfortable in either position. I do wake up sometimes more towards the middle of the pillow and need to raise myself up again. it is not due to the pillow not holding me but rather me tossing around. My nighttime cough is pretty much gone and I must say it feels great to be able to lay fully prone on the pillow. I can feel that the airways are more open and it ultimately makes falling asleep much easier. There are many rave reviews here but I wanted to chime in for it has been very effective with a man of my size. Many feel the pillow is overpriced but I don't believe the quality of the foam with the correct medically recommended slant would be the same with other lower priced wedges. Highly recommend.

About Medslant
I was diagnosed with acid reflux disease in 1999 and told to sleep on a wedge pillow that was long enough to support me through the torso. When I asked where to get it, the reply was "I don’t know."
After several days of research, here’s what I learned: EVERY AUTHORITY HAD THE SAME SUGGESTIONS:
sleep with your head elevated 6-8 inches
make sure your ENTIRE upper torso is supported on an angle
avoid certain foods
Methodically I began the hunt for a wedge pillow. I felt like Goldilocks. This one was too uncomfortable. Too inconvenient. Too expensive. But none if them was right. I need to be supported through the entire torso - and I coudn't find what I needed.
So I did what any inspired sufferer would do, invented my own!
Now I had a pillow that fully supported me, was comfortable and even folded for storage. And I am happy to make these same pillows available here for you.

Robert Scarmazzo says, "It worked for my reflux, what a lifesaver"
Robert Scarmazzo. If you have a sore throat in the morning, you likely have reflux. Try this, it worked for me.
