If you suffer from acid reflux, sleeping flat can make symptoms worse. A wedge pillow elevates your upper body, helping reduce discomfort and improve sleep quality.
If you sleep on your side and struggle with acid reflux or nighttime heartburn, a standard pillow may not provide enough elevation. A wedge pillow can help raise your upper body while giving better support than stacking several pillows.
This guide compares wedge pillow options based on incline height, width, firmness, cover comfort, and side-sleeping usability.
