DMI Foam Bed Wedge 10", White
DMI® Foam Bed Wedge Pillow (10" x 24" x 24" Moderate Incline Elevation)
10-Inch Ergonomic Moderate Slanted Elevation, High-Density Conforming Foam Core, Dual Head or Leg Position Support, and Machine-Washable Zippered Cover
Lying completely flat in bed can trigger nighttime acid reflux, worsen respiratory congestion, and place uncomfortable strain on lower back and neck joints. For individuals recovering from knee, foot, or leg surgery, managing varicose veins, or seeking relief from GERD and snoring, achieving targeted body elevation is vital for restorative rest and healing. The DMI® Foam Bed Wedge Pillow by Briggs Healthcare provides a moderate angled slope designed specifically for orthopedic positioning.
Crafted with a supportive 10-inch moderate incline measuring 10" high, 24" wide, and 24" long, this wedge features a high-density foam core that maintains its structural integrity without sagging over time. Positioned at the head of the bed, it gently elevates the upper torso to reduce stomach acid migration, ease snoring, and relieve shoulder pressure. Positioned at the foot of the bed, it elevates lower extremities to promote circulation, diminish swelling, and take pressure off the lower back and knees. Complete with a removable, machine-washable poly-cotton cover, it delivers hygienic, long-lasting bed comfort.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the main difference between the 10-inch and 12-inch DMI wedge pillows?
A: The 10-inch model (802-8027-1900) provides a more moderate, gradual incline suitable for users who want subtle head or leg elevation, whereas the 12-inch model offers a steeper 30-degree incline for severe GERD or post-op needs.
Q: How does this bed wedge help with lower back and leg pain?
A: Placing the wedge under your knees or lower legs tilts the pelvis slightly backward, which flattens the lumbar spine to relieve lower back nerve pressure and promote leg circulation.
Q: Is the cover machine washable?
A: Yes. The included zippered poly-cotton cover unzips easily from the foam core for machine washing and drying.
