DMI Foam Bed Wedge 12", Blue
DMI High-Density Foam Bed Wedge Elevation Cushion β 12-Inch, 30Β° Incline
Versatile Ergonomic Body Positioner for Acid Reflux Relief, Respiratory Ease, Snoring Reduction, Leg Swelling, and Post-Surgical Recovery
The DMI Foam Bed Wedge by Briggs Healthcare is a multi-purpose ergonomic elevation cushion designed to provide comfortable upper or lower body positioning while resting in bed. Featuring a supportive 30-degree incline and a 12-inch vertical height, this high-density foam wedge gently raises the body to relieve pressure, support spinal alignment, and promote healthier circulation.
When placed at the head of the bed, the wedge elevates the torso to help reduce acid reflux (GERD), ease nighttime breathing difficulties, reduce snoring, and alleviate tension in the neck, back, and shoulders. When positioned under the legs or at the foot of the bed, it elevates the feet above the heart to reduce swelling, promote venous drainage, and ease symptoms related to varicose veins, phlebitis, leg edema, and knee or lower back strain. Wrapped in a removable, machine-washable zippered poly-cotton cover, the DMI bed wedge maintains its structural support over long-term use.
Key Features & Benefits
- Dual-Purpose Body Elevation: Can be placed at the head of the bed for torso elevation or at the foot of the bed for leg and foot elevation.
- Acid Reflux & GERD Relief: Keeps the upper body elevated at a 30-degree slope to help prevent stomach acid from traveling into the esophagus during sleep.
- Respiratory & Snoring Support: Helps open airways to ease nighttime congestion, sinus pressure, and mild snoring.
- Leg Swelling & Circulation Support: Lifts lower extremities to promote circulation, helping manage varicose veins, phlebitis, and restless leg discomfort.
- Post-Surgical Recovery Aid: Ideal positioner for post-operative recovery following knee, ankle, foot, or lower leg procedures.
- High-Density Firm Foam Core: Engineered foam holds its shape and provides unyielding support without flattening under body weight.
- Removable Washable Cover: Fitted blue poly-cotton cover features a full zipper for easy removal and machine washing.
Wellness Specialist Insight: A 12-inch high wedge with a 30-degree angle provides an ideal incline for GERD and acid reflux sufferers because gravity naturally keeps stomach fluids down without creating an uncomfortable bend in the lower spine. Using high-density foam ensures the pillow doesn't compress flat overnight, giving you consistent elevation throughout the entire night.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does elevating the upper body help with acid reflux (GERD)?
Elevating your head and chest 12 inches above your stomach uses gravity to keep stomach acids from flowing upward into the esophagus while sleeping, significantly reducing heartburn and reflux symptoms.
Can I use this wedge pillow under my knees and legs?
Yes. Placing the wedge under your knees or feet elevates your lower legs above heart level, which reduces fluid buildup (edema), improves circulation, and takes pressure off the lower lumbar spine.
Is the foam core washable?
No, the inner foam core should not be machine washed or submerged in water. Spot clean the foam with a damp cloth and mild soap if needed. The removable zippered outer cover is fully machine washable.
