DMI Foam Bed Wedge 12", White
DMI® Foam Bed Wedge Pillow (12" x 24" x 24" w/ 30° Incline)
30-Degree Ergonomic Slanted Elevation, High-Density Conforming Foam Core, Dual Head or Leg Position Support, and Machine-Washable Zippered Cover
Lying flat in bed can worsen nighttime acid reflux, trigger snoring, impair respiratory comfort, and place uncomfortable pressure on lower back joints. For individuals recovering from leg or knee surgery, managing varicose veins, or coping with GERD and sleep apnea symptoms, achieving proper bodily elevation is essential for restful sleep and healing. The DMI® Foam Bed Wedge Pillow by Briggs Healthcare provides a versatile, medically sound angled incline engineered for targeted body positioning.
Crafted with a supportive 30-degree slope measuring 12" high, 24" wide, and 24" long, this wedge features a high-density foam core that maintains structural shape without flattening under weight. Positioned under the head and torso, it elevates the upper body to prevent gastric acid reflux, ease nasal congestion, and reduce neck strain. Placed under the feet and lower legs, it lifts lower extremities to reduce swelling, relieve lower back pressure, and alleviate phlebitis or restless leg discomfort. Complete with a removable, machine-washable poly-cotton cover, it offers hygienic, long-lasting comfort.

Postural & Sleep Therapy Specialist Insight: Elevating the upper torso at a 30-degree incline uses gravity naturally to keep stomach acid down during sleep, making a 12-inch wedge far more effective than stacking standard soft pillows. Likewise, using it under the legs positions knees and lower back in neutral alignment to instantly relieve lumbar tension.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How does this bed wedge help with acid reflux (GERD) and heartburn?
A: By elevating your head, shoulders, and torso at a gentle 30-degree incline, gravity prevents stomach acids from flowing upward into the esophagus while sleeping.
Q: Can I use this wedge pillow under my legs after surgery?
A: Yes. Placing the wedge under your legs raises your feet and knees above heart level, reducing localized edema (swelling), easing varicose vein pressure, and relaxing the lower back.
Q: Is the cover easily washable?
A: Yes. The included white poly-cotton cover features a smooth zipper that allows you to remove it easily for machine washing in warm water.
