Acid Reflux Wedge Pillow FAQs

Q.Why is the MedSlant™ pillow better than other wedges on the market?
A.The PATENTED design of the MedSlant™ wedge pillow folds for easy portability and storage. At 32" long it is longer than most wedges available and supports the head, chest and shoulders. Simply raising the head on pillow causes the body to bend in the middle and actually makes reflux worse. There are a few other longer wedges available but they do not fold for travel. When not sleeping on your MedSlant™, fold it and lean against it for reading or watching TV. Folded, it will slide easily under most beds.
