The Easy Breather Pillow Wedge has a fixed angle of about 30 degrees (rising 7–8 inches over a 24-inch length). This incline is commonly recommended by doctors for reflux and snoring relief.
The wedge itself is not adjustable, but you can modify how you use it. For a gentler slope, place it under your mattress or add a pillow on top. For more elevation, you can stack an extra pillow above the wedge.
The angle is designed to be high enough to improve comfort and breathing, but not so steep that it causes sliding. If you require different angles for medical reasons, an adjustable base may be a better option.
Yes, you can use the wedge for side sleeping as well as back sleeping. While wedges are commonly used on the back, side sleepers with reflux or snoring can still benefit from the incline.
At first it may feel a little different since your body is tilted, but you’ll likely adjust quickly. To stay comfortable, try placing a bolster pillow in front or behind you for support, and use a slightly taller head pillow to fill the gap between your shoulder and neck.
Side sleeping on the wedge still keeps your head and chest elevated, which helps reduce reflux. The 24″ width supports your torso securely, so you won’t feel unstable.
The wedge is designed with a moderate incline, a textured Icecore™ cover, and non-slip panels on the bottom and back to minimize shifting, keeping sleepers comfortably in place. The angle is high enough to improve breathing and comfort but not so steep that it causes sliding. The breathable cover also adds friction, helping your body and bedding stay put through the night.
If you do notice sliding, there are a few easy adjustments that can help. Start with your head positioned near the top of the wedge, or tuck the wedge under your fitted sheet so the sheet helps hold you in place. Wearing cotton sleepwear instead of silky fabrics can reduce movement, and bending your knees slightly often prevents sliding naturally. You can also use a pillow with a grippy cover (like our Easy Breather) on top of the wedge to keep your head and torso from shifting downward.
Yes! The wedge is designed for versatility. You can flip it to elevate your lower body as well as your upper body. Placing it under your knees can relieve pressure on your lower back and improve circulation, while raising your calves or feet can help reduce swelling after a long day or support recovery after surgery.
For even more support, some sleepers like to use two wedge pillows at once. One under the upper body and one under the legs creates a gentle “zero gravity” position. This alignment can reduce pressure on the spine and promote deeper relaxation.
You can also use the wedge to gently stretch your legs or as a footrest while sitting. If you’re using it under your feet, you may want to place a towel or blanket over the cover for extra cushioning or to keep it clean.
One pillow, many uses. The wedge is a true multi-purpose incline.
Yes! The wedge is excellent for reading, using a laptop, or simply lounging in bed. It props you up at a comfortable angle that relieves strain on your neck and shoulders. No more stacking and adjusting multiple pillows.
You can use it on its own or add your regular pillow on top for extra softness. Place it upright with the high end behind your back for a recliner-like feel, or even sit against it vertically against the wall or headboard for more support.
The wedge is wide enough to support both shoulders and features a breathable, cooling cover so you stay comfortable during longer sessions. It’s an easy, affordable way to turn your bed into a cozy lounge without needing an adjustable base.
If your adjustable bed raises the head of your mattress, you may not need a wedge for sleeping incline. However, a wedge can still be useful in ways your bed frame can’t.
You can use the wedge independently if you don’t want to move the whole bed (or disturb a partner), place it under your legs for circulation, or even use it on the couch for lounging. Some sleepers also combine a wedge with their adjustable bed for extra elevation in cases like severe reflux.
In short, your adjustable base covers many of the same functions, but the wedge offers portability, flexibility, and personal control.
The core of the wedge is a single piece of high-quality polyurethane foam, chosen to provide consistent, firm support across the entire incline. A wedge pillow needs to hold its shape to be effective, and this foam is CertiPUR-US® certified for safety, durability, and low emissions.
It is wrapped in our Icecore™ cooling cover, which feels soft, breathable, and cool to the touch. This way, you get the reliable lift you need without overheating or discomfort.
The design keeps things simple, giving you long-lasting support that won’t collapse while still feeling comfortable night after night.
Like most new foam products, the wedge may have a mild “new foam” scent when first unboxed. Rest assured, it’s not harmful; our foam is CertiPUR-US® certified and free of harmful chemicals.
To help the scent fade quickly, unzip the cover and let the foam air out in a well-ventilated room for 24-48 hours. If needed, you can also sprinkle baking soda on the foam for a few hours, then vacuum it off to neutralize odors. The breathable Icecore™ cover allows air to flow, which helps the smell dissipate faster.
Most customers notice the scent is minimal or gone within the first day, and it should fully fade within a few days to a week. Once it’s gone, it won’t return.
Yes, the Easy Breather Pillow is vegan. It uses CertiPUR-US® certified foams without animal-derived materials or adhesives, meeting all vegan standards.
