A wedge is what I use now. I haven’t been able to breathe well on my back for a long time. So I usually just sleep on one side or the other.

That became a problem, because my hips starting hurting too much and kept me from going to sleep, as well as some problems with stairs.

So now I sleep on the wedge, which helps with breathing when I am on my back. I can also roll onto my sides without putting am much pressure on the hips. So the wedge has helped me a lot.

“A wedge is what I use now.”

I was having a bit of acid reflux which I have never had before, so got a wedge so wouldn’t be flat in bed, upper body would be a bit elevated, and that wedge just feels really good, supports my neck. I do use a soft pillow on it, too, but it’s not a big thick pillow so it’s soft and the wedge just gives the upper body more support. Not having that acid problem but using the wedge because it suits my body. When I got it at Walmart, I wasn’t expecting much, but it’s a good thing.
