Reflux Wedge

The Reflux Wedge is used in a bed to keep the upper part of a person's body raised at an angle that will help prevent stomach acid backing up into the esophagus and causing gastric reflux (GERD), more commonly known as ‘heartburn’. This product may also be beneficial in treating sleep apnoea, congestion from colds and flu or other allergies, sinus infections, nasal drip, snoring, shoulder or neck pain, inflammation and swelling, and pregnancy heartburn.

Key Features

• Keeps the body at an angle to help prevent reflux
• Firm foam with a soft, cooling Hygroflex top layer
• Washable, breathable, moisture-wicking cover material
• Two-piece design to minimise storage space and reduce freight cost
• Spare cover available, to use while the other cover is in the wash
• Optional Bag so the Wedge can be transported or stored
