A night of uninterrupted sleep does more than offer our bodies a chance to recuperate from a long day; our minds and spirits are also rejuvenated by those blissful hours of slumber. However, achieving such a peaceful night of rest can be difficult, particularly for those of us who suffer from GERD, night-time heartburn, or sinus problems. To help combat such issues, Avana has created a safe, comfortable way to relieve your symptoms through simple gravity. The Slant pillow works much like a hospital bed, offering relief through elevation. Your whole torso is gently lifted by our soft foam, providing an ideal sleep surface. Our precise angles can help you breath easier while relieving pressure from your chest or sinuses and sending you down the path towards dreamland. The Slant can even help diminish swelling due to surgery or injury, and it can give relief to aching swollen feet. Available in three sizes, the Slant slips easily into your bed and even under your personal pillow to fit your sleep style perfectly.
Of course, getting a great night’s sleep is made easier with quality materials, which is a creed that Avana takes seriously. The most luxurious pillow of its kind, our Slant Pillow is made from ultra comfortable 1.5 density urethane foam that gives you the perfect amount of support, while an added layer of 1-inch memory foam contours to your body and cradles you throughout the night. The removable antimicrobial cover features a soft cotton knit pattern on the front, bookended by plush camel microsuede on the sides, and it is machine-washable to make cleaning a breeze.

I needed a wedge to help me with reflux at night and read lots of reviews on various products. This product seemed to be of the same description as much more expensive wedges but at a lower price. I was a little nervous taking a chance on it since no one had reviewed it before, but I'm happy to report that it is indeed a nice bed wedge with a firm but forgiving feel to it. The best feature for me is the width--and keep in mind that a "queen" is approximately half the size of a queen bed. Someone complained on another website because he thought a "king" meant that it was the size of a full king bed. The extra width on this wedge allows my arms to be supported and not just my torso. If you've tried to sleep with only pillows propping you up, you'll understand that your arms don't get supported--and that adds strain to your back. I had read a review of an almost identical memory foam product where many liked it but some said it was rock hard. If you prefer a very soft mattress you may find the wedge hard, but if you like a firm mattress with a memory foam top, this should be great. I would point out for those who say it's "rock hard" that if the wedge were made of a softer foam, you wouldn't have the 7" rise that's necessary for controlling reflux because it would squish down under your weight. My only problem with the product is not really the fault of the product: it is what it is. But I've had some trouble getting used to it and do find that I slide down it a bit and have to hitch myself up. It also takes some experimentation with and without pillows to find what's comfortable. I find that I don't need a pillow for my head when I'm on my back, but have to have one for my neck and shoulders when I'm on my side. The most comfortable position I've found for myself is to lie on my back with a pillow under my head and another pillow right where the wedge ends under my tailbone. This lifts my thighs and takes pressure off my back and knees. It's like a poor man's version of being in an adjustable bed. Only problem is that I can't keep any position for very long and so end up putting a pillow on the floor by the end of the night. I also sometimes just HAVE to sleep on my stomach and so flip the wedge up against the headboard. What's nice is that it actually stays in position and doesn't fall down on my head. I probably should have said this first, but when the wedge arrives, it will be squished into a zippered black bag. I was quite doubtful about the product as it looked awful with the cover just hanging over this squished foam. It started to gain its shape after an hour or so and after perhaps 12 hours (the next day), it looked just like the picture with the cover fitting quite snugly around it. All in all, I'm very pleased with this purchase--especially since I think I got the equivalent of the much more expensive wedges at a very reasonable price! Edit/update: my doctor told me I probably shouldn't have a pillow under my head along with the wedge because it makes me bend my neck too much, so when on my back I don't use a pillow under my head but do put it under my thighs. Then when I roll to my side, I take the pillow from under my legs and use it under my head. (Yes, I sleep lightly enough that I can do this throughout the night.) And I'm much more used to the wedge now and sleep very well with it.

It is startling to receive this item completely squished into a bag the size of a small pillow but it does expand eventually into a reasonable if not quite perfect shape. It is very firm, not a lot of give to it, much firmer than the TempurPedic mattress I have it on. If you like to sleep on your back it would be great, I sleep on my side and my arms tend to go numb under my weight unless I keep them below my shoulders. I am trying to retrain myself to become a back sleeper, clearly that is the most effective position for keeping the reflux down and it's very comfortable on this pad. For a side sleeper perhaps a 4" or 5" or softer pad would be better, I tend to slide down to that approximate position anyway but then I often still experience some reflux in that position.

Comments about Slant Acid Reflux Pillow:
I like it, looked at lots of wedge pillow reviews before deciding on this one. I got the king size, it is half the size of the width of the bed, my arms don't fall off. If I have slippery sheets on the bed, I do slide off, but the pillow itself is not the issue. It has a non slippery cover. Did smell for the first few nights but that went away just fine.
Comments about Slant Acid Reflux Pillow:
Works well for my condition of hiatal hernia and acid reflux. Didn't take long to adjust to the slant. Leaves lots of room for people who toss and turn. I would recommend this solution to anyone. I am able to sleep through the night now.
Comments about Slant Acid Reflux Pillow:
The night before I received the pillow, I was up all night with acid reflux. The night after I got it, it was pure relief. I highly recommend this product for anyone that has acid reflux/gerds condition. Also, I noticed that I have very little respiratory issues with the use of this pillow.
Comments about Slant Acid Reflux Pillow:
I was very happy to find a wedge that is the width of a king-size pillow - it really helps to have my arms supported inline with my back! This is a great product with high-quality foam (my husband's a furniture engineer, so I know quality foam!). The cover is nicely sewn and fitted. I've slept quite comfortably since receiving the wedge.
Comments about Slant Acid Reflux Pillow:
The first night I used it my husband commented that I didn't snore at all! And I had always felt stuffy, like my nose was closed up, and that went away. I sleep with my memory foam pillow on it. It is very comfortable to sleep on, not hard or stiff at all. Only problem is the same one others mentioned, I do tend to slide part way down at night. Find myself waking up and crawling back to the top.
Comments about Slant Acid Reflux Pillow:
My doctor recommended that I slant my bed to help control my acid reflux. I studied the various products, and selected the Avana Slant Bed Wedge. It is absolutely fabulous! It is like sleeping on a cloud! I probably should have gotten this product years ago.
Comments about Slant Acid Reflux Pillow:
does its job for acid reflux. comfortable and wide enough to move.
Comments about Slant Acid Reflux Pillow:
It has taken me some time to get used to sleeping on this - and side sleeping is not very comfortable with the wedge. I only use it about half the night, and only on nights when I'm congested or have acid reflux. The wedge is great for sitting up in bed reading or watching TV. It's bigger than I imagined. Even though I knew it would take up half my queen sized bed in width, I didn't realize how far down from the head of the bed it would come. It's soft, but not mushy. Firm, but not rigid. I like the cover that comes with it. It's got just enough "grip" to keep me from slipping down the wedge. I imagine with a cotton cover, I'd slide right off. Overall, I'm pleased with it. Now if only I could figure out where to put it in my tiny bedroom when I'm not using it!
Comments about Slant Acid Reflux Pillow:
This wedge pillow is wonderful! I highly recommend it! The fabric the pillow cover is made of is so soft! It is the perfect angle to help me with my sinus and allergy issues. A very high quality product.
Comments about Slant Acid Reflux Pillow:
I just love my Avana bed wedge! It's so comfortable. You don't even realize you're sleeping on a slant.
