Avana Mattress Elevator - Under Bed 7-Inch Incline Foam Support - Riser for Acid Reflux, GERD, and Sleep Relief - California King

No lie — the night I got this, my sleep score jumped to the high 90’s! Zero acid reflux, zero issues breathing at night anymore. I got the 7 inch because you really want that height. It is super comfortable. Some people said they slid down but I had zero issue with that. It’s nice and firm so it doesn’t mush down. Great support. I hope it lasts because it’s the best single thing I have added to my health in a long time.

I have a heart problem and Myalgic Encephalomyelitis - also HORRIBLE sleep. Mild sleep apnea. I bought this out of desperation hoping it would help with the brain inflammation and because an M.E. expert said that elevating the head above the feet by 6 inches would help increase blood volume. I don't know if it is doing either of those things. What I do know is that for reasons unknown it is really helping me sleep more restfully. I have always had night terrors - terrible dreams accompanied by physical sensations like choking, sweating, terrible sensations in my heart like someone digging their fingertips in and squeezing. I usually wake up feeling like I just ran a marathon with my eyes closed. For reasons I do not understand I'm no longer getting the physical sensations along with the night mares and I'm waking up feeling a little bit rested. I'm still having the same night mares - just not all the physical strain that used to go along with it. Very strange - but good! More good stuff about this: M.E. will make you spend A LOT of time in bed and my back always gets really sore - this seems to be helping with that as when my back starts to get sore now I just put pillows under my feet and legs and my body being in a 'v' shape seems to alleviate the back pain. I am very surprised that the foam can support both me and my mattress without sagging and making my bed too soft. Also, I am very VERY sensitive to fumes of any kind and I was shocked that this foam product didn't make me sick when it came out of the package - so two thumbs up for that! Many bedding and household products will make me sick when they are new. It took me about 2-3 weeks to get used to the slope. I don't slide down it much at all (maybe 6 inches over 8 hours if that) but for those first few weeks I would think that I was sliding the last few hours I slept and wake up like 'ohhh nooo!!" That sensation is gone now. The only complaint I have to spend a lot of my time dozing on and off in bed and I usually sleep with a lot of random stuff in the bed that I need either for work or for comfort - phones, notepad and pen, remote control, hat, scarf, lip gloss. That stuff does tend to slide down now and end up lost in the blankets somewhere near the middle of the bed instead of just hanging out by my pillow where I usually keep it all handy. Totally solvable by getting some kind of bedside table though and totally worth it for the increased restfulness I've been feeling. I like to sleep between two body pillows as well and those do tend to end up at the middle or bottom of the bed - it's half annoying... but half convenient as usually by the time they are at the bottom of the bed, I've been asleep long enough that my back is starting to get sore (I'm talking like 10-12 hours or more) and it's time to put my legs on the pillows to help with the back pain anyway. I think people who don't sleep as long or with all that stuff in their bed won't have an issue lol. For that 2-3 week period of getting used to it I was really wondering if I should have bought the one that only slopes 4 inches but now I'm very very happy with this product! I'll be traveling soon and I really don't know how I'm going to go back to sleeping on a flat surface!

We bought this to help reduce acid reflux, help with breathing issues, and dizziness (inner ear issues). Raising the head of our bed was not an option so this was a great alternative. It DOES help with acid reflux, reduces snoring, and has almost completely cleared up the dizziness. However, the rise is so substantial that getting in bed is a challenge and it's easy to fall out when reaching for the night stand! In hindsight I wish we would have bought the 5 inch rise instead of the 7 inch. But when we read the reviews people said the 5 inch was too subtle and wished they'd gotten the 7 inch so that's why we opted for the higher rise. We figured our weight would squash it down to 5 inches haha! Not so! It keeps its full rise. We did not see in the description that you need to pull this product out of the packaging and let it fluff up for several hours before putting it under your mattress. We were doing this at bedtime and did not wait several hours. We put it under our mattress straight away and it didn't seem to matter, so take that for what it's worth. It's very soft! Add comfort to your mattress for sure! Our queen size came in two twin size pieces. Overall I'd say it's a good product for sure, it takes some getting use to. We've had it for a couple weeks now and are finally settling in. We do slide down the hill a bit in the night!

Best thing I ever did for myself. The incline has made my heartburn practically disappear, and has helped my back pain because I can now let my mattress do its job instead of lying on an uncomfortable pile of pillows. I should have asked for help putting them under my mattress, though! Getting them on the bed platform was easy, but putting the mattress back on top was NOT. The extra friction added by the foam really made that a two person job.

I found this wedge to be perfect for my needs. I bought this to help with sleep apnea, plus I just like to have my head elevated, always have. The 7" elevation seems perfect, I would not want it to be less (5 inches) and any higher and I'd probably start to slide down the bed. I much prefer the full bed wedge verses just the pillow type wedges. I'm more comfortable being able to lie flat as opposed to bending my back to raise my head. Very much a personal choice. I did have one concern from reading the reviews before buying, and that was the firmness or compressibility. For me, being around 180lb, it does not seem to compress at all! Just to be clear, I place the wedge under my mattress, not on top of it. It arrived compressed and rolled up. I unwrapped it and let it swell to full size for a good 8 hours. Then placed it under the mattress and slept on it that night. I did not notice any odor. I'm very happy with this product and recommend it to others. Great quality and performance. Best of luck.

I was very excited to learn about the existence of an inclined mattress support. It seemed like it would help my issues, as I have slept with various above mattress wedges, extra pillows, etc for years. When I got it, I quickly found out it did not help my GERD. The bigger issue, however, was that it was causing me to slide down my bed in the night. This feeling was very unnatural and worsened my sleep quality as I could feel the minor sliding motion and friction throughout the night. I am 6'0" and 165lbs for reference. I would wake up with back pain, which only worsened as I continued to use this product. I eventually was fed up with it, and decided to return it, which opened up a slew of new issues. Please note as THIS IS NOT WRITTEN ON THE PRODUCT PAGE: "The cost of return shipping will be deducted from your refund." You cannot try this product out to see if it works without being on the hook for it. This is very annoying as I have never had this issue with an Amazon Prime item before, and again, was not mentioned once during the purchase process. This also seems like a racket to me as they recommend you place them into two separate boxes that "should be 30 x 20 x 20 (queen), or 38 x 20 x 20 (king)." Acquiring those boxes is $30-40 alone, then I get an extra amount deducted from my refund (which will be closer to the full product cost of $150 to ship two massive boxes across the country...). So what am I going to be getting in return? Hopefully more than nothing to ship these two pieces of junk back. If you decide to go ahead and purchase this, be mindful of this policy and that you 100% WANT the product. You don't want to deal with this headache of a return process. Finally, the product itself isn't anything special. It's just straight cut dense foam. The edges aren't rounded or anything, and it discolors and attracts dust/hair like any other dense foam. Maybe the 5" version is better as it doesn't make you slide down as much, I'm not sure. But if I were you and looking at purchasing something like this I would at a minimum go for a lower incline. Best of luck everyone.

Purchased this product to help solve my nighttime acid reflux issues. Works great! I kept a food diary for a week, so that I could learn what my trigger foods were, and then hung a list of good and bad foods on my fridge. I also stop eating several hours before going to bed. The added benefit of the wedge is that my husband no longer snores! It took two nights to get used to sleeping on a slant; but now, after a couple of weeks, I am totally acclimated. I sometimes slide down a bit during the night, sometimes I feel the need to scoot back up, sometimes not. My bed is not as pretty as I prefer, so I think I may remove the wedge when I have a party or something. I don't care if my close friends or family see my slanted mattress. Turns out, lots of them have issues with reflux too! I think elevating the feet of my four poster bed would be super ugly in comparison. I placed the wedge between the box spring and the mattress and covered it with a flat sheet. Best to just to remove the top mattress before placing the foam, then cover with a flat sheet. You will be able to slide the mattress pretty easily over the foam with the flat sheet in place. The sheet tucks in nicely, and does not become untucked, because the foam has friction to hold the sheet in place. You will find out that it takes a little more effort to reach the bedside table and to climb into bed, but it hasn't been a big deal. Maybe one day I will get a mechanical bed so my bed looks prettier, but for now this is perfect and I'm happy to have a better life because of it. The two foam sections matched each other perfectly and there was no smell. I don't think I would like a half wedge on top of the mattress, because I know I would just slide off and it would be hard to sleep on my side because of the severity of the slant. The full length is a much better solution and I like that it is under the top mattress, because who wants to sleep on foam.

This is one of the best purchases I have made in a long time. I have acid reflux frequently and sleeping on the wedged pillow was not comfortable since I’m a side sleeper. So I rarely ever used it. I was having problems with coughing at night when I go to bed with stomach acid coming up into my throat irritating my esophagus. Since I’ve been sleeping on my mattress elevator, I’ve not had that problem. I got the 7 inch incline and was afraid it was going to feel like I was being tipped out of bed, but I can’t even tell it’s elevated. I’m very comfortable when I lay down and no longer coughing as I try to go to sleep. The biggest surprise to me was my trip to the bathroom every hour or two has stopped! My bladder used to feel like it was full and I would go to the bathroom about every two hours sometimes more. I was very uncomfortable, but since I’ve had the incline, I don’t feel the urgency to go to the bathroom or the uncomfortable feeling in my bladder. I think I get up once in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom. I don’t have that feeling of a full bladder every couple of hours like I used to when in reality I barely had to potty. That was worth the price of the mattress elevator alone. When I put the mattress elevator under my regular mattress, I noticed no odor in it. Some of the comments made me wonder if people had put it on top of the mattress and then complained. I was a bit concerned about sliding down the bed, but that has not been a problem. However, I would not use satin sheets and a satin nightgown, the thought of that makes me laugh. Satan sheets is a good idea for the times when you get those guests that just don’t want to leave.
