MedCline Reflux Relief System, Wedge & Body Pillow, Small Up to 5'4" Tall

I think that the biggest thing that I had to get past was the price. I sure am glad that my blinders were removed. I wouldn't recommend it for someone that doesn't sleep alone. I am 216lbs at 6ft tall and I have mine directly in the middle of my queen bed. Yes, they have different sizes but choose carefully. I live with chronic pain that is particularly in my low back and into my right buttock and hip after 6 back surgeries. With this device, I am once again able to sleep in my bed more often than I have in years. I have had to have both of my shoulders totally replaced and with this device, I am once again able to return to my bed and sleep on my side to relieve the butt and hip pain. I am able to make it to the old fetal position and pull the body pillow up between my legs which takes the pressure off my hips, back, and Thank God, my shoulders. There are so many ways that having this product has blessed my life that I could go on for a long time. Just to make it through the night without feeling as if I am drowning in GERD backup is certainly worth the price. I have to spend way too much time sleeping in my recliner and there is no way to rotate or take the pressure off without just getting up which is all too often extremely painful to do. I don't always get to sleep in my bed for a period more than five hours but I do get my best quality sleep doing so. I had actually reached the point where I began to wonder if a really good rest was ever going to happen again. My wife is currently in the nursing home which enables me to do this. If she were home, I would not be able to use this device without separate beds. We have tried just about every kind of bed on the market over a thirty year period. It just didn't work! We could not afford a bed that allowed each of to enjoy separate adjustments therefore making her miserable when I truly needed the GERD relief and impossible to comfort both of with me trying to get through the back pain. Make sure that you have enough bed to accommodate this unit. If the bed area is not plenty wide beneath you, you will easily find yourself in the floor without being prepared. Overall, I can not begin to say what a blessing this unit has been for me and I would only hope that you would experience the same.

This has been very helpful with my reflux, it feels good even when you’re just relaxing in the evening reading and I like how it feels like a cocoon. I do not like the bulk when I want to make a bed and have it look nice, but it is worth it. After I purchased this, I broke my wrist and it has been nice to have as I can rest my wrist on the tube part of the pillow I recommended. It is easy to wash the case and put back on. I did notice my reflux come back right away when I didn’t use it so I used it for a few more weeks and may just continue to use it forever because it’s comfortable.

What a load of crap.this was very inconvenient after a while it loses its shape. it's cumbersome it takes up way too much room on a bed. it's pointless. just take your medication, I don't recommend this at all. it's in my garage. it's stains quickly, there are no specialty slip covers to prevent them from happening, you would literally have to make them yourself are fine to seamstress or someone that's so sings for you that will still cost you money...who has the time to make that or find someone that can sell one up for you put one together it's just inconvenient crap. ridiculous reflux pillows, a whole system that just doesn't look good on a made up bed. And you may as well roll out a CPAP machine masks and everything tubes just to make it seem like it belongs in your bedroom; bust out all your sleep aids, this thing is just a CPAP. Bust out the CPAP machine, tubes and CPAP mask, and whatever else large inconvenient and off-putting thing you might need next to your bed to give you that ICU feeling like you're in a hospital with your special needs or your deformed and you're in some kind of specialty clinic. it just doesn't belong in any made up of bed in the morning. How do you explain to intimate partners when you bring them into your bedroom that this pillow is some kind of sleep aid for GERD or acid reflux and not some bungee sculpture to give your bed an edgy look or an inconvenient cumbersome unnecessary bulkiness that might drive anyone away including the bed bugs. i threw it in my garage cuz it didn't even fit in my bedroom closet.

I have now had the large (orange stripe) pillow for a month. After a couple weeks I was ready to return the thing. If used as directed, it will create horrible pain at the shoulder, numbing your entire arm. Look at the ad photos. Under the pillow is where your shoulder should be. But most of us have a head that is a total of roughly 10"above the shoulder line. If you try to duplicate those images in the ad, you find yourself with your armpit right at the 90 degree dropoff into the hole. Put your arm out thru the lower so, and within a half hour your arm will be totally numb, your shoulder screaming in pain. As if you were hanging on a trapeze by your armpit. I tried angling the wedge upwards, downwards, whatever. Nothing worked. And that filler pillow pushes your arm and shoulder right to the edge of the hole. I bought vacuum plastic packaging (in order to return it, you have to suck all the air out of the pieces, otherwise they will not fit in the box they came in, as they were vacuum packed when shipped). Like Insaid, ready to return it. Then I thought about the design. What is wrong. Well, the hole is within two inches of the top of the wedge, so if you put this at the head of your bed, there is no natural head-shoulder alignment when sleeping on your side. So I took out the filler bean shaped pillow, put it above the left area of the wedge. Then took the body pillow and wrapped it across the area above the wedge then down the right side, outside of the wedge. Now the hole area is about 12" down from the top of the bed. I used a pillow which I placed on top of the body pillow on the right side, so that it was above the level of the wedge, for hugging. I used another pillow for between my knees. I had a small pillow...half the size of the bean center hole stuffer pillow, and put that in the right side of the hole. Across the top edge of the hole, and lying over the top of the body pillow, is my regular (king sized) pillow for my head. Now when I get into bed, my butt is at the bottom third of the wedge, my shoulder has plenty of room to fall into the hole, and allow my arm to go out under the wedge, and my head is on my pillow, which I pull down to cover a few inches of the hole. There is no stress on my armpit, no cutting off my blood circulation. The wedge is very comfortable and is of good firm material. I would recommend a complete redesign of the product with the opening for the shoulder a good ten to twelve inches down from the top edge, and the wedge should flatten out after the hole (otherwise your head is pushed upwards uncomfortably). The body noodle requires a pillow cover for me....the fuzzy velour type covering is just too hot. It actually requires two standard size body pillow covers because it is very long.

Purchased in April of 2019 (for reference in case the model changes). I purchased this for the express purpose of helping my snoring after seeing many comments that indicated it helped. Pros: For me it has worked. My wife has indicated my snoring is practically eliminated. I feel much more refreshed on awakening and the effect has been sustained for the last five weeks. The feeling refreshed was fairly immediate, but it did take some time getting used to sleeping on my side for long stretches of time. Cons: It's big. Really big. I had shoulder pain for a few weeks as I adjusted to sleeping on my side consistently. At this point I have no pain at all from it, but the transition took several weeks. Also, I have on occasion woke up with nerve pain - this is not severe, but noticeable in my toes or hands/fingers. The nerve pain has not been chronic or severe, but it is real. Overall: It is an expensive item to address snoring, but it has worked wonders for me. If you do purchase it, please do go in with the mind set you'll give it at least a couple of weeks to get used to.

love it!, had an inssue when I recieved it, the insert was missing so I noticied them and they sent out the missing piece. Very fast to respond. So compfortable to sleep with.

I bought this to help elevate my sleeping position. I’m very overweight and I wasn’t getting a good nights rest sleeping on my side or stomach. I was concerned that the wedge would deflate quickly under my significant weight. After a month, it has not. I’ll update this when it starts to lose quality. I get a great nights rest now. It did take me about 3 weeks to figure out how to sleep comfortably. It was very uncomfortable at first and even made my arms/shoulder sore. I also didn’t like being confined to one side. Since then, I’ve learned what position to lay on it to prevent any soreness. And I’ve figured the wrap around pillow just right so I can flip from side to side if needed. It’s very comfortable and I can never go back to laying flat. I do wish I had a silk pillowcase for it. It wreaks havoc in my hair. I had to buy a silk bonnet so I don’t wake up full of knots or static. It’s also very warm. I’ve had to turn a fan on me directly to combat how warm it makes me.

The body pillow is great, but the wedge just doesn’t work for my sleeping position. It provides good support and is pretty firm. It’s easy to clean so it stays odor free. I wish I could get it to fit my sleep position. It feels like trying to sleep in the side plank. The overall durability is great, but the cover on the wedge pillow does tend to pill.

It does the job, but also unfortunately the long pillow causes a kink in my neck. I'm thinking I might just get rid of some of the stuffing and see how that works.
