Product Information

Hypoallergenic: Our hypoallergenic pillows are designed to prevent signs of allergic reactions to certain triggers, thereby offering you a more restful sleep. It’s more than just a pillow, it’s a healthy lifestyle choice. Measuring 24 x 24 x 10 inches, the Crystal Cove Wedge Pillow is comfortably large without taking up too much space on your bed. Though this wedge pillow isn't adjustable, the size should suit a wide range of users. You can use it for gentle elevation while sleeping or flip it to an upright position when you want to sit up and read or watch TV. It also works as a handy laptop stand or lower-body support when you want to elevate your legs or feet. Each method offers unique benefits, allowing you to find the most comfortable position based on your specific symptoms and preferences. Wedge pillows are typically made of polyfoam or memory foam, with a triangular shape that stays in place better than standard pillows. The angle of the wedge pillow can vary depending on the height of the pillow, and certain heights are better than others to relieve specific conditions. Wedge pillows are often used throughout pregnancy. They can also be used to comfortably sit up and watch television or read a book in bed.

Avoid Stimulants: Limit your consumption of caffeine, nicotine, and alcohol, especially in the evening. These substances can interfere with your sleep patterns and cause restlessness. The angle of the Bed Wedge can help prevent the acid from your stomach from travelling upwards and therefore help reduce acid reflux. Aside from this, the pillow can be used for various medical issues such as heart problems, respiratory illnesses and snoring. Inside the pillow, you can choose from standard materials, memory foam or latex. The memory foam can help with pressure relief, and the latex provides cooling and temperature regulation.A wedge pillow can help prevent acid reflux as the head elevation makes it more challenging for the acid to rise through the oesophagus. A study✓ on nocturnal gastro-oesophagal reflux (chronic acid reflux) found that bed head elevation reduced acid exposure and gave participants some heartburn relief. Further research✓ also found that head-of-bed elevation reduced acid reflux symptoms after six weeks and concluded it could be a safe and cheap alternative to medication.

Repositioning: As you sleep, you may shift or move around, and the pillows may need readjustment. If you wake up in an uncomfortable position, take a moment to reposition and readjust the pillows for optimal comfort and alignment. The incline provided by the wedge pillow can help alleviate congestion, acid reflux, and other respiratory or digestive issues. Wedge pillows come in a variety of materials," says product expert Keith Cushner of SleepFoundation.org. "Memory foam may be the right choice if a person is looking for pressure relief since the material conforms to the body's shape." Some memory foam options are infused with gel to offer a cooling effect, and others are CertiPUR-US to ensure product safety and low chemical emissions.Remember, everyone’s needs and preferences may vary, so it’s crucial to find the pillow arrangement and position that works best for you. Pay attention to your body’s signals, adjust accordingly, and consult with a healthcare professional if you’re experiencing ongoing discomfort or issues with sleep. The quality of materials used impact the lifespan of the pillow. For those who plan to use the wedge pillow nightly, selecting one made with high-quality materials will ensure the pillow maintains its shape. Low-density foam is more likely to degrade or sag with consistent usage. You can adjust the position of the pillow chair or bed rest pillow to achieve the desired level of elevation and comfort. Follow the Rules —Remember that everything your doctor recommends, he or she recommends for a reason. Do your best to follow post-operative care instructions religiously. Think of this as your full-time job as you recover. Ask for both physical and digital copies of instructions to ensure that you can always reference them when needed.

Monitor Pain —As best as you can, try to get in touch with your body, measuring pain, swelling and mood every day. This will help your doctor gauge where you’re at in the healing process and will allow he or she to make adjustments as needed. There are apps you can install on your smartphone to help you monitor pain and walk you through recovery, including BuddyCare and PeerWell Rehab . If needed, you can also roll up another blanket or towel and place it under your knees to elevate your legs.

While there is not much variation when it comes to wedge pillows, there are differences in materials and design that can affect how the pillow performs. These differences are important for shoppers to understand, as certain characteristics may be better suited for their needs than others. Adults should sleep between seven and nine hours per night, according to experts. If you sleep well for an extended period of time, including high-quality, uninterrupted sleep, you will find it much easier to digest than if you wake up many times during the night. It is common for people who do not get enough sleep to take naps to catch up, but naps are not harmful. How To Sleep On A Pillow Correctly When it comes to propping yourself up with pillows, selecting the right ones for support is crucial. Here are some factors to consider when choosing pillows:

Wedge pillows are designed to provide consistent and reliable elevation, ensuring that you’re properly supported throughout the night. They come in various sizes and materials, so choose one that suits your preferences and needs. Don’t: Prop your legs up on a table. You won’t get the angle right by propping your legs up on a table, or any other surface for that matter, and the hard surface may cause additional pain and discomfort. Always use an elevation pillow for feet to ensure safe, comfortable healing. If you’ve recently had foot, ankle or leg surgery, there’s a good chance that your doctor discharged you with a long list of post-operative instructions. One of the most important yet least understood tasks on the list is post-surgery leg elevation . It seems simple, right? Just prop your treated leg up on a pillow and go about your life. Indeed, there isn’t that much to it. But the truth is that many people improperly elevate the legs, which can actually make things worse. Understanding a little bit more about this post-op principle will help ensure that you get on the mend faster and with no complications.You often hear surgeons discuss proper foot elevation as the single-most important thing you can do after surgery. Why? Simply put, elevating the lower extremities reduces trauma to the treated area, which can in turn help you heal better and faster. According to the experts, keeping the foot elevated can bring a slew of benefits ranging from minimizing pain and swelling (and therefore keeping you comfortable, even when you’re in the early stages of recovery) to preventing potentially life-threatening blood clots. Place the wedge pillow on your mattress, with the wider end at the bottom and the narrower end at the top. The shell is composed of cotton twill, a durable material that resists wear and tear over time. You can wash and dry the pillow in any household machine whenever a cleaning is needed. Multiple drying cycles may be required, and The Company Store recommends using dryer balls when laundering the pillow. Two sizes are available, allowing you to choose between lofts of 8 or 12 inches.
