What did this product help heal or comfort?
LPR symptoms
“I self diagnosed LPR based on symptoms and was offered only PPIs from my GP. I didn’t want to take these drugs so made diet & lifestyle changes (mainly not eating late in the evening and using an alginate raft OTC medication at bedtime), and looked into buying an anti reflux wedge pillow. This combination has definitely alleviated my symptoms.
The downside of this wedge is that it’s expensive, but it’s handmade in the UK, has a removable cotton cover that you can buy more of and is a longer, lower wedge than the cheap ones you see online. I thought the gentler angle would be more comfortable, as I had a sore neck when wedging my head up on a stack of pillows.
It is comfortable with a slim pillow on top. I do often find I’ve slid halfway down it overnight, and I imagine that would be more so if it was a steeper wedge.
Overall I am pleased with it.”

Silent Acid Reflux
“I have silent acid reflux and a hiatel hernia. After having been diagnosed, I tried several methods to manage my condition and improve my sleep by raising the bed, raising mattress, more pillows etc as well as buying a cheaper bed wedge from a different company (that I returned). All of which I could not get on with so after having read the reviews for Putnams, I thought I would try their bed wedge. It is amazing. It took a couple of nights to get used but it is the perfect height (unlike some alternative wedges), and I have since had some of the best night's sleep in months.
You get what you pay for and I would highly recommend and have since bought a couple more products.”

Acid reflux and shoulder pain.
“The wedge pillow has alleviated the discomfort of acid reflux. It took me about 5 nights to get used to, but the benefits are great. Strangely enough, it has also helped to reduce the pain from a problem shoulder which I have had for decades. I am more than happy with my purchase.”
