This Wedge pillow has provided me with a low cost, comfortable solution to morning back pain.
We have a fairly new mattress with latex and memory foam top, it cost us $1400. Since buying this mattress over a year ago, I never wake up thinking "I'm so comfortable I just want to stay in bed". Almost every morning, I wake up with pain just below the mid section of my back. I toss and turn all night, from my back, to my sides... I have two support pillows I've tried; one is a support to raise my knees when on my back and the other goes between the knees when on my side. Both are intended to help with back alignment; neither have provided any relief.
When we bought our mattress I tried many options, laying on them for 15 minutes or more, multiple times; my wife was getting tired of how much time I was spending. Ultimately, I never found a mattress that I thought "that is the one!". So, we picked one that felt "OK". After a year of back pain, I pretty much hate my $1400 mattress now so I broke down and went to Sleep Number. The ability to adjust the firmness in a "Number" bed is a whole new game, I walked out of that store with the sense of what felt "right" for me; something I did not have the last time we bought a mattress.
Now, telling my wife we need to replace our $1400 mattress with a $3000 "Number" mattress was like swallowing glass, it didn't go down all that well. In the mean time, I tried this Bamboo memory foam wedge pillow and...
I have slept through the night for the past 10 nights waking up without any back pain. I use this wedge with a low profile memory foam pillow which seems to work for me; I suspect the combination of what pillow to use or not to use with the wedge will be different for each person. I have several different pillows (profile and material types) and each one has a dramatic impact on comfort though out the night.
Some additional details:
I searched many wedge pillows, I chose this one for the moderate 7.5" rise, memory foam layer, and bamboo topper. The rise is not extreme but relieves the pressure my bed applies, and as a bonus I suffer from post nasal drip at night which wakes me up choking; this wedge has also relieved that symptom. The memory foam top is subtle be noticeably adds comfort and the bamboo has a nice even temperature effect. The pillow had some off-gassing which after 10-days is almost gone; All memory foam does this and I can deal with it although off-gassing may bother some people more than others. If you can place a fan on pillow during the day it will help the smell dissipate quicker. These features combined with the price and prime delivery (I received it in one day in the North West) appeared to be the best option when I was shopping, the past 10 mornings without back pain have been wonderful.
I still want a number bed but this $40 investment was well worth it!

Large pillow!!
First, I felt like my Husband would have been best to test this out for sleeping & for laying on the floor. So the following are his thoughts:The pillow is good for stability, if you like to have your pillow stay in place & not flatten out...you'll like it.The pillow stays cool through the night, which I like because I get hot easily while I sleep.The wedge shape is perfect for a little recline but at times if you lay too low it doesn't feel as supportive.For using it on the floor to watch TV, it's just ok...I felt it could be taller for more support.(Husband's Rating: 4stars)These are my thoughts using the pillow for my legs & just a quick test:I used this for my legs & I am plus size, so I expected it to flatten the pillow quickly but it gave good support for the time used. So this is great if you need help with circulation & leg swelling.As a plus size person I wasn't super comfortable using it to nap/lay down. I prefer a bit more height on the pillow. I will say it's comfy for laying on your belly side though & I agree it stays pretty cool.Overall, I'd give it 3.5 stars

Over the last several weeks I've been resting on the Relax Home Life 7.5 Inch Bed Wedge Pillow and it's so comfy! While the pillow is designed to help those with acid reflux (which I do not have) it is definitely making my nights more comfortable. It's wide and at the perfect incline for me for reading, watching TV, and for when it's time to just knock out! I don't normally sleep completely on my back because usually it's uncomfortable given my large lumbar curve, but being able to sleep on my back slightly elevated has helped me breathe better when my allergies are making it challenging to breathe. It is a large pillow, and probably isn't the best looking for those of you who like your beds to look a certain way, the cover is also relatively warm... Can anyone make me a cool wedged pillow case? However, as far as functionality and comfort, I'm a fan!
