Best Wedge Pillow?
Best Wedge Pillow?
Hi All...just got home from having an endoscopy and have had all the other belly tests in the last month...ct scan, etc. - all is well, but my problem of distended hard stomach has been determined to be swallowing air from my cpap machine - and I'm at a low pressure of 7.8 as it is. I was wondering if any of you could recommend a good wedge pillow for a side sleeper. Right now I'm just using a regular pillow ... sleeping on my side, switching sides during the night. Due to back issues I can't sleep on my back. Any suggestions would be appreciated...thanks.

There are no good wedge pillows for side sleepers (and most for back sleepers are not good).SleepyDeb wrote:recommend a good wedge pillow for a side sleeper
Instead, it's best to use bed risers under the bed's feet at the head of the bed. I recommend risers that are about four or five inches. Plenty to choose from - https://www.google.com/webhp?sourceid=c ... ath+beyond
We use 4-inch wooden risers from Bed Bath & Beyond.
