Support and Comfort All in One With a Wedge Pillow
The versatility of the wedge pillow is only now starting to be realized. In terms of medical use a wedge pillow can help reduce heart burn and back pain, improve blood circulation, relieve stress and decrease swelling. The gentle slope of a wedge pillow makes it comfortable enough to sleep on, but will also work as a support when you are relaxing after a long day.
Memory foam and polyurethane foam are the most commonly used materials in wedge pillows. Both of these materials offer support as well as comfort. Memory foam will even mold to your body making it even more comfortable. It is the combination of firm support and comfort that make wedge pillows so versatile.
A wedge pillow can be used under the knees to offer support to the lower back. Used in this way it will also help improve blood circulation to the lower extremities and reduce swelling of the legs, ankles and feet. When used to support the upper body there are many advantages over traditional pillows. For example they are firmer and sturdier, there is less tension and stress in the body and there is no need to rearrange the wedge pillow every 15 minutes.
Using a wedge pillow will reduce general body aches and back pain. They also offer support to the neck and shoulders. It is as if you are being supported by a cloud.
