 Poor durability Sep 14, 2008
By B. Rhees
I purchased this product to help with lower back pain. The wedge did smell a bit on the chemical side at first, although I was able to tolerate the odor until it dissipated (something like a week). Most importantly, it helped tremendously with my back. Unfortunately, this lasted only a couple of months, and now the wedge seems to offer little support (the 7" vertical height in the back is now naturally compressed to something like 2"). I'm a bit ambivalent about the purchase. Yes, the sleep is worth the money, but I would imagine you could make a more durable pillow.

 Awesome relief for acid reflux! Jan 14, 2008
By J. Hill
This pillow has worked better for me than some very expensive medication. Such a simple solution for nighttime acid reflux. I wish my doctor had had me try this first instead of just resorting to a prescription!
I got the 7-inch height rather then the 12-inch, and it creates plenty of elevation for me (granted, I'm pretty small). But I feel like the 12-inch wedge would feel like sitting upright, and might be better as a reading-in-bed pillow but not so great for sleeping. 7-inch creates enough elevation to alleviate reflux, but I still feel like I'm lying down. This pillow is also great for reading in bed with a pillow or two stacked on top. And I admit, my fiance and I have come up with a few other fun uses for it in the bedroom. :)
The pillow initially had a bit of an unpleasant foam smell, but this has dissipated. I put a towel over it and that seemed to solve the problem. Shipment arrived quickly and in great condition. Would definitely buy again!

 Do not buy this wedge pillow! May 26, 2009
By Laurie A. Costello
"Amazon Shopper"
This pillow is like sleeping on a sack of cement! Get memory foam instead. Oh, and when I called Vitality Medical the day after receiving this to say it was completely unacceptable, I learned that I had to pay the $15.00 to ship it back to them. Awful product, horrendous customer service and I'm out $15.00. Be warned!

 Great to Try for Reflux, But Not Durable Dec 09, 2009
By Ames
I have had this pillow for two months and find it great for nighttime reflux. However, I am back on Amazon shopping for a new pillow because this pillow has flattened so much symptoms are coming back. So for $30, why not try it? But keep in mind you may be buying more than one, or searching for a higher quality item in a few months.

The Goldilocks Dillema Aug 19, 2009
By E S K
For years I have had the 'too hard/ too soft' pillow problem. Finally with this 7 inch wedge I thiink I found my solution. I have only had it a few days so I don't know about durability, but as of now it seems 'just right". I need extra height for my sinuses, but I don't like a pillow that is hard as a rock. This 7 inch wedge gives the height without delivering a crick in the neck, like a very firm pillow might do. So, I just add my very soft latex pillow on top of the wedge and it's very comfortable. I can even sleep on my side or stomach. Actually, I haven't been able to sleep on my back for many years ever since I had panic attacks, because dropping off to sleep on my back made me startle awake with a feeling like choking. I might be able to sleep on my back with my upper body propped up this much. So, maybe this fairy tale will end with 'Happily ever after.' if this wedge doesn't hold up over a few months, I will look for one just like it, but with better durability. Now that i know what works, I would be willing to spend more for durability if I must.
