Support for Acid Reflux, Heartburn & Better Sleep

Nighttime acid reflux can make it difficult to get comfortable, stay asleep, and wake up feeling rested. Many people find that symptoms become worse when lying flat, leading to heartburn, throat irritation, coughing, disrupted sleep, and general discomfort throughout the night.

A bed wedge pillow is designed to gently elevate your upper body while you sleep, helping support a more comfortable sleeping position without needing to stack multiple pillows. By maintaining a stable incline throughout the night, a bed wedge can provide consistent elevated support for people managing acid reflux, GERD, and heartburn symptoms.

Handmade in the UK and shipped directly across the USA, our bed wedges are designed to provide reliable comfort night after night.

Why Elevation Helps Reduce Nighttime Reflux

When you lie completely flat, stomach acid can move upward more easily during sleep, often leading to nighttime reflux, heartburn, coughing, or throat irritation.

A bed wedge gently elevates your upper body to help support gravity-assisted digestion and reduce pressure while lying down. Unlike stacked pillows, a structured wedge maintains a more stable incline throughout the night, helping you stay comfortably elevated without constantly readjusting your position.

Many people use a wedge pillow as a simple, non-invasive way to support more comfortable sleep and reduce nighttime disruption caused by reflux or snoring.

Why Acid Reflux Often Gets Worse At Night

  • Lying Flat

    When you lie completely flat, stomach acid can move upwards more easily during sleep, increasing the likelihood of nighttime reflux and heartburn symptoms.

  • Gravity

    Gravity naturally helps keep stomach contents where they belong during the day. When lying down, that support is reduced, making reflux more likely.

  • Acid Travelling Upwards

    Without elevation, stomach acid can travel towards the oesophagus more easily, leading to discomfort, burning sensations, and disturbed sleep.

  • Throat Irritation

    Nighttime reflux can sometimes reach the throat, causing irritation, soreness, hoarseness, or discomfort when you wake up in the morning.

  • Coughing

    Some people experience persistent coughing or throat clearing at night as reflux irritates the airways and upper throat while sleeping.

  • Sleep Disruption

    Reflux symptoms can interrupt sleep throughout the night, making it harder to stay comfortable and wake feeling rested the next morning.

Acid Reflux & Bed Wedge FAQs

Many people first try stacking pillows before switching to a proper bed wedge. Here are some of the most common questions people ask before making the change.

Can a bed wedge help acid reflux?

Many people use a bed wedge to help manage nighttime acid reflux symptoms. By gently elevating the upper body, a bed wedge can help support a sleeping position that reduces the likelihood of stomach acid moving upwards during sleep.

What height bed wedge is best for reflux?

A 6-inch bed wedge is often considered a comfortable balance between elevation and sleep quality. It provides enough incline to support elevated sleeping without feeling excessively steep for most people.

Is a wedge pillow better than extra pillows?

Stacking pillows can create uneven support and often compress or shift throughout the night. A bed wedge is designed to provide a stable incline across the upper body, helping maintain elevation more consistently while you sleep.

Can I sleep on my side with a wedge pillow?

Yes. Many people comfortably use a bed wedge while sleeping on either their back or side. For reflux sufferers, left-side sleeping is often recommended, although the most comfortable sleeping position will vary from person to person.

Does sleeping elevated help GERD?

Sleeping with the upper body elevated is commonly recommended as part of managing GERD symptoms at night. Elevation may help reduce the likelihood of acid travelling upwards while lying down and can support a more comfortable night’s sleep.

Can a wedge help silent reflux?

Some people with silent reflux use a bed wedge to help reduce nighttime symptoms such as throat irritation, coughing, hoarseness, or frequent throat clearing. Elevating the upper body can help support better sleeping posture for reflux management.

Why is heartburn worse at night?

Heartburn often feels worse at night because lying flat makes it easier for stomach acid to move upwards into the oesophagus. Reduced swallowing during sleep can also make it harder for the body to clear acid naturally, which may lead to increased discomfort and sleep disruption.
