The takeaway
If you have acid reflux or a chronic pain condition, a good wedge pillow can be the difference between sleeping or not, along with the possible complications of chronic pain or continual acid in your throat.
But a good wedge pillow can also simply make it easier to sleep and ensure that you get a better quality sleep that helps you wake up feeling like you’ve actually gotten enough rest.
