Avana Mattress Elevator - Under Bed 7-Inch Incline Foam Support - Riser for Acid Reflux, GERD, and Sleep Relief - King

I purchased this incline foam support to elevate my mattress as mentioned in a Dr Mercola article and inclinedbedtherapy.com to see if it helps with a variety of things. I purchased the king size. I liked it so much that I recommended it to my mother, mother-in-law and brother-in-law. Each purchased one (total of 2 queens and 1 full). They all arrived quicker than anticipated and in great shape. The packing is great to unroll and you need to let it sit out to get into shape. I let them sit out 4 or 5 hours. They have no odor which I appreciate. I find this is a great solution to raising the head of the bed without having to put blocks or whatever under the bed and it does not put strain on my king size metal bed frame. It has a 6” difference between head and foot. This mattress has helped with my husband’s plantar fasciitis and circulation in my feet. You may need to give it time to adjust or see some results. After a week of sleeping on the inclined mattress, I noticed I wasn’t getting up at 3am to go to the bathroom. In the short time they have used this product, it has helped with my mother-in-law’s acid reflux, and has helped my brother-in-law fall asleep faster at night. The “negatives”? It changes the look of the bed if you are picky about that sort of thing. When I see the inclined mattress - it actually makes me look forward to going to bed! Also, my mother-in-law, who is 82 and petite, mentioned that it is more difficult to get in bed with the additional inches/height. This may not be a problem if one has a lower bed frame, thinner mattress or just uses something safe to step on. Also, we experienced a little overhang of product at the end of the bed but a fitted mattress hides it. I would highly recommend this product and find that it is a great solution at a reasonable price for inclining my bed.

Best thing I ever did for myself. The incline has made my heartburn practically disappear, and has helped my back pain because I can now let my mattress do its job instead of lying on an uncomfortable pile of pillows. I should have asked for help putting them under my mattress, though! Getting them on the bed platform was easy, but putting the mattress back on top was NOT. The extra friction added by the foam really made that a two person job.

Trying to resolve positional sleep apnea and GERD. One of the suggested things to do is to raise the head of your bed. This seemed like a better solution as well as a chance to give some idea of what an adjustable bed would be like. I've tried wedge pillows in the past but it just doesn't seem as helpful to have just your upper body elevated. You don't really notice the incline using this option other than getting into bed. Seems to be helping - very glad I bought this.

I've had/have severe choking and other night time awakening issues. I purchased the 7" bed wedge in hopes of alleviating some of those issues. At purchase time I was told it would take about a month to be shipped to me, but it ended up being close to 2 weeks instead. I guess that's a plus? As others mentioned, you won't be able to return it because us mortals don't have the ability to wrap the wedge up tight enough to get it into a normal shipping container back. I didn't notice any strange smells. I have noticed less choking at night. This has been good, but it the choking hasn't completely gone away. I'm not surprised, but I'll take any little help I can get. Others mentioned falling off the bed. I'll say it took me a few weeks to get used to the angle. I still find myself having to scoot up the bed periodically, but it's not so bad to the point where I'd stop using it. 7" is probably extreme for most, but given my terrible issues it was better to go with the higher wedge. Oh, and my cat doesn't like sleeping at the head of the bed anymore, which means less cat fuzz all over there. I guess the biggest question with all this is would I keep using it. The answer so far is yes. It's definitely strange but I believe on net it's a positive thing.

Works very well, comfortable, sturdy, easy to maneuver for setting up (not heavy).

The mattress elevator/wedge did help with my breathing. But I did stop using it eventually because I started to get hip pain from the position changes. But everybody is different so it is a reasonable thing to try if someone needs to elevate their bed. But, I would recommend getting recommendations from a physician and also to be sure about this item before removing it from the box on arrival. Once out of box it will be a horrible (& unsuccessful) experience getting it back in box. And my experience is that I have to wait till a “bulk trash pickup” from City and these only occur twice a year.

I have suffered from acid reflux for years. My doctor said I must sleep in an inclined position and suggested an adjustable bed which i could not afford. I had been using a wedge pillow and found it uncomfortable - it rarely made it through until morning as I am a side sleeper and that was almost impossible using the wedge pillow. I began a search on Amazon and found this full bed wedge. The price was reasonable and the concept made sense so I ordered it. A few short days later it arrived (two twin sections). It took minutes to "install" (king size bed - under the mattress and on top of the box spring) by two 60-somethings. I have been singing it's praises ever since and even told my doctor about it so he could tell others who are on a limited budget. My husband does not have the acid reflux problem but says it's completely comfortable for him without any "breaking in" period. I would love to say it helps his snoring but it's really not made a significant difference there. Doesn't matter. The purpose for this purchase was for my intense acid reflux and it helped alleviate symptoms probably 98%. The only time it doesn't give me a great night's sleep is when I don't pay attention to what and how late I eat. That's on me. This bed wedge is wonderful and I recommend it highly!

These are bulky, hard as a rock, and the company’s customer service is horrible. When I attempted a return I was told by the company to “Wrap a rope around them and pay for return and 20% restocking fee.” They arrived vacuumed sealed, so they won’t go bank in the box. All around a terrible experience. Update; I tried to use the Amazon A to Z for help with a refund. After multiple attempts and threatening to drop Prime, Amazon gave me a gift card and left me with the risers. After 20 yrs with Amazon we no longer buy larger or bulky items from Amazon. We also not buy from 3rd party sellers on Amazon. By the way there is a notice stating most people return these list well below their add page. The refund/return policy is not listed anywhere on the sellers page. Lastly the reviews make this product seem better than it actually is; how can it be “returned frequently” yet have all four star reviews……

Great product . Works well.!

good quality have had these for three yrs still in good shape did NOT compress less than a half inch with a thick 14 inch gel mattress that is very heavy

This foam under mattress wedge puts the whole mattress at a gentle incline and works really well to prevent reflux. It was shipped on time and was easy to set up. There was an issue with the cover not fitting properly and the company was great in arranging a refund promptly so I give them thumbs up for that. Overall very happy with this product ...we have adjusted to the incline no problem...it is a great solution for reflux while still having a good night's sleep. Thank you Avana

Très efficace pour régler les problèmes de reflux gastriques. Améliore le sommeil .Facile de s’adapter à l’inclinaison.Facile à installer.Ne s’affaisse pas sous le poids du matelas même si le matelas est très lourd. Le foam n’arrive pas recouvert comme sur la photo. Très satisfaite de cet achat😃😃

Under mattress elevation works for our health concerns: GERD and getting a good night's sleep. Thank you!
