The Abco Tech Bed Wedge provides an incline rising to 12”, or if placed on its end, 25”. Like most wedge pillows the main intended use is support of the upper body to help with conditions like acid reflux and snoring, as well as providing support and making it easier to rise from bed. The 12” elevation is higher than most wedge pillows, which can be a positive or negative depending on your needs.
The main wedge is made from a firm polyurethane foam, with a 1” layer of memory foam on top. This provides a firm and supportive base while having enough give to maintain comfort.
The wedge also comes with a washable cover and is non-slip to help it stay in place wherever you are using it. Although simple, it is highly regarded, especially by those recovering from surgery.

The Cushy Form has a typical wedge design, rising to 7.5”, and is made of a form core with a memory foam top to provide comfort. The design can also make it great for other purposes, like providing support in a seated position or to elevate legs, but its prime purpose to provide back support.
The elevation height is ideal for helping address issues like acid reflux, snoring and sleep apnea, as well as aiding recovery from surgery. However, it is also low enough that it does not cause postural problems if you are a side sleeper, meaning that you can retain the benefits of elevation without having to change your sleeping style.

The Xtreme Comforts Wedge Pillow is another model that follows the typical wedge design. This has a 30-degree incline, reaching a maximum height of 7”. This is enough to bring the benefits of elevation without forcing a particular sleeping position.
One benefit the Xtreme Comforts pillow offers over other models is that it uses a dual-layer memory foam throughout its construction. As well as helping it to retain its shape, it also means that it offers a more consistent level of give and resistance when in use.
The wedge shape means it can be used in a variety of ways, while the bamboo washable cover has a quilted design to add to the comfort of the memory foam.

The AllSett Wedge Pillow system is actually two separate cushions. Individually these can work as a wedge pillow for the back and a leg pillow to support the knees. However, they can also be used in combination to create an adjustable unit, creating different heights or angles.
The AllSett is made entirely from memory foam, so it retains its shape and provides consistent cushioning. The set also comes with a plush navy fabric. This helps by providing some grip when the cushions are being used with each other, while remaining soft to the touch. However, the blue also helps the AllSett cushions blend in and look less sterile than other wedges that tend to come in plain white.

With four separate pieces the Lunix LX5 includes a leg pillow and head pillow. However, for the core of the set, the back cushions, the LX5 does away with the traditional wedge design entirely. Using a sloped support cushion and a curved wedge pillow the LX5 does not offer just a choice of configurations, but instead can be adjusted to precisely the angle and support you need. The back cushion can also be used in two different ways to help adjust the level of lumbar support it provides.
The variety of uses means that the LX5 is ideal for recovery, while the individual components can all be used in a normal bed.
The cushions come with sturdy Velcro straps to help avoid slippage. It also includes vacuum bags to help reduce the size of the individual cushions for storage.

While most wedge pillows are intended to support the top of the body, the Fanwer is designed to be used differently. With a longer shape it is intended to provide support at the side. It also has an R-shaped slope, making it more comfortable in use as well as easier for others to put into place and remove if help is needed.
While it can be used for other purposes, such as leg support, it is ideal for those who might need some support from the side, such as when pregnant. The longer shape means it can provide this without the need for a large wedge that intrudes onto the partner’s side of the bed.
The best wedge pillows usually follow a simple design. Whether you give priority to quality, features, or value, it’s definitely worth choosing one that can work in different situations that match your needs.
