Adjustable Triangular Orthopaedic Wedge Cushion – Back Leg Reflux Support

A 3-in-1 cushion to relieve back, legs and acid reflux

After surgery, in case of chronic acid reflux, or simply to improve comfort in bed or on the sofa, an orthopaedic wedge cushion is the most versatile accessory there is. This adjustable model can be used in three different positions: under the back to elevate the torso, under the legs to improve circulation, or tilted for side support.

Unlike traditional pillows that flatten in a few minutes, the high-density foam retains its shape and maintains a constant angle. The washable cover and discreet design make it a daily ally — at home, in care homes, or during post-surgical recovery.

Why this wedge is ideal for acid reflux and sleep apnoea

Sleeping flat worsens gastroesophageal reflux and sleep apnoea. By elevating the torso by 20 to 30 cm, the wedge uses gravity to keep stomach acids down and clear the airways.

• Optimised incline angle to limit acid backflow without interfering with breathing
• Natural alternative to medication for mild to moderate reflux
• High-density foam: doesn’t sink during the night, unlike stacked pillows
• Improves sleep quality from the very first night

You have circulation problems in your legs

Heavy legs, oedema, varicose veins: elevating the legs promotes venous return. This wedge provides a comfortable incline that relieves the feeling of swelling without cutting off circulation behind the knees.

You are caring for a bedridden or recovering loved one

For a family carer, positioning a loved one correctly in bed is a daily, physically demanding task. This wedge sets up in seconds under the mattress or directly on the bed, creating a stable incline that spares the carer from having to manually hold the patient’s position.

✅ Advantages

• 3 usable positions: back, legs, side support
• High-density foam for durable support without sagging
• Removable and machine-washable cover — flawless hygiene
• Lightweight and easy to move from room to room
• Compatible with bed, sofa, armchair — fits any space
• Affordable price compared to medical wedges sold in pharmacies

⚠️ Points to note

• The foam may have a slight smell when unpacked — disappears after 24 hours of airing
• The incline is not suitable for severe reflux requiring a near-vertical seated position
• When used under the mattress, check that the mattress doesn’t slip — a non-slip mat can help

Our opinion

I recommend this orthopaedic wedge for its value for money and versatility. It’s the kind of accessory you don’t realise you need until you try it. My tip: use it on the sofa for watching TV too — the inclined position significantly relieves the lower back. At this price, it’s a health investment worth every penny. — Anaïs Lotton
