HOW TO CHOOSE A WEDGE PILLOW?

No single wedge pillow will suit everyone’s needs. Every sleeper is unique and has different sleep preferences. Therefore, you have to keep your comfort in mind before choosing a wedge pillow.

Moreover, you might need it to alleviate some medical conditions. In that case, you have to choose a pillow that can give you relief.

Here are certain things to consider before choosing a wedge pillow.

• Size and Weight of the Wedge Pillow

Wedge pillows are much larger than regular pillows. So, make sure you don’t buy a size that gives no room for your partner to sleep. Buying a medium-sized pillow is the best option. Pregnant women usually need a small wedge pillow to support their belly.

High-quality wedge pillows weigh more and support your body better. For example, a latex wedge pillow is quite heavy and will provide much-needed support to your neck and shoulders.

• Incline of a Wedge Pillow

You will mostly get a 30-degree wedge pillow or a 45-degree wedge pillow in stores. However, you will also get pillows with a higher or lower incline.

The ones with a lower incline can be used as a wedge pillow for legs. In comparison, pillows with a higher incline are used to rest your back when you sit up on your bed.

• Firmness of the Wedge Pillow

Most wedge pillows are either firm or medium-firm. If you are a back sleeper, you should go for a firm one. Medium-firm wedge pillows are meant to sink a little and are better for side sleepers.

• Price

Wedge pillows can be pretty expensive compared to regular pillows of basic quality.  A high-quality wedge pillow will cost you somewhere between $50 to $100.
