Heartburn, Acid Reflux, GERD, GORD, Laryngopharyngeal Reflux (LPR), and similar medical conditions all result from acid seeping upwards during sleep when laying flat. When sleeping slightly tilted gravity helps stop this occurrence and reduces associated discomfort and sleep disruption.

The Putnams Bed wedge can be used for many different medical conditions including:

• Acid Reflux (GERD/GORD) / Heartburn / Gastro-oesophageal reflux disease
• Laryngopharyngeal Reflux (LPR)
• Snoring reduction
• Shoulder Surgery
• Hiatus hernia (Oesophagitis)
• Rhinitis
• Glaucoma
• Esophageal Motility
• Vertigo
• Respiratory problems
• Varicose veins / Swollen ankles / Phlebitis /Oedema  (when the wedge is placed under feet)

The Adult Bed Wedge can be used in three many ways:

• Place it under your pillow to sleep in a raised comfortable position, ideal for sufferers of hiatus hernia, rhinitis, glaucoma, vertigo, and respiratory problems. The Putnams bed wedge helps keep you upright and comfortable at the same time.
• Use as back support in bed.
• Place the Bed wedge at the bottom of the bed to raise and support your legs. This provides relief from varicose veins, swollen ankles, phlebitis, and oedema.
