(9 reviews)Editorial Review: Prilosec OTC is different from other over-the-counter heartburn medication. The lining of your stomach produces acid through millions of tiny acid pumps. When you eat, these pumps switch on to produce the acid that breaks down food. Prilosec OTC works by directly blocking many active pumps. Your stomach still produces enough acid to digest the food you eat. But by reducing the acid, Prilosec OTC lessens the chance that you will suffer from frequent heartburn. Prilosec OTC directly shuts down many active pumps and each daily dose works up to 24 hours. Use as directed as part of a 14-day course of therapy.

inexpensive alternative, 2008-06-27I bought this not for acid reflux, but as an alternative to Liberator Wedge, Blue. My girlfriend and I wanted to try something new and we enjoyed the experience enough to add it to our mix. The foam is stiff enough to provide just the right amount of lift, and it worked much better than using pillows. The cover is washable, but it is made of thin cotton, and the zipper doesn't look very durable so I will probably invest in the other product when I can afford to. So if you are on a tight budget or you want to try before you buy, this works nicely.

bed wedge, 2008-05-09Great product. Used this for child with spitup, would be very useful for those who have children with gerd problems. Also can be utilized for when you are resting on the couch and want to sit up to watch some television without straining neck too much.
Good item without being to high up with its incline. Decent price too for the product.

Nice product, 2008-02-08I ordered this for my mother who has a breathing condition. It elevated her enough to make a real difference. She was struggling with five pillows before and was able to go down to one. If you just have some mild reflux, this may be too high, but for someone who is sleeping in a chair because of breathing difficulties this is just the ticket. Comes with a soft cover so you are not right on the foam. This made a big difference for my mother and she can sleep in her bed again.

not ergonomic , 2007-10-04I bought this after using the 12-inch wedge, which is uncomfortable to sleep on. Both the 7-inch and 12-inch do work for acid reflux, though the 7-inch doesn't work as well because you will tend to slide, making the elevation insuffient. In addition, they are not ergonomically designed. The main problem is the lack of lumbar support. The human spine is not perfectly straight. You need to put a rolled towel under your lower back to feel comfortable, otherwise you'll find yourself sliding down toward the bottom of the wedge in the morning. Prepare to get lower backaches. Also, this is not designed for side sleepers. I'm going to try stacking something under the head of the bed instead.
