Positioning and use cases
Wedges are commonly placed under the upper back and head or beneath the knees for leg elevation. Verify intended use on your model—some designs include a separate neck bolster. Pairing a wedge with a standard pillow may raise overall loft; test combinations before committing to nightly use.
Sliding can occur on smooth mattress covers; a textured mattress protector or non-slip pad between wedge and sheet may help.
Care and durability
- Cover: Machine wash per label; ensure foam is fully covered before washing.
- Foam: Do not fold for storage; compression over time may reduce incline height.
- Replacement interval: Polyurethane foam typically retains shape for several years with regular rotation.
