Description
The Bed Wedge 10 Inch is the mid-rise version of the manufacturer's firm foam bed wedge, lifting the upper body 10 inches on a 24 by 24 inch base, in navy with a zippered cover. It is the height many reflux and breathing routines step up to when a gentler slope is not enough.
- 10 Inch Rise – A steeper slope than the 7 inch – more elevation for stubborn reflux and breathing difficulty
- Firm Polyurethane Foam – Firm foam holds the angle all night – the slope does not flatten under the shoulders
- Zippered Removable Cover – The cover zips off for washing – a nightly-use wedge stays fresh
- Navy Colorway – This listing is the navy version – the manufacturer's deepest blue, practical for home and facility use
The Step Up When a Gentle Slope Is Not Enough
Wedge height is a dosage decision. The 7 inch rise handles mild reflux and light elevation, but when symptoms persist, the answer is usually more angle, and the 10 inch wedge is the manufacturer's middle step: noticeably steeper, still comfortable for a full night's sleep.
The construction matches the rest of the line, firm polyurethane foam that elevates the head for breathing comfort, circulation, and pressure relief, with a zippered cover that removes for washing. Turned the other way, it elevates the feet for relief of swelling. The manufacturer notes the design is doctor recommended for relief of hiatal hernia, and this listing is the navy colorway.

Why Mid-Rise Is the Right Answer for Many Sleepers
Too little elevation leaves reflux untreated, and too much can slide the sleeper down the bed. The 10 inch rise is the working middle: enough angle to change the night, not so much that sleep becomes a negotiation with gravity.
- Meaningful Angle – Three more inches than the gentle wedge – elevation that changes reflux and breathing outcomes
- Angle That Lasts – Firm foam keeps the 10 inch rise under load – the elevation at 3 a.m. matches the elevation at bedtime
- Washable Cover – The zippered cover comes off – a nightly medical device can be kept clean like bedding
