Description
The Bed Wedge 12 Inch is the steepest wedge in the manufacturer's line, raising the upper body a full foot on firm polyurethane foam, in navy with a zippered cover. It is the choice for significant reflux, hiatal hernia symptoms, and breathing routines that need maximum elevation.
- 12 Inch Rise – The maximum slope in the line – full elevation for serious reflux and breathing support
- 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
Maximum Elevation for Sleepers Who Need the Full Angle
Some nights need the whole slope. The 12 inch wedge is the manufacturer's highest rise, built for the reflux, hiatal hernia, and breathing cases where gentler angles have already been tried, and for post-surgical routines where the clinician specifies a steep elevation and expects it to hold until morning.
It is firm polyurethane foam for the same reason the smaller wedges are: elevation only works at the angle it started. The base measures 24 by 25 inches in the distributor's listing, the cover zips off for washing, and the wedge doubles as a leg elevator for swelling when turned around. This listing is the navy colorway.

Why the Steepest Wedge Exists
Elevation is prescribed in degrees, and mild wedges underdose the patients with the worst reflux and breathing difficulty. The 12 inch rise delivers the full angle in one firm foam piece that cannot slump, slide, or be kicked apart like stacked pillows.
- Full Prescription Angle – Twelve inches of rise – the elevation clinicians specify for significant reflux and hernia symptoms
- Angle That Lasts – Firm foam keeps the 12 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
