Customer Reviews of Duro-Med Ortho Bed Wedge with Blue Polyester/Cotton Cover, 8 x 20 x 24
Customer Review: Wish it was higher
Summary: 4 Stars
Quality made, fairly priced product. I'd definitely buy a pillow case for it if you can.Customer Review: Not as comfortable as it seems... for long periods of time
Summary: 3 Stars
RECOMMENDATION: Buy the memory foam version of this.
I'm only saying this because I had pre-conceived notion how this wedge would work. I expect it to create a zero-gravity feel that would take a lot of the stress off of my back, in conjunction with my Tempurpedic bed. However, after about an hour my inclination is to kick it off. The best strategy in using this unit is to use it prior to going to sleep then you normally kick it off during the first hour or two of sleeping.
When using with the memory foam "comfort pillows" to prop up your back, it works better, however I have a feeling you'll feel better with the tempurpedic/memory foam version better. The foam basically does not conform to your lower body as it is too "blocky".
Spend the extra for the conforming version.
Customer Review: INITIALLY COMFORTABLE, BUT...
Summary: 3 Stars
OVER THE PAST THREE YEARS I HAVE TRIED A NUMBER OF PILLOWS, WEDGES, AND OTHER PRODUCTS TO RELEIVE MY BACK PAIN. THE SIZE OF THE DURO0MED BED WEDGE IS PERFECT FOR MY HEIGHT. THE SHAPE WAS ALSO INITIALLY VERY COMOFRTABLE; HOWEVER, THIS WEDGE IS NOT FIRM ENOUGH TO KEEP ITS SHAPE BEYOND 20 TO 30 MINUTES OF USE. I WAS QUITE DISAPPOINTED IN THIS FACTOR BECAUSE I WANTED A COMFORTABLE WEDGE THAT HELD ITS SHAPE BETTER THAN THIS ONE DOES. I GUESS I WILL HAVE TO JUST KEEP LOOKING.Customer Review: Ortho Wedge

I am not able to sleep all night with the wedge under my legs because it is too high. It works well for my back, but my legs are not comfortable sitting up so high.Customer Review: Hard as a rock, feet fall asleep
Summary: 2 Stars
I have to scratch my head and wonder, did I get a different wedge then the good reviews? This thing was comfy for very short periods of time then my legs would ache and my feet would fall asleep. I have good circulation, no health problems (I was recovering from elective surgery when I used this). I really worried this could cause blood clots because it was so hard. I think the shape and height was good, but the hard material it was made from made it only good for short periods of use.
