Wedge pillow helpful for nasal congestion issues?
I tried using a wedge pillow in the past but it still made my neck sore in the AM. I also tried using a pillow over the wedge pillow so I wouldn't be so elevated. Anyone have a good experience using a wedge pillow and is it ok to use another pillow on top of the wedge pillow for comfort?

nasal decongestants
Does anyone out there have any positive experience using nasal decongestants long term to help relieve stuffiness at night while sleeping? I know they are intended for short term use; however anyone use them moderately and find them helpful?
