Wedge Pillow Question
Wedge Pillow Question
I'm wondering if the pressure might go down a tad, once you lie down on the wedge pillow giving the machine time to adjust, or is that just 'wishful thinking'?

Re: Wedge Pillow Question
When you first lie down the machine starts at your minimum pressure...or in some cases at your ramp setting.

Re: Wedge Pillow Question
Using a wedge pillow takes some serious getting used to, especially if you're naturally a side or stomach sleeper. It definitely helps with reflux or keeping airways clear, but waking up halfway down the bed because you've slid off it during the night is a constant battle.
Finding the right firmness and pairing it with a proper contour pillow to keep your neck from craning forward makes all the difference. Otherwise, the shoulder and lower back aches can outweigh the original benefits pretty quickly.
