Pillow stacking for acid reflux fails every night — pillows compress and shift until your head is back near flat. The RECLINE's 10.5-inch high-density foam core doesn't compress under body weight — the 30–45° incline you position yourself on at bedtime is the same angle you're sleeping on at 3am. The 1.5-inch breathable comfort top adds the surface comfort that a bare foam wedge lacks. Two built-in pockets for your phone, remote, or glasses. A carry handle for moving it between rooms.
30–45° clinical incline. Foam that holds. Pockets for the nightstand stuff.
- CLINICAL 30–45° INCLINE — 26CM TOTAL HEIGHT: 26cm of total height creates the 30–45° upper-body elevation that clinical guidelines for GERD and acid reflux recommend. This elevation uses gravity to keep stomach acid in the stomach during sleep — the mechanism that makes lying flat worsen reflux and sitting up relieve it. The RECLINE achieves this angle structurally, without pillow stacking.
- DUAL-DENSITY CALMCORE FOAM — HOLDS ALL NIGHT: 1.5 inches of breathable foam on top for surface comfort — soft enough against the body without causing pressure. 10.5 inches of high-density foam core underneath for structural stability — the wedge doesn't sag or compress under body weight. Pillow stacking fails because pillows are designed to compress. This foam is designed not to.
- 2 BUILT-IN POCKETS + CARRY HANDLE: two pockets with different opening directions hold a phone, remote, and glasses without them shifting out during sleep. The carry handle makes the RECLINE portable between the bedroom and living room — use it for reading or TV in the living room, bring it to the bedroom for reflux elevation at night.
- ZIP-REMOVABLE MACHINE-WASHABLE COVER: the air-layer 200 TC cover unzips and machine-washes on a gentle cold cycle — the cover comes off the foam for separate washing. Breathable enough for warm sleepers and smooth enough against skin to be comfortable through the night. Available in Classic, Ice Silk, and Plush cover options.
Elevating the upper body at 30–45° during sleep reduces nighttime GERD events by using gravity to prevent stomach acid reflux into the esophagus — the clinically standard positional intervention.

Why positional elevation reduces reflux — and why foam wedges outperform pillow stacking
Lying flat allows stomach contents to flow backward through the lower esophageal sphincter — the mechanism of acid reflux. Elevating the upper body at 30–45° uses gravity to keep stomach acid below the esophageal entry. Clinical studies consistently show measurable reduction in overnight reflux events at this elevation angle.
Upper body elevation also opens the posterior pharyngeal airway — the same mechanism that makes snoring worse when flat and better when propped up. For mild snorers, the 30–45° elevation of the RECLINE reduces the soft-tissue collapse that causes most non-apnea snoring during sleep.
Reflux events during sleep — even mild ones that don't fully wake you — cause partial arousals that fragment sleep architecture. Reducing overnight reflux through positional elevation reduces these arousals, improving sleep continuity even when the reflux events weren't being consciously noticed.
For anyone whose sleep position is making their reflux, snoring, or congestion worse.
The acid reflux and GERD sufferer
Lying flat triggers your reflux. You wake with heartburn, a sour taste, and a sore throat. You've tried pillow stacking but it collapses.
The RECLINE's 10.5-inch high-density core holds the 30–45° elevation all night — the gravity-based mechanism that keeps acid where it belongs, without the pillow collapse that happens by midnight.
The snorer
You snore. Your partner is losing sleep. You've been told it would help to sleep elevated but you haven't found a comfortable way to do it.
30–45° upper body elevation opens the pharyngeal airway and reduces the soft-tissue vibration causing snoring. The RECLINE provides this elevation structurally, without requiring an awkward stack of pillows.
The congestion sufferer
You're congested from allergies or a cold. Lying flat means the mucus pools and you wake up unable to breathe through your nose.
Upper body elevation drains the sinuses by gravity — the standard clinical recommendation for acute and chronic nasal congestion. The RECLINE elevation holds consistently through the night.
The post-surgery recovery person
You need chest, abdominal, or back elevation for recovery — your surgeon recommended elevated sleeping but hasn't given you a specific solution.
The RECLINE provides consistent elevation at the clinical 30–45° range, with a comfort foam top that sits against the body and a structural core that holds position.
The in-bed reader
You read or watch TV in bed but have no back support. You slouch or lie at an uncomfortable angle that leaves your back sore.
The RECLINE doubles as a reading backrest — the structural wedge provides back support for reading and TV watching. The carry handle moves it between bedroom, living room, and wherever you use it.
Position at the head of the bed. Lie on it. The foam holds the angle.
Position the Wedge
Place the RECLINE at the head of the bed with the tall side toward your head. The 50×50cm base sits on the mattress surface. Position yourself so the upper back and head rest on the wedge slope.
50×50×26cm Clinical WedgeUse the Pockets
Slide your phone into one pocket, the remote into another. The two different-opening directions allow access from either side. Your nightstand items are at hand without being on the mattress surface.
2 Built-In PocketsSleep Elevated
Settle into your sleep position on the wedge. The 10.5-inch high-density core holds the 26cm elevation through the full night — no collapse, no adjustment, the same 30–45° angle when you wake as when you fell asleep.
