Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This pillow is a great value because you can use it in your home as well as when traveling. When going on a trip, fold the pillow and take it with you Initially I bought this to take on a 1 week cruise. I have reflux and need an inclined pillow. I first considered an inflatable, but could not find one that, from the reviews, I felt sure would hold air for the entire time. It is one thing to lose air when you are home and have options, quite another when on a cruise ship with very limited options. Because I had previously bought an InteVision Wedge pillow for use when visiting one of my sons, I knew the quality of their product and my satisfaction with it. I can now say that I am very pleased with this folding wedge pillow and very glad I bought it instead of an inflatable. I will be able to use this pillow with confidence for many years. When you receive the pillow, it will be compressed and in the form of a role. But when you remove the plastic and open it up, the pillow starts to expand. In a hour or so it will be full size and ready to use. The dimensions of the pillow are 7"x26¨x32¨when open,7"x26"x16" when folded. The pillow is well made and well designed. It is composed of 2 pieces of foam held together by a fitted cover made of 100% polyester, medium weight,that is zippered so that each section of foam can be removed to permit the cover to be washed. What enables the pillow to fold is the reinforcement of the cover between the pockets for the 2 sections of foam, which acts like a hinge. The pillow comes with a very nice bag to put it in when folded. The bag is designed so that it looks as though you are carrying a suitcase. Nobody would know what was in the bag from its appearance. I need a pillow more than 7 inches high, but can easily raise the high end using a rolled towel. The 2-piece design of the pillow makes this easier to do than with my solid pillow since only the higher half rises. The lower half remains unchanged. One of the benefits of this is that now I don't slide off the pillow during the night. When I raise the high end of a one-piece pillow the slope of the entire pillow increases, making it more likely that I will slide down the slope during the night. I wondered how I would like the 32" length since previous pillows I have used were not this long, but I find that I prefer it. One reason is that I no longer ever have the low edge of the pillow pressing into my lower back. It is a very comfortable pillow in use. Carrying this pillow when traveling by car should not be problem. You can carry it the car like any other luggage. With respect to air travel, if you are traveling on the larger airplanes rather than the smaller regional jets, you can put it in the overhead bin. It is certainly no larger than many of the bags now being carried on the plane. You may not want to check it in only the bag that comes with pillow, but if you have a large enough bag you can put it in it with other things. This is what I did when flying home after the cruise and it suffered no damage whatsoever. I did, however, have to carry another bag so that I would have with me the things that were removed from the larger bag to make room for the pillow. Based on my experience, I can highly recommend any of the InteVision wedge pillows, including this one. Now that I am home from the cruise, I am continuing to use this wedge pillow. I sleep on it with a pillow and am much more comfortable than I was with my previous wedge. A double-duty wedge pillow, one you can use at home as well as on your travels, is worth having if you have reflux as I do. 2 for the price of 1.
