Helps with facial wrinkles AND heartburn!
I purchased this item to solve two problems: heartburn and compression wrinkles. I've got GERD and wrinkles under my eyes from smooshing my face into my pillow at night. Two birds, one stone. Verdict?
Learning to sleep on your back is going to be a challenge, especially if you're like me and burrow into your covers. The first few nights I tried were not great. I felt like on was on display or something. It's becoming progressively easier and the results are as expected. I'm not waking up with heartburn in the middle of the night, and the lines around my eyes aren't being reinforced every time I sleep. In an unexpected turn of events, the texture of my skin around my mouth looks better, too. I guess I was tucking my chin when I slept and giving myself creases that way as well. Oh, and I also use this while watching TV in bed. I flip it around and it makes a much better back rest than some stacked up bed pillows.
The cover is soft and removable for washing. I use another regular pillow on top of it when I'm sleeping. The only complaint I've got (which is very minor) is there are no decorative pillowcases made for this, so I'm going to have to bust out my sewing machine if I want the wedge to match the rest of my bedding. There are replacement pillowcases made for this, but they're all the same cream color.
I really wish I had purchased one of these years ago, back before my wrinkles were so pronounced. But you know what they say... the best time to plant a tree is 20 years ago, and today. :P
Hope this helps!
