These bed wedges are great for helping to relieve some of the discomfort caused by pregnancy, and the reclined design make for a fabulous nights' sleep. The wedge is wonderful for people with asthma due to its' gentle incline that provides enough of an incline to help prevent blood from pooling in the lungs which can cause severe nighttime breathing issues. This wedge can be used to prevent coughing and post-nasal drip. Post-nasal drip is caused by mucus flowing down the back of the throat and into airways; this can cause a person to develop a chronic cough, but the incline of this wedge pillow provides enough elevation to put an end to the mucus pooling at the back of the throat and getting into a person's airways. Furthermore, this can reduce overall inflammation and irritation in the throat and airways, leading to healthier and happier patients. Additionally, the wedge is able to reduce pain and swelling for sensitive joints based on where the patient chooses to place the pillow. These wedges are highly recommended by doctors for many patients that have recently had a major surgery.
