(EMAILWIRE.COM, October 28, 2011 ) Atlanta, GA -- According to the American College of Gastroenterology, one of the easiest lifestyle changes acid reflux sufferers can make is raising the head of the bed. Some sufferers go so far as to purchase an adjustable bed to solve the problem. However according to Adele Camens, inventor of the MedSlant pillow, “an acid reflux wedge pillow is a more affordable option and can produce equally positive results.”
The MedSlant was designed to help acid reflux and heartburn sufferers sleep better at night. This acid reflux wedge pillow uses gravity to prevent acid and food from re-entering the throat. In turn, users donÂ’t have the disruptive coughing spells they would if they were using a traditional pillow.
“I designed the MedSlant when I was diagnosed with GERD back in 2000,” said Camens. “Back then, the acid reflux wedge pillows were all too short to be effective. Actually, that’s still the case in many instances today. The MedSlant is long enough to support the whole torso, which really makes a difference when you want a restful sleep.”
Besides acid reflux sufferers, MedSlant pillows are used by those with asthma, hiatal hernias and sinus infections. All MedSlant pillows are made with hypoallergenic foam and can be purchased with an allergen-free case that protects the pillow from dust mites. The pillow can be used on any size bed, including cribs.
The MedSlant wedge pillow has been helping adults and children with acid reflux sleep better at night since 2001. The patented foam pillow has been featured in USA Today, Self magazine, More magazine and various other publications. The company is based in Atlanta, Georgia, but has customers all over the world.
