“Love this bed wedge, my partner and I were slightly concerned that we may struggle to sleep at an angle but we have had no issues with that. But just be aware that it's not a miracle cure and you can still get symptoms despite the support this bed wedge provides”
“This undermatress wedge is brilliant. For more than five years before I discovered it, I slept with wedge pillows, and couldn't stand it any longer; when sleeping on my side, the angle of the wedge forced my hips to bear most of my upper body weight because that is what wedge pillows do. They lift your torso at an angle, which begins at the hip. This is inherently an unnatural position, and predictably, I suffered with chronic hip pain and joint inflammation. As is often the case, one solves a problem (GERD/Reflux issues) and the solution creates another problem. I've been using the full length under-matress wedge for months now, and the hip pain is largely gone. More than that, I am married, and for the first time in years, I and my spouse lay down together without being separated by a veritable "cliff," where I am up the mountain and he is below. Also, I had forgotten how good it feels to lay naturally flat when I sleep. The wedge angles up from the feet to the head, which gradually and comfortably places the body in an optimal position to control my health issue. But strangely, it doesn't feel as if I am on an angle. It feels as if I am laying flat. Fantastic. Its nice to have that again. I sleep better, we sleep better, and I cannot recommend this product highly enough. Last thing, the advertisement shows clearly the full-lenth of the wedge under a matress. If I could, I'd post a photo of our super king bed. In actual use, the wedge is not visible at all. The sheets and blanket drape nicely over each bedside and completely hide it. I can appreciate Putnams' desire to be candid by showing the product without hiding it. The fact is that because the matress angles gradually up, when it is actually used, the bed linen easily hides it. This is my way of saying that I was initially concerned with the radical appearance in Putnams' photo. But in actual use, it isn't radical at all. And it provides comfort, while simultaneously providing noticeable health benefits, not to mention that it allows greater intimate communication between life partners.”
“I was an existing customer that had an existing bed wedge but, after a knee replacement needed to increase the size of my bed which made my wedge too small. Hedley at Putnams designed a cost effective solution for me that used my existing wedge and arranged to supply an additional cutting to increase match my new bed size. A pragmatic and cost effective solution which I was extremely grateful for - a really good way to look after an existing customer. Thank you Putnams and Hedley.”

“I was wary of this purchase wondering if sleeping on a slope would be uncomfortable but, actually, it's fine. I find I slide down about 3 to 4 inches in the night but I've not yet ended up in a heap on the floor!
I've only been using the wedge for almost three weeks but I have noticed some improvement in both my breathing (asthma) and acid reflux (hiatus hernia). The wedge does seem very expensive so I hope I continue to see clear benefits.”
“Our Doctor informed us that we should raise our bed at our head end by around 4 inches to help our health problems. He suggested putting a book under the end but we did not think that this would be a good suggestion so we went looking and found Putnams. We do have a high mattress and with the Putnams wedges it made it a little strange getting into and out of bed, but we become used to it. Now we find our health has improved and hope that this will continue. Many thanks Putnams.”
