RS6 White

Okay, so I have a rare immunological disease that makes me have multiple chemical sensitivity so I NEEDED This NOT to smell like it said. It was so hard finding something that was certi-pur certified and/or didn’t have comments about smelling. I threw my back out a few days ago (after years of not having any problems with my herniated discs) I couldn’t walk or move without screaming in pain. Relatives had to help me move every inch. Heating pads, OTC remedies, and a cane started to allow me to move on my own with some pain but not as bad. Sleeping was the worst. I couldn’t find a lumbar pillow that wouldn’t hurt like hell after a couple of hours. I was piling up my pillows like a wedge when I started reading about bed wedges and that’s how I stumbled upon this after hours of searching to ensure no chemical off gassing smell.When it came it was slightly hard to get out of the packaging, but nbd. And then as you remove the secondary wrapping and unfold it to allow it to inflate....BAM hit with chemical smells. Now, for an average person it’s probably tolerable and just a tad annoying. For me, my heart starts racing, I’ll get over heated, and start sweating (sounds insane I know - even more of a pita to deal with). So I was really disappointed that there was SO much advertising on “NO SMELL” “ZERO SMELL” when that was not even close to the truth. Keep in mine I ordered 4 other different brands that also claimed to be certi-pur certified and have no or little smell and all of them had a slight smell, but not like this and none of them advertised it so strongly. Coop Home Goods Was by far the best at only having a slight smell that dissipated in minutes and I don’t think it was even the foam and it didn’t make me sick (so yay for Coop!)Back to this wedge.... After getting over the smell, it inflated fairly quickly. I was surprised at his small/short the free bolster was that came with it. I’m a very petite woman at 5’3 120 lbs and a narrow frame and it seemed small/short for ME. Despite the smell I’ve been in so much pain I decided to suck it up and try to use it to hopefully get SOME sleep which I haven’t gotten in days from this pain. I was told I should go to the hospital to get an MRI, but I’m a stubborn Taurus. The wedge as a whole was comfortable for reading. I did still use a small lumbar memory foam pillow at the bottom of it, without that it was too painful. For sleeping the whole wedge was too big for me (THANN YOU ZIPPER). I unzipped it and used the thicker of the two wedges for my heat and the thinner for my knees/legs. I woke up sweating from all the off gassing, BUT when I woke up I SAT UP!!!! You don’t understand...I threw my back out so bad that every morning when I woke up turning and moving was so painful and I had to turn on my side and use my arms to push my weight up and then a cane and walk for support and eventually let out a little scream through the agony. I have a very high pain tolerance - I had a bone marrow biopsy and a spinal tap and didn’t flinch... nothing makes me yelp so that’s how bad this was. This pillow gave me the first fairly good night sleep I got even with the sweating and chemical reaction! And I cannot believe how much better my back feels! It’s not gone by any means but I can move with less agony which is 100% worth everything. THANK YOU FOR THIS PRODUCT!!!Pros:- compact packaging- inflates quickly- adjustable to your own individual needs and body type- alleviates pain and gives a good night sleep so quickly!!!!Cons:- smells awful and doesn’t dissipate super quickly (will need at least 48+ hours)- packaging so compact it’s difficult to get out especially if you bought it because you threw your back out and are having trouble moving lol- only the blah white pillow cover it comes with...looks like I stole it from a hospital, wish I could order different covers to coordinate my room or make my bed properly

This is a well-designed and made pillow wedge. I love that I can zip apart for a lower elevation wedge and the small pillow is comfortable as well. I'd definitely buy again.

All in all they're amazing for relaxing in my bed to help prevent back pain, and using just one wedge to sleep at night has helped my acid reflex a bit and helps the tiniest bit with my sinuses as well. I think they're more comfortable if you're just looking for something to help keep you upright while supporting you, opposed to actually sleeping, but they're pretty decent for sleeping on too.. if they were just the tiniest bit softer I think I'd give it 5 stars. I really like the half circle pillow to put under my knees, it relieves my sciatica a bit.Honestly though, I need a more stiff bed in general, so I barely find these pillows to be too stiff. I have to use an extra pillow for my head otherwise I risk getting a stiff neck or the back of my head just gets extremely uncomfortable cause it's not heavy enough to push into the pillows more than the tiniest bit.. so I do think these are just *barely* too stiff to be truly comfortable... but overall I am happy with them.

I purchased to help with sleep apnea. The size is great has plenty of room and it has nice soft fabric and the neck roll is a bonus. It is washable as well. I love that it is adjustable and can even be used as a leg lift. It has helped my sleep apnea some however it has not prevented the need for a device (CPAP or oral appliance) so if you’re looking to not use anything extra I can not say this will be the answer. I however don’t sleep well unless on my stomach so while comfortable it hasn’t met my needs and reason for purchase. I kept it because I can no longer sleep laying flat. It is worth a try.

I love my wedge pillow. I especially like that you can change the wedge height - that is one of my favorite parts. I have acid reflux and prefer to sleep on an angle - some nights I like to higher than others. Also the pillow case is a must buy with this wedge pillow. It works great. If you are looking for a quality wedge pillow I recommend this one.

Very comfortable. Smells horrible. If it does not go away in a few days I will have to return. I’m using for pregnancy massage. My whole massage room smelled terrible after.

Perfect solution for need to sleep with your head elevated for whatever reason. Wide pillow with choice of elevation and just the right firmness. After unboxing and unrolling, let the pillows sit for a day to expand to fullness. Extra cover can be purchased if you like.

I bring this with me when I travel to elevate my neck and back while I sleep to avoid back pain. It works. I have had it for 5 years and it is still in great shape.
