How Do I Use the Foam Wedge Pillow?
The Foam Positioning Wedge Pillow is versatile and adaptable, providing a number of different types of relief for your full body, including aids for those bedbound or recovering for an injury, looking for a more comfortable and convenient solution to spending extended periods in bed. There are four common setups that will allow you to get the most out of your wedge pillow, read along to learn about the diverse ways you can use it.
a Subtle Recline While Sat Upright
For individuals on bedrest or those recovering from an injury, a positioning wedge can be used whilst sat upright in your bed to watch TV or eat meals, promoting natural alignment of the spine and correct posture. Simply place the wedge vertically with the thinnest portion of the wedge at the top against the headboard of the bed.
Gentle Slope for Side and Back Sleeping
For allergy sufferers or those with respiratory problems that affects your sleeping, using the bed wedge horizontally to provide a natural slope that elevates the upper portion of the body can be an effective solution. This clears airways, prevents congestion and drains sinuses.
Usable Under the Knees to Encourage Circulation
If you're trying to provide targeted support for your lumbar and thoracic spine pain or promote proper circulation in the legs, try placing the positioning wedge with the tallest portion of the wedge under your knees with the pillow sloping down your calves. This will help prop your legs up comfortably and encourage a healthy angle of your pelvis to reduce lower back pain.
Use On Your Lap For Easy Laptop Use
Spending extended periods on bedrest can be frustrating and restless. For those frequently using their laptop in bed for work or streaming, you can place the foam positioning wedge on your lap to provide a subtle and comfortable incline, without having to hold or balance your laptop directly on your legs.
Wipe Clean Cover for Easy Maintenance
Featuring a vapour permeable, wipe clean fabric cover, this wedge pillow repels dirt and stains, keeping your cushion clean for longer. Displaying a deep blue shade, the fabric also minimises stain visibility, ensuring you can use your cushion daily without worrying about staining or damage.
