You are not alone. Research shows that up to 40% of GERD patients are unresponsive to acid-suppressing medications, such as proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), leaving these patients in need of an alternate treatment option. Lifestyle changes, such as dietary modifications or sleeping on a bed wedge, are often recommended for treating GERD symptoms without medications.

The MedCline Reflux Relief System has been clinically proven to be significantly more effective than a bed wedge (87% less esophageal acid exposure on MedCline vs. a bed wedge) and was rated 2x as comfortable. For those seeking an alternative to acid-suppressing medications; those who continue to suffer with nighttime break through symptoms; or for those for whom medications do not work at all, MedCline offers an effective alternative to medications.

Many GERD sufferers have tried unsuccessfully to stack pillows at night in an attempt to elevate their torsos for reflux relief. Not only do pillows shift around during the night, causing many annoying “rebuilds”, pillow stacking does not elevate your torso significantly enough to find relief. The ideal angle of torso elevation for reflux relief is 15-20° and the key is maintaining this angle while sleeping on your left side. This inclined + left-side sleeping position is created and maintained by the MedCline Reflux Relief System, with no building or rebuilding required, for all-night comfort and relief.

Yes! Our MedCline Reflux Relief System, which includes the wedge, an insert pillow, and the body pillow, is designed for side sleepers and, for best reflux relief results, we recommend sleeping on your left side. We are the only patented acid reflux relief system on the market designed for side sleepers, at the doctor-recommended incline for natural reflux relief.

We do not currently offer the wedge pillow of the MedCline Reflux Relief System on its own. Each system comes with the wedge, an insert pillow, and the body pillow, as well as one set of covers (installed).

Our MedCline Reflux Relief System includes the wedge pillow, an insert pillow for comfort and head support, and the body pillow, as well as one set of covers (installed). You may purchase additional covers separately.
