It’s your best friend’s birthday, and you �nally decide to head to the new Italian restaurant that
you had beenCocoon
eyeing Mattress
for a long time. You dine with mindless abandon– from garlic pasta, spicy

tomato sauce to tons of wine. When you return home fully sated, you
have only one
 thing on your mind– long, deep, restful sleep. But the moment you lie down in

bed, it hits you like a train. What? Acid re�ux.

We have been in such a situation many, many times, when we have gobbled down food and
washed down alcohol like there’s no tomorrow, only to stay awake all night with a tummy ache,
discomfort, and heartburn. Acid re�ux is extremely common, and that’s mostly because of our
eating habits. Of course, there are people with weak digestive systems who are more prone to
acid re�ux, but it almost always happens because of the things we eat or drink.

Among the many reasons that can disrupt sleep at night , there is acid re�ux. Anyone who has
ever experienced acid re�ux will be acutely aware of how di�cult it makes sleep. You keep
tossing and turning, drinking water, pacing up and down the room, downing digestives in hopes
of making it better, but it isn’t easy to get rid of. The result is that the next morning you aren’t

sleepy, but also not feeling your best. All because of the birthday dinner that you so
enjoyed.

What Is Acid Re�ux?

Eight Sleep Mattress
Before we goReview
into details
2022about the pillows made for acid re�ux, let’s �rst discuss what acid
re�ux is and 
why it happens. Although we know it by many names – acidity, indigestion,
dyspepsia – it’s the same thing – gastroesophageal re�ux disease (GERD).

What Exactly Is the Cause of Acid Re�ux?
Review

Acid re�ux is caused by hiatal hernia, a condition in which a part of the stomach pushes up
towards the chest.
Cocoon This is the cause of acid re�ux, when the stomach and lower esophageal
Mattress
Review (2022diaphragm. 
sphincter push above the Update) The diaphragm muscle is responsible for helping keep

acid in our stomach. When a part of the stomach pushes up, and above the diaphragm, the acid
moves up into the esophagus. The muscles of the diaphragm are supposed to be taut, keeping
the opening leading from the stomach to the esophagus closed. During eating or drinking,
these muscles relax to allow the food to pass to the stomach, and then they tighten again. In
people with GERD, the diaphragm muscles are weak, and they don’t relax when they should.
This prevents the esophageal muscles from closing completely and allows stomach contents to
push back up the throat. This is what causes indigestion, bloating, heartburn and discomfort.

Acid re�ux is more common than any other condition. About 60 percent  of the American
population experiences acid re�ux every year, with more than half of them getting weekly
symptoms. Acid re�ux clearly needs more attention than just popping digestive supplements.

There are several factors that cause acid re�ux. Some of the most factors are:
 • Eating too close to bedtime

• Consuming acid triggering foods, such as alcohol, spicy or fatty foods, and ca�eine
• SmokingHelix Midnight Luxe

As we realize, most of the factors that cause acid re�ux are manageable. But since acid re�ux

way most people are used to elevating their head, but it isn’t of much use.

This is when you should use wedge pillows that have been specially designed to keep the head
elevated while supporting the rest of the body. While wedge pillows have a number of di�erent
uses, they are mostly used for elevating certain parts of the body such as the head the
shoulders the back or the legs. As the name suggests, these pillows are shaped like a wedge
and are a little �rmer than regular pillows, which allows them to provide better support. Wedge
pillows are also used for elevating the head for people who snore or have sleep apnea or need
support during pregnancy.

Wedge pillows are a simple, a�ordable, and risk-free solution to treat nighttime GERD quickly. It
won’t make your symptoms disappear but will make sleeping at night a lot easier. It is also far
safer than popping pills or undergoing surgery. Wedge pillows are available online and at major
bedding stores.

The MedCline Re�ux Relief System was created by Dr. Carl Melcher, a life-long su�erer of acid
re�ux. Dr. Melcher aimed to create a natural treatment alternative to nighttime re�ux by
creating the recommended incline + left-side sleeping position. This three-component sleep
system has been studied extensively by the Cleveland Clinic in multiple clinical trials showing
signi�cantly more relief than a standard bed wedge.

The Sleep System is designed to keep sleepers on the left side throughout the night while
keeping the torso elevated. This is one of those systems that prevent the sleeper from sliding
down from the wedge pillow while providing support to the entire body with the help of the
body pillow.
