Wedge Pillows

A wedge does one thing a stack of pillows cannot: hold a constant angle. Stacked pillows slide apart and flatten unevenly through the night, so the elevation you fell asleep at is not the one you wake up at.

Two jobs sit in this collection. Elevation wedges raise the upper body or the legs at a fixed incline. Mattress gap wedges fill the space between mattress and headboard so pillows, phones and remotes stop disappearing down it, held in place by grip dots rather than by being wedged tight.

For raising the legs specifically, leg elevation pillows are shaped for it. For sitting upright rather than sleeping inclined, see reading pillows.
