Core Products Foam Stress Wedge - Gray

Happy with this wedge! Using it to prop up mattress edge and purchased a second for a seat support. It's solid, not flimsy yet somewhat pliable. Arrived quickly, well packaged and no odd smells. Will purchase again!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been buying these stress wedges for over 25 years and I have never been disappointed. I have tried other stress cushions and not one has provided me the service that these do. They last long and each time they deliver comfort. Allowing me the ability to able to sit for extended periods of time without pain.

I wanted something to help with acid reflux that wasn't 7 inches high, because I am a side sleeper. I didn't even take the plastic wrapper off, I just slid it into my pillowcase under my memory foam pillow and it worked perfectly! I'm very pleased with it and it was one of the best deals, to boot!

I got this wedge to lay my book(s) on while I read at the table. It gives it a little angle so I'm not staring straight down. The book doesn't move around, and neither does the wedge! I keep my pen, pencil, and stylus in the upper corner by poking them into the foam. I can set my readers on it, and they stay put. Now I don't have to fight a book ledge or page holders. I am really enjoying it this way!

“Over 38 years ago, I worked with the Doctor who created the "Stress Wedge." This product used hundreds of pre and post full-spine x-rays to prove its effectiveness. The Stress Wedge actually changes/animates all your spinal curves once you sit on it. No other back support product does this. The stress wedge will help stop "energy dissipation" and most of your spinal pain and discomfort.”

I use this in my van it helps my lower back to be angled properly to avoid lower back pain. I have used them for years but usually get them from my Chiroprator. I just ordered this one directly since I knew they work. They do wear out or breakdown over time which only makes sense. I probably get a new one approximately every 6 months. My lower back usually lets me know when I need a new one. Anyway I find they work great and this one was exactly like the ones I have gotten from my Chiropractor. He is he one that recommended it and it does work wonderfully.

I used to get it from my chiropractor. But I flind it in Walmart for few dollars cheaper. It helps my back also easy to clean. I put it in the washer and let it air dry .

Foam was a lower quality than expected. This wedge seems like it will last six months maximum--if I put it in a pillowcase to protect it. if you are looking for something for long-term use, I recommend looking elsewhere.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I definitely can sit more comfortably. I have hip joint problems and my PT suggested a wedge pillow. The price is low but the foam is not very dense. The cushion compresses after an hour of sitting. While it is uncovered, I find that to be a plus. I don't slide once I sit down.It is better than nothing and I will probably upgrade to a firmer pillow after my hip replacement.

How one rates this product would depend on the intended usage. For my purpose it isn't dense enough. I bought it as a tool to help do rehab exercises for a foot tendon injury. I need to stand on an incline when doing certain stretches. This is not dense enough and gives too much. They had one at the PT center that worked better....I thought this looked the same and from the description sounded dense, but it doesn't suit my purpose well enough.
