The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases recommends elevating the head during sleep by using a foam wedge or another appropriate method that raises the head and upper back.
The American College of Gastroenterology also recommends elevating the head of the bed for people experiencing nighttime GERD symptoms.
A wedge can be preferable to simply stacking pillows beneath your head because the goal is to create a gentle incline through the upper body rather than bending only at the neck.
