How do I cover the Bedge? There is no specific cover for the
Bedge, but a regular-sized, fitted crib sheet
will cover it. Alternatively, as its going on top of your regular
mattress, you may wish to cover it, wrapping it like a package, with a sheet
that matches your bedding.
Are Bedges available in my local
store? Generally, the Bedge is only available by mail order. A few
medical supply stores do stock it, and the number is growing. Tell us, by
email, where you live, and well let you know if theres a store near
you.
Can I use the Bedgeon a water bed?
Yes, water beds wont give you as much support as regular mattresses,
but the Bedge will still be effective.
Whats the difference
between a Bedge and a
regular wedge that Id find in a medical supply, or mattress
store? Typical wedges are much shorter than the
Bedge. They may simply bend the neck and
elevate the head, without raising the esophagus above the stomach. Unless you
elevate the whole upper body, youre not getting gravity to work for you
in keeping acid from refluxing. In addition, the Bedge is made of an extra firm polyether and has a
comfortable, "egg crate" sleeping surface.
Can I still use a pillow when
sleeping on the Bedge? Yes. A thin
pillow may provide extra comfort.
How big is the Bedge? It is 9" high at the head, 30" wide, and
42" long.
Wouldnt I do just as well
by elevating the head of my bed on blocks? Elevating the whole bed on
blocks will also help prevent reflux. Unfortunately, this is not easily done,
and elevation of the entire bed may bother a sleeping partner. With the whole
mattress at an angle, you may find yourself slipping down to the foot of the
bed. Finally, there is the danger of the bed slipping off its blocks.
How much does the Bedge? cost? $249.95
includes free shipping and handing in the continental US. Currently, there is
no tax on Internet Commerce.
How long will it take to get
the Bedge? Typically, our FedEx
Ground delivery will get the Bedge to you
within 7 working days, anywhere in the country. Express or air delivery can be
very expensive and is not recommended.
Can I return the
Bedge? once Ive
purchased it? For your protection: We regretfully cannot
accept returns due to the health issue of transmittable infectious diseases as
