My doctor said to buy a wedge pillow for sleep apnea and to sleep on my side with it, but it has to have a 30 degree slant. How many degrees is this?

I do not know what degree the slant is on this pillow but find it very comfortable. My Dr. wants me on the slant for reflux and I'm finding this to be most helpful. Also find the slant, as opposed to a head board lift, to be very convenient in that it comes in a zippered case so I can take it traveling if we are driving.

I do not know the degree of slant, but you can slide down the pillow to get less of a slant. also the pillow softens after a while.

30 degrees is a lot! This pillow is probably about 15 degrees but if you add a normal pillow on top you could probably get to 20 degrees.

I'm not sure how much of a slant it has. It's a bout 7 " high then depending on the size of the pillow you sleep on. I think I have seen 12" at Bed Bath & Beyound online. You might try that.

I think the indentation is intended more for the neck, but the pillow's surface has enough give so I've never felt my face was smashed when sleeping on my side. I can't be sure it would be adequate for your needs. Sorry I could not be more helpful.

this pillow is for any type of sleepers, I own four of these , I gave my grandson one & he took it to college, I also got him another one for his bed ,when he comes home to visit during break time.I bend this pillow any way, I'm a side sleeper. I had surgery some months ago and I was able to bend it for my comfort at the time. I love it!

The curvature is both on the ends (thickest) and center (thinnest) part of the pillow. Thus, you have great support whether you sleeps on your back or side (right or left).

This pillow has two very different sides. One side has a fiber fill and the other is a cool memory foam side. I personally prefer a cool pillow so I always sleep with my head on the cool side. I am a side sleeper and this pillow works so well for me. My signifant other is a back sleeper and uses the same cool side. I have to mention that the foam side is not very thick, (maybe 3/4 of an inch layer) but having that layer of coolness next to your skin with the support of the fiber fill under it is very comfortable. We obviously love these pillows. Hope this helps.

Works for me! I definitely recommend this brand & type of wedge pillow. I bought the down alternative wedge pillow (no feathers). Besides watching TV from bed occasionally, I am a side sleeper, so along with the wedge, I use a softer King size pillow or body size pillow in front of it. I would say it would not be comfortable by itself unless you sleep on your back & like a firmer pillow. This is not a pillow you sink your head into. I purchased wedge pillow cases w/velcro fasteners that definitely shape the pillow into a firmer wedge. I suggest the covers to protect the pillow and keep the pillow shape from getting sloppy. I too used to sleep with 2 pillows to prop my head up, for sleep apnea & sinus issues, but inevitably the pillows would slide or loose their shape. This wedge pillow has been my best solution yet. I suggest contacting Downlite site(I believe they make these pillows) customer service to see if they have the cases available. I purchased them last year, but haven't seen them listed on their site again.

It does not become flat. It is about a 45 degree angle. The Nursing pillows are a dream, even now when not nursing!

I have no problem with it. If you flip it, it goes from a 60 degree angle to about a 45 angle, giving more of a "laid back" feeling. I can sleep just fine when I am experiencing nights with acid reflux.

I dont think the cushion is at 30 degree but you could just prop up the bottom to get to the angle you need. The pillow itself is very comfortable.

I find it most comfortable for sleeping on your back (head tilted R or L occasionally). After some time, I push it aside and sleep on my side on the traditional pillow that was underneath.

You use the "sides" for sleeping on your side. I can only do this sparingly given prior neck surgery, but it seems to work for my short times

The wedge pillow is like a very firm wedge slice of a mattress. This wedge is long enough that where the thin edge of the wedge pillow comes into contact with the bed mattress is where your waist is. Therefore any bending of the body --- either lying on your back or your side --- occurs at the waist. I am an on the back or on the side sleeper. It works either way. But I prefer on the back --- or on the side with a super fluffy pillow.

Yes, there is a curve. I think it is perfect for a side sleeper. I use the edge when on my side and the lower part in the middle when I am on my back. Works great.

Not specifically... But it gives a nice incline to last a real pillow on. It's about a 30° inclined at most.

The thickest point on each side is 4". There is a "channel" in the middle that cradles your head such that the 4" are supporting your neck to keep your spine straight. I originally bought my pillow from a chiropractor and have replaced them through the years from his office, but found this one on Amazon and was pleased. If you have neck or back problems, this is a great pillow!

Based on the measurements I took, the wedge pillow is 23 in. long, 22 1/2 wide and 7in. deep. I'm only 5 ft tall and I prefer to go as high as I could; with the top of my head close to the highest point, the bottom wedge reaches down to my mid-lower back. I'm about 163 lbs, so I fit comfortably into the wedge- my body does not hang out on the sides. I also like to use a pillow and I find the most comfortable position, surprisingly, is to place the pillow close to the top. I initially placed the pillow closer to the bottom of the wedge and I couldn't get comfortable. For me, it was worth buying.
