@andiesposito I am happy for you that it works. I wonder where you position your head? Do you sleep with the snake pillow or without it? How do you manage not sliding down if you sleep without the “snake”? Thank you. I struggle every night, my left arm hurts, I constantly wake up and don’t know what to do with the left arm. Please advise

I sleep on my left side; the body pillow keeps me in place. In the MedCline system there is a hole for your (left) arm to go through, which should make using the wedge more comfortable. With GERD you should sleep on your left side. Yes, I do slide down as well sometimes by morning. But all in all, the system I think is an excellent prescription for dealing with GERD. You have to get used to it, though, and there are some (but very few) nights I do not use it. The result of using the system has shown up favorably in my endoscopies. Thanks for your note.
