Elevating Head While Sleeping - Question

[Guest guest]

Hi Group,

My Mom (Dorothy) had her neuro appointment today. The Doc recommended

that she elevate her head while sleeping at night. Has anyone out there

tried this? What results? How high should she elevate? Should she get

some kind of a wedge? What material should is the best? Does foam work?

Thanks for any replies.

HI,

I found that this is a wonderful help to me.

Do a search on wedge pillow.

JC Penney's have wedges to sleep with both in their regular catalog and they

have a catalog just for disabilities, which is very interesting. I have 2

wedges one is about an 8 inch and the other 12 inches at the highest. I use

the 8 usually and the 12 when I am really not well. I also sleep with a

small (5x8 inch) pillow with some sort of hulls in it. I put this above my

ear when I lay down, so that my spine stays in alignment.
