How Can I Use the Harley Bed Relaxer Support Pillow?
The Harley Bed Relaxer Support Pillow is quite versatile, and can be used in an upright position as seen in the picture below, or it can slide under your pillows to provide support to the neck and head while you sleep. Placing the pillow in an upright position is perfect for sitting up in bed and reading, while placing the pillow underneath pillows can help to reduce back pain and help with respiratory problems while you sleep.
How Can the Harley Bed Relaxer Improve Back and Neck Pain?
The Harley Bed Wedge Pillow improves your back and neck because it works to improve posture. Ordinary pillows can cause havoc to your neck, forcing you to sleep in unnatural positions that can lead you to wake up feeling sore and stiff. The Harley Bed Relaxer forces your back and neck into a straight but comfortable position, helping to significantly improve your posture and letting you get a good night's sleep.
How Can the Harley Bed Relaxer Improve Acid Reflux?
Acid reflux is caused by acid leaking from the stomach and into the esophagus while a person is asleep. Acid reflux pillows such as the Harley Bed Relaxer allow the sleeper to sleep at a slightly raised position in bed, meaning that the chances of acid reflux are lower. Raising the head, shoulders and torso, this wedge is an ideal acid reflux or GERD pillow.
How Can the Harley Bed Relaxer Help Prevent a Vertigo Attack?
As we sleep and wake up we often change the position of our head, which can trigger vertigo. Sleeping on your back in an elevated position is highly beneficial in preventing a vertigo attack, but it's not always the most comfortable. The Harley Bed Relaxer allows for you to comfortably stay sleeping on your back, in an elevated position, in order to prevent triggering a vertigo attack as you wake up.
How Comfortable Is the Harley Bed Relaxer Support Pillow?
The Harley Support Pillow is quite firm, but perfect for those who struggle to sleep flat or sleep without a prop. Our reviews at the bottom of this page suggest that users have found the pillow extremely comfortable and ideal for sleeping with a slightly raised torso while you are asleep.
Please bear in mind that the Bed Support Pillow is quite firm to sleep on and is recommended for users who want a little elevation while they sleep. If you would like a pillow that has a lot more give and lets you sink into the material, then we would recommend you take a look at the Mediflow Water Base Orthopaedic Pillow.
Can I Use the Harley Bed Relaxer for Sleeping?
The Harley Bed Relaxer is ideal for those who either have difficulty sleeping without a prop, or need to sleep at a slightly raised level due to health reasons. This works by placing the pillow under your existing pillows, with the narrower end closest to your neck. This will raise your head naturally to an angle between 20° and 30°, a position that feels natural and allows you to retain comfort.

Can I Use the Harley Wedge for Sitting Up in Bed?
You can place the flat side of the wedge against the headboard of your bed or against the wall that is positioned at the end of your bed. As seen in the photo below, the Harley is an ideal pillow to sit up in bed, perfect for reading before bed, or eating breakfast in bed the following morning. By forcing you to sit at a straight angle, your overall posture is improved and pressure is taken away from high pressure points in your spine.

What Angle Is the Harley Bed Relaxer Actually At?
If you are suffering from an illness or recovering from an injury, it may be recommended that you have to sleep at a specific angle that is best suited to your condition. The Harley Bed Relaxer is positioned at an angle between 20° and 30°, which has just enough raise to keep your body elevated, but not enough to cause discomfort during use. If you use the pillow at an upright position this will support your back in a natural position, perfect for improving posture.
How Wide Is the Harley Wedge?
The Harley wedge is 46cm wide (18 inches), meaning that it should fit under a wide pillow. If you require a wider pillow, then you can try the Putnams Wedge, a similar head raising foam wedge that is 76cm wide (30 inches) and can fit across two pillows.
