Upper Body Elevation Night Reflux
Upper body elevation night reflux uses a torso incline to limit acid migration—an add-on to earlier, smaller, and milder dinners, not a fix for midnight heat alone.
Upper body elevation night reflux uses a modest incline—wedge pillow or bed risers under the mattress head—to reduce acid migration when spicy or late dinners cannot move earlier yet. Six to eight inches at the torso helps more than stacking pillows that bend the neck.
Elevation is an add-on to portion and timing changes, not a license for midnight heat. Side sleeping left may add benefit for some.
Common questions
-
Do extra pillows work as well as a wedge?
Often no—neck bend without torso incline helps less. Use a designed wedge or risers under the mattress head for steadier elevation.
