Kölbs Bed Wedge Pillow – 24 x 24 x 7.5 in

Overview

The Kölbs Bed Wedge Pillow is a triangular foam wedge that lies on top of the mattress to raise the upper body, or the legs, at an incline. The top 1.5 in is plush memory foam and the core underneath is high-density foam, so the surface is soft while the wedge keeps its shape. This listing is the 24 × 24 × 7.5 in size (item KBBWC24247); a taller 25 × 25 × 12 in version is also made.

The cover is a grey and white jacquard weave that zips off for washing; the label gives a delicate cycle at a maximum of 60 °C (140 °F), no bleach, no ironing, no dry cleaning, and tumble dry low or air dry. The foam core is spot-cleaned only. The wedge is shipped compressed in plastic and needs several hours, and up to 24–48 hours, to expand fully; new memory foam has a slight scent that airs out over the same period. Kölbs wedges are distributed by K2 Health Products, Brooklyn, NY.

Specifications

What’s in the box

• 1 Kölbs Bed Wedge Pillow, 24 × 24 × 7.5 in, with jacquard cover (shipped compressed)

Good for

• Sleeping or resting with the upper body raised at a gentle incline
• Sitting up in bed to read or use a tablet

Things to consider

• Unpack the wedge from its plastic as soon as it arrives and give it several hours (up to 24–48 hours) to expand before use.
• Only the cover goes in the washing machine; never machine wash the foam core.
• The 7.5 in height gives a lower incline than the 12 in Kölbs wedge; check which height suits the intended use.
• New foam has a slight scent for the first day or two; air it out.
