Elevating Your Bed with

Blocks or Books

Placing books or blocks under your headboard, in order to raise the head of your set of bedding will damage your bed and lead to a sag in the middle of the mattress.  If this insufficient support is discovered by a third party mattress inspector researching a warranty claim, it will void the manufacturer’s warranty.  Check any major manufacturer’s warranty and you will find the same information. 

An elegant solution to this situation is using a foam wedge between the mattress and the box spring.  This will provide the elevation necessary to reduce or mitigate nighttime acid indigestion.  It also allows you to sleep on the mattress that you selected for your level of comfort, you can sleep in any position that you are comfortable with and use the pillows that you love.  If you Google “MediWedge” you will find a foam wedge that enables you to accomplish this.

If you have other questions regarding mattresses, let me know.  I have 20 years of experience in the bedding industry – on the manufacturing side of the business and should be able to answer many questions.
