A member asked:
How much should the height of the pillow be if i have sleep apnea and reflux (i don't use cpap?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
I'd recommend a position where your chest is higher than your abdomen. This is best accomplished by raising the head of your bed on 6-8 inch blocks if possible. Another method is putting a wedge under the head of your mattress.
