Our founder, Dr. Carl Melcher, diagnosed with Barrett’s Esophagus, knew there was a better way to end his nighttime pain. He developed the Reflux Relief System as the better, natural solution he was looking for. Our Reflux Relief System is:
TOTAL:
Better Sleep
Natural Relief Without Medication
Protection Against Harmful Acid
FSA/HSA Aproved
The MedCline Reflux Relief System offers relief from painful, nighttime acid reflux so you can sleep better at night and feel better during the day. This patented Sleep System is the only product on the market today that creates and maintains the doctor-recommended inclined, left-side sleeping position in one simple solution for effective, natural acid reflux symptom relief.
The Reflux Relief System creates a 15-20° angle, so those with herniated disks, compounded disks, bulging disks, fused vertebrae, scoliosis, or lumbar damage, arthritic hips, bursitis in the hips, or hip injuries often find it difficult to tolerate the angle that MedCline creates.
The MedCline Reflux Relief System delivers all-night comfort by raising your entire torso and esophagus 15-20° to reduce painful nighttime breakthrough GERD symptoms. With a patented arm pocket to remove pressure from your downside arm and shoulder, the therapeutic body pillow, and smaller insert pillow, you will sleep comfortably each and every night.
Proven position for natural relief
Designed to create the ideal, doctor-recommended left-side + inclined sleep position. MedCline has been validated in seven independent clinical trials as the most effective natural treatment for heartburn, regurgitation, coughing, choking, nausea, and the many other painful symptoms of GERD...all while you sleep!
Protection against harmful acid
Proven to reduce exposure to harmful stomach acid 87% better than a bed wedge. Sleeping on MedCline protects against the long-term health consequences of untreated nighttime reflux, such as Barrett’s Esophagus or esophageal cancer, without stacking pillows or sliding down a bed wedge.
Proper sizing is important
Available in three sizes to ensure proper torso fit. During checkout, simply input your height and we will determine the perfect size for you. Proper sizing is important, as the wrong size can lead to an uncomfortable sleep and ineffective symptom relief.
7 Clinical Trials
Patented Sleep System
No More Stacking Pillows
Systems take up ½ of a queen-sized bed
Small System:
Wedge: 6" tall, 27" wide, 29" long
Body Pillow: 5" tall, 18" wide, 45" long
Medium System:
Wedge: 7" tall, 30" wide, 32" long
Body Pillow: 6" tall, 22" wide, 50" long
Large System:
Wedge: 8" tall, 30" wide, 35" long
Body Pillow: 6" tall, 22" wide, 50" long
Components are compressed for shipping. Once decompressed, fluff the body pillow and insert pillow vigorously and to help regain their shape. MedCline can be slept on immediately but can take 72+ hours for any residual "new memory foam" smells to dissipate.
Foam typically takes about 30 nights to break in and meld to your body. Keep an eye out for helpful videos that we will send via email after your new system arrives. Also, feel free to contact our team of Sleep Specialists if you have any questions during your adjustment period.
All system components come with removable, washable cases installed. Additional cases are available for purchase.
While some customers find relief on night one, others may need a little extra help adjusting to the new sleep position. For all MedCline customers, we offer free one-on-one counseling with a MedCline Sleep Specialist. Our team will help you find comfort and relief, including offering comfort tips and ensuring that you have the best product to meet your needs. Customers are able to set up appointments directly with a Sleep Specialist for a dedicated time to talk. We also have a series of helpful videos available for all customers. We are committed to helping every MedCline customer get a good night’s sleep!
You are not alone. Research shows that up to 40% of GERD patients are unresponsive to acid-suppressing medications, such as proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), leaving these patients in need of an alternate treatment option. Lifestyle changes, such as dietary modifications or sleeping on a bed wedge, are often recommended for treating GERD symptoms without medications.
The MedCline Reflux Relief System has been clinically proven to be significantly more effective than a bed wedge (87% less esophageal acid exposure on MedCline vs. a bed wedge) and was rated 2x as comfortable. For those seeking an alternative to acid-suppressing medications; those who continue to suffer with nighttime break through symptoms; or for those for whom medications do not work at all, MedCline offers an effective alternative to medications.
Many GERD sufferers have tried unsuccessfully to stack pillows at night in an attempt to elevate their torsos for reflux relief. Not only do pillows shift around during the night, causing many annoying “rebuilds”, pillow stacking does not elevate your torso significantly enough to find relief. The ideal angle of torso elevation for reflux relief is 15-20° and the key is maintaining this angle while sleeping on your left side. This inclined + left-side sleeping position is created and maintained by the MedCline Reflux Relief System, with no building or rebuilding required, for all-night comfort and relief.
Side sleeping is often recommended to help decrease snoring. The patented arm pocket of the MedCline Reflux Relief System allows you to sleep comfortably on your side by removing pressure from your downside arm and shoulder and the Therapeutic Body Pillow provides side-sleeping support so that you are unable to roll to your back. Instead of putting tennis balls on your pajama shirt, try MedCline!
Yes! Our MedCline Reflux Relief System, which includes the wedge, an insert pillow, and the body pillow, is designed for side sleepers and, for best reflux relief results, we recommend sleeping on your left side. We are the only patented acid reflux relief system on the market designed for side sleepers, at the doctor-recommended incline for natural reflux relief.
We do not currently offer the wedge pillow of the MedCline Reflux Relief System on its own. Each system comes with the wedge, an insert pillow, and the body pillow, as well as one set of covers (installed).
Our MedCline Reflux Relief System includes the wedge pillow, an insert pillow for comfort and head support, and the body pillow, as well as one set of covers (installed). You may purchase additional covers separately.
Studies show that 93% of patients report a reduction in nighttime acid reflux symptoms while using our MedCline Reflux Relief System. Further, 89% of patients reported a reduction in regurgitation and gagging after while using our MedCline Reflux System. And studies find that acid exposure in the esophagus is reduced by 87%.

Many doctors just want to put you on medicine. I wish the gastro doctor I went to seeking help for acid reflux recommended the MedCline system as an alternative to drugs that have so many side effects! This is sort of unrelated to this pillow, however, as an example, at 58 I started getting frequent UTI symptoms. I went to a urologist who FIRST ‘chose an alternative’ to drugs - 2 supplements: D-Mannose and cranberry capsules. Ever since, ALL symptoms gone and no longer recurring. NO DRUGS! I told her she saved me! This is the way I feel about MedCline!!! Ever since I’ve used the (complete) Reflux System - NO more acid reflux issues, and NO DRUGS! Thank you MedCline! And thank you too for the new color Dove Gray color cases, love them also. I think this is my 2nd review but I just had to say more. 😊 Oh, and I tell ALL my friends and others about the MedCline sleep systems if acid reflux (or shoulder pain) comes up. 🤩

This pillow has reduced my reflux cough by at least 75%. I don't cough when I first lay down at night now with this pillow nor do I cough upon awakening. It took a few nights to get used to sleeping with this system--inclined--but it is so worth it! I am grateful.

I am a repeat customer and find that the combination of the candy cane pillow and the wedge with the movable center pillow works well together. My first Medcline Reflux Relief wedge is six years old and sagging, so I opted for a new one. Only this time I bought the complete system, not just the wedge. The system rules.
This system works so well, I travel with the wedge. My family teases me sometimes and I get funny looks as I tote it into hotels on a cart, but it is worth it when we have room in the car. I wish Medcline made one that was part foam with a collapsible air bladder or whatever it takes to make a more compact travel version.
I learned I have severe sleep apnea almost two years ago and can't sleep on my back without more issues, even with a BiPAP. So side sleep is a must. This system works well and I tend to stay off my back.
When I have the will power to NOT snack within four hours before bedtime, I get very significant relief from GERD with the wedge. I would get more relief if I could sleep on my left side, but bursitis wakes me up after a few hours, so most of my sleep is on the right side (the side least effective at reducing GERD).
I recommend the Medcline system often to people trying to deal with GERD without harmful medicine. I also tell people to drink 8.8+ pH water, especially in the morning, to neutralize any Pepsin that has leaked into the esophagus in the night.
