I have one from Dunelm, it's much chunkier than most of them. - I still use a couple of pillows with it though. It was only available online, not in their shops but I've had it a few years now and it's still nice and chunky so it was a good buy. Well done for quitting the weed, saving your lungs and saving money - win, win👏👏👏
Hi I tried assortment of pillows to prop me up but none were very effective. I've now bought a wedge pillow from online site ( complete care shop) and I love it 🙂 they do many different types of pillows etc so you maybe able to fnd one that suits you 🙂 keep well Gx
Hi, I also need the sleep upright, it does help the mucus, Try your palliative team, they could put you forward for a hospital bed that gets you into that position but helps to keep you there. Pillows I find move out of place and you end up almost flat. The bed has an automatic position handset so you can get to the position that suits you best.
Firstly im new to this site but I to have only just been told that I have copd. Well done on quitting smoking. Im trying but finding it so hard. How did u give up? in regards to a pillow have u tried looking on amazon or ebay?

Once home I never felt the urge to smoke - last cigarette was 14/11/18 - and still going
Keep trying hun - you will succeed - I never want to feel like I did again
Amazon sell folding back supports for beds which should help keep the pillows from sliding. Have just ordered one. And perhaps one of those inflatable neck supports used for travelling.
