I invested in an adjustable bed which has been brilliant. I am going on holiday and I am looking for an inflatable bed wedge. Can anyone recommend a good one to buy please?

Hi there. I can’t recommend one as I’ve never bought one but on quick glance, the ObboMed HR-7600 is available on Amazon and EBay (cheaper on amazon) and seems to have good reviews. Good luck! Xx

If you do get an inflatable wedge, do let us all know how you get on with it. Sleeping away from home and the electric bed is never so comfortable. My husband (83, 6 years post-op) manages with lots of pillows but they take up an awful lot of room in our camper-van!

Good luck...

I bought an inflatable bed wedge from Amazon but as with other wedges is is not steep enough to avoid the reflux. When away from home I push the bed into a corner and stack the pillows up against the against the corner wall.

The obbomed hr 7600 is good as it has a flocked surface. Not high enough alone but use under pillows. The pump is poor but I couldnt find another that fitted

Hi - I use an adjustable back rest + pillows when we camp . Inclined to slip down but does help .

Thank you to everyone who commented on buying an inflatable bed rest. I opted to buy An Adjustable Angle Back Rest as violetqueen suggested. I used for the five nights I was away last week with 2 pillows and found it to be fine. I secured the base with a bolster pillow (purely because it was supplied at the self-catering accommodation).

Thanks everyone for sharing your solutions for sleeping away from home. I'll investigate the obbomed.
