Avana Mattress Elevator with Polycotton Cover - Under Bed 7-Inch Incline Foam Lift, Multiple Colors, Twin Size

Many reviews on here complain about this product, working exactly as it is intended to. They just dont want to sleep on an incline and blame the product for this. These people complain about sliding to the bottom of the bed or feeling like they are falling out of bed. If you need to sleep on an incline like this for health reasons there is a couple month learning curve when you first start but its totally worth it. This product works and does just what it says it will do very effectively.I have been sleeping on an inclined bed for over 15 years because of acid reflux and gerd issues. I have used several different methods to achieve this elevation over the years. First I put one end of the bed up on 4 inch wooden blocks. This worked ok for a time but was not the most stable solution and it also moved the floor support leg in the middle of the off of the ground causing sag in the middle of my box spring/matress. Then I found a metal device that nested inside a traditional bed frame under the box spring and again made the center bed foot not have any weight on it and sit at a strange angle. This solution is the best I have used as of yet. As a side sleeper I dont like a traditional adjustable bed because you cant incline the whole bed and need to be on your back to use the incline feature because it bends the mattress in the middle. There are some bed frames that have the same angle and essentially do the same thing (like the gravity bed) but they are far more expensive than this solution. for the price this is definitely the best solution I have tried.

The bottom line is that this is the single best solution at its price point (or anything close) for elevating your upper body during the night (for acid reflux, sleep apnea, etc.).I bought this to help treat my GERD after trying several other products (such as partial body bed wedges, which worked but made sleep extremely uncomfortable as I'm a side/stomach sleeper who naturally tosses and turns a lot). There were a few different brands of full-body mattress elevators out there, but I bought Avana because it had the strictest purity/offgassing certifications, is made in the USA, and seemed to have the best customer service from reviews that I read. That customer service ended up being necessary and it was as outstanding as I'd hoped - more on that shortly.The elevator comes compressed, and if you order it with a cover it comes separately in the same box. I let the elevator decompress for several days (it's almost completely odorless, which is nice) and once it was fully expanded, I went to put the cover on. That thing was not fitting on at all! I took some measurements and noticed that the elevator was over two inches longer than advertised - this extra length not only made it impossible to fit the cover on, but due to the way my bedframe is structured, also made it impossible to fit under my mattress. In the meantime, I tried placing the elevator on top of my mattress for a few days and sleeping directly on it.I wrote to Avana's customer service email and received a very kind message back from a customer service representative Leon, explaining that on rare occasion the mattress elevator can expand more than intended, and offering to exchange it for a new one at no cost to me (even shipping was covered). That was certainly acceptable for me and Leon was very prompt and thoughtful as we worked out the details over the next week. This time around Leon asked the factory to place the cover on the elevator before compressing it - that would ensure the elevator wouldn't expand more than intended. I truly appreciate that kind of service - these days it is harder and harder to find companies that truly stand behind their products and are willing to make things right, no questions asked.This second mattress elevator fits perfectly into my bedframe, has been doing its job beautifully the last two months, and shows no signs of wear nor deformation. I am far more comfortable during the night than I ever was using any other sleep solution, my GERD is well under control, and aside from having to hop up a few extra inches onto my bed at night, allows me to enjoy the exact feel of my mattress.I would advise placing this under your mattress - over the mattress does work as advertised without deforming, but the sturdy foam has very little give and is not a comfortable surface to sleep directly on.Overall, I am thrilled with my purchase, and between the high quality of the product and the outstanding customer service provided when something went wrong, I fully recommend the Avana Mattress Elevator to anyone with a condition that can be improved by elevating your upper body.

Prompt shipment. After unfurling the two wedges and leaving them set out for a day to fully expand, covering them and putting them into place was easy. So far it is working as expected. Takes very little time to get used to the new angle.

First and foremost, I cannot imagine trying to put a cover on this product. Buy it with cover.Pros: comfort; elevation: lack of odor; generally stays in place; two parts (king size) work together fine. It is worth the money because it relieved GERD symptoms and improved my life.Cons: Unless it's under the mattress there is some slippage; it takes a few nights to become accustomed to the height. You may have to change pillows. You can't really use it on only one side of the bed. If you have a Queen or King you can't get a twin size and put it on one side only. It would ruin your mattress. I am petite so getting into this high bed is a challenge because I have a thick mattress and just added 7 inches to height.It's worth the expense.

The mattress elevator for a full bed was easy to unpack, easy to put the cover on, and easy to place under my mattress. The foam smell was minor, and dissipated after 24 hours; the time it takes for the foam to expand fully. The height is perfect for preventing gastric reflux, I’m getting a great night’s sleep.

I am happy with my purchase of the mattress elevator. Once out of the package we allowed it to expand for 24 hours before use. The bed does look a bit funny raised at an angle but I can take that if it means stopping acid reflux! I have not had any issues adjusting to sleeping on it.
