Funding help for a sleep cushion in Ontario
Bed wedges and sleep pillows are not Assistive Devices Program items. That program is for eligible wheelchairs, approved scooters, seating prescribed with a mobility device, and some wheeled walkers. March of Dimes Canada, Veterans Affairs Canada, and private insurance sometimes help with rest and recovery gear. Westin Healthcare's staff work with these programs every week. Visit our funding page or call (905) 451-7743 before you buy.

Frequently asked questions
Is 16 degrees enough for reflux?
Orthex positions it for mild digestive and breathing symptoms. The 23 and 30 degree wedges are steeper if a clinician asked for more lift.
Can I add a pillow?
Yes, if your head and neck stay aligned. Orthex says the extra pillow is a preference, not a requirement.
Is it made in Canada?
Yes. Orthex Canada Inc. makes it in Quebec.
What is the warranty?
Orthex prints five years from the date of purchase against manufacturing defects.
