Different Wedge Pillow Prices
If we look around the internet, we can encounter quite different wedge cushion prices
in our search. In our article, we review what lies behind the varying prices.
It's not just the price of the wedge cushion that matters
Whatever we plan to buy, we like to thoroughly look around the market beforehand to choose the product that best fits our needs and budget. However, when it comes to our health, we must act with even greater caution, as it is especially important that the product actually fulfills its function and helps us. In the case of a wedge pillow, this is ensured by the proper sizing, material quality/firmness, and tilt angle, with the price of the wedge pillow coming only after these considerations in our priorities.
Wedge-shaped pillow, but what quality?
It is easy to find on the market a wedge-shaped cushion that closely resembles one used for medical purposes, but its material is such low-quality, cheap, and soft foam that it is not really suitable for health use. Beyond the price of the wedge cushion, it is definitely worth
to pay attention to before purchasing:
- If the material of the wedge cushion is softer than necessary, then the wedge cushion may not be able to perform its basic function even in the short term - but certainly not in the long term:
ensuring the proper position of the spine by tilting the pelvis forward
with its tilt. - Sitting on wedge cushions with too hard a surface is unnecessarily uncomfortable, so it is also worth avoiding these.
- The tilt angle of the seating surface must also be optimal; it cannot be too steep or too flat.
- Since it is a product for everyday use, for long-term, trouble-free use, it is worth examining the durability of the cover, its washability, and the quality of the stitching.
If a wedge-shaped cushion meets all these criteria and its price is also appropriate, then we can confidently add it to our cart.
DIY neck pillow?
In theory, it is not impossible for someone to make a wedge cushion at home by hand. However, even if they have the necessary tools and manual skills, obtaining the right materials is quite problematic. The special foam material with the most suitable properties for the wedge cushion is not available in retail; it is used by industry (including the automotive industry) and is not accessible in small quantities.
Cutting the foam into the proper shape cannot be done either
With precise homemade tools, manufacturers perform this with very expensive machines. Even if someone were able to procure all the ingredients, the work involved in making the wedge cushion at home would probably not be proportional to the price of the wedge cushion that we can buy ready-made.
