Product Description
Contour BackMax Key Features
|
|
|
|
---|---|---|---|
Ergonomic design for orthopedic supportThe Contour BackMax Bed Wedge Cushion Set is MEDIUM FIRM ergonomically design to support the natural curves of your spine. When in its sleeping position (as seen above), the BackMax helps alleviate pressure build up and compression on your spine, joints and muscles that cause discomfort. Use the wedge system together for full body support, or separately for targeted relief! |
Wedge adjusts between 64 - 70 Inches longThe Contour BackMax Body Wedge foam cushion set zippers together and had zipper extenders allowing you to adjust the length of your wedge system to fit your body better. Each wedge can be extended up to 3 inches, which allows the BackMax to support all heights. The wedges together or use the separately. To see more uses check out our wedge positioning guide below. |
8" Wider than traditional size form wedgesMost bed wedges typically come in a 20 inch width. But the Contour BackMax is also available in an extended 28 inch model! Recommend size based on use. If you are using the wedge for leg support or stomach support (yes, this system also supports alternative uses, like those looking for sex wedges), the 20" width is recommended. For those looking to use daily and support for sleep, we recommend the 28" width. |
Stop struggling with repositioningTraditional foam bed wedges cause you to slip and slide throughout the night. With our anti-skid & zipper design, the foam wedge stays in place throughout the night keeping you properly supported and positioned. Additionally, the material is designed to also allow users who unzip the wedges apart to stay positioned as well in whatever configuration they may need support in. |

Foot Rest
You can use them individually or zip them up to make 1 big piece. There are so many different configurations depending on what you need.
I had abdominal surgery and double mastectomy with reconstruction. A 12 hour surgery and came home 5 days later. The first night I could not sleep! I was so tired but no longer had the hospital bed. Trying to lay my legs flat pulled the stitches in my abdomen. I also couldn’t get the right support I needed behind my back and head. I was a miserable, crying mess. So I started looking.
I found all different kinds of body wedges available on Amazon. The one I liked was the most expensive one- of course- this one. It wasn’t a whole lot more but I wanted to know is it worth an extra $50.
The BackMax was a bit more than most sets. The reviews said it was worth it. The other thing I wanted was to make sure my arms could lay comfortably next to me. I didn’t want to end up on this narrow body wedge that I kept sliding off to the left or right. I loved that instead of the standard 20” I could buy a big roomy 28“. No doubt my arms would be fine.
Let me tell you. It looked to be exactly what I needed.
I was lucky and was able to get one the next day. I didn’t realize there were 9 different ways I could configure these wedges.
I was so excited when it arrived. As soon as I got it I configured it to keep me in the “taco” position. This makes the lowest spot your bottom and doesn’t force you to stretch your body straight. It gives you support and keeps your legs and feet elevated. It places your body in a 120˚ angle – the most relaxed position for your heart, body, and nervous system.
The Back & Torso Wedge elevates the upper body to ease digestion, snoring, and sinus congestion.
The Knee & Leg Wedge reduce stress on lower back and elevate the legs to the approximate level of the heart to aid proper circulation.
This set saved me. I was in so much pain. Having the BackMax I was able to sleep comfortably and that made it much easier on me to deal with everything I was going through.
Things I really appreciated about the BackMax.
So easy to reconfigure even with having to unzip and zip back up, good quality materials. Good quality foam. It’s very light. It did not have any smell at all- no dye or manufacturing smell. The cover is so soft. It is a Sherpa cover.
Being in pain and feeling miserable, this set was comfortable and cozy that I looked forwarding to getting back in bed.
Bet your wondering if it was worth it? ABSOLUTELY!
This was well worth paying a little more for. You need to remember it’s not like they are inflating the price. The extra money is in the product. You’ve got way more product when you increase the width by 8 inches!! This is one of those “you get what you pay for”.
If anyone I know has to go through what I went through I am going to tell them before surgery make sure you get you BackMax Pillow Wedges!
In the paperwork I saw they have a travel bag. I’ll definitely have to buy that next.
You need not hesitate on this purchase I promise you that you will be so glad you made this purchase. I’m glad I read the reviews and picked the BackMax!
Thank you for this wonderful product. Nobody wants to have cancer, or wants to have surgery. I’m so appreciative of having the BackMax to help me get through it all!! The BackMax was like having a security blanket when I was a kid. I knew when I was hurting I could go slide into bed onto my BackMax and everything would be alright!!
Also, I’ve always wanted to be a back sleeper because I naturally used to always sleep on my side with my hands tucked under my face and when I awoke each morning, I didn’t like seeing lines of demarcation on my face from my hands being under my face or the bed impressions on my face. Well after having side joint pains, and seeing older people in my family who have slept that way for decades and now the sides of their faces have permanent heavy indents, deep wrinkles and demarcation areas from sleeping like that (especially on the side they sleep on the most), I’ve really been trying like hell to stop myself from sleeping on my sides like that. And this wonderful product has finally resolved that issue for me! And I just feel well rested, my under eyes are no longer swollen when I awake, no lines on my face in the morning when I awake because i no longer sleep on my sides because this product provides good head elevation while you’re resting and its prevents side sleeping. I experience true beauty rest indeed.
Furthermore as an avid weight lifter I used to have an aching left hip issue. Seen a sports doctor for it but to no avail. I don’t have that issue anymore because with this product, I no longer sleep on my sides which evidently was the culprit causing my aching joint issues when I thought all along it was the heavy weights I was lifting. When I first started using this, I’d wake up with numb arms because blood wasn’t circulating properly during the night so I started putting a pillow on each side of my body to prop my arms up so my arms would be elevated with the rest of my body and that quickly resolved the issues. I must warn you though that if you fall in love with this product like I have, it’s gonna be very hard for you to travel and try to sleep in regular beds. I tried that a few weeks ago (because I couldn’t take this huge thing with me on vacation of course) and it was an absolute nightmare trying to now sleep the regular way. I’m not sure how to resolve this because I definitely don’t want to lug this huge thing around with me on trips. Lastly your partner might also not like you having this in the bed with you because it is huge. I don’t have that problem, but it is something to consider if you have someone sleeping with you nightly.
