Finally, a Certified Organic, Supportive Wedge Pillow
Made from GOLS-certified organic Dunlop latex, our Organic Latex Wedge Pillow gives you firm, consistent support for your head, neck, and upper body when you sleep elevated, or for your legs when you prop them up. It also works as a backrest for reading, relaxing, or working in bed. Available in 7" and 10" heights, with no polyurethane foam, memory foam, or synthetic gel. The organic cotton cover is removable and machine washable. The finished pillow is GOTS-certified organic (CU863637) and holds four independent finished-product certifications (GOTS, OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 Class I, MADE SAFE®, and GREENGUARD Gold), verifying what’s in it, what’s not, and what enters the air you breathe.
ORGANIC DUNLOP LATEX
Many wedge pillows are made with polyurethane foam or synthetic gel memory foam. Ours isn’t. The core of our Organic Latex Wedge Pillow is made entirely from GOLS-certified organic and FSC®-certified (FSC-C156318) Dunlop latex, sourced from organic rubber tree farms and processed in a GOLS-certified facility. Dunlop latex is naturally resilient, so it holds its incline night after night instead of flattening, and its open-cell structure lets air move through it.
ELEVATE, RECLINE, OR PROP UP
A wedge pillow has plenty of practical uses. Sleep with your head and upper body raised, sit up against it to read or work on a laptop, or flip it around to prop up your legs. Raising the head of the bed is a commonly recommended lifestyle measure for nighttime acid reflux, and some people find an incline helps with snoring or congestion. If you’re managing reflux, sleep apnea, swelling, or recovery from surgery, ask your doctor about the right position and incline for you.
READ, WORK, OR WATCH TV UPRIGHT IN BED
Our Organic Latex Wedge Pillow makes a firm, supportive backrest for reading, working, or watching TV in bed. Its slope holds your upper body at a comfortable, upright angle, and because the latex keeps its shape, it won’t slowly flatten behind you the way softer pillows can. And it’s made without polyurethane foam.
EASY TO CLEAN, REMOVABLE COVER
The organic cotton cover zips off for easy washing. Machine wash it in cold water with an eco-conscious detergent, skip the bleach, and lay it flat or hang it to dry completely before putting it back on. The latex core itself shouldn’t be machine washed; spot clean it if needed. For extra protection, add a wedge pillowcase or a waterproof wedge protector.

How to Use a Wedge Pillow
To sleep with your upper body raised: place the wedge at the head of the bed with the tall end against the headboard, and rest your head and upper body on the slope. Many people add their regular pillow on top. Raising the head of the bed is a commonly recommended lifestyle measure for nighttime acid reflux, and some people find an incline helps with snoring or congestion.
To prop up your legs: turn the wedge around at the foot of the bed, with the tall end under your knees or calves.
To sit up in bed: stand it upright against the headboard as a backrest for reading, working, or watching TV.
Getting used to it: sleeping on an incline can take a few nights. Start with shorter periods and build up. If you’re managing a health condition, recovering from surgery, or have been advised to sleep elevated, ask your doctor which position and incline are right for you.
For Intimacy
Named Best Latex Sex Pillow by Cosmopolitan (Best Sex Pillows, Aug. 2026), and ranked Best Overall Wedge Pillow for Sleeping and for Sex by The Good Trade (Feb. 2026). The firm, consistent incline supports your back, hips, or legs and makes it easier to find comfortable positions and angles, including for people who need extra support. The latex core holds its shape rather than compressing under weight. For easy cleanup, add a removable Organic Wedge Pillowcase or Organic Waterproof Wedge Pillow Protector.
Which Sleeping Positions Use a Wedge Pillow?
Back sleepers are the most natural fit: the wedge raises your head, neck, and shoulders together on one even slope, and many people add their regular pillow on top. Side sleepers usually find the gentler 7-inch wedge more comfortable, since a steeper slope can make it harder to stay on your side. Stomach sleepers generally find sleeping on an incline uncomfortable for the neck and back, so the wedge tends to work better for reading or leg elevation than for sleep. Combination sleepers who change positions during the night often prefer the 7-inch for its gentler slope. Whatever your position, it can take a few nights to get used to sleeping on an incline.
NO CHEMICAL FLAME RETARDANTS
Our Organic Latex Wedge Pillow is made without chemical flame retardants, some of which have been linked to health concerns. Pillows aren’t required to meet the federal flammability standards for mattresses, so we don’t add them. As with any pillow made from natural materials without flame retardants, keep it away from open flames and other ignition sources.
WARRANTY & RETURN POLICY
The Avocado Organic Latex Wedge Pillow is covered by a 100-night trial (subject to our Sleep Trial Policy Terms) and a 1-Year Limited Warranty.
CARE
Machine wash your cotton cover in cold water with an eco-friendly laundry detergent. Lay flat or hang to dry. Do not use bleach. Allow to dry completely before putting the cover back on your pillow.
Tested for PFAS
PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) are synthetic chemicals used industry-wide for waterproofing, stain resistance, and flame retardancy. They persist in the environment and the human body, which is why they’re called “forever chemicals.” We don’t use chemical treatments or chemical flame retardants, and we validate that claim with lab testing.
Every component of our Organic Latex Wedge Pillow, including the organic Dunlop latex core and organic cotton cover, was included in our 2026 independent third-party testing program. Intertek, an ISO/IEC 17025-accredited laboratory, tested for 679 individual PFAS substances (up from 320 in 2024), using targeted LC-MS/MS and GC-MS methods at a detection limit of 10 parts per billion for most substances. The result: none detected.
Testing approaches differ. Some certifications screen for PFAS with a total-fluorine measurement, which reports one aggregate value rather than identifying individual substances. Targeted testing, like ours, looks for each named PFAS compound individually at a stated detection limit. These methods answer different questions, which is why we publish full Intertek reports, substance by substance and component by component. Read our PFAS testing results from 2024 and 2026.

Organic Latex Wedge Pillow FAQ
To sleep with your upper body raised, place the wedge at the head of your bed with the tall end against the headboard and the slope angled down toward the mattress, then rest your head and upper body on the incline. To prop up your legs, turn it around at the foot of the bed and rest your legs on the slope. You can also stand it upright against the headboard as a backrest for reading, working on a laptop, or watching TV in bed.
Raising the head of the bed is a commonly recommended lifestyle measure for nighttime acid reflux, and gastroenterology guidelines include it for people whose symptoms occur at night. A wedge pillow is one way to sleep with your head and upper body elevated, so gravity works with you rather than against you.
We can't promise a wedge will relieve your symptoms, and reflux can have many causes. Talk with your doctor about whether elevated sleep, and which incline, is right for you.
Some people find that sleeping with their head and upper body raised helps with snoring. Sleep apnea is different: it's a serious medical condition, and a wedge pillow isn't a treatment for it. If you snore loudly, wake up gasping, or feel tired despite a full night's sleep, see a doctor or sleep specialist.
It comes in two heights. The 7" wedge is a gentler incline that most people find easier to sleep on through the night, which makes it the best starting point. The 10" wedge is a steeper incline for people who want more elevation or more upright support for sitting up in bed. If your doctor has recommended a specific incline, choose the height closest to it.
Many wedge pillows are made from polyurethane foam or gel memory foam. Our wedge has a solid core of GOLS-certified organic Dunlop latex, which is naturally resilient, so it holds its incline night after night instead of slowly flattening, and its open-cell structure lets air move through it. The finished pillow is also independently certified for harmful substances and emissions, which matters for a surface you rest your face on for hours.
The finished pillow is GOTS certified by Control Union (CU863637), OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 Class I certified (certificate no. 24.HUS.86422), the product class for baby items, GREENGUARD Gold certified for low chemical emissions, verified Formaldehyde-Free by UL, and MADE SAFE® certified. The latex core is also GOLS certified organic at the material level. You can verify the GOTS license at global-standard.org and the OEKO-TEX certificate at oeko-tex.com.
Some people use a wedge for support while recovering, for example to sleep with their upper body raised or to make sitting up in bed easier. Because the latex core holds its shape, the incline stays consistent through the night. Positioning after surgery depends on the procedure, so always follow your surgeon's specific instructions.
Yes. Many people place their regular pillow on top of the wedge for added head and neck comfort. The wedge provides the elevation; your pillow provides the cushioning you're used to. Our Green Pillow and Molded Latex Pillow both pair well with it. Compare our organic latex pillows.
The organic cotton cover zips off. Machine wash it in cold water with an eco-conscious detergent, don't use bleach, and lay it flat or hang it to dry completely before putting it back on. Don't machine wash the latex core; spot clean it if needed and let it air dry. For extra protection, add a wedge pillowcase or a waterproof wedge protector.
