Wedge cushions encourage good posture by tilting the pelvis forward and creating a healthy inward curve in the lower back. Good posture benefits the human body in many ways, from preventing spine and disc injuries to improving core muscle tone. Car seat wedge cushions are terrific for shorter people who might have trouble seeing well when they drive. The cushion boosts their height, so they see better over the steering wheel and drive more comfortably and safely. These gel and memory foam pillows can also be useful for anyone sitting in bed to work or read. Placing the wedge against the headboard and sitting on it prevents you from sliding onto your spine and creating a strain on your hips, back, and neck. Wedge cushions can also be used while in bed to improve sleep quality during pregnancy, for people with sleep apnea, sinus infections, acid reflux, and certain eye diseases.
