MedSlant (brand)
A long, gradual foam wedge raises the whole torso rather than bending the neck, which suits reflux and snoring, a need none of the pillow subcategories covers.
Not for: Healthy sleepers who only want a comfortable head pillow (see Bed Pillows), and stomach sleepers, who cannot use an incline.

Not for: Those who prefer latex, down, or a thin pillow without adjustment.

Questions
Can I stack regular pillows instead of using a wedge?
Not well. Stacked pillows bend you at the neck and shift during the night, while a wedge gives a stable incline from the waist up.
