Many medical experts recommend raising the upper portion of your mattress during sleep to open airways to reduce certain symptoms. Using extra pillows to raise your head does not work because pillows cause you to bend at your waist, which squeezes stomach acid up farther and can make heartburn worse.  For additional information on treatments of GERD, reflux and heartburn, congestion and other sleep disorders, see www.MayoClinic.com, PDRHealth, Massachusetts General Hospital, and  HealthWorld
