Product Description
The MOBB Foldable Wedge is a 24″W × 24″D × 12″H folding foam wedge designed to ease breathing difficulty and poor circulation by elevating the upper body. Its defining feature is that it folds flat when not in use, so it stores in a wardrobe or travels in a car boot rather than living permanently on the bed.
At 12″ this is the steepest wedge in the MOBB range — 2″ higher than the tallest fixed Bed Wedge. That extra elevation is the point: it is aimed at people who have been advised to sleep considerably propped up, where a gentle incline is not enough to make a difference to breathing or congestion.
The trade-off with a tall wedge is usually storage, because a 12″ block of foam is genuinely bulky and there is nowhere sensible to put it during the day. Folding solves that. It also makes the wedge realistic to take to a hotel, a relative’s house or a hospital stay, which a rigid wedge of this height is not.
Key Features
12″ Elevation The steepest wedge in the MOBB range, 2″ taller than the fixed 10″ Bed Wedge, for cases where a gentle incline has not been enough.
Folds Flat for Storage The whole point of the design. Fold it away into a wardrobe or under the bed during the day instead of leaving a large foam block on the mattress.
Practical for Travel A 12″ rigid wedge will not go in a suitcase or a car boot. This one will, which makes elevated sleeping possible away from home.
Eases Breathing and Circulation Elevating the upper body is the standard non-drug measure for nighttime congestion, breathlessness when lying flat, and reflux.
Full 24″ × 24″ Footprint A wide, stable base that supports the torso across its full width rather than a narrow wedge that the shoulders overhang.
Available in Blue Supplied in blue.
When to Choose the Foldable Wedge Over the Fixed Bed Wedge
Choose the Foldable Wedge if you need maximum elevation, if the wedge has to disappear during the day, or if you want to take it with you. At 12″ it gives the steepest incline MOBB offers and it is the only wedge in the range that packs away.
Choose the fixed Bed Wedge (7″ or 10″) if the wedge will live on the bed permanently and you want a removable washable cover, or if a gentler incline is more comfortable to sleep on. A folding wedge has a hinge line across it that some sleepers notice; a solid wedge does not.

Frequently Asked Questions
How high should a bed wedge be for breathing problems?
There is no single correct height, but most guidance for congestion, breathlessness when lying flat, or reflux points to raising the head and chest by roughly 6–12″. Milder symptoms usually respond to 7″; more pronounced symptoms often need 10–12″. This wedge sits at the top of that range at 12″. If you are being treated for a heart or lung condition, ask your clinician what elevation they want.
Is a folding wedge as comfortable as a solid one?
Almost, with one caveat: a folding wedge has a hinge line across it. Most people do not notice it through a sheet and mattress topper, but light sleepers sometimes do. If the wedge will stay on the bed permanently and comfort is the only consideration, the solid Bed Wedge is marginally better. If it needs to be put away daily or travel, the folding version is far more practical.
Can I use it under my legs instead?
Yes. Placed at the foot of the bed with the calves resting along the slope it raises the legs above heart level, which is the usual position for reducing swelling in the lower legs and ankles. At 12″ the angle is steep, so support the calves rather than the heels and avoid pressure directly behind the knee.
How do I clean it?
Spot clean the foam with a damp cloth and mild detergent and let it air dry fully before use. Do not machine wash or soak the foam — saturating foam damages its structure and it can take days to dry through. If you want a wedge with a removable washable cover, choose the fixed Bed Wedge instead.
Summary
The MOBB Foldable Wedge is a 24″ × 24″ × 12″ foam wedge that elevates the upper body to ease breathing and circulation, then folds flat for storage or travel — the tallest and the only packable wedge in the MOBB range.
