The first impression
Packaging and contents
Here we take a closer look at packaging. Sustainability is becoming an increasingly important factor. In addition, adequate protection of the product must of course also be guaranteed. Are the contents of the packaging complete and does the manufacturer make it as easy as possible for me to use the product straight away?

The wedge cushion is vacuum-packed and shipped in a very space-saving way. Due to the necessary vacuum packaging, the product is sent in two plastic films to both compress it and protect it from environmental influences during transport. As the product is very easy to handle, there is no need for instructions for use . The useful information that the product will have reached its full shape after approx. 5-7 days is completely sufficient.

The processing of the gusset seams is flawless and without gaps. There are no visible seam remnants, set seams or fibre defects. As is usual with covers, the zip is concealed under a thin flap of fabric. The cover is very easy to remove and wash in the washing machine. The product quickly returns to its original shape as a wedge cushion so that it is ready for use after just a few seconds. Thanks to the Co2 offsetting undertaken by the company, this is a Co2-neutral product.

In the practical test, the stability and support in typical sleeping positions were tested first. It did not slip even with somewhat hectic movements. It also guaranteed the desired support in every sleeping position at all times. No disturbing noises were heard when changing sleeping positions. At no time did the impression of unsuitable or inferior quality arise, so that lying and leaning on it felt high-quality and comfortable. The cover is easy to remove and can be washed at any time in any standard washing machine. The self-explanatory design of the wedge cushion makes its use self-explanatory and very user-friendly.

On the Amazon platform, consumers rate the product with an average of 4.4 stars. In individual cases, there is criticism that it is perceived as too soft . On the other hand, the elegant and functional design and the comfortable reclining position are emphasised positively. In our practical test, we were able to confirm that the elegant and functional design of the wedge cushion was well received by customers. However, consumer criticism of the softness was not justified.
Prices of up to €64.90 are charged on the internet for equivalent products. Very affordable products are available from as little as €48.95 . The wedge cushion from Well-B4® is therefore currently in the middle price segment with a price of €64.90. For the quality and performance received, the price-performance ratio is very good.
