'tis the season!


Music Festival season is approaching! South by Southwest, Jazz Fest, Bonnaroo, MerleFest... just to name a few... and these barely get us into June! There are hundreds of wonderful outdoor music and arts events that take place every spring and summer and I always catch at least two or three of them.

I've put the WondaWedge to the camping test. In April, the proving ground will be the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival. I'm really looking forward to Jazz Fest this year in a newly energized, post Superbowl New Orleans!

Comfort and Joy

I have a “thing” about pillows. Not like the thing I have with shoes but pillows are almost equally important to me. I like to read in bed and until recently, had to build myself a small pillow kingdom to get just this side of uncomfortable. I also enjoy being outdoors and taking off in my teardrop camper but sitting up against a rounded wall in a four by eight space can prove to be frustrating.


And then I discovered The WondaWedge. The WondaWedge is an inflatable pillow made from “suede” vinyl with a permanently attached mat. I put it in my teardrop camper and my pillow problems were solved! I can read or watch a movie without cramping my neck or my style. (Yes, I have a small television and DVD player in the camper. I am, after all, civilized!) Because the camper is so small and doesn’t have a flat wall or a headboard, the WondaWedge is the perfect solution. When I get claustrophobic I can take it outside and prop myself up next to a fire with a glass of wine and a guitar. It makes star gazing a lot more fun, too. Camping is no longer uncomfortable!


I’ve discovered that the WondaWedge has multiple and practical uses. They’re terrific at music festivals or any outdoor venue that doesn’t allow chairs. And you don’t have to worry about spills because they clean up very easily. Because the WondaWedge is compact, it’s easy to carry it in a backpack or tote bag. It weighs only 1.3 pounds so you never have to haul a cumbersome chair to the beach again!



Expecting? Well, expect to be uncomfortable in that last trimester! Many expectant mommies use the WondaWedge to ease some of their discomfort before the big day and then continue using the WondaWedge to assist in their recovery and in nursing their little bundles of joy.

In recovery applications, it’s great because users are able to set their own comfort level – something you just can’t do with a conventional pillow. With all the pillows available on the market, the memory foam, the water pillows, feather pillows, etc., it’s hard to believe that something so simple could have so many terrific uses!



Whether it be recreational, physical or medical, the WondaWedge is definitely a “must have,” and makes a great gift. I love the fact that after use, I can deflate it and store it in a small space. And I’m all about the small space. The biggest problem I have is choosing which one of the eight cool colors I like best!
