The best solution I have been able to figure out for trying to sleep with chronic acid reflux is an extra large, wide, wedge pillow, which includes a non slip cover.

I've been struggling with this for a long time. Just raising the head of the bed, so that the whole bed slants up, ruins my back, hips and legs from the night-long pressure downwards and is seriously intolerable, but the wide wedge keeps my torso up just enough, and my lower half stays in a more neutral position. Works for me.
I have GERD (I'm 27, not overweight) verified via an endoscopy and over the past few years the tooth decay has gotten really bad... I'm averaging 2-5 cavities per year right now but I'm trying to treat the GERD now because "enough is enough". Even before I had GERD I would get cavities even with good dental hygeine (I think I inherited this from my mother), but GERD makes it much worse. It used to be maybe 0-2 cavities a year. Now it feels like I'm lucky if I only have 2.
The dentist told me 2 weeks ago, "If I were to guess your age based on your teeth, I'd say you were 20 years older."... :| Ouch.
My GERD involves occasional burping (not "wet burping", which is when stomach acid comes up with it) and that's about it. I don't get painful heatburn or anything like that. If not for the dentist pointing out when I came in with 4 cavities one day that the culprit was acid erosion and recommending that I see a gastroenterologist, I would have never known. I just thought that I burped a lot. But when I go to sleep it's likely that small amounts of stomach acid are being deposited on my teeth, which is the cause of most of the dental complications I believe. Not enough to notice, but enough to do damage.
To treat this I need to treat my GERD I think. An elevated wedge pillow such as this one is something I picked up recently that I hope helps with the acid depositing on my teeth while sleeping. You won't like hearing this but I've also recently tried out a vegan diet (and basically no sugar) for all but 2 meals per week (those 2 meals I have lean chicken - I work out a lot and need the extra protein) and the belching has subsided quite a bit. Eating slow and making sure you chew your food thorougly is also very important. I used to eat faster than anyone I knew, but focusing on chewing and eating slow has helped a lot as well. Along with this, I stop eating 4 hours prior to going to bed and stopped drinking alcohol altogether. PPIs such as omeprazole work in the short term but have lots of side effects in the long run, so I try to avoid them. Regardless, it really sucks. I worry about what complications my GERD will cause in the future, but all I can do is try my best to treat it with diet, good dental hygeine, that wedge pillow I linked above, and staying healthy otherwise. Feel free to check out /r/GERD for more info. It sounds like your situation is much less severe than mine, but it's always good to be aware of potential complications! I'm early in my treatment process so I'm still optimistic that I'll be able to get a hold of this through lifestyle changes.
If any dentists can weigh in on my situation or have any advice for me I'd greatly appreciate it!
